Tag Archives: Bad Company 2

Bad Company 2 Conquest and SDM last night for us. Cards needed our help with a video he’s doing but unfortunately Duck can never connect to David’s games. Weird. Anyway, when we got into the game we ended up on the wrong teams so we started jumping around and stuff and gave up. I presume Cards grabbed a few others then.

It was getting late so I started another squad and we hopped into SDM, without David at first but he joined later on another squad and killed Mike and Duck. I dodged him, but still ended up with a bad KDR. I think we won, but definitely won the last game of SDM we played. Despite my crap KDR.

This Reddit thread reminded me of two of our games on Atacama Desert. The enemy grabbed both our helicopters and flew around like mad things! They still didn’t stop us taking all three flags. Duck and myself had lots of fun defending one flag over and over again! Poor Mike had a tough time trying to take down the air vehicles. We won won game decisively, but the second game was lost even though we had all three flags. Those helis did a lot of damage.

Blur tonight, or over the next few days methinks. Excited to try the teamplay games. Will have to unlock that mode first though.

Oh, there was a weird lag in some games. It felt more like the machine struggling to display and run the game rather than network issues. No rubber banding, just a case of stuttering occasionally. The same thing happens to me when I host Onslaught games and the game gets hectic. Anyone else?

Funny moment of the night: I think David spawned on me in the building that normally houses Bravo 2 on Arica Harbour. I spotted an enemy in the next building so I aimed high and tossed a grenade. Ooops. Instead of going through the door it bounced off the wall above it and came right back at us! I dodged out of the blast radius and thankfully it wasn’t hardcore so I didn’t have to worry about teamkills. How we laughed! 🙂

I feel sorry for the team we were playing in Bad Company 2 Rush this evening. We slaughtered them.

Defending on White Pass they didn’t make it past the first base. They started by shooting RPGs into Bravo and when I had little success shooting back I flanked around by heading up the construction site. You can practically see into their spawn from there! They didn’t expect it at all! It’s also a good idea to run behind the construction site up on the hill. Quite a few attackers were headed that way and were easy kills. Got a nice 15/9 game out of that.

There was some C4 whoring too, and in the next game we were attacking on Arica Harbour, both crates were taken out by C4. I quit then, mainly because it’s so late but that really bugged me too. Pity teamkills were’t possible because I pumped a clip into the back of that recon.

Playing with Sulley, Duck and Red Dragons. Wish we could have bigger squads or party chat like on Xbox Live because Mike and Conor logged in too. Bah.

My KDR has increased to 0.84 and win/loss has jumped from 1.52 to 1.57. Woo!

Bizzare. I just joined a game of Hardcore onslaught and the rest of my team are on a different squad! Now someone else is joining, on my squad. Weird.

Just played Onslaught on easy mode with a “try hard”. First time I’ve used that expression but the guy was screaming at everyone to get in the chopper at each base! Needless to say I ignored him after the first base, but he did tie up one of our team who flew around and around in the vehicle!

I mean, it’s easy. The hardest bit was the enemy heli!

I just remembered. You can easily roadkill your own team in hardcore mode. I was flying as a passenger in a heli on Isla when I jumped out. Whatever way the pilot flew he managed to roadkill me in midair! First time for everything I guess!

Conquest vs Rush. That’s easy! Conquest. Too many C4ing idiots in rush right now.

That’s why I was playing Conquest last night with Mike, Darran and Conor. We had some great games. Laguna Presa was especially enjoyable but I did notice that enemy players were using shotguns more and more so who was I to not take a hint?

Conquest has lots of close quarters fighting. So many encounters take place in buildings, around flags, and in choke points between flags that you need something with stopping power up close. A shotgun is perfect for that. I loaded up with the Saiga, extra shells and lightweight and had a pile of fun. My score wasn’t amazing or anything but I did take out two tanks with c4 earning me 300+ points each time. Unfortunately killing myself each time too. The first time because a sniper laid a mortar strike on the vehicle before I could get away. Grrr.

I also played Panama Canal for the first second time and that was a blast. The first time I played Bad Company 2 was in Conquest on this level and I hated it! I had no idea what was going on, there was so much cover I was being blasted to smithereens whichever way I moved and none of my team used a mic and were no help. My second game was a lot more enjoyable! 🙂

We got best squad in most of the games, I got a positive KDR in a few and once, just once, got the highest score in my squad, beaten to the top spot on our team by only 200 points or so.

I had a very quick game of Onslaught on hardcore difficulty this afternoon and boy is it impossible without a good team. Played on Isla and we got nowhere!

Cool, there’s a neat stats graph on the bfbcs.com history page now! Look at my skill level bounce up and down!

Phoar! Bad Company 2 Onslaught on hardcore is a nice challenge! No health meter, no ammo count, no map. Tough. I like!

In other news I tried Gears of War 2 again after a lengthy absence. It’s just not the same. I tried horde and a few other multiplayer modes but it told me I was missing necessary map packs! Argh! That sucks.
