[QUOTE="mitu123"] Why hasn't it came yet, WTF?:lol:

Well it did, but we were promised another a while back and we're still waiting on it! :lol:

I see, well, this patch will make most of the guns weaker though.

Well, balances more like. The least popular guns get a boost.

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.

Easyle

Well, I agree with some of the things he said, but most aren't 100% true:

1. Campaign is subjective, but most don't like it.

2. Yes, it does happen, but not all the time, just some times, I hardly lag in many matches too.

3. I don't agree with that, even the PKM(Medic's 1st gun) is very effective and I'm getting a lot of kills with it recently.

4. I never had a problem with the controls, not once.

5. Engineer is the most important class when using vehicles, and it takes 3 rockets for me. The accuracy isn't perfect on tanks, the blast from them do drop from far range.

6. Lunge half a mile, now that's made up, the knife doesn't go that far and you can't always knife people that shoot you, I tried it too.

7. Shotguns don't go across the map, maybe like 20 feet with slugs, but across the map as in very far? Please, plus I like using sniper rifles more.

8. I agree with this, I've seen it.

9. No comment.

10. That's community based, yes, there will be people like that, but to win they have to work as a team, I blame the teammates, it's not the game's fault, it's certain people. I've been on great teams of course.

11. I've seen tons of Assaults and Engineers from what I played and not as many Medics.

12. Yeah, that sucks.

13. Oh well, beats nothing.

14. Oh well, you can still have fun with it.

So no, I didn't get owned.

[QUOTE="Easyle"]

[QUOTE="Hahadouken"] Lack of prone is a conscious decision. Consolites exploit the hell out of jump/prone and ruin the hitbox for every shooter out there.tomarlyn

Yes, because using a bodily function is "cheating" :roll:

Stops people camping the whole game. How many FPS's even have prone anyway?

As long as concealing oneself is an element ofsaid game, camping will exist no matter the degree which is a pointless condition since it all depends on the player anyway. You can standor crouch and camp, auto lean or cover and still camp for as long as you want. I don't know what issue anyone would have with giving the player the ability to prone.

But prone makes it a lot easier to camp because you're harder to see and shoot at. The death and destruction constantly raining down upon you in BC2 makes movement your best friend.

I will agree that it has been laggy as hell on XBL lately, but not on PSN so I doubt it's the EA servers, maybe an overload of people playing it on XBox vs PS3 or something. Hahadouken

It's laggy on both consoles, just read the BF forums to get an idea of how many people are experiencing the problem. It would be better if at least one console wasn't experiencing it, as they could maybe get an idea as to what is causing it. As it is, they have no clue (more than likely).

It appears to require extreme luck to not get lag that makes the game unplayable rather than an extreme lack of luck to do so.

Additionally, they keep patching the game based off feedback from a community that has no idea if it's lag or the thing they are complaining about that is causing the problem.

It's been disgustingly laggy for me since about 2-3 weeks after launch. I can't be sure as I didn't get to play it much during that time due to school.

Dedicated servers are only as good as the bandwidth dedicated to the servers. That's what sucks about p2p, most people don't have enough bandwidth to cover all the players and action. It's like the BC2 servers are some kind of low grade DSL bandwidth or something, and in Antarctica.

Definition of contradiction= conflict or inconsistency, as between events, qualities, etc

Example: 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.

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?

I think my biggest gripe with BC2 is that EA decided that it would be a good idea to make dice work on Medal Of Generic, and take any chance of getting real map pack away. At least the patch support is good for consoles. Just wish there was more content.

What's this for? Are you an American playing on European servers? If so, wouldn't American servers be faster? Or are you a European playing on American servers? If so, the time difference shouldn't be that bad.

common sense would say yes. but no, the american servers are fried. rubberbanding, lagging, and all sorts of connection based problems plague it. every game was virtually unplayable as killing people was basically luck. I actually went to complain on the EA forums, but they already had a topic on the issues telling us to switch to UK servers.

Won't all these American players coming to European servers overload European servers or something of the sort?

I'm more of an UMP45 guy beacuse it's far more potent at longer ranges than all the other SMGs. The TC's points are all pretty damn valid, if a little too exaggerated.

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.

Wow, I have never played it so how am I supposed to know?

Then it's incredibly silly of you to think that the TC 'owned' anyone if you haven't played the game. :lol:

It is a good arcade militarymacho-manshooter. What I do like is that it doesn't take itself nearly as seriously as Call of Duty does... saying that the singleplayer is rather mediocre from what I played, which is a shame considering the potential. However I didn't get terribly far in it. Otherwise online has its quirks and issues, but for most of the part it is damn good, easily the strength of the game; it is very well done. I had much enjoyment playing it online (be it serious play for messing about with exploits - e.g. C4 charges and quad bikes), however over time it does burn out, compared to the scope and depth of earlier Battlefield games. Best thing ever? Hell no. That bad? Hell no. In short, you're exaggerating.

Only major complaint I have about it is the hit detection which DICE somehow borked in their first patch. Knife doesn't work half the time and sometimes your gun seems to shoot blanks. Other than that it's awesome. I've been playing BF games for a loooong time now and honestly I don't miss prone that much and perks don't really effect the game that much unless your actually charging right at them which is just dumb.
