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.

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.

So this is what it’s like to play with super humans …

I decided to try a game of Bad Company 2 after work this evening and started the game with an assault class (XMP whatever-it’s-called assault rifle) as a defender on Nelson Bay. You know, the map set at night. I hate it.

Anyway, the attackers took Alpha so we hunkered down at Bravo fending off all attacks and won very quickly. I managed to kill 13 for 11 deaths. Wow. That was fast.
Next round we were attacking, on the same map. Practically as soon as I spawned my team had set a charge on Alpha and next thing I knew that bomb had detonated. Within minutes Bravo was gone too! I barely fired a shot, didn’t kill anyone and died 4 times. But the game lasted all of about 3-4 minutes. That’s unheard of!

Modern Warfare 2 and Bad Company 2 were …

Modern Warfare 2 and Bad Company 2 were a complete fail last night. I got mowed down in MW2 by everyone else, and in BC2 I joined the game as a medic only to discover I had one squad mate who quickly disappeared and wasn’t interested in playing as a team.

Oh, and I unlocked the defibrillator and the enhanced medkit. Reviving downed team mates was useful though it’s a hard job.

Still, at least I got a positive KDR in one game when I manned the gun on a tank!
