May 2010 – Something Odd!

SDM on White Pass

oplim77 posted a great Bad Company 2 SDM match with strategy tips for White Pass.

Why is it that I always join a game of Bad Company 2 defending on Nelson Bay when I play alone?

I just “rage quit” when I joined a game where the final Bravo crate was all lit up. I didn’t even enter the game, just turned back and quit.

Later… Conor and Dave got online afterwards and we had a few games. Won maybe 2 of them, and lost badly on Laguna Preza. Dave has more on his blog.

It’s really disheartening to join a game right at the end of the match. I spent almost an hour looking for a fame where I wasn’t defending the last or second last base. Obviously the game engine has a warped sense of how “good” I am and thinks I can turn the tide on a rout!

MY KDR for the evening was 0.68 according to this history page. The increase of my global KDR to 0.74 happened before I played last night! Luckily it didn’t go down.

Later still … Dave posted what I consider the best Bad Company 2 video on Youtube, ever! This sniper was annoying as hell, I couldn’t figure out where he was as he got several one-hit kills so the damage indicator was no use! I remember Dave said he teabagged him, but it’s so delicious actually seeing it.

Had a few mostly forgettable games of Ba…

Had a few mostly forgettable games of Bad Company 2 on the Xbox this afternoon. On all but one game I ended up on teams that were being hammered and usually on the last or second last base.

Last one was pretty good though. We were defending on Isla and stopped the enemy on the first base. We got best squad and I got the second highest score in our team. Thankfully one member of my squad was a medic who revived me a few times. At other times there were 2 recon and as usual standing well back.

Again I was surprised that it appeared only 2 members of our team were engineers. I tracered a few helicopters and so did the other guy but almost everyone was a medic. The lonely assault guy I spotted on our team near Bravo ignored my calls for ammo, when I ran out of tracer darts. Bah. Still, the bad guys had learnt their lesson, using the Apache as a transport vehicle and crashing into the crates.

Oh yeah, I just remembered that I got at least 1 teamkill, and probably 2. I took down Alpha 2 on Isla by shooting the back of the building. Unfortunately a squad member was standing next to the building and got taken out by the falling dust. Someone else may have been in the building. Pity they didn’t have a mic to warn me.

I unlocked the engineer’s 4x scope, and alt vehicle weapons.

Avatar 2 Trailer

A brand new trailer for Avatar 2 has just been released and it’s amazing. If you thought the first film was stunning you’ll be blown away by this one!

Quick game of Bad Company 2 there on the Xbox. Played against a stronger team on Port Valdez. We lost but I got a share of kills and a decent KDR. I don’t like the F2000 so I stuck to the XM8 Prototype. I so want to unlock the AN-94 there too…

I did unlock the M93R handgun, the red dot sight for engineers and assault, and the 4x rifle scope for assault too, or maybe not. I noticed I got a shotgun pin, and I didn’t use the shotgun at all this time. I mustn’t have looked at those stats after my last game.
KDR did increase by 0.01 to 0.71 however!

Dave worried about the effect some types of games might have on younger people but I bet he didn’t think of this. (Make sure you hover over the cartoon!)

That last base in Arica Harbour is a b*t…

That last base in Arica Harbour is a b*tch to take. The defenders were made up of medics using M60s and MG3s, tough going up against them with the AN-94 close range. I was never so happy as when I got behind that last base. I think almost the whole squad spawned on me. Even if the other two didn’t have mics, they were at least listening.
I did get a long streak a few times and positive (or nearly) KDR in each game.

Great games with Conor. Some rounds were easy, some hard, but we won a load of them!

I leveled up to 22, KDR increased to 0.74, W/L increased to 1.37, got the M-COM attacker pin for blowing up 4 M-COM stations, second gold star for the AN-94 and unlocked the G3. We were busy bees.
