Re: Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Demo 360

It wouldn't be that bad if the gunners couldn't knock out walls and every single person's choice of vehicle upgrade didn't apply to the vehicle.

I wondered about that. Seems like the vehicle upgrades would only effect the driver. *They should've made an upgrade that made the chopper easier to fly .

1943 had planes though which I didn't have too much problem flying except them being unbalanced. American planes felt heavier and sluggish, but had slightly stronger weaponry. The Japanese had nimble planes that flew gracefully but had slightly weaker weaponry (I used to love being on the Japanese side lol). Be nice if the levels in BC2 were large enough to put in jets .

I still have yet to do my trademark ATV C4 or Hummer C4 ram into a truck. It'd be nice if you could block teammates from spawning on you at times like that because I'd undoubtedly get a team kill LOL.

Network went down yesterday for about an hour, but at least it wasn't the whole day like any other time lol.

I think it was the level with the lighthouse, but that level had alot of epic shade and foliage in it. I was hiding in one spot as a medic on defense and was just taking everybody out that ran up the hill. Playing that same level on offense, I knew I saw some guy run into the shaded wall that looks like a bunch of trees, but it was so dark there that I couldn't see him. I had to wait until he started shooting to see his muzzleflash before I could make a run at him.

I also really liked the winter area in conquest, now that was a cool level.

UAV in conquest is usually right out in a area where you will likely be sniped lol.

Be nice if they would've had camo for the areas you were in, especially for the snipers. An arctic sniper on the winter level would be hard to see.

I've been playing on Hardcore mode today, and it's nice to be an engineer and not have to rely on five other engineers to take down an enemy vehicle. The only problem is Recon is completely overpowered. Every few minutes they can call in a mortar strike, and I've seen two level an M-COMM building, though it mostly takes more than three. It isn't fair that they can not only kill anybody in one hit, but also destroy objectives without being anywhere near them. It really frees up their other forces to directly combat ours instead of battling for an objective. Whenever there's an objective you have to manually arm you'll see pretty much anybody who isn't playing Recon show up to help secure it. It really throws the balance off. Since you can't spot in Hardcore, it's that much easier to snipe, and they also have a pseudo-night vision through their scopes.

Most of the maps are unusually dark. In the jungle you've got "shade" that's pitch black, which isn't anywhere near realistic. I can understand why they might use artificial shadowing in a game like Splinter Cell, but this is Battlefield.

They changed marksman head-shots to a distance thing. I got an additional 162 points from a super long distance head-shot. Very nice.

Yesterday was just the first day, so I'm sure everybody has the mortar strike ability by now.

I still say taking out Specialist was the main unbalance of the game since that caused its powers to be divided up by the remaining 4 classes. Then they had to take the leftover powers and reorganize them as well.

They might as well had made the game without classes and just let you pick and choose what weapons you want on your guy. Which possibly could've made the game just as unbalanced.

Still too many points away from the NS2000 to count

Trying to get the family together to watch a movie tonight, so while they're watching 2012, I'm going to slide over to my computer monitor and play BC2 lol.

Yeah and the shadows are complete black, man that is dark! I almost adjusted my TV but that probably wouldn't have helped too much.

Re: Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Demo 360

The NS2000 fires too quickly for me. It's super deadly up close, but at a distance you'll run out of ammo before you can get the kill even if you're firing in bursts. The red dot sight is super helpful, though, because it gives you a little more room that would normally be beneath the iron sight.

True, it makes it slightly easier for me to spot too. I just unlocked the red dot for the engineer and played a few rounds with it. I actually got a few Medium-Long distance kills that I definently wouldn't have gotten with the ironsight.

I also just noticed that you can hit the back button on team members to call them over if they have something they can give you.

How do the medkits work in this game? In BF1 you could run over them and heal instantaneously, but in this game it seems like you have to wait a few seconds after doing it for it to kick in. Maybe they put a delay on it and made it more gradual I guess?

Hah, I finally saw a demolition 2.0 that didn't involve a tank running into the building. Only reason I really noticed it was because I was in the building and my teammate finished blowing one of the leftover walls out so I was TK'd by it. I got a good laugh out of it though.

Last night I played for a little while on my PC monitor since somebody was using my television. I would've done much better if I remembered I had azureus running on one of my computers which was causing me to lag terribly.

Re: Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Demo 360

I'm still split about normal and hardcore mode. On normal it takes a team of engineers to take down a vehicle, but on hardcore you get sniped a million times. Isn't there a perk to make my explosives stronger?

I think there is.

I got massive points a couple of times for taking out tanks with landmines. Eventually they got smart and stopped driving right through the city lol.
