    Any idea why I see all these damn UK servers at the top of my server browser?

    I wish they would show latency...

    edit: also goddamn the knife is so frigging satisfying too. They're slow, and the sound it makes when it makes contact. Damn.

    I'm having the same issue, but people have been saying that latency does show for them.
    I'm in Eastern-Ontario, and usually have no trouble finding a place that pings well, but on this I only ever see "-" under latency and get servers from the UK up at the top of my list and have a hell of a time finding the ones like Montreal.

    Also fuck yeah the animation is what sells me on the knifing. Brutal.

    Bring it on. I put the SPAS-12 on over half my MW2 kits just for guys like you :P.

    But seriously, if I see a knifer charging around in a game of BC2, I will use the game disc as a clay pigeon.

    Not to draw comparisons between this and MW2, but for what it's worth: After playing BC2 all weekend, and trying to play a round of MW2 damn if I didn't suck hard. I'm just now starting to get my groove in BC2.

    As far as leveling goes... is it just me, or is it really, really slow? I play mostly assault class, and I score about ~1000 points a game unless we get rolled hard. I drop ammo crates, I kill quite a bit (about 1.83 K/D lifetime ratio now). But some of the kits and weapons have well over a million points? It can't stay that way, right?

    edit: Also, another weird beta bug thing: when looking at the squad screen, some players' ranks keep "cycling" over and over... anyone ever see that? Wonder what that's all about...

    It's because it's a demo. You're only supposed to get 1 unlock per class, 1 vehicle upgrade, and 2 levels. That's it.

    Edit: Unless you're playing one of the betas. In which case, carry on.. nothing to see here.. bastard.

    The 1911 is surprisingly powerful. I've put people down with 2/3 shots.

    Also, I'm pretty sure that the only reason those unlocks are millions of points is because they're either not ready for the beta yet or they just don't want to put everything in the beta.

    The super-high kits are just there as a quick and dirty way to block off content for the beta, it will go back to a more reasonable value when the game drops

    Holy shit Jaunty get on Steam we need to play some more. More pistol and knife only badassery!

    Also for you people saying I'm a MW2faeg, I HATE that game. It is the glitchiest, most unbalanced, uninteresting, unfinished piece shit I have ever had the misfortune to play. BC2 blows it out of the water.

    I just played a hardcore match where I got shot 4 times in the head in a row, I could hear the bullets pinging off my helmet with my screen pulsing red for each hit. I somehow lived. Either this game has really punishing damage fall off from a distance or they forgot to put in penetration.

    Actually, helmets do their job. And Fyre, we're usually both medics. If one man falls in the blaze of .45 shells and bloody steel, the other revives him. And so the cycle continues.

    Need more pistol ammo if you're going to try and use it as a primary. As it stands you've basically got three magazines to work with, and that will not do.

    I get the feeling that you can indeed see the actual values.

    They just added 10 million points onto each of them.

    Don't bother, I don't think the game supports flight sticks at the moment. Mine is impossible to bind at least until they fix the configuration.
