The best paybacks in Bad Company 2

Someone kills you in Battlefield Bad Company 2 and you’re itching for revenge. How did you do it? Here’s some funny paybacks by Reddit users. Favourites of mine include the following:

Wookie in the lighthouse sniped me so I got on the UAV, flew it in the hole in the top and down through the lighthouse innards to roadkill him.
…
Parachuting out of a blackhawk on valpo directly onto the sniper who killed me, doing a little dance on top of him and then stabbing down though his skull.
…
I went to their house and took all their stuff.
Sometimes I should just hit cancel…
…
I got sniped by a defender on Port Valdez who was in the attic of one of the houses in our spawn. I came back as an assault with expanded c4 and took the building down with him inside it. He cussed me out afterward, so I know I did a good job.

Got destroyed in Bad Company 2 this even…

Got destroyed in Bad Company 2 this evening. Really wiped out.

Even though I unlocked the tracer gun I couldn’t equip it as a medic. Not that it made any difference, we were fighting on Nelson Bay. It’s not the easiest map in the world to play in standard def.

To do something constructive I escalated my PayPal dispute with divineo.co.uk to a claim and filled in as much detail as possible.

Going be past experience, I’ll be surprised if they respond before the 10 day deadline.

Update! PayPal granted me a refund on my dispute with divineo! Got my fingers crossed the component switcher cable from Amazon arrives today but it’ll probably be next week.

Update 2! I finally received the following message from Divineo, after my payment was refunded by PayPal (not Divineo):

I`m sorry at the moment we do not have this item in stock. Please check as you should have received a refund. Best regards and apologies for the inconvenience. Divineo

Couple of great games of Bad Company 2 w…

Couple of great games of Bad Company 2 with Eddie on the Xbox after work. I totally lost track of time!

I played recon with my trusty M1 for quite a while, and love that gun. Love the sound of it at least, even if it’s not the best gun in the game. I eventually unlocked the motion mines, and while defending they lit up the enemy nicely. I did try the M24 but, meh, I sucked at it. I got picked off by a sniper just after I respawned so I didn’t bother with it after that.

We lost mostly, but won at least one game. Mostly it was fairly evenly matched. It was tough but very enjoyable. We had a full squad with 2 strangers. Even though they didn’t use the mic at least they listened to me shouting at them. I think.

So, I leveled to rank 11. I unlocked the motion mine, the Type 88 sniper rifle, and one or two perks and got some achievement or other I think. KDR suffered but had great games.

Extreme Cannon Fodder

David produced a montage of great clips from Geoff’s Youtube channel and played the old Cannon Fodder theme tune in the background. I can’t believe this hasn’t been done before but maybe the average Youtuber is too young to remember this classic Amiga game!

Geoff himself used the same tune in this Squad Rush video as he and his team annihilated the opposition. Cannon fodder indeed!

Montage clips are from Modern Warfare 2 and Bad Company 2 of course. If you’re curious, here’s the Cannon Fodder intro and here’s some gameplay from the game. Great game, but I always preferred Syndicate.

Bad Company 2 with David, Mark and Conor…

Bad Company 2 with David, Mark and Conor tonight. I found it hard to get into my stride but we were playing on a great team and I think won every game. I did come out with a decent KDR in two rounds too!

Ok, ok, never mind that they were crap scores. I was laying down smoke and refilling ammo quite a bit too but whenever my KDR gets near 1 I celebrate!

Still waiting on my component switcher cable. Friday night’s game was in HD and it made a huge difference.

Edit – never mind the above, thinking back over the games I think I’m just peeved that we were playing with such a strong team who played for the objective. I did my share of setting and defending the bomb but this time our squad wasn’t the only one doing so. It was quite amazing how fast we overran the enemy base sometimes. I honestly prefer those games where we have to fight for every inch (but not have to fight too hard!)

Bad Company 2 Helicopter Tutorial

Not another helicopter tutorial? Yes, yes, but this one is good and it’s short. Flying a helicopter in Bad Company 2 is damn hard and AdaptableFuton suggests changing the air controls to BC1 controls. Might make it easier but you probably lose manoeuvrability.

Also, and this is the important bit. Engineers can only repair the helicopter when it’s flying low. I didn’t know that. Must have been dumb luck when I was repairing that we were at the right altitude.

Destroy first Alpha crate in Port Valdez Quickly

It’s really easy to kill the first Alpha crate on Port Valdez with a tank from afar. When an M-COM station is in a solid building there’s always a danger of the building falling down around it. I don’t think it’s a bug, it’s a design feature. Bravo on that map is much more exposed and harder to take. (via)

On Isla all it takes is a knife! Watch and enjoy!

Not in a Squad? Then You Are a Complete and Total Moron

Some choice quotes from Bad Company 2: When Bad Players Ruin a Great Game (via)

If you are not actively engaged in either defending or assaulting crates or control zones, you are wasting everyone’s time who has an interest in playing the game as it is designed.
…..
Let me make this real simple: When you are on the attacking team, you cannot win by killing more of the defensive team than they kill of you. It’s not possible. It’s doesn’t matter how many times you try or wish things were differently, it just won’t work. This isn’t Modern Warfare 2.
…..
Instead, I see people standing around, making no effort whatsoever. Or, if they make an effort, it is so half-assed as to be useless, like the dainty noobs who appear too frightened to enter a building because they might get killed so they hang around outside like a gaggle of drifters, waiting for god knows what until finally the bomb explodes, objective lost. Good work men. Try not to work up a sweat next time.

I’m adding his strategy guide, part 1 and part 2 to my own Bad Company 2 beginners guide.
