Tag Archives: Bad Company 2

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.

Got online and Mick was just heading off so I hopped into a game of Bad Company 2 squad deathmatch. Thankfully I joined a team with 2 guys using their mics so it was fun. We won the first round fairly decisively, I got 8 kills, but didn’t do so well in the following games. KDR was steady around 1 or slightly below.

I joined a game of rush when those two left and joined a game attacking on Port Valdez. Alpha was already taken but since nobody was using their mic I wasn’t told until I had ridden a quad up to the smoking ruins of the building. Mick logged in and joined my squad so it was a relief to hear a friendly voice. Dunno what the rest of our squad made of our banter about the weather and the nice day we had today 🙂

We fairly quickly took each base, on the last base I got into a HUMV Mick was shooting from and drove us up to Alpha with the idea of setting the bomb there quickly. I did, but unfortunately a recon guy on the defending team had planted C4 on it and detonated it. Silly bugger killed me but also damaged his own crate! I spawned later as an engineer but I needn’t have bothered. We controlled their helicopter and the game finished quickly.

KDR has gone up by 0.01 to 0.71, got an extra 4 dog tags too. Mostly in SDM. Got a gold star for my an-94! Win/Loss ratio went down by 0.01 to 1.33. Oh well.

PS. check out Dave’s blog. He’s posting footage from some of our games!

Played some great games of Bad Company 2 tonight. Started off with Mark, then Mick joined shortly after and we stopped the opposition on the first base of Nelson Bay! Woah!

We did lose one game I think, on Laguna Presa. Teams changed and they evened out but they were great fun to play. Defending the last Bravo crate on Laguna Presa was tense, especially as they had set a bomb with only a ticket or two left but we won eventually.

Uzi is pretty good, I used that tonight for the first time. Took down the Blackhawk on Port Valdez with a CG after tracing it. It flew straight overhead, whoosh, boom! Game ended in a win a few seconds later as Mick defended the bomb on Bravo.

Ranked to 21, got positive KDR almost all the time and unlocked the M16 and USAS-12.
Got a Gold Star for my AN-94 already. 144 kills. Only 57 yesterday.

KDR has increased by 0.03 to 0.70, Win/Loss ratio is 1.34. They’re headed in the right direction!

Bloody hell, the AN-94 rocks. Too many hours playing Bad Company 2 tonight but once I got into a squad with David, Mick, Ross and then Muse we tore up the opposition. My KDR is inching up too, from 0.63 to 0.67!

In at least 2 games we actually managed to hold off the enemy attackers at the first base. It almost happened in Arica Harbour, and certainly happened while defending Isla. They didn’t even manage to get one crate on Isla in that game! I think most of the attackers were playing recon and stayed on the hill! It was almost too easy.

Having more than one person with a tracer really helps on levels with helicopters. Mick was a medic but traced several and I took them down on Valpairaso on a CG! On the other hand, when we were attacking Dave piloted the helicopter around the battlefield of the first base for several minutes acting as a mobile spawn point for the rest of us. A circling Apache would have lasted all of 20 seconds against us! I wonder if people on the other team were playing as squads or as lone wolves?

Seems I got my first demolition 2.0 kill last night. I think that was when I took Alpha 1 in Arica Harbour using a tank to destroy the building. Woo! I also got an explosive efficiency pin, long service radio warfare (100 tracer plants) and exemplary battlefield knowledge (10 silver stars). I unlocked the AN-94 (if that wasn’t obvious!), the M416, the UZI, M14 and Neostead 2000. I also unlocked the 4x scope for recons.

Oh yeah, had my best ever game in terms of kills last night. 30 kills in one game!

Edit: Dave already has some footage up on Youtube from the games last night. Obviously not a fan of the Lighthouse Family!

And more footage from the same game from this post. He blogged the night’s gameplay too.
