Battlefield Bad Company 2

[FelixofMars]

To be fair I hardly ever fly UAV's mostly because a sniper shot or the medic gun can easily knock them out the sky. So whenever I fly them I use the machine gun perk. The rocket is too slow to reload and a bit too much of a fine art.

I know you get people who camp them all game but they must be a bit sad or just trying to boost their KD.

Worst thing 'bout the UAVs, in my opinion, is when the coward using them has opted for the fitted machine gun specialisation. That pisses me off, especially in the hands of a skilled pilot. When you've got enemy soldiers infiltrating your area and an enemy helicopter or tank in close proximity laying down constant fire, it's tough taking down a well-positioned machine gun-fitted UAV.

UAV in the hands of somebody trying to get the road kill achievement can be great fun mind...

Doesn't have to be 5 different friends though, I've got 4 dogtags from one person on my friends list and 1 from a different one and it's given me the trophy.

That`s even better. Happy to help you with this Spags, should be easy enough to also get it for anyone else who wants it.

[Anilones]

I should be around tonight. Hopefully there will be enough folk for a decent squad, those randoms on Friday night were ****ing abysmal

I hope I'm not included in "those randoms".

I'll be on later, see you all then.

Battlefield time! Get on now lads.

Monday nights always seem to be the best when most people are about.

Poor Rossco! We tried everything to get you into a game, even a private match where there was no team balancing & my voice comms died Some technical issues for sure!

We ended with 3 wins and some better gameplay before the time (23:40 NOR) caught up with us.

Thanks for the games guys, the first server was rock hard!

[Spatial]

Curse those guys from PAL-UK(RAINE)!

That first server was mental - I swear they were coming out of the walls.

Was good to see what it was like when the boot's on the other foot but shame about the technical difficulties. The problems were very similar to some of the issues at launch so it wouldn't surprise me if EA's servers were crapping out.

[FelixofMars]

I think there where some real issues, I was trying to play with my friends on the PC version. One guy dropped all together and the squads kept breaking up. Also there seemed to be a few seconds delay of what I was doing Vs the actual game. My connection was fine though so I assume it the hosted EA servers.

At least once it kicked me off EA.com

Tried 1943 as well afterwards (still trying to hit 50) and had similar issues. So it must be the whole system.

[tbm]

50hz, RF all the way baby...

We got a pummelling last night that`s for sure, barely able to get a rhythm going, and then Rossco`s woes didn`t help Bar telling him to pat his head and rub his stomach at the same time, I think we tried everything but no luck. So frustrating when that happens and he was certainly missed. For all the negatives its nice to have some new faces in Anilones and Rune alongside the regulars

Btw, the Et Tu, Brute? cheev only works on normal online games, knife kills from the private game we had didn`t count.

Kit upgrade packs are out tomorrow, the packs also includes 12 new awards and 4 Achievements.

"In North America the kit upgrades are only available on Xbox 360 using the Dr Pepper codes printed on special promotional cans."

"In Europe and the UK you can get hold of the kit upgrades for:
Xbox Live Marketplace
160 MS points per kit upgrade
440 MS points for bundle pack (all 4 kits)"

Hopefully we can pinch Dr Pepper codes, hopefully.

Oh forgot to say they are released for Xbox 360 only tomorrow, PC/PS3 versions to come later.

[FelixofMars]

Not great that we have to pay, but I just bought the Assassin Creed 2 DLC and I am in two minds it was worth it for what it added to the game. Even though the outlay for them was cheap.

What are the upgrade kits? are they new stuff or just reskins?

They are just new skins, not trying to defend it but even if you buy 4 dr peppers it's still costing money. Really did think they would end up being free for VIP, suppose reskins and new achievements are not covered by EA's Project $10.

[MJ]

After doing some more reading it looks like it's more hassle than it's worth and I think I might just pay the 440 MS Points for the bundle.

I honestly don't have an issue for paid DLC "Costumes." If they don't give people an advantage and help the developer get money for new maps then fine. I've had 30 hours so far for my ?36.99 so I'm not complaining. Look forward to some "Paid" DLC now, as I'm starting to want a bit more.
