Battlefield Bad Company 2

Another tactic is to load a jeep up with c4 and drive it into a base

[Dazzyman]

Dont like the heli flying yet its too clunky. You can take one down easily as well if you know what your doing. Popped a few as engineer )

Smooth as butter on PS3 not seen any lag yet.

New maps coming on the 30th. For free.

Very cheeky of them

VIP members will be able to expand on the deep and ever changing sandbox experience, which in itself provides near endless hours of entertainment, by having new content to keep things fresh. It also plays a vital part in making sure you, the players get proper value for the money you've invested in Battlefield: Bad Company 2. This is why these map packs are available at no extra cost, contradicting the industry standard and what our direct competitors are doing. Of course, it also helps avoid segmenting the community, making sure everyone can play together having the same maps available. There will be future paid downloadable content as well but these packs will focus on expanding other parts of the game experience rather than the selection of maps available for the basic game modes. We're dedicated to taking care of this product for a long time – helping you avoid "mapathy" without getting nickel-and-dimed.

Nice, almost feels like the Burnout DLC approach which worked brill.. well as long as they fix the in game store

[PeteJ]

Sweet! Do I already have the first DLC pack? I don't remember downloading anything when I entered in the VIP code.

It's quite funny you can crash into the ground pretty hard without damaging the helicopter

That's probably because if you even looked at a tree in Bad Company, the helicopter would explode.

*Sigh* Just had a run of games where I could count on 1 hand the amount of players not either sniping or spamming vehicles. When I think of the game it's great but in practice it's ruined. I'm tempted to trade it for GOW3 and get it back maybe at a later date when only the proper players remain

[BaronSqwelch]

finally got a decent squad together with a decent mix of styles....1 of each class with me as the medic. got the top four places 3 games in a row before lag reared its ugly head. rifle scope on the lmg really helps with spotting too. I got 3860 in one round...i nearly fainted

some games its mad what you can get away with. we camped a tank on the flag and just got kill after kill with the engineer hiding behind us drilling away...plus sometimes I seem to get +10 heal, +10 heal pop up to 2-300 points in one go. is that a bug??

if anyone needs a medic for the smaller squad games hit me up only played rush and conquest so far.

[PeteJ]

One medic pack can warrent lots and lots of heals = lots of points. If an almost dead player sits on top of your medipack you can gain 10 or 20 (squad bonus) points every couple of seconds. One of the few games that pays for being a team player!

The number of sniper (and **** ones that don't know how to recon) is definately my biggest issue at the moment. Hopefully they'll go back to MW2 soon.

Yep, same here on 360, been perfect so far.

[BaronSqwelch]

just been kicked out of a game and now my stats are gone!!
looked online about the prob but cant seem to find if its permanent or just a server glitch and they will be back.

not starting from scratch again tho...first few hours were painful so if they are gone tradestation here I come.

Regarding the missing stats, I wouldn't worry too much as I encountered similar issues with Bad Company and Battlefield 1943, and indeed Dice's Mirror's Edge, and it proved to be a temporary, albeit recurring, thing.

Put a couple of hours into the single player campaign and not hugely impressed so far. The team AI still seem pretty shoddy and have a nasty habit of sitting back and waiting for you to do everything (I feel like I have to take out 90% of the enemies myself) and I'm not sure what that opening mission

->Open Spoiler<-

set in WWII was all about

. They seem to have borrowed heavily from CoD too, not only in the presentation, but during the early missions of the game.

The level of destruction is brilliant though - I don't think I've played an FPS where the environemnts feel so interactive, and the graphics and sound effects are top-notch. Pleased they've kept the humour of the original too as I'm tired of super-dooper serious war games with their heads up their arse.

Yet to try multiplayer as despite getting the game primarily for multiplayer, I feel compelled, as always, to complete the campaign first. But that's where I expect the game to really shine.

[Golgo]

Damn, I'd be happy to see my first three hours worth of stats wiped out. They're an embarrassment! Getting slowly better now though.

[mr_rich]

sorry for my noobishness, but on squad death match, is it 4 teams against each other, or 2 squads of each nationality against each other? cant work out the scoreboard system!

[Golgo]

It's meant to be four squads of four pitted against each other, I think, but what with people joining and dropping out you don't often end up with those numbers...
