Love the patch, it made the game feel so much better. Waiting for 10.4 to come out. So the loading times are fixed.
I am pretty new with ATI drivers(last time was a 9800 pro) Do you guys uninstall the whole CCC or just the display driver and install driver only?
Yeah, I was almost always one of the first ones to spawn in a new round, and it felt a bit unfair to be honest. I have a good, but not stunning system. I think they narrowed the problem down to ATI users having excessive load times which is supposed to be fixed soon.Quote:

It was dx 11 that caused the excessive load times, 470 and 480 suffer from it as well.Quote:

Wow, I got this game and pretty disappointed so far, especially since I paid $50 for it. Pretty much a camping paradise from what I have played so far, very few people actually run around and fight, mostly guys hiding out in spots in sniping...
Just because you suck at it doesn't mean it's not a good game. You're pretty much dogmeat playing assault with the stock weapons as an experienced player, let alone a noob. Play as a medic or engineer.
The snipers don't bother me at all. Unless you're doing something really stupid, like standing still for a long period of time or exposing against the sky (on the top of a beached ship in Atacama is a good example of what not to do) then you're at little risk of being sniped. At least compared to being gunned down by someone with an optically enhanced AN-94 or M60.
The only complaint I have about the game is that the M14 is nearly useless and I don't like the sight picture on the G3. One shot with the M14 and a target is completely out of your iron sights. The M14 should be able to mount both the reflex sight and the ACOG. The G3 should be able to mount the reflex sight only. I also think that shotguns should be able to mount reflex sights, it would make slugs a lot more effective. I don't know if it'd work though, slugs and red dot sights are in the same category of add-ons.
I also wish that you could carry a mix of 40mm grenades and 40mm shotgun shells. You can't have everything. As of late I've taken a new liking to the MG36 and I've been using the M60 at lot less. I figured they'd nerf it before too long so I decided I'd have to get good with another machine gun. I really like the MG36 because you can still have a reflex sight, carry extra grenades or a uprated medical kit, and use magnum ammo to up your lethality. The thing is dead on accurate with low recoil, you can walk your fire (albeit less powerful fire) onto a target very easily with the MG36.
Some maps ( all on conquest cept White Pass ) are camper fests, try playing Rush. If you are stay off of Port Valdez and Isla, I find they have the most campers. But overall I find they are not an issue, Mortars + explosive dmg are, snipers are not. If they want to hang back and be worthless then go for it. I very rarely get hit by a sniper, It is just too easy to stay hidden behind cover even when moving up. This is also from a 360 pov, We don't have the patch yet.Quote:

I find it the exact opposite in terms of rush/conquest. I tend to run around a lot in conquest and I never really had a problem with campers. With rush I feel like you have to be a lot slower (If you're attacking) and slowly work your way up. I'm playing the PC version though so maybe there's just a difference in how people play. Also I find rush is much better with 16-24 players. Feels way too spammy with 32.Quote:

Here's how my game round usually goes.
*spawn*
*make way towards objective (note, usually there are no teammates around me)
*Suddenly, POW. Didnt even see where or who shot me.
*Replay shows player who shot me and its a guy in the recon skin.
*rinse and repeat.
I like the game from a aesthetic standpoint, but gameplay wise its just so hard to play as a run and gun type of player. Also its REALLY annoys me that in a modern game thats been patched multiple times, they still cant fix the bug where the Enter key is unbindable. Thats been my "sprint" key in pretty much every game that has a sprint function. I adjusted to use the 0 key on the numberpad, but that used to be my grenade key, so I guess that makes it a disadvantage too.
Mind boggling how they cant fix such a simple bug...
But oh well, I guess I need more practice. I didnt like Rush from what I played in it, pretty much get obliterated in spawn all the time...
I don't have that problem
I use cover, I try and create distractions, I watch my radar.
Example lets say i'm running towards Obj A as Assault, I might very well launch a 40M into the building that houses obj B so recon guy who sees this focuses on Obj B as I rush into Obj A.
BTW, if anybody wants to add me, my nick is Anaconda2.
I is lonely.
K thx, bai.
I sent a bunch of requests around but no one answered them except Pointless. Does anyone know if PC players can get the SPECACT stuff? I'm not too big on it, but it does offer four more awards to get (5000 points each) and you need everything you can get when you're getting up in the ranks.
My gaming time has been extremely limited so I haven't been on since the last patch.
With UFC 2010 coming out next week I don't know how much I will be playing either.
I have been absorbed with Dragon Age..so not much bc2 time. Plus, my son bought the bf1942 complete pack and he and I have been having a ball with that. What a greAt game that was and still is. I am amazed there are still servers up for it.
Don't know if you sent one to me or not. On PC I'm Tugg Speedmann. Friends list doesnt really work well for me I can never check if my friends are on. SPECTACT Has not come out for PC yet but I think it's supposed to with awards.Quote:

Picked up the game for $25 at Fry's a week or so ago, but I think I'm going to keep pushing down the rest of my backlog and not fire this up until I get a new computer. Hopefully you guys will still be playing then. :D
That is a good plan, it deserves good hardware. I think I'll play till bf3 comes out.
It is time for new maps.
Tried finishing off the campaign today but it says I haven't even played it yet. Awesome.
I'm just not crazy about multiplayer gameplay. I enjoyed the single player campaign a lot , but for some reason, multiplayer seems boring to me.
It seems to take FOREVER to get access to better guns. I spawn and usually get shot pretty fast....it's just too frustrating.
I'm getting a new vid card ( DX11 ) this week, and want to see if it really makes any diff or not...I'll play me some more BF2 then.
If you are a reasonable shot at BF2, BC should give you no problems.
It took me a while to get adjusted, usually I run and gun and go for objectives Rambo style,
Doing that you obviously die a lot, if I play smart and stealthy I stay alive a lot longer.
What card yhou getting, I suggest 5800 series, they play the game great full eyecandy up to 1900.1080
I went with a 470 GTX. I know ATI cards outperform Nvidia , but I still cant go there.
I've been burned by unstable ATI drivers before, and swore I would never buy anything from ATI again.
Nvidia drivers have always been superior.
I have had good luck with both of them, I go with best bang for the buck.
Enjoy the card.
