BFBC 2, battlefield bad company 2 Options

[Zarf]

Do I have to do anything to unlock them, or will it know? I dont seem to be about to activate it anwhere.

Also.

Yes, I know I can't drive. kthx.

Also.

Do you need to get level 1 everything before you can get level 2 something? My unlock scores seem shot to pieces

Under the multiplayer tab on the main screen, there's an option to 'redeem codes'.

unlock scores unlock kit for whatever class you are playing.

heheh nicely anticipated I'm not saying a word!

Had a good time playing with you guys and was good seeing some =THOR= names ingame together for once

I actually started to understand wtf was going on for a bit there rather than just runing round like a headless chicken

We also did pretty well considering for the most part we were outnumbered

As for your question Andy - playing a certain class such as assault will open up the items for that class. Some of them better and some of them not so good. The next weapon on Assault is far better than the first you get.. but then the one after that is not so good..and so on

Always be on the lookout for picking up weapons of dead people on either side.. some of the experienced players carry round some pretty nice kit and you can use it too! I had the good fortune to pick up an m16 (or it could've been an M60 can't remember which) with red dot sight last night and it was waaay better than anything at our level.

I think this is my least favourite part of the game. The fact that at level 0 (or 1 as I am now /flex) level 15 or 20 or whatevers can pretty much snipe me or mash me before I even know they are there.

It's not detracting from the enjoyment though. When I say 'least favourite' it's in perspective, as this is just an awesome game. When it works.

See you on the battlefield soldiers!

[Ogrul]

so does this work now? thinking about getting it, but you lot have put me off with all the problems your getting. i still have issues with punkbuster on COD4.... load of wank.

Depends very much on the class mate.

The original sniper gun is considered by many to be the best in the game. So with some classes there are clear advantagaes and with others not. As far as I can tell being level 20 doesn't give you THAT much of an advantage. Having said that I have nfc what its like being level 20.

What is it about a sniper rifle that turns my aiming into an exercise in inneptitude? It's the same in MW2, put a decent scope (like an acog) on a semi auto rifle like the FAL, and I'm awesomesauce, but give me a bit more zoom and I'm pausing on my shots and putting my shots to the left and right of people and all sorts.
Anyone else find themselves in a similar situation?

Yeah, I know what you mean dude. Trying to lead your shots and stuff.

It worked nearly flawlessly (one crash) from 11pm to 4:30am or so (!) tonight for me

The original sniper gun is considered by many to be the best in the game.

I just unlocked the fifth Sniper gun (GOL Sniper Magnum), and that one does slightly less damage, in turn can fire a lot more often and is slightly more accurate. I'm not sure whether it still kills enemies in two body shots (edit: yes, it does), and I'm not really used to how much its bullets drop yet, but it looks really neat as well. Indeed out of the the intermediate rifles, I've only used the SVU Snaiperska short a bit with red dot sight, but failed at killing stuff with it.

Get more distance I snipe best if I do not have to care whether they're seeing me or not, because I'm so far away they won't notice me anyway (and if they do, won't hit me unless they're snipers as well and know how to handle bullet drop), and when I don't have to move my aim too fast. That's where the long Sniper kill streaks that make the class so tempting are coming from, too

If you see people move back and forth quickly in cover and can't get a good shot in, or see multiple packed enemies, just order mortar fire instead

I have a question of mine as well. It seems that I have the defib unlocked with the medic, but I have not found out how to equip or use it. Anybody can help?

Ask the bastard who ressed me 5 times in a row next to an enemy sniper. Idiot. You cant accept or decline it, you just pop up, unexpectedly, and get killed again. Awesome!

Also, which class is sniper? I like that idea.

Uninstalled it last night, still hadnt gotten a single online game in 3 days of trying.

When you select your kit, the defib is under gadgets. I guess you would press 4 or something to use. Its also a good close combat weapon ^^

Uninstalling it is a bit weird. You should have just waited for a bit until it's fixed. You'll just have to install it again once the server browser is sorted.

Or are you taking a stand and never playing it again.

Did you try the single player mode? Was it any good?

[Rattius]

I pulled a hump.

Turns out I hadn't unlocked it yet after all. Yes, works a treat and just like I thought it would now

ratty goes piracy

[Rattius]

Seriously is there an actual fix for this?

Any help?

I dunno if it works yet, but I think you can see if your friends are playing in servers and you can just click 'join game' and join theirs. If you're having a PB error, just have a look online for fixes. I'll try and find some later for you.

What you're experiencing now is what happened to me when I played Warhammer. I almost smashed my PC up.

[H. Dawg]

I found this possible fix if you're having connection troubles.

Run the game via the updater (C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Battlefield Bad Company 2/BFBC2Updater) and you may be able to join multiplayer games by doing this.

I tested it, and it was the only time I was ever able to join any online games. I hope this helps some of the people having problems.
