Nope had some free times on my hands, altough my kill to death ratio is not that great I know how to run points up in this game.
I totally love it, lets get together for some sharky squad action.

next time we have 4 peeps on i want to play some squad deathmatch. First squad to 50 kills wins..and it's hard with just pugs.
I am SO down for that. PUGs are terrible for TDM because if they decide to leave your squad before the match ends, you're done.Quote:

Add Learux to your friend list.
I was pretty much gone the entire weekend, so there was no BC2 action for me. I'll probably be playing tonight. Name is PointlesS76.
I was getting pretty whiney and frustrated on Saturday night when we were playing on a full server and my FPS was unacceptably bad. I ended up logging out, dropping all my settings to Medium, dropped the rez to 720p and suddenly my K/D ratios were in the positive! I'm going to be running like this now until I can upgrade my rig. It is sad to think that my Q6600 is not beefy enough to run it at full details.
This is not a game where you can be tired. It is so intense and requires a continous scan.
When I play tired I start performing lousy from the start.
Every other game I ever played I could play and drink a few beers. Not this one. Three plus beers and performance suffers.
I still love it, lately I have noticed that when I use the four times optical scope, the baseless red aiming triangle has a vague red circle around it, has anyone else seen this?
Lets get together guys
New patch today (And other information):
http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/batt...2-q-amp-a.aspx
This basically fixes the click join and nothing happens problem. Which I run into like 95% of the time.
Also for those who haven't bought it, Amazon is having a sale for $37 for the PC version and $47 for the console versions: http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.htm...cId=1000208101
As slow as I am leveling, I don't know how some of these people do it. I just hit level 8 I think and I have played every day. I just can't seem to rack up the points.
Playing as a team is key to maximum pointage. Support your squad, stay close to your squadmates, use your class abilities (ammo drop, heal, rez, spot, repair), use and obey squad orders.Quote:

Huh? If you're playing in a PUG teamwork should be enforced...
I just find PUGs tend to go squad and then just go their own way in game. Only in Squad Deathmatch do I see groups stick and work together.
I played for about three days and I'm level 7. The best way to level is to not focus on kills but to capture control points, resupply/heal/repair a lot, and blow up MCom stations. Also taking out vehicles gives you a big points dump. Sometimes you get lucky and take out the driver who is trying to repair it and get 150+ points in one shot.
Also picking the right weapons for the right map is very important. I love the Saiga-20, but I really don't use it on Atacama Desert. I think I'm not starting to get some really good unlocks, I think my kill count is going to start rising much faster than it has.
Still, focus on objectives, taking out vehicles, and always help your team with your class' ability.
I don't think the Q6600 is the problem, it has to be something else. I have a HTPC with a Q6600 @2.7ghz + 4GB RAM + HD3870 X2 Cat10.2 + 64bit Win7 HP and I can max out all setting, 2xAA + HBAO enabled @1360x768, runs between 45fps to >60fps (in SP mode). What vid card do you have? Is your Q6600 at default speed?Quote:

Well see, my problem is I'm trying to run it at 1920x1080. I tried raising some of the settings after dropping the rez to 1280x720 and I still get pretty good FPS. It is also worth noting that single player runs better than mp for me.Quote:

This is even though their vid cards seem more than capable enough, turns out their CPUs is holding them back, not the GPU. BC2 runs better on quads than dualies (unless you OC the heck outta the dualie) since some work, including sound from what I've gathered, is offloaded to the CPU. In your case, your CPU should be able to handle these additional work easily, so I believe the GPU may be the limiting factor.
With my HTPC, my Q6600 handles it easily enough, if I were to stick a 5870 in it, I'm pretty sure I can do BC2 @1080P full bore.....well, perhaps at 2xMSAA, 4xMSAA tops.
I have a Q6600/GTX 275 and don't have any problems at 1920x1200 with 2xAA/4xAF.
