I would just like to share this for whoever lags alot or ruberbands
1.) Go to http://profile.ea.com
2.) Once there, log in.
3.) Once you log in, you will be redirected into the EA Account Manager page.
4.) Under "My Info" You have the option to Update My info.
5.) Click to update your info.
6.) Once you click that, On the country selection, select "United Kingdom" As your country.
7.) Then click save and proceed out of the page.
8.) Now restart your XBOX360 Or PS3 Console.
9.) When you start it back up, you should be connected to European servers, instead or US servers, or wherever you where connected to before.
10.) This should help with latency issue's if you experienced any of them before.
After you've tried playing on the European servers, if you notice a better online experience be sure to tell Dice about it in the Console Lag thread on the EA UK forums. They will be monitoring it for feedback.

If this was a few months ago, I would straight up insult you for down playing BFBC2s greatness lol.

my only problem is that because UK players are ahead in time then us, there wont be as much players there would be when I usually play but hopefully if enough players from US come to UK servers it would balance things out a bit.you know what Kimbo.....

But since they added that last patch, every game ive had, has had a glitch, or just LAG through out.

This is true. Since the last patch, ive experienced alot of lag compared to the ZERO lag it had before. :(1. The campaign was awful. It was filled with so many cliches (explosive barrels placed everywhere, etc), plot holes and mindless shooting galleries. I couldnt even believe how Dice could have let this happen.Forgettable characters, forgettable missions, forgettable scenarios...forgettable game. Lets not even touch on how pretty much all the buildings were COPIED AND PASTED.Lol are you kidding? Only like four types of buildings? MOST OF WHICH WERE PLUCKED OUT OF THE FIRST BAD COMPANY? Wow...just wow.
2. EA's servers are god awful. Constant "rubber banding" occurs (this is when you take a few steps forward and slowly slide back or teleportto where you were originally, VERY FRUSTRATING and I have a 54mbs connection) ontop of the fact that your bullets only register half the time. Use a shotgun and you'll see what I'm talking about. You'll shoot someone in the back pointblack and it wont register at all.
3. If you plan on having fun in the low levels, then forget it. The last thing I'd call this game is an even playing field. I find it disturbing how people cry about Modern Warfare 2 being an uneven playing field while pardoning Bad Company 2 when itis the exact same thing. There are perks just like in CoD (Magnum ammunition = Stopping Power, Ceramnic Armor = Juggernaught, Explosives Package = Danger Close, etc) and unlike CoD, new players are COMPLETLEY SCREWED. All you'll be doing in the low levels is dying, dying and dying. Even if you're skills are actually pretty decent, you'll still be getting screwed over all the time. The starting weapons are COMPLETELY USELESS, except for the M24 for the Recon class.
4. Sluggish controls on the console version, the maximum sensitivity is low, assumablybecause Dice doesnt want you to witness this game's terrible frame rate.
5. Clear inbalanaces. So let me get this right, there is absolutely NOTHING overpowered about having tanks that can fire their TWO-shot-to-kill turretsINCESSANTLY with PERFECT accuracy ACROSS the map? Just destroy it? It takes about four rockets to bring down a tank (the engineer class is useless). Use teamwork? Well 75% of the people on your team will either be snipers or medics...what happens once you destroy it? It respawns four seconds later...
6. Oh and like in Call of Duty, this game has a magical knife that allows the user to lunge half a mile through whizzing shrapnel, stab somebody in the leg and kill them, all while getting shot at by 5x56 NATO rounds.
7. Shotguns are more effective then snipers. Putting slugs on a pump action shotguns allows the user to ONE HIT KILL people from ACROSS the map since the slugs are somehow not affected by gravity like all the other weapons. Dont believe me?
- Choose the medic class so you can heal yourself (assault works too to refill ammo)
- Pick a pump action shotgun as your primary
- Use the slugs "perk"
- ???
- PROFIT!
8.Just like in CoD the game features INSANE spawn camping. Look at Laguna Alta for example. You can go into thebases of the opposite team and just mess everyone up who spawns. Just park yourBradley APC outside and PROFIT because guess what? There's only onetiny narrow exit out of each base so if you're that unlucky guy that just got tossed into a game where the other team has capped all the flags, you're pretty much screwed. Wow Dice just wow. Another EXCELLENT design choice.
9. The game store allows you to purchaseDLC ALREADY ON THE MOTHER FLUPPING DISC. Nuff said
10. Team work in this game is an ILLUSION. I have no idea what you fanboys aresmoking. Watch carefuly. Watch as that Recon sits there in that bush refusing to disarm the bomb, despite the fact that he's two meters away from it. Watch carefuly as the medic refuses to heal you and insists on spamming his machine gun. Watch carefuly as despite being in the same squad and having the same objective, the two idiots who spawn on you run in the opposite direction, towards the tank so they can spawn trap and butt rape the other team to increase their K/Ds, instead of arming the damn bomb.
11. Pretty much everyone plays as the Medic class...or Recon. Why wouldnt they? As a Medic you'll have a gun that does high damage, fires with 0 recoil and comes equiped a never ending 100-200 round magazine. Oh and did I mention you'll have the ability to heal yourself and torture your team-mates by reviving theminfront of the tank that just blew them to smitherins and thus forcing them to die again 2 seconds later?
12. No lean, no prone and no selective fire. On the PC version, you have to HOLDcntrl to stay crouched. WTF?
13. Only around three new weapons were introduced (GK, m93r, An94 Abakan)...and no, the M1 Garand and Thompson dont count because they were just copied and pasted from BF1943.
14. There's nothing to do once you hit level 22. Our criticism for Bad Company was that they should have increased the rank cap (it was 25 I think). So what did Dice do? They increased it alright...BUT NOW THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO INCENTIVE TO RANK UP BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING TO BLOODY UNLOCK FROM 22-50.
Any "lol u jus angry cos u suck" comments will be shrugged off. My K/D is 1.4 thank you very much. Not the best, but its better then at least halfof the people who play this game:D
Kimbo_Slyce
1.But i liked Flynn...Singlehandedly the most awesome characther ever...
2. I agree with you there...Sometimes i cant log in to EA servers...But then my internet is 3mbps and i live in the philippines so internet here is really bad.
3. I dont see how its hard to play in low-levels when most of the guns in the low-levels are still used. Look at the XM8 everyone uses it...I dont use it because for me , as long as the gun kills people im ok. I use the AUG because it looks pretty.
4. Thats your opinion but im used to high and low sensitivity (pro at Killzone2)
5. So tanks should take more than 3 shots to kill people :roll: i mean Tanks in reality should kill you in a single blow , in fact rip you to a billion pieces. Why not just use an RPG to kill people then?Accuracy depends on the driver of the tank. (The game has gravity if you noticed). Engineer is far from useless...Its just you suck at it (no offense :)) 4 rpg's?! are you sure? try hitting the back. It does 75 damage to a tank...Teamwork depends on the people you play with and plus...do you really need to tell a guy to kill the tank thats killing your team? seriously... and no most of my teammates are all theclases but then i play on ps3 soo....:D
6. I dont experience that... I wish i could...
(i would continue but i have to go...)
Does anyone know if you can now invite friends to your squad? The option always "failed to connect" or something when I played Battlefield: Bad Company. It was worth a trophy and would have been a lot of fun to play with friends.
but that problem happens a lot to me and im in america. :(I would just like to share this for whoever lags alot or ruberbands

What?
Wow, TC massively owned everyone.
People are just making up **** that TC has already covered.
Wanted to get BC2.. but unless this crap is fixed... I never will.
Wow, I must be playing a different game because I have none of the problems TC is facing and have over 100 hours on the clock.I was turned off by the destructible environment (static basedobjectives + TDE = fail), lack of prone(could have added another dimension to the game), and EA's server(terrible), if that counts. Do I get a reward?
Lack of prone is a conscious decision. Consolites exploit the hell out of jump/prone and ruin the hitbox for every shooter out there.I was turned off by the destructible environment (static basedobjectives + TDE = fail), lack of prone(could have added another dimension to the game), and EA's server(terrible), if that counts.

There's also the resolution issue. Since Bad Company 2 is a much larger scale game than, say, Modern Warfare 2, actually seeing the players at distance (at a 720p res) is important.
