    It's shitty use the pp-2000
    It's shitty use the M60.

    Or I guess in your case the auto-shotgun. Really good for them folks what can't aim. 8-)

    Oh haha, I get it! Haha, you said they were better than you, then you said they killed you with those weapons. You forgot the M60, though, you kidder you.

    >: (

    There was one guy running around on PA West Coast last night who was using absolutely nothing but the nades on his XM8 and the knife. I never saw him actually fire a single AR round. But at the same time he did manage to kill me probably a dozen times compared to the five or so where I got him. I haven't had anybody kill me over and over again with the M60. Yet.

    I love spotting people.

    You do have to unlock paddles and medkits. I think it's kinda silly too. Paddles I don't mind, but I really wish each class started with its first unlock.

    I wish so hard that you could revive enemy players. Then by the time they get back up, shock them again, but this time to death. It could give me negative points and I would still do it to people who spam the GL. Also, it would be great fun to get a tank lined up, revive an enemy, and then immediately run them over.

    But in a legitimate request, I want the UAV to not spin out and explode just because you leave the console. I waited for one the other day, hopped on as soon as it was ready, hit E again by accident, and was rewarded with watching a grounded UAV burst into flame and explode. Awesome.

    And can UAVs be repaired by engineers or is their damage permanent? As fragile as they are, it would be nice to be able to find a friendly engineer and get him to fix up your little buddy so you can continue to drop missiles on fools. I also wish the UAVs were slightly more durable so I could justify flying one into a room to machine gun enemies at point blank range. Also, chop them to pieces.

    There doesn't seem to be any kind of automatic team balancing in this game, or if there is, most servers seem to have it off by default.

    Which can lead to some really aggravating scenarios.

    If you're going on full auto, you'll miss about 80% of the time. Burst fire is the key.

    Yeah aim is tricky to get perfectly right at first. If you're spraying, chances are you will barely hit your enemy at all, while he will be able to burst a couple of bullets in your face to kill you, which is probably what you are experiencing

    - Close-quarter level design

    Things bfBC2 does poorly:
    - Pretty much everything else


    Man. Get me the fuck out of South America already. I have a pretty long patience span with games but this takes the piss. And after CoDMW1&2 (the acronyms are on the move), in-game events just aren't the fucking same.

    Large-scale level design is beyond weak and just plain boring, most gunplay is boring, graphics are unremarakable apart from some nice main character models and shading... And I'm not a fan of the stuttery 'footfall' cam, because damn, it just makes it look my computer is choking.

    But I think I will enjoy the multiplayer. Yes.

    And helicopters cheat.

    I swear, my biggest pet peeve about shooters ever is the whole 'oh hey all infantry and helicopters will automatically shoot at you and only you, ever'. Thus rendering entire avenues of tactics null and void. Lame as fuck, dude. And when playing on hard it just feels goddamn cheap. CoD was another offender.

    Needless to say, I am not very happy right now. This must be a giant conspiracy to keep me from playing this game. This close to hunkering down and ordering a 5770 or something.

    I got a sniper rifle almost immediately.

    They aren't that fun in single player. Not because of the gun, but because of the way combat works.

    When you're always the bullet magnet and bullets disrupt your aim, sniping ceases to really amuse. So I rock a half-scope and an SMG, but it's not the same...
