    How many pounds you've gained due to battlefield related physical inactivity.

    Its how many Battlefield Games you own -1. So my rank of 6 means I have 7 other Battlefield games (and I do). A rank of 1 means you get access to the M1 Garand, any higher and you are just showing of but I like that :mrgreen:

    okay well i finally hit rank 10

    my k:d ratio is like .92

    i like to think i am a team player!

    so far i am impressed by people who spam 203 'nades... i don't get killed by them often, and personally i suck with them. i feel like the blast radius is pretty modest.

    i am usually an average sniper in most games... the recon class in this game is kind of weird for me. maybe i need to unlock better rifles? right now i need to hit neck or up with the bolt action for a one hit kill, and the 88 semi-auto seems to take three body shots to put someone down. but people one shot me all the time, even in a dead horizontal run... so yeah, some of y'all are really good i guess

    so far my two biggest gripes (and they aren't 'legitimate' gripes against game balance or anything... they are just particular strategies that rub me the wrong way) are large swaths of recon enemies who camp certain areas... and medics with LMGs who pile in the second story of a building. i have unlocked the m249 and i think i am okay with it (not great, by any means), but i swear some of those medics are like friggin' snipers

    anyways

    fun game

    hello

    It looks like it's from the beta; maybe they changed the effects since then.

    pretty sure the M1 is verifiably better than the M14. pretty sure.

    Also god damn the XM8P owns, had a 4.5k round just from combat points (not awards and shit)

    According to that weapon chart that gets posted about, they're exactly the same, damage wise.

    The only difference, is the M1's got a longer reload and a smaller clip than the M14's magazine.

    Demize, the liar himself (so take a grain of salt) has said something to the effect of the M1 Garand and Tommy Gun being WW2 weapons should not be expected to compete with modern firearms on a 1 to 1 basis.

    Try running the game in DX9 and on low settings - and still getting 12 fps and tearing.

    So, I jump on the Dome early this morning, with it full of pubs. Half of my team insists on sniping. I encouraged them to leave their hills with endless smoke grenades.

    I literally chased an entire two squads of pubbie recons off the hill on Valdez last night. It was identical to herding sheep. Shoot a smoke, they move forward two metres. Smoke them again, they move again. I dropped an ammo box and herded them down to the rocks at the foot of the hill and then smoked that too. They scattered into the trees and rubble and I planted on B. The defenders got nowhere near it due to about twelve snipers lining the outside of the construction site. I swear to god, you have to remind yourself that these are actual people playing the game.

    It seems like the beta drivers that enable AM3 processor compatibility for my motherboard have been in beta forever.

    And it's only been a week and a half.

    Carefully! Find an empty server on a chopper map, preferably Attacama Desert and practice. Also, pick up medic kits and revive your squadmates, we're dying, on the ground feet from you, why do you hate us so?

    Press and hold W, mouse forward to tilt forward, explode because they overbuffed tracer darts while not implementing helicopter flares into the PC side.

    Also, helpful hint, press 3 or 4 to use your class gadgets instead of just shooting at people completely ineffectively!

    Do you have to go manually get the patch for box copies? That's the only reason I can figure on not being able to find the dome even after a full server refresh

    No, the launcher thing should get the patches. The dome doesn't come up in search for me either, I had to add it manually via the first post.

    Make sure you're launching the updater and not just the BC2.exe. Installation didn't add a shortcut for me and I used the latter until the first update made me realize my mistake.

    But yeah, apparently the greyed Dome thing is up-to-date wonkiness.

    Your shortcut wasn't the launcher. The launcher checks for updates.

    That ledge has been used by silly geese since release. More power to them, as they make excellent hit-from-anywhere-on-the-map targets. :)

    Yep nice to know i only discovered that today. All patched up though to R10 and whatnot. It was just sort of strange that the shortcut still ran the game (presumably in R7 with all the unupdated servers and people)

    Sorry if this was posted already and I just missed it, but is anyone else getting weird graphical glitches after this patch? I never had trouble with this before, but now my screen starts sporadically flickering black, especially when coming into/out of an animation (reloading, sprinting, etc).
