That would work!

I keep getting kicked off because of a Punkbuster glitch.

afaik the server issue has been fixed, the server owners just need to update their boxes

search for a2g servers -- they all work just fine

edit: also I'm up for anyone squadding with me. it's a plus if you have vent though as typically all of us do!

Still very frustrating. The UI is worthless and searching for servers takes forever!

Oh, and I absolutely HATE games that make you level up to use weapons. A game shouldn't rely on leveling up and unlocks to encourage people to play.

Can't even log into the EA Servers now... what a joke.

I played the beta on 360... I loved the graphics and the intense battles but there is just not enough realism.... When I hit you in the chest with ANY type of gun you are going down... period...... you have to hit people 2 or 3 times with the sniper rifle to take them down... that and no prone killed it for me... everything else about the game I liked though... I just cant get past no prone... its just not realistic..

When someone is shooting at you, you will get down ... you wont just kneel and say here I am kill me.....

MW2 is where ill stay until something better comes out or they fix BC2's flaws......


BTW my Xbox gamertag is Grimnitemare if anyone wants to play....

play hardcore.

also I really am not a fan of prone and it was probably taken out due to dolphin diving in previous BF games.

They could easily tune that out.

Prone is absolutely necessary, IMO. The game blows without it.

I got it for my PC via STEAM, and the game kicks butt. I have MW2, but its really getting boring fast. One thing that bugs me about BFBC2 is these guys can take a clip before they go down.

So are there different modes? I was just in a server that had a limited HUD and it seemed like the sniper rifle was much more effective (one shot kills).

That's hardcore mode. UI is disabled, bullets are more realistic and you have no x-hair making the sight upgrades awesome.

Yeah, that's it then. I'm much better in Hardcore mode than the regular mode which seems to be more run and gun than anything else.

Still wish all of the weapons were unlocked, though. I think the game would be great if all weapons were unlocked and you could go prone. Without that it really, really sucks when it doesn't have to. Makes me mad.

Weapons are only set up like that in ranked servers. If you play unranked then everything is unlocked already (iirc). To be honest I sort of like the unlock system -- or at least for some of the guns. I think they should throw you a couple more bones early on to help out.

It is also silly that the medic has to unlock his paddles + bag.

Overall, it's a nice break from CS:S for me -- 'specially because I cannot stand MW2.

Hmm.. I hope you're right. The server sorting is very whack so I haven't been able to figure out who is ranked/unranked yet.

Only issue I have with this so far is that you have to un-laod an entire clip to take someone down. i know this changes in hardcore, but still.

What I love about this, is that campers are pretty much pointless in this game, and that was the single thing i hated the most about MW2, campers with heart beat monitors.


So far its a good alternative to playing MW2 until something else comes out. I just have a feeling once you level it all out, you will get bored really fast.

are there even prestige in this game?
