Battlefield Bad Company 2

[spagmasterswift]

I've been playing this too much. Went to bed last night and kept getting target symbols flashing in the darkness and those vital signs symbols. Dreamt about shooting people last two nights and last night dreamt my head was blown off by a grenade and I was trying to breath through my neck stump. Today I keep flinching at planes in the sky thinking they're UAV's and as I work on the Thames its been a nightmare for me with all the military helicopters that fly along it. I mistook a poster tube for an RPG.

I'd stop playing but I have a bunch of badges at tipping point.

You sure its just the badges at tipping point?

[spagmasterswift]

Thank god for the UK's tough stance on gun control...

[Rossco]

Haha classic. I'm playing it too much too. Came home from uni and went for "one quick game" and about 2 hours later I was still playing!

I do fancy a game with you lot again though. It's so much more fun playing Rush with about 8 people in a party all co-ordinating together to end the other team!

I am having withdrawal symptoms from this game, I may be on later. Always had the M-Com alarm ringing in my ears.
I will definitely be on tomorrow when Laguna Presa rush map becomes activated.

[PeteJ]

Yeah looking forward to the map packs, I love every one (some more than others I admit...) but there aren't enough for each mode. Still struggling to get good games in Rush, more often than not I end up on a team that just cannot get it together.

Hope some of you guys are on tonight, Monday is my gaming night. Be on from 1930.

[Rossco]

Cool I'll jump on then capcom and hopefully we'll get a decent wee group together.

Whats the deal with these new maps then? Just that one map getting turned into a Rush version too? Is it free? I bloody hope so.

[Family Fry]

Yeah free for VIP. You get two new gametypes map unlocks.
Laguna Presa opens up for Rush
Arica Harbour opens up for Conquest
Don't know when the new class kit/achievements are coming, April is still due date for those.

[Rossco]

Awesome! Looking forward to the new Rush version of Laguna Presa then, that will be cool.

I'll be on at about 8pm so look out for me.

[FelixofMars]

Yeah, you could also 'trick' kill a tank by targeting another enemy of an unused tank or gun. This would make it so the lock on signal wouldn't ring out. I liked that helped to find a sneaky tactic. As you say you felt very open while you used it not like the mortar.

I have adapted, but do miss the guided missile sometimes. There was definitely a skill to it and the vulnerability of your character whilst using it added to the tension.

Decided it was time to try the recon class last night, not really my cup of tea but I persisted and unlocked 12x zoom and mortar strike. It was a slow and painful night and the majority of my kills in the beginning were the result of my trusty sidearm BUT it was definitely worth it.

No sitting in bushes for me staring at the horizon - attack, attack, attack

• Motion sensors to help the team in key chokepoints, flags or m-coms
• Mortar anything and everything aka The Thunderstorm
• Spot assist
• All important the satisfying gravity compensation shots

If I'm in a squad of friends or solid team of randoms great, if not I will definitely use the Frustrating Ninja class in the future. Such fun annoying the enemy, attacking them where they don't expect or want which means they may neglect more important matters = Victory

Also if you're a medic and above rank 5 don't revive everyone you see, check if possible if it is safe to do so first.

Purchased this on the Xbox 360 today and just had an epic multiplayer session (rush, of course). Last match my team won, thanks to some epic defensive skills. It was on the snowy map (can't remember the name) and we started really badly, basically "giving" away the first couple of bases. Then all of sudden the team started to pull together and got the attackers down to around 40 odd "tickets" left on the third base. With just point A to defend we rallied round it and made it so hard for them even get near it. Needless to say we won but, man, there were some intense moments. At one point I had like 4 enemies charging at me and I somehow managed to take them all out, it felt awesome.

Loving the Engineer class, haven't even really tried any other of the classes. It is immensely satisfying to take down any enemy vehicle with a well placed shot from the rocket launcher. As crazy as it sounds I also enjoy chasing after friendly tanks and repairing them, weird sense of satisfaction!

Played quite a bit of the PC version and I have to say I much prefer the 360 version (even after one session), can't quite put my finger on the reason though.....I just do.

Denjin K's 'Heals on Wheels' - Need a revive? I'll be there in five!

[ezee ryder]

Ah, you're Denjin K (d'uh it says so in your user title). I was only in your game (with the other ntsc dudes) for like 10 minutes or so but t'was definitely fun.

Couldn't join your party for some reason though, cheers for the invite though. Will join you guys properly next time your on, if there's space.
