You just have to watch where you're going to spawn more than anything. Spawning on a squad mate or not has little bearing, it's what they're doing and where they're doing it.Quote:

Even when spawning in a "safe" place, I find squads useless because a) nobody follows where I go b) Going where most people in my squad go is usually not where I want to go. c) I tend to get killed much faster in squads anyway because my squad members expose me.Quote:

I just stink when in squads/moving together with teammates, do much better just going in on my own...
Ah, no wonder you're not having fun; BFBC2 is extremely team-oriented.Quote:

Also, people are not going to follow you around. No offense, but you're a low level. You should be following more advanced players and supporting them.
Nah I am still having a lot of fun, especially when I get into enemy territory and manage to knock off a few of their guys. I dont know, I just contribute a lot less to my team when hanging out with other teammates and get far more kills and things accomplished going on my own.Quote:

I prefer to rush in, either by flanking them or even a straightforward rush, even if its a suicide run, as long as I manage to cap off at least one of the people on the other side. I've rocketed myself as well previously on purpose just to take someone else out with me.
I just have a completely different playstyle...and I am still having fun. It's when I play by "the rules", hang with a squad, throw ammo/health...thats when I get killed 50 times in a row and have NO fun at all.
Pffffft, "by the rules" INDEED. When me and Astro are together, we're running around guns blazing, blowing up everything and dropping heals and ammo for each other!
Man, you HAVE to drop ammo, throw motion mines, revive people drop health, shoot tracers, and do repairs. Those are the easiest ways to get points in the game. Every time a squad mate heals on your kit or gets ammo from you it's 20 points, it's 10 points for a non-squad member. Every revive is 50 to 80 points, motion mine spot assists are 20 to 30, repairs are 20 to 30. Tracer plants are 30 points plus any damage and destroy bonuses. If you do this stuff you will level up much faster and you will be a much better player.
On another note, Port Valdez on Conquest is badass. Everyone *****es and moans about Atacama Desert and the attack helos. They should quit their *****ing and shoot the things down, it's massive points. I'm sure that they will whine just the same about Port Valdez but I love it. The firefights around Bravo get very heated.
I just played a round of conquest on the tank heavy map (can't remember the name)
Needless to say I rock with tanks 25 to 2 K:D my team pwned the other team it was great
The problem with doing repairs is that a lot of drivers are complete idiots.
You get a tank in a shoot out and you are repairing him. Instead of covering you while you repair him, as soon as you start fixing him, he rushes off somewhere leaving you exposed...and him not fully repaired. Stay near me when I'm repairing you, you dumb idiot.
Or on hardcore they love to run you over while you repair them.
Problem is, even if you are repairing your little heart out, you aren't going to outrepair constant damage from multiple opponents. Therefore, it's not always smart to just sit there because you're being repaired, but rather it's better to get out of the line of fire.Quote:

Lol, there's been plenty of times where I've confused somebody repairing a tank with somebody sabotaging it with the repair tool. Once I discover it's an enemy though, they are swiftly met with the Knife of Justice (to the throat).Quote:

Lol yeah you can definitely tell the difference between a BF2 player playing bad company and a CoD player. The BF2 player will get to cover and the CoD player runs offQuote:

Yup COD players believe that bullets are instant and never drop.
I don't think there is nearly enough bullet drop in BC2. For some reason I remember there being a lot more bullet drop in BF2. If you're going to have bullet drop at all and sights with Mil Dots, the bullet should drop 1 dot every 100m or so. Also if you're going to have it, all sights except maybe reflex sights should have adjustments for distance.
Agreed, I can't get used to the minimal bullet drop in BC2 after playing so much BF2.Quote:

The biggest complain that the guy had was that "bullets dropping" is not realistic. I suggested that we should listen to him because obviously he knows what he is talking about since he probably served in the military, to which he responded by saying that he fired a real gun and that bullets do not drop in real life.Quote:

It probably has a lot to do with why I'm not too good with the bolt-action snipers. I can't accurately gauge bullet drop at long distances. Using the M24 I should be able to shoot at 100, 200, even 300m with the mil-dots, but they don't seem to correspond to anything.Quote:
