Mike, Muse and myself came across our first boosting team in Bad Company 2 tonight (err last night, it’s after midnight.)

It was on Arica Harbour and we were decimating the other team. They got nowhere near us before we killed their vehicles or shot them down but a few players still managed to get 2500 points and more on the first stage. A few did get through eventually and took both crates. Most of our team were too far forward, but Mike and I did rush back but they got Alpha just as we got them.

That may explain why someone got -1660 points in the previous round. Wish I’d taken a snapshot of that..

Good games again finally (last few days have been atrocious!), my KDR went up to 0.79 (1.62 for tonight: 73/45), I got my 5th gold star on the AN-94, my first “7 kills with a sniper” pin, unlocked the 12x recon zoom and I’m level 25 now.

On Isla I took Alpha with the help of copious amounts of smoke, and then defending Mike positioned himself on a far off island, tagged the helicopters before they launched and each heli was taken down by up to 3 rockets! I got a nice double kill when a medic sneaked into Bravo. I had my gun on him and just as I fired another medic spawned on him! Got a nice double kill!
While at Bravo again an engineer got in, I emptied my clip in his direction and he did the same doing some serious damage to me but we were both out of ammo and right next to each other! I flicked to secondary and started to reload my tracer gun and with red blood all over my screen we danced around and around until I managed to knife him. Thanks klaustaler for the gold dog tags. Hell of a fight!

I think we beat them in that round on the first base! Amazing stuff.

Thanks Mike, Ian. Needed those good games after the really bad few games of the last few nights.

I fired up the PS3 last night to check if anyone was online. Bigpresh (Dave) was there and redd_dragons but I joined Dave in his session. He was playing conquest and I spawned on him, next to an empty tank. After my previous games with a shotgun I wanted to try out the NS2000 on assault. Anyway, an enemy hopped in the tank, but of course I had C4 so moments after spawning I got a tank and enemy kill!
I didn’t last too much longer though and we all left shortly after for a game of rush.

Unfortunately I don’t think we won any game of rush. I didn’t do too well with the NS2000 though I did get one or two one-shot-kills with it. I also got my revenge on a sniper by counter-sniping him with an M24 and a measly 4x scope. I eventually switched back to the almighty AN-94 and ended the game on 22 kills for 12 deaths, a KDR of 1.83. 23 kills with the AN-94! I got numerous pins including best player with a score of 2500 and my KDR is slowly going in the right direction, despite my experimenting with shotguns. It’s now 0.78. Win/Loss ratio is heading down though, at 1.44.

The other team were all over us. We were down to 6 players at one time, and the other team had about 9, though it ended with 8 vs 9 in the end. I’m slightly worried about the lack of players. It was getting late, about 10:30pm when I started playing, but there was a lot more online activity even a week or two ago.
Maybe EA/Dice are getting desperate for players?

Oh, I played the previous night with Mike, but I played so badly I just want to forget those games ever happened. Mike played a blinder though, over 5,000 points in one game. He was at the top of the leaderboard and I was at the bottom. *sob*

Couple of good games on the Xbox with Eddie. We lost most of the games and some of the teams we played with were atrocious, but we played a blinder in Valparaiso, base 3. Got a few nice RPG tank kills. I’m particularly proud of how I stole one of their tanks in that base but in a different game. I snuck behind their spawn with the intention of shooting the UAV operator. I can’t remember if I did but a pile of wookies appeared. They must have been at a conference. Shot 2 or 3 of them, spotted the light tank and made a run for it.
Unfortunately our team couldn’t hold down the base and shortly after I got back the last crate blew up. Boo! Earlier in that game I managed to steal their Apache helicopter too. I landed it at the back of our base for safe keeping but some busy body outside our squad took it and flew around a bit. I’d love to have been a fly on the walls of the other team to see their heli firing on them. 🙂

Some of the games were ridiculous however. In one game all the defenders left, and in the next game we joined we were left with 5 and then 6 players, half of the team being our squad! Still, we made a good showing. I suppose we should have just stayed back in our spawn area and sniped for the score but hey, you’ve gotta play for the objective. We also got the Best Squad pin, is that “best squad on your team” or in the game?

I unlocked the AUG, and I’m about 7,000 assault points from the AN-94. I’d forgotten how much I like the AUG actually. It was a pleasure to use, especially with body armour. Haven’t unlocked magnum ammo yet.
I also unlocked the AKS-74U, a fine weapon and one of my favourite engineer’s weapons. My KDR rose a notch, despite the last heavily outnumbered game to 0.72

I just played a game of Bad Company 2 with the worst team ever.

First of all I spawned on a recon guy in the hills above the first base on Arica Harbour, and because I was afk when the game started I thought I was attacking. Nope. We were defending and all of my squad, 2 recons and a medic were perched on Sniper Hill. Alpha had already been taken and Bravo didn’t last too long.

Defending in the town, I hopped into the heavy tank and took out a few enemies. Someone planted Alpha, I took out an engineer in a house across the road with the tank who had fired an RPG into the crate, and killed an attacker in Alpha too. The crate was ripe for disarming! Did anyone oblige? Did they what? Disarm? I spotted two medics from my team on the roof of Alpha just hanging around, shooting the breeze.
I had to get out of the tank and hop into Alpha where I started to disarm but I was too late. I quit in disgust.

The latest patch for Bad Company 2 makes “playing for the objective” a lot more rewarding! Arming an MCOM station and blowing it up earns you 250 points rather than 100 points as it was previously. Looks like defensive kills are now 50 points extra, 20 points more. I presume the scores have gone up for the opposite too.

I played yesterday evening with Mick and Conor in different games and boy were they tough. A lot more people were playing for the objective by defending and attacking the crates. So much so that I think I only disarmed one crate the whole night! Saying that, in our last game on Port Valdez we were defending and successfully stopped the enemy taking Alpha. I had my crosshairs trained on that crate for a good few minutes and took down any enemies that snuck past the rest of our defenses.

On that same map, but while attacking I was trying to trace the Hind helicopter, watching it skim over the buildings in the distance when it’s nose clipped some scenery. It did a back flip, head over heels, but somehow continued flying!
It was fun knifing the guy on the UAV on that map. After the second base most of my team retreated but I hung back, got 2 kills and went looking for the UAV stand. Spotted it and probably gave the operator quite a surprise!

Anyway, my KDR suffered, I got my third gold star for the AN-94, and used the M16 a bit. Got owned several times by medics at close range. That was the most frustrating experience, and partly down to tiredness and forgetting to pump the trigger finger. When I remembered to do it, the AN-94 is a devastating weapon.

I also made it to level 23, and I’ve put 48 hours of my life into this game!

Had a few mostly forgettable games of Bad Company 2 on the Xbox this afternoon. On all but one game I ended up on teams that were being hammered and usually on the last or second last base.

Last one was pretty good though. We were defending on Isla and stopped the enemy on the first base. We got best squad and I got the second highest score in our team. Thankfully one member of my squad was a medic who revived me a few times. At other times there were 2 recon and as usual standing well back.

Again I was surprised that it appeared only 2 members of our team were engineers. I tracered a few helicopters and so did the other guy but almost everyone was a medic. The lonely assault guy I spotted on our team near Bravo ignored my calls for ammo, when I ran out of tracer darts. Bah. Still, the bad guys had learnt their lesson, using the Apache as a transport vehicle and crashing into the crates.

Oh yeah, I just remembered that I got at least 1 teamkill, and probably 2. I took down Alpha 2 on Isla by shooting the back of the building. Unfortunately a squad member was standing next to the building and got taken out by the falling dust. Someone else may have been in the building. Pity they didn’t have a mic to warn me.

I unlocked the engineer’s 4x scope, and alt vehicle weapons.

Quick game of Bad Company 2 there on the Xbox. Played against a stronger team on Port Valdez. We lost but I got a share of kills and a decent KDR. I don’t like the F2000 so I stuck to the XM8 Prototype. I so want to unlock the AN-94 there too…

I did unlock the M93R handgun, the red dot sight for engineers and assault, and the 4x rifle scope for assault too, or maybe not. I noticed I got a shotgun pin, and I didn’t use the shotgun at all this time. I mustn’t have looked at those stats after my last game.
KDR did increase by 0.01 to 0.71 however!

That last base in Arica Harbour is a b*tch to take. The defenders were made up of medics using M60s and MG3s, tough going up against them with the AN-94 close range. I was never so happy as when I got behind that last base. I think almost the whole squad spawned on me. Even if the other two didn’t have mics, they were at least listening.
I did get a long streak a few times and positive (or nearly) KDR in each game.

Great games with Conor. Some rounds were easy, some hard, but we won a load of them!

I leveled up to 22, KDR increased to 0.74, W/L increased to 1.37, got the M-COM attacker pin for blowing up 4 M-COM stations, second gold star for the AN-94 and unlocked the G3. We were busy bees.
