David’s Stats Rant
Worth watching when you come out of yet another game with a negative KDR because you’ve been rushing and rushing and playing for the objective. I’ll always be happy when my KDR approaches 1 after a game but this is Bad Company 2. Your win/loss ratio is a lot more important in my opinion (and mine is a healthy 1.45 or so!) If you really want to massage your KDR, just go use an aimbot.
Read his post too. I can’t imagine how frustrating that game must have been for him and the guys.
Odd games of bad company 2!
Wow! Where did the day go? Last night’s games were decidedly odd. I joined Mike on a game of rush and the first thing I noticed was my lack of weapons! They were all gone!
I’d heard of this happening before but not experienced out myself. Yikes! Luckily after the first game they came back.
Still, the server we were on was buggy. Thankfully not laggy but at the end of each round our medals were duplicated! Weird!
It was a good night. We defended port valdez on the first base and I even went flawless, 10-0! I pity the other team. My team pushed almost right into their spawn.
I also got a platinum medal for the AN94! First weapon I’ve done that on.
Unfortunately there was a share of C4ing and using mines to destroy the MCOM stations. Even on my own team. Grrr. We didn’t need to do that.

Smoke rocked the games of Bad Company 2 we played last night. David and I joined a game of rush and I was mostly assault, and smoking it up on defense and attack for most games and it paid off. We won every game played I think!
On past experience I remembered running out of smoke grenades, even with an ammo box at my feet so I equipped the extra explosives perk giving 4 grenades. I was able to lay down a never ending barrage of smoke to protect us. We successfully defended on the first base on White Pass and Laguna Presa.
The enemy were down to about 30 tickets on White Pass. They had blown the MCOM station on the ground and did some serious damage to the walls surrounding the upstairs one. We had clear line of sight out to the construction site, and of course our backs were exposed through the window behind us. Eventually, the enemy took out all the cover inside the room too, and did arm it a few times. We had a few medics on our team who did sterling work reviving me after a few 40mm grenade deaths. We didn’t have a wall, but we did have smoke, and because of it the attackers couldn’t see into the room. We successfully defended by the skin of our teeth. Thanks David, Wiid, Ogga and later Tye for some superb games.
Oh, i’m 10 kills away from a platinum on my AN94. Wooh.
Can’t say the same thing about World at War. The evenings seem to bring on the loudmouthed idiots. Screaming, shouting, playing music through the intermission. Each time I’ve played earlier in the day that has never happened. Perhaps the kids are still asleep or at school. So, for the next session of Call of Duty I’m going to use a Skype session if possible, or at the very least mute VOIP. If you play WAW with me DM me on Twitter and we’ll sort something out.
We didn’t do so well at WAW team deathmatch. I read yesterday that Treyarch don’t try to match players of similar skills and I’d believe it.
Check out David’s post about the night’s gameplay too!
Update! David posted a great video of our attack and defence on White Pass. Like him, I was amazed when we won that game defending Alpha!
Rage quit in COD 4!
They quit, not us! I was enjoying that game too. Next game was the complete opposite. We got mauled but we stuck with it.
In other news I joined arkanoid for a game of conquest in bad company 2 and did fairly well!

The Skorpian in COD4 Modern Warfare is a beast, for a starter gun. I leveled up to rank 4 last night and at random chose this gun in one of my custom classes. It’s incredibly powerful at close range. I won numerous 1 on 1 close quarter battles with it, even earning a few UAVs against more experienced players.
(Not me playing, obviously)
Score wise I didn’t do particularly well in any game as my KDR was rarely positive but later on we jumped into Bad Company 2 Conquest. I did alright, until the server started throwing me out at regular intervals. Level 50 medics with M60s are getting to be a bit of cliche in that game. After suffering one too many deaths at the hands of the AN-94 I swapped back to that weapon myself and rediscovered how utterly powerful it is. (Sorry Mike for scaring you, I wanted to practise rapid firing the fire button!)
I had a few games of squad deathmatch too, losing the first but then almost everyone backed out for the second game and most teams only had one player. I led the game for the first 11 kills. Good buzz, but it got so boring and it was late so I didn’t have time to waste.

Couple of games of WAW with Conor to start with and I had a few half decent games. Got a few double kills, and even earned the recon plane once. Lots of trash talking in the lobbies of course. If I’m playing it without anyone on my friends list I’m going to set the VOIP volume to 0 so I don’t have to hear all that crap.
We followed that up with a coop campaign game, and were joined by 2 others. One of whom sounded like a 12 yro and kept saying, “follow me, I know where the ray gun is!” He got that ray gun of course.
The MP40 with Juggernaut is a beast of a combination and I know I wasn’t the only one using it! The distinctive sound of that gun is easy to make out..
Blur finally as David said they were trying to get some footage for Duck. We joined very late and I only had one game. Conor and I came last and second last. I really don’t think Blur is going to be part of my regular gaming.
Great Bad Company 2 triple commentary by Cards, David and Colin on a game we played 2 weeks ago. What sets this triple commentary apart from others is that I was playing too!
No, that’s not it. David’s editing of the video takes this format to a higher level. In other multi-video commentaries I’ve watched the producer will show the videos of all participants on the screen, one in each corner and I’m left wondering, “Who the hell do I watch? I’m not going to watch each little box! Watch this video 4 times? Screw that!” No, David zoomed in and out of his and Cards’ videos as action took place. It’s a simple trick but takes time to do well and he took that time. Nice work.
PS. Cards says the most powerful class in WAW is the following:
MP40
magnum
Bouncing Betties
Juggernaut
Steady Aim.
Heed his warning never use it again once you get good at the game! 🙂
MCOM Wars Episode I
Coynosham and team put up a great defense against a team who were abusing C4 to blow up the MCOM stations in Bad Company 2. Between them they marked out territory they’d defend and keep secure and it worked really well!
Bonus points for the Star Wars intro. Conor, you’ll love it!
Bad Company 2 Cheater’s Delight
This is what cheating in the PC version of Bad Company 2 looks like. No wonder ratings and comments have been disabled for that video. (via)
Say Hi to Colin on PS3!
It’s public now. DCRU Colin has a Playstation 3! Cards posted a video yesterday announcing the news. I had a few games with them the other night but it went on until about 2am so I unfortunately won’t be doing that too often. Great guys to play with though.
The utterly fantastic intro on the commentary above was created by David and edited by Colin. Very nice work I’m sure you’ll agree!
PS. I wondered if anyone had noticed Colin playing in this game posted by David, and he was noticed but kept quiet about it. Best kept secret?
