Battlefield Bad Company 2 Clubhouse

[GullyFoyle]

another console nab joins the ranks of elitest console pricks at DICE. still - I hope he shows a little more respect for the pc community then that faggot Baz has.

Re: Bazajaytee

He's a second level producer that gets put in charge of maintenance of existing franchises. His proclaimed favorite Battlefield is BF2142, which is a PC exclusive. While under his control, the 1.5 patch for BF2 was released with DRM and disc check removed, ex-packs made free, and new maps included. The same is due for BF2142 in the near future. If he had any part in that, I'm a fan.

Re: the new Community Manager

He says he's going to be spending time on the EA 'den of trolls' forums. Good luck to him. I hope he has the patience of a saint, or the fortitute to go in there and clean house and make it fit for visitation. There's no reason they shouldn't demand the kind of common decency and respect for others from users that an independent forum like this one demonstrates.

BF2 is 5 years old today

BF2 is 5 years old today

Wow its funny you say this. I made a comment at work today about how they continue to support a game that is 5 years old.

I don't think it is right that BFBC2 was released with the bugs it has (and still has after patches). I'm glad they had the beta to see how it ran on systems and to find problems so they'd have a patch on day 1 of the release. However, if they support this game as long as BF2 and continue to patch (fix) the game I'd be very pleased.

Here is some things I can think of they need to fix ASAP -
*Fix the knife - I can't think of how many times I've had to stab someone 5 times before they die. God knows how many times I've been robbed of a knife kill because of this issue.
*Fix the singleplayer to allow custom FOV - nobody likes a weapon taking up half of their screen in an FPS game.
*Fix the server browser to allow your favorites list to actually work.
*Tone down the M60 (de-nerf it). I'm tired of getting pwned by Medics using the M60 halfway across the map while they are sitting their ass on a med kit.
*So many others I can't think of right now....

For the most part I agree, but personally; I want the old m60 back. the medic class has no way to deal with vehicles, so the m60 sort of balanced that.

BF2 is still riddled with bugs - according to some, but 1.51 is the last BF2 patch you will ever see - ontop of that how many years did it take for them to release 1.51 after 1.41??

the game was released in 2005 but there was no widescreen support until 2009 - by that time most people have already moved on to different game. people have been bitching about widescreen for BF2 & some game balancing for ages but everyone just got ignored. for a good 1 or 2 years.

therefore their 'support' shouldnt really be classed as 'support' - it should be classed as 'retards in their natural habitat' motherf**kers that nothing do f**k all but spin around on their chairs all day sticking pencils in their ears n pretending their from some far away unknown plant called lazyassholes. thinking about what they should be doing but not actually doing what they should be doing

 

[overclocking101]

I'm sorry, but I do feel the swearing is necessary in what I say next. Are you fucking kidding me? Sorry, but your just flat out wrong, I loved the M60, it's still good, but as far as other kits go, theres a TON of weapons that are just as good. And they keep buffing the damn AN-94 (I don't get it?). The M60 is fine, that bandwagon ended a few months ago, time to get off of it.

 

[kid41212003]

I'm going to stick the M60 in his ass and rape him.

@ Ross

M60 is already really weak compare to 2-3 months ago. Now it's really balance compare to other LMGs.

 

[TheMailMan78]

My BC2 will not start. The window just closes when I go to run it. Any ideas?

I don't look forward to this but now I'm prepared

I started out as Medic when the game came out and enjoyed it. I was way more noob than I am now but I remember the M60 being real powerful when I used it in April. I'm sorry I shouldn't have said what I did at this point in time, I haven't played as Medic in a long time.

I used to get this, but updated to a newer forceware driver and I haven't seen it since. Maybe I'm just lucky?

Same here. I wonder what the hell happened.
Anyone see BFBC 2 expansion videos on youtube. VIETNAM !

Sorry my BF2 closes when I go to run it. Not BC2 ! One more day until upgrades.

 

[Mussels]

i had issues like that when using fraps,D3Doverrider/rivatuner OSD etc


try disabling anything that messes with 3D stuff or overlays, see how you go

 

[FreedomEclipse]

my BF2 closes when I go to run it

that happend to me too & it took me a good while to figure out what was wrong when I shoulda been playing with my friends on the 1.51 patch....

anyway the problem can be one of 2 things (in my experience)

1. you didnt patch the game correctly - Install BF2>expansions>patch 1.41>patch 1.51

2. you are running Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 - god knows why it blocks BF2, & worst of all it wont even TELL you that it blocks it & thats why it was hard figure out. - just add BF2.exe to your exclusions & the game should run if its patched correctly

if these dont work then I dont know

[Scrizz]

not getting my hopes up!

i hear ya.
How many months has this patch been "next week"

 

[1Kurgan1]

i hear ya.
How many months has this patch been "next week"

Like a month. It hasn't been even out for 4 months yet.

 

[GullyFoyle]

i hear ya.
How many months has this patch been "next week"

The patch was first mentioned around May 6th, for release the week of May 10th-14th ("next week"). So, its been "next week" about 7 times..

twitter.com/OfficialBFBC2: "R8 Client and R12 Server is due early next week, see what you can expect here and discuss here"

The patch before that was released on April 21st, two weeks before the latest was first announced.

twitter.com/fausto412: "@Bazajaytee did steam says the patch is good to go for monday yet?"
twitter.com/Bazajaytee: "@fausto412 Dunno, DICE is closed for Midsummer today. Won't know til Monday morning. Might log into my work email later to see though "
twitter.com/fausto412: "@Bazajaytee so how long after you find out the patch is good to go from steam does it take to actually release it? will i wake up to it?"
twitter.com/fausto412: "@Bazajaytee or does steam drag their feet to put the patch out? i mean if you find out now, can they deploy in 30 minutes?"
twitter.com/Bazajaytee: "@fausto412 The QA team that tests for STEAM compatibility is part of EA only they are in San Fran and not Sweden"
twitter.com/Bazajaytee: "@fausto412 Earliest it will be out is Monday. Will log into my work email later when the QA team will hopefully have tested it for STEAM."
twitter.com/Bazajaytee: "@fausto412 If we found out now though and wanted to (never on a Friday) Valve can usually have the patch ready to go as quick as we can"

 

[Scrizz]

lol so maybe "next week"

 

[FreedomEclipse]

"Valve can usually have the patch ready to go as quick as we can"

Valve can also get their patches right the first time & not have to delay it a month while they break, n rebuild it

 

[GullyFoyle]

twitter.com/Bazajaytee: "BFBC2 PC patch testing for Steam compatibility is going well, they'll make their final call on Sunday and give me results on Monday."

twitter.com/Bazajaytee: "As long as they make their call in time. I'm hoping for Monday morning Europe time so we can do evening release."

twitter.com/Bazajaytee: "If testing for Steam says yes we just need to flick the switch, matter of minutes for it going out."


twitter.com/Bazajaytee: "As promised, here is the Inside QA video I mentioned I would show you - http://bit.ly/bu2XT2 if you want to share please share the blog link"

Just got the game. I know Im a bit late but Im not the addict I use to be after marriage
I did play beta but that worked like it worked.

My first impression was WOW but right after this I started noticing how many important features this game lacks compared to BF2:

-radar markers completly unreadable. If you shoot you wont be marked for the enemy. This is stupid because this game is not super tactical shooter where you can hear everything in the chaos of helicopters tanks etc.
-havent checked everything out yet but there is no commander. Or at least not like in BF2 where you got target markers along with enemy positions. UAV and the airstrike.
-NO PRONE ?!
-ingame voice completly retarded. Random sentences on random occasions. I loved how the ingame voices worked in BF2. You didnt hear random crap but only when the opponent actually chose some ingame msg to say.
-maps are a bit of boring. Not many super camper spots you can hide in which was really fun in BF2.

All this above can be forgotten as these are mearly ingame lacks not total fk ups like CallofDutyMW2 (IWNET).
I love the overall gameplay feeling.Close combat is really really well done and solid to bullets walls and a bit of running is really a great feeling after all that arcade in CODMW1/2.
