Bad Company 2: Boring Title

Be glad you didn't play BF Vietnam. The helicopters on that game...
On the bright side I'm a pretty good pilot now provided I'm not having to use the Russian one, which has a whitewashed cockpit because of the goddamn bloom.
less talk, more finding a way to make the uav and helicopters use the same flight inversion setting.
Of course, it's not spotty when they try to run over me, they ALWAYS get me. I had to back over a medic about 10 feet in an abram before it gave me the roadkill.
I'm just glad my squad always lets me be the pilot.
Just last night on Port Valdez we(attackers) had an issue with a pesky helicopter. He'd do the usual fly back to the last base and repair number. So I ran all the way back to the last base and waited it out. He came flying back expectantly and started to repair it with his buddy.
They jumped in and I sniped the driver out of the fucker and it fell 5 feet back to the ground. Then I sniped thew idiot gunner who was sitting in it like a bump on a log. I jacked it (Fully healed now mind you) and proceeded to wreak bloody havoc on the defenders till we crushed them.
Good times.
why did they change it my brain is used to that way
Moment 1- Playing Arica Harbour on defense, we were withdrawing after finally losing the first points. I was an engineer and began laying mines in the town to cover the approaches. Not 2 minutes later, I was running up the road after respawning (got plinked by a forward sniper) and I hear the faint buzz of an approaching ATV.
Sure enough, I see a massive explosion followed by a flaming ATV flipping end over end through the air, accompanied by two bodies doing the same. Then ended up smashing into a tall building, it just looked so fuckawesome I almost shouted.
Moment 2 - That 3 point desert conquest map that people whine about no visibility can be a really good map.
After playing flag swap a few times, I ended up occupying the metal wreck by the middle flag, and proceeded to be an absolute pain in the ass to the enemy, constantly harassing, killing recon, flagging tanks to the point where they were sending squads in after me to flush me out. My squad started to get the idea and we set up shop there all game, recapping the point when it fell and holding them back. Such crazy firefights occurred, I can't even put into words. Hell, even took out choppers with the stationary TOW missile emplacement above.
Ended up winning that map just bleeding out the other teams tickets as they tried over and over to hold that point.
This game, despite the few issues is amazing. I will also mention that in all my playtime, I've hardly ever been killed by an M60, rarely see a group of medics doing a circle rez, and can count on one hand the amount of times I've been hit by our good friend CG, so I guess I can count myself thankful.
Can't wait to get home and waste more precious sleep time on this game. :mrgreen:
I decided that i'll jsut be the gunner and get some points if this dude wants to fly, he takes off starts heading towards the ground and jumps out and leaves me to die.
Which of course counted as a suicide apparently.
It's not you. I've had people pass clean through my hummer when I try to run them over, it seems worse at high speed. Maybe it's some super sneaky recon trick. Maybe not.
1) Join random server playing Rush
2) Join random squad
3) Pick Engineer or Assault class
4) Notice that my other 3 squadmates are Recon snipers camping somewhere useless
5) Annoyquit (little brother to Ragequit)
6) GOTO 1
I had a recon pilot do that to us and a full chopper... I was gunner, my squad spawned in on me. Didn't even take fire, I guess we were above his "spot" and he just bailed and we splashed into the side of a mountain.
Fun.
I've also completed the Vehicle, Medic, and Engineer unlock tracks. I was planning on finishing up Recon, then Assault, but I think I'm gonna be distracted after tomorrow. In any case, if anyone sees me on and I'm free, I'll happily join up with any PS3 peeps and shoot mans. Just be aware my mic is apparently not liking holding a charge...and I'm too impatient some nights to recharge it and might just play with no mic on.
Even better when you bring down the m-com building in more or less one big explosion and killing the members of your team that is being all by the book with their arming and guarding.
I am on the 360 as well, but I really don't see what is so hard about flying those things... I just get annoyed when people use it as their personal transport and never bother to alert you when they bail, or... better yet... go as a passenger and not as the pilot.
But then again this is on 360, I shouldn't be surprised with how people play. 8-)
For me its I always fly in reverse, I don't understand the proper direction to tilt it to get it to fly forward I guess.
God I wish I could find a setting to fix that
and what is needed is the UAV and Helis to have different Vertical axis controls, rather than the same. Since the two have completely different flight models.

I like to jump on a quad, drive flat out to the M-COM and arm it, despite overwhelming enemy opposition. I always die, but that's kind of the point.
If it's an attack helicopter I'll only use 3rd person when landing for repairs, but when piloting the transport helis like the Blackhawk I think you're definitely better off sticking to 3rd person when in flight. You get a much better idea of how you're aiming your gunners, and you can see where you're taking fire from MGs, tracers, or rockets.
Seems like they should allow me to play with people around the same rank, at least id feel less like complaining cause we all use the same gear.
Do I just have horrible luck with pubs or what?
Nothing more fun than taking down an MCOM yourself, such a rush. I think it's the whole K/D disease...
If faith is just a silent tribute, mine is just a desperate act.
nah, i've seen this as well. just a ton of high level guys loaded onto one team that dominate some new players. sucks a whole bunch.
Not that I'm really surprised, as the PC version can't even auto-balance properly
Steam: CarbonFire MWO, Planetside 2, Origin: Carb0nFire
I don't really feel pissed off at the gear but I find I have to drop out of a few servers till I find a good mix of players.
Or, if my squad is decent, we just try to hang on best we can and try to turn the tide ourselves
But usually we get wiped...

Who was this, I want to laugh at you.
It was like that video of the camel meeting the train. The 4-wheeler dissapears from the bottom of my screen, I hear a thud, and a roadkill pops up on my screen.
This neo-feudalism would be more tolerable if our betters had fancy titles.
If EA decides to let you play (Crashes, server problems, freezing, death, etc), it's amazing.
So, I decided to find the highest place I could to look over their second set of Mcoms, which turned out to be a hill just to the west of the first staging ground. I could see all the way to the back of the village from it, more or less. I was only able to get one headshot on a sniper hiding in the cliff.
It took nearly a full second to reach his head with an arc that was more like artillery than a bullet and garnered me 238 marksman points.

Could a kind soul please add "puffin" to the player list?
I promise, I'm trying to rid myself of the 40mm addiction.
minor bf moment:
Hunkered down as defense behind some concrete blocks as the zone switches over after the mcoms are blown up. Get all aimed up on Bradley coming through with the RPG-7, shoot it, enemy recon spawns at the same time and takes it in the face from about 5 feet away about. Didn't feel bad about that one, you did that to yourself.

Thank you for understanding that the purpose for recon isn't just getting random kills of guys that will respawn in 10 seconds with no penalty!
I was on a server last night and 7/12 of my offensive teammates were snipers on the beta map (port valdez?). Even so, the stationary and machine gun turrets were fully manned.
Do I swap to a sniper and take them out, hoping one of the random heroes haphazardly running down the road will actually make it? Nah, odds are low.
M16A2, extra grenades (smoke), magnum bullets and a fierce smile later, I armed B twice (after previously having blown up a). While it immediately got defused, twice, I claimed a moral victory since I rambo'd the objective.
