Battlefield Bad Company 2 Clubhouse

[raptori]

well after trying the game i must say the multiplayer is stunning ..
but i want to make sure about one thing :- I'm using nanostation to get my internet and the connection goes to my brother PC directly then to me through shared connection so do I have to do something like port forwarding in if yes then how-to since all I'm reading on the internet is related to routers??

note: i noticed some kind of connection problems in the game if I'm using the shared connection and I'll investigate if its due to our Internet service problem or just because I'm using a shared connection.

Anytime I have ever heard anyone on the ingame chat, it makes me extremely angry, because they just breath into their mic and crap, I'm not sure if I really want it to work.

i dont believe so i think everything has been worked out with 10.8

Except 10.8 load times suck, everything else runs great though.

 

[Wrigleyvillain]

Hiding ain't no fun though

Yeah you are correct and thats one of the reasons I'm a bad sniper (I mean in general though I have played Recon all of 10 mins in this game and active, smart Recons kick ass. Just cause you have a sniper rifle doesn't mean you should always just hide in the hills...)

Though back to my comment about mines, hiding can be a lot more fun when you have mines littered everywhere and sit and watch the kills roll in!

I just finished reinstalling BC2. I'm gonna have to warm up on this game again. I really miss spawning right behind Lemode and having him turn and catch me with a couple of rounds in a panic.

Really? I noticed no difference.

Compared to actually playing BC2 this video is no more epic than Oprah appearing on Dr.Phil

 

[TheLaughingMan]

It was good to see 5 members of TPU on TS and BFBC2 again. Very fun until the enemy turned weak.

 

[1Kurgan1]

Really? I noticed no difference.

I use to load in with 12 - 14 seconds waiting on the first spawn. On fresh windows with 10.8's I load in right when I am able to spawn, and sometimes a bit late. Feels bad being beat by Marineborn when he's using a laptop....

On the EA UK forums, DICE community manager zh1nt0 got JoeGrant, the DICE QA manager, to answer a few questions posed by the community. As per usual, after requesting everything under the sun, they were un-appeased with a few morsels:

How come VOIP is still not working? Why isn't it working. Planning a fix?
Yes there is a problem with VOIP and we are aware of it. There are things we are working on at the moment and whilst we want to solve VOIP we are currently concentrating on the Hitbox issue first. After that we will see.

Is it possible to add new maps to the game?
Yes... the system does support the addition of new maps. This is a fishing question, as you know there is new content coming as part of Vietnam. We have a system that can support additional content. I am not at liberty to reveal what the overall plan is.

Blue chat box? Some people see it, some people don't. Explain please!
After talking to Kalms... It is present all the time. Now, whether it is visible depends on whether you have bloom enabled, and what brightness/contrast settings you have in-game. With the default settings, it is hardly visible (a quick check around the office turns out that it is invisible on most machines).

Why is there almost no link between the story of Bad Company 1 and 2 ?
What happened with Miss July and the Legionnaire ?
There was an intentional tone change.

Will there be further performance improvements done to the game?
As said, we have several things we are looking at. Hitbox is a big thing right now but there will probably be more adjustments made around the release of Vietnam. We can't yet say what they will be. General performance is not something we are concentrating on.

I guess I was wrong about progress on the VOIP issue.

There is a queue system now for the first spawn. If you want to get in immediately, click "Ready" long before the count is complete. That should fix any delay in getting in the game.

 

[1Kurgan1]

There is a quote system now for the first spawn. If you want to get in immediately, click "Ready" long before the count is complete. That should fix any delay in getting in the game.

What I mean is I am stuck in the stat screen, and Join doesn't appear until much later than it use to. Before I use to be able to click join and get in with that much time listed on the timer, and hit Ready then wait, now I get in and can instantly get in because my load took much longer.

 

[GullyFoyle]

The buzz of the EA UK Forums is this thread where an "unknown" poster, registered since 2006, claims he has an inside source at DICE that told him of impending NEW maps for BFBC2. People want to believe.
We Report. You Decide.

all I know is that there are 4 maps coming...yes, before Vietnam.

Got a source in Sweden at DICE. I am just a messenger that wants to let the community know that they are actually working over there at DICE. DICE really wants to surprise you all but imo they are taking too long. I personally have known this source for many years and he/she talks to me time to time on TS. He/She gave me the scoop and I had to let the community know just a hint as to want is to come. DICE may have fibbed, but it's a good fib. Again there are no Guarantees. Who knows if they will release them at all they can always change their mind, but they are def planning to according to my source.

well it looks like i am not making a big enough impact on the community. There will be two BC1 maps and two BFBC2 single player maps converted to multiplayer in either the next map pack or the one after it. But definitely before Vietnam.

It's for real, they made it happen, the single player maps are done. And the BC1 maps are still being worked on. I just got off the phone with my source, and he/she said they are 100% planning this, and may reveal just before Tokyo Game Show...Vietnam will be playable at the Tokyo EA office showcase on the floor. A trailer is done and will be shown soon.

Yea free/VIP, it will be in a new patch/mappack, in either the next one or the one after, there is no confirmed date.

Questions and Answers

On 2 sundays in a row, the player stats of PS3 players have been resetted without any notification given by EA. What is causing the resets?
Occasionally EA servers require a restart at unscheduled times, we only do this if it is urgent or required for an update to the EA servers.

Scopes on G3 and M14? yes or no once and for all?
We are receiving many questions about this and Demize99 has already explained they won’t be in there anytime soon and is constantly under review.

Any chance of getting friendly mine indicators on the gadget or the mini map like the c4 has?
It is something we haven’t considered adding but is a possible addition in the future. We however don't know when this will happen.

New Battlefield Blog Post: Tokyo Game Show -- Get ready for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam!

Packing is pretty much done!

This is it! I am going to Tokyo Game Show to showcase Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam for the first time -- and to spend some quality time with the Japanese Battlefield Community.

As you may already know, Vietnam is an expansion pack to Battlefield: Bad Company 2 with 4 brand new maps built in Frostbite, as well as Vietnam specific weapons, vehicles, persistence, unlocks, and achievements/trophies.

Check out the Vietnam trailer from E3 below, and stay tuned for more info straight from the show floor in Tokyo!

Hey, didn't I hear this last bit from somewhere else?

Tokyo Game Show takes place September 16-19

I love how they sped up load times like…amazingly with 10.4 only to strip that shit away from us like a week or few weeks later.

I was tricked into getting 10.8 by Windows update and I don't have these issues. My game loads just as fast as it always has. From click "Play Game" in steam to logged in and looking for a map is like 10 to 15 seconds. "Loading" map once I picked one takes about 7 to 12 seconds. Starting a round for the first spawn I get in and the standard 25 second counter at around 15 seconds, I click "Ready" and I am ingame .25 second after it hits 0.

So I guess I can only suggest defrag. your HDD.

 

[raptori]

what is it about "Vietnam" is it new map pack or new add-on

 

[Black Haru]

it's this

 

[DannibusX]

They should totally make the M-16's randomly jam in the Vietnam expansion.

 

[Black Haru]

alright can anyone tell me what this is and how to disable it? it only pops up in bad company, but I have to restart the game whenever it does.


when I'm playing, ill talk on teamspeak, and sprint, and it activates a hotkey for something or other, it pops open a text box so that whenever I hit a key it comes up with an oriental character translation, and it wont go away until I reboot the game. anyone got any ideas?

I took screenies but the box didn't show up. so ended up with a camera phone pic.

I was merely making reference to that time frame.

I uninstalled the game months ago so I don’t give a shit about loading now. Ha.

I can't believe Vietnam is this close and they are going to be releasing 4 more maps? When?
