Little bit of a Controversial Subject - BC2 Options

[HYPOBOXER]

Right time to annoy the fanboys on here, but I have to say...BC2 is a bit crap!

I understand all the nostalgia associated with the old Battlefield 2 days but BC2 comes nowhere near. Its buggy, unbalanced, a massive system hog full of cheating bastards (how exactly does someone get to lvl33 in the few weeks its been available). The M60 is overpowered and far to accurate which means that everyone uses it. You ironsite someone from 4 feet away using the decent assualt rifles and constantly miss (and no its not a lag issue thats sorted), the knife should be removed as its about as consistant as sunshine in Scotland. And the maps are dull as fuck. At least the BF2 maps had some scale. There are no tactics involved. Run here, run here run here. Fuck all teamwork as well.

Oh yeah and where is the fun factor. It actually made me do something that I can proudly say I have never done before. Ragequit. Played with Fox, Magiks and the R6 lot last night and it was fuckin awful. Spawn, M60 death, spawn M60 death, spawn M60 death, knife death, M60 death. Theres absolutely no chance of leveling up characters like the medic at the moment because you cant stay alive long enough to actually get any points. And Im pretty sure opening fire on someone 10 feet away with a pkm should pretty much kill them straight away.

Ill keep playing it for now as there is bugger all else about. If they actually balance the game it might get interesting but as soon as something more interesting arrives its purely to kill time.

Thing I dont get is all the hate that most people here poured onto L4D2 for not being original enough, then they constantly spodge all over this when is just a consolised version of BF2. Wow you can blow up buildings which is great until everyone bitches about Rush games being screwed because of this exact issue. Take that gimmick away and you are left with an average game that brings absolutely nothing new to the table.

And its doing absolutely nothing for this clan except a small minority. Half cant even run it without a major upgrade. And those that are playing it dont seem to stay in games long enough as there is always some reason to complain and leave.

Phew that feels better.

Hmmm a well thought out post there H

and i have to agree with a lot of what you have said, but i think your major gripes are with the balance issues and not the game itself (i'll go over the horribly high needed specs for this game later)

Yes the M60 his OP infact there are prob about 10+ threads on the EA forums stating that exact fact, and tbh a lot of the guns are unbalanced, maybe thats the problem with trying to model guns accurately (tbh i have no idea of real guns) a better gun is simply that A better Gun!

so everyone runs around with the m60 if your a medic, a m16 if ur assault (not that you ever shoot with it due to the one hit killing power of the GL and so on for each class

if you do want to level up your medic class then, here are some tips till you attain the golden grail that is the m60
stay close to your squad(or rather make sure your squad sticks together somewhat) focus your medic abilities to healing and reviving while offering light support from your T88 (its prob the second best medigun and very useful if used properly)

Always think Cover!!!! try to reduce your time spent out in the open, find cover check the coast is clear, then move and never in a straight line to your objective, always zig zag cover to cover so you dont become predictable

System Req's for this game are horrible....End of!!! i'm on a c2d 3.00 + 4gig ram and a 4890 and tbh its fucking shite....... SP is awesome i can run it at 1900-1200 with all high and still get 30fps

i play multi on 1200-800 everything LOW and can only get about 30fps if i'm on a server with less than 20players max, i just read somewhere that basically i need a Quad for this game as thats the recommended requirements............ffs

but all that said and done i find it very rewarding it's gr8 when the squad works for each other, people remembering to switch kits and dance about the field capping points, i just wish EA would sort out a lot of the niggles like slow loading times , maybe optimise the code so my c2d can run the game properly on a 32 man server, and maybe nerf a few of the guns so everyone might run around without the usual suspects m60/m16/1911
