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*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.
I’m downloading Half Life 2 through Steam on my Macbook now. I don’t expect it to run any better than Portal did however. Glad I have the Orange Box on my Xbox if I want a decent game of either! (Thanks giantbomb!)
Err, get your kit back I mean! In Bad Company 2 you can revive a medic by grabbing his kit and reviving him but you’ll be stuck with his kit then. That’s not usually so bad but if you want your kit back you can press “E” while reviving. On PC anyway.
Does the same thing work on consoles? I imagine it probably does but I haven’t tried it.
Uuga uuga, as Dave would say. Someone’s complaining that the AN-94 is overpowered. As I’ve just unlocked it and I’m doing rather well with it, I probably have to agree that it’s quite powerful. As a burst weapon I’ve found it hard to win in a 1 on 1 against a medic equipped with an M60. It takes practice and some skill to shoot people at close range.
Bad Company 2 is going to be patched again shortly and I’ve discovered what changes are coming thanks to this reddit post! Some of the exciting changes include:
Removed ability for gunners to actually hit things while vehicle is moving.
Medics can no longer defibrillate vehicles in order to kill the occupants inside.
The M60 is no longer compatible with the 12x scope.
Added trick functionality to ATV and Quad to encourage players to do sick wheelies and jumps off wicked high cliffs.
Assault kits now have the option to have 40mm confetti when choosing assault weapons. Confetti can be used to trick enemy players into thinking it is their birthday.
Added a number of old west style weapons to promote our upcoming title “Battlefield 1842”.
Playing Bad Company 2 with strangers can be tough! First 3 or so games I entered my team lost within a few minutes. I finally did join a half decent team and won perhaps 2 games. I even used the attic attack and took Alpha on Port Valdez! Luckily Bravo was taken at the exact same time and only one recon guy came to investigate Alpha right before it blew up. The final crate blew just as I was killed, but I had taken out 3 defenders with help from a motion mine tossed nearby.
On the third base I flanked the whole place, taking out a few defenders on the way. Two of my squad spawned on me and we kept the construction site defended the whole round! While a tank and some of the enemy concentrated on us the rest of our team took the crates. It was beautiful, and we got the best squad pin in the game. Woo!
I used the M16, and it’s a beast but I think I prefer the AN-94. I’m up to 190 kills with that gun already! 🙂
I came across nobody who used their mics. None whatsoever. Argh!
Bit tired tonight so my aim and reflexes weren’t as good as at the weekend, but I still managed to increase my KDR by 0.01 to 0.72. I unlocked the PP-2000.
David said I’d like the M16 in Bad Company 2 since I like the AN-94 and after watching this video I think he may be right.
What’s your favourite load out with the M16? Muzza says magnum ammo isn’t needed and armour is better but I like to compensate for my lack of skill at aiming. What do you think?
On another note, Muzza has unlocked all the weapons in the game and is selling it because he’s bored of it. I suppose we all get bored with games from time to time but this isn’t the first time I heard of someone reaching this decision. Thankfully Alex didn’t get rid of BC2 and he still posts stuff, including some sweet screenshots from the PC version.
