I thought that origionally, but I only play on servers where I ping in the thirties and it was not a game that had any noticeable slowdowns, plus his back was turned to me and it was doubtful he was ever going to turn around if lag was involved as he was aiming his pistol in the opposite direction.... I do get your point though, just seems to many variables to me.

ping in thirties doesnt rule out packet loss, jitter, or general screwups in the interwebs.

with things like this logic alone cant be trusted cause you can guarantee you dont know everything thats going on at once... we dont know the games lag prevention mechanisms, or how bogged down the server is.

ping means squat, if the server lacks sufficient bandwidth, for example.

That sounds like a headshot script, instant turn and headshot with a pistol, those suck, only seen one guy that was doing something like that. This guy yesterday def wasn't headshot script, just seemed like his bullets did very high damage and that he knew where we were almost always. Just no way that 5 encounters 2v1 with both me and another guy putting rounds into him and he kills us both and has like 75% hp every single time. Maybe 1 or 2 times getting lucky, but 5 times and same thing everytime, pretty aggravating.

cadaveca · Sep 13, 2010

I say hackers are lagging the servers. Been on a server where 1 guy had like 238 kills, noone else had ANY.

Beginning to think CTD is related to hackers, too.

if he was hacking, I must give him props. not for cheating, but for being subtle enough to not be immediately picked out (by PB or players) I always thought hackers were pretty dumb for being so obvious.

I was on a game earlier yesterday and a player named Sara_Palin (that is not a joke). Joined a game. In like 1 minute she had 20 kills and 2 deaths. I was currently 11 and 1. They kicked her, but not me. This was because I was in the Vulcan and 9 of my kills were from shooting down the chopper twice and destroying 2 trucks. Her's were all Sniper kills. Something was obviously shady with Sara.

Eh, I think theres methods that are bypassing PB pretty easily now, the only time I ever seen anyone running headshot script he wasnt getting banned. Was watching the guy who was rank 5 spin in basically circles, the closest enemy too him had to be 300+ yards away, and he was assault, would kill 5 people at 300+ yards with 1 clip. Watched him go 31/1 then 28/1 then 26/0, then I finally left, PB failed and I gave up.

TheLaughingMan · Sep 13, 2010

Now that we have established there are some dicks out their, I still find this few and far in-between to be annoying. I bitch about cheat tactics, and the occasional BS moment when I think the game itself screwed me over, but for the most part I don't have problems. I think it is worse in this game than say BF2142, which was a little lower than BF2, but no Battlefield game has never had the level of cheating that MW2 had (can't say has as I do not know if the 3 most used glitches/cheats were fixed. I stopped playing that game).

BFBC2 still has a lot of room for improvement, but I think they are doing ok with stopping exploits/cheats/glitches as this system will always be a reactive one. I figure another week of this and Punkbuster will release a patch to spot and stop the current 2 cheats.

1Kurgan1 · Sep 13, 2010

Yeah., over all, I can think of only a handfull of times that I have thought someone was really cheating. See a lot of PB bans, and didnt even have an issue with those people.

Unlocked the M416 lastnight. Had a go with it this morning and got 3/13. Went back to using the AUG and got 10/2 ....

In other words, i don't like that gun! lol.

1Kurgan1 · Sep 13, 2010

Yeah the M416 is a weird gun, you either will love it and hate all other Assault Rifles, or you will hate it and like most of the others. I cant take its iron sights, or its noobtube sights, or how it fires grenades strangely, seems it has a completely different arc than the other assault rifles.

Do it man. We are down. There are still at least 10 of us that still play. I don't think anyone who plays this at least twice a week has an issue with $2.50 a month.

well i would really like to put together a TPU BC2 tourney! i think a squad deathmatch would be a lot of fun. and doing that means having our own server.

AN94 is weird too. There is very lil recoil but bullets scatter everywhere when you shoot :laugh:

yeah, worse assault weapon IMO, I like the F2000 or whatever it's called, it is the perfect close range spary and pray weapon :laugh:

I love the AN-94 and the M416. This is obvious as I have Platinum with both and working on the M16A2 whenever I finish with AK74-u and VSS.

Simply put, the AN-94 is a mid-ranged marksman's weapon. The 2 round burst scatters when fired from the hip, but is very tight when sighted. The gun is for people who sight, then shoot and only pray and spray at close range when caught off guard. I think most people who play Recon the most like this gun for Assault.

I think the M416 is the best overall weapon in the game. Seriously. Consistent decent damage, tight pattern spray, fast reload time, low jump for manual burst, good iron sight, good fire from the hip pattern, and good long range accuracy. I can pick better guns for each category, but they would all be different. It is kinda built to be the measure other AR's against for your style. If you are not sure, get the M416 and see what situations you put yourself in a lot that it comes up short for you, then pick a different AR that fits your Assault Style.

AEK-971 = Training gun to teach you to manually burst fire guns.
XM8-P = Decent overall weapon, better accuracy at long range AR
F2000 = Automatic Shotgun. Prey and Spray at close range and ambush tactics ONLY
AUG = For holding ground. Best for fighters who don't move a lot, mid-range mostly
AN-94 = Sight and shoot style. For people who fire aimed bursts.
M416 = Best overall AR. Not areas of strength, no real weaknesses either.
M16A2 = Prey & Spray/Sight and Shoot. Low recoil when timed right for "full auto", but works best at mid and long range with sighted, controlled bursts.

These ^ are my opinion and may be influenced by my natural play style, but it is how I see it.

the only bad ar in all of assault is the F2000. every other gun is money!

Yeah, it's why I stopped using it, the things just too inconsistent. It's a good close/mid range weapon, but longer range it's flat out useless, and like all of the later Assault rifles, it's Iron Sights are flat out garbage. So I use the XM8, and sometimes I use the M16.

And here's a link for the EU version http://eu.evga.com/articles/00578/

This time can't take part on both, only on the EU one

But it's good, get me to BC2 action on again. Missed the last 'play with DICE' a week ago, seemed they had fun.

Oh and ordered a 23" 2ms FullHD Sammy for birthday, can't wait to try Bad Company with high res and bigger screen :rockout:

Food for thought.

Will do that just in case, even though it's for ATI. Heard the new GTS 450 review drivers do wonders with BC2 and GTX 460, but think I'll waith for something more official.

Good games tonight guys, was a lot of fun playing with that many TPUers again. Had to retire, comp started lagging bad at the end there and giving weird graphics glitches, think I'm gonna ditch the Cat 10.8's :/

when I put 10.8 on, I had to flash my mobo and vga (but then again this is a lappy, and it did help a lot)

I also enjoyed playin tonight.

picked up a new mouse and it's taking some getting used to though.
