Is the M60 in Bad Company 2 overpowered?…

Is the M60 in Bad Company 2 overpowered? I have no idea but I just unlocked it which is as good a reason as any to show this video. The iron sights on the M60 are awful though.

He also uses the 4x zoom I unlocked too but on “Nelson Bay” last night it’s just not useful because the map is so dark. Besides, I suck at aiming. I’ve lost count of the number of times I tracked a player shooting him when he moved in front of me, only for him to turn towards me and kill me with a single burst of gunfire!

Bad Company 2, Modern Warfare 2 and othe…

Bad Company 2, Modern Warfare 2 and other links round up:

  1. A simple glitch exists in Bad Company 2 to get your tickets back when rushing. Glad I haven’t seen that happen yet but it’s only a matter of time unless it’s patched quickly.
  2. All about boosting in MW2. I only saw it once in-game and unfortunately wasn’t able to stop it. Sucks to be cheaters.
  3. Full Metal Joke: FMJ – FMJ only helps shooting through things, but I’ll still use stopping power, even after reading this.
  4. C64.sk and Commodore Free for C64 fans.
  5. Digital: a love story set in 1988 with suitably retro interface. (via)

More rocking games of rush in Bad Company 2 with Eddie. A very vocal French guy and another guy without a mic joined us for the last game and boy was it the best ever. I got a “best player” pin and we got a “best squad” pin after that. A highlight was flanking the dumb sniper who shot me and stabbing him in the back. Hehe.

Some earlier games were frustrating though as some players on our team were more interested in their KDR than defusing the bombs! I literally ran past someone near the bomb and was too late to defuse it.

Nintendo 3DS, a 3D version of the Nintendo DS will be released sometime in the next year. Cool.

Nintendo Co., Ltd.(Minami-ward of Kyoto-city, President Satoru Iwata) will launch “Nintendo 3DS”(temp) during the fiscal year ending March 2011, on which games can be enjoyed with 3D effects without the need for any special glasses.

Now all they need to do is solve the awful piracy problems on the DS and publishers might actually support the platform. (via Engadget and @conoro)

A super secret mockup of the Nintendo 3DS has just been revealed! (via gamovr and Retroremakes)

Bad Company 2 night tonight with Eddie. …

Bad Company 2 night tonight with Eddie. We started off badly, really badly. The first 2 or 3 rounds of Rush we were annihilated so we went searching for a more evenly matched game. We found one and stuck with them for a bit, I was even doing quite well as a medic leading the scoreboard with 1630 points (lots of reviving) when suddenly my screen went black and I was on the main screen again!

I rejoined the game, but of course my score had reset, but thankfully I kept the red dot sight for the medic class. Phew. Shortly afterwards the sound died. All I could hear was mic sounds. No in-game sound at all! I had to turn off the machine and rejoin again. I have a vague memory of that happening before.

Oh, then the batteries in the controller went. I knew I should have charged them so I grabbed some from my camera flash. Not before dying though.

In our last game we held down Bravo well enough to win. About a half dozen of us roaming the building fighting off the enemy. Us medics were busy reviving and passing out heals.

I have to figure out if other people are in squads. There was only Eddie and myself in our squad which is limiting but I don’t want to go inviting other team members who might be in squads already.

It was frustrating at first, but we had fun by the end of the night. I really have to ring Microsoft tomorrow.

My stats from earlier in the night

OMG. I played a blinder this evening. Pa…

OMG. I played a blinder this evening. Paul and Eddie joined me in a few games of Modern Warfare 2 today. Here’s how it went:

  1. 15 0 4 Derail
  2. 15 0 7 Invasion
  3. 9 1 8 Skidrow
  4. 10 0 7 Derail
  5. 12 1 10 Sub base
  6. 10 0 10 Highrise
  7. 13 4 5 Junkyard
  8. 14 0 6 Skidrow
  9. 12 0 6 Rundown
  10. 7 4 6 Karachi
  11. 9 1 12 Favela
  12. 5 1 11 Estate
  13. 15 0 5 Karachi

Mostly played with my silent class: Silenced UMP with AA-12 (hardly ever used) and perks were Marathon Pro, Stopping Power Pro and Ninja Pro.

Even with my tactical layout I managed a few knife kills, including one of a very annoying sniper who did a lot of damage to my KDR! Now I’ve jinxed it of course so I’m not going to touch the Xbox tomorrow night. Maybe.

Unfortunately to put a downer on the evening when I took off my headphones I heard a loud buzzing from my Xbox 360. A quick search shows it could be the DVD drive but MW2 is installed to the harddisk. I may ring Microsoft tomorrow.

Update! Paul blogged about his games too. Glad he had a great time too!
