I wonder if the conosle version of BC2 has the medic in it, you know, that guy who has to heal others.

Lto_thaG

It does. But the people that use it dont revive dead teammates right next to them. They're in it for teh kills

Same thing for Enemy Territory.Rambo medics suck.

i remember when BC2 released people would be in-game asking "where is the heavy weapon's class?"

With the terrible squad chat system the lack of mics, party chat, and no way to write to eachother was this actually a surprise? If they add the old Q system from BF2 it would be perfect.

Can't say I'm surprised. The PC version has more players per round, which would increase the numbers quicker regardless of community.

I play mostly on the PS3, 360 with friends occasionally, and there's team work. Less of it, I guess, but my experience with the game on the PC was a bad one. The few lobbies I got into had over eager medics that couldn't learn there are times you shouldn't revive someone. It was so infuriating that I just left and played Team Fortress 2.

You don't need a mic to figure out if a teammate needs health or ammo.

If someone behind me needs ammo, but cant say so, how would i know, should i turn my back round to give him ammo without getting killed.

Perhaps they shouldn't be behind you.

Or you could just throw down your ammo supply in a close/safe spot, so then they wouldn't HAVE to ask for it, just go to it.

both the consoles have more hours put into bc2 than PC. How does that factor into your poorly thought out argument, and im not exactly sure how you came up with it in the first place?

Could it have been a case of less people focused on this goal that you are making out to be something that every single player should have flocked to?

That "goal" was revealed just a few days ago iirc.

So no, considering BFBC2 focuses a lot on teamwork, it's just people playing the wrong way ;)

Isn't that stat for all time, not since the december 22? Where are you getting these stats becasue the one on the BC2 website is for all-time, I think.

Or maybe not nearly as many people bought the expansion on each console as on PC? I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case.

Desperate? Elites? Its a well known fact that:

PC > Consoles

No desperation needed;)

I have a pc but you do not see me trying posting everywhere about how great it is. It is so awsome it hasn't had a game of the year on gamespot since 2006. But I will play a long, I will start bowing now just to make you feel better.

Yes, i guess all the chart music is better than rock bands too because its more popular?

If the challenge was revealed just a few days ago it means noone was "trying to accomplish the requirements" for it before.

Explain these conditions, genius. It's not irrelevant :|

yeah I know but I doubt there any more popular than the ones I named. Think on the PC counter strike 1.6 is still the most popular one. BF is is usually more popular on the PC anyways.

Nothing wrong with bragging, but the complaining on the official forum is hilarious. It's like people can't be happy unless the console gamers get nothing. One guy even complained that PC gamers were raped. LOL.

Sadly this is mostly true.

I'm always a medic to revive people. :) This is my big objective when i play.

Same here. I'm not for teh kills, I might be for teh points but atleast I'm helping my teammates and squadmates and reviving everyone I see, even if it means dying.

It has nothing to do with the game being mainstream, and everything in the fact that it's hard to argue for/against a game hardly anyone has played.

I could say Faxanadu is the best Action/RPG game ever made, but it'd be hard to prove it if I'm the only one in the discussion who's ever played the game.

Console gamers generally jump from one big game to the next. They moved to Red Dead, to Reach to Black Ops. It also doesn't help that the procey expansion got little exposure while Halo and Call of Duty were having it out. I think among my friends on live maybe around half of them have Bad Company 2 and of all of them only one or two have purchased the dlc.

Im not going to throw around ammo for the sake of doing so, you honestly dont see a problem when someone cant ask for ammo in the first place? Its like playing a soccer game with people just standing there expecting to get the ball, instead of asking for it and making you show yourself. Lack of communication=lack of teamwork, this is dice fault, if they included the system they had for 2152 and bf2 pressing q and asking for this and that, it would be alot easier. Instead of seeing some dude walk up to you and shoot you in the face to make it obvious that they need ammo,

Kind of difficult when you cant communicate on consoles properly, this is not console gamers fault, its dice fault.
