You can have two UAVs on Nelson Bay in Bad Company 2. First time I saw it happen was last night. One UAV fired rockets and the other had smoke equipped.
After I died I mentioned it to my squad and I was asked, “what are you smoking?” so I had to check this again!
So we had some great games of Bad Company 2 last night. I was playing for quite a bit with Mike and Duck and sent numerous invites to Tye. When I eventually bumped into him it wasn’t quite in the fashion I expected…
Got some great clips, but it also recorded our voice chat (well, except mine) so I need to configure the PS3 correctly to avoid that in the future. On the other hand, I’m glad I did get Mike’s frantic “Get him! Get him! Get him!” as I danced with an enemy in a small room with knifes out! I was laughing so much it’s probably a good thing I wasn’t recorded!
Edit: Here’s that knife dance. Warning, some of the game chat is NSFW. And a bonus clip too, a sniper montage by Mike!
The other night I had a great session of gaming with Duck, Conor, Tye and Mike. We played COD4 for about 2 hours, and originally Duck and I were going to use Skype but Conor didn’t have a nearby PC so we had to put up with the usual a**holes in the lobby. Not that there were many around, but one guy with his white noise was really annoying.
How’d we do? Mixed bag. We won a few, lost a few and I managed to get a 10 kill streak going in one game!
Hell of a Bad Company 2 gaming session last night with bigpresh and his friend (who I don’t remember right now). We rocked every game, winning almost all of them, and racking up the kills. I’m pretty sure we got best team in each game too.
After watching this video by Colin I decided to try the 40mm shotgun attachment but I really never got the chance to use it effectively. The one time I knew an enemy was waiting for me behind a corner I missed him and ended up knifing him. Then 2 of his squad mates showed up, I knifed one, and shot the other just as he shot me. It all happened so fast the second dog tags came up as I was respawning! Got a nice 300 points for that encounter!
In other news, if you’re RPGing an MCOM station on Nelson Bay, please make sure you check your corners. Thanks for the dog tags! 😉
My global KDR increased to 0.85, skill level plummeted to 1.75 (don’t care, gets me easier games in the future) and my KDR for the night was 1.59!
Great games.
Bad Company 2 Conquest went well tonight. First with Mike and then with Duck. We didn’t win every game but they were enjoyable and that’s the main thing isn’t it? Got the “Flag Attacker Pin” 3 times too. Capture 4 flags in a round.
The other night my brother called over and we played some split screen Halo Reach. Good fun in Firefight, and Duck joined us again. We were slaughtered when we joined a game of Swat Magnums. Ouch. Tye joined us just as we were logging off, so hopefully we’ll get a few games in another night.
Congrats David on getting 1000 subscribers to your channel. Great achievement and a testament to the entertaining videos you upload!
I rendered a Halo Reach game and while I did upload it to show a few people, I want to add some sort of commentary on it before I make it public. Here’s a tip for Linux users, who have a remote server and who render videos on Bungie Pro. Download the video from bungie.net on to your server. I used wget in an ssh session. It downloaded the full 515MB in a matter of minutes. Then launch Chrome, Firefox or your favourite browser from your server and display it on your desktop machine using the remote desktop ability in X and login to Youtube. Now hit the upload form and when you browse you’ll actually be browsing your server’s home directory! I uploaded that 515MB file in about 2 minutes. My home broadband would have been there all night doing that as the upload speed is much slower than download!
That was the funniest game of Bad Company 2. Only one defender on a game of Rush (and he eventually left) so we all loaded up with C4 and it was a race to blow the crates! The last crate was the best. Someone was dancing on the crate, spinning around and around like in Cardnumber7’s intro while 2 or 3 more players threw C4 on there for special effect. Oh how we laughed.
A following game on Isla against a team who piled helicopter after helicopter into the MCOM stations was a touch and go thing. As an engineer I stood in front of the first Alpha, heard the heli incoming, saw it and fired a rocket point blank range and got a vehicle destruction. It couldn’t have been more than a few feet from the ground! It was a really long game and they managed to push us right back to the last base. They took Bravo and Alpha was on it’s last legs. They had 29 tickets but we whittled them down, until we eventually won.
I went recon during that game just to unlock a few more items. I also got my “Long Service Surveillance Ops” pin for 100 motion mine assists. Had some fun with the SV98 too, getting a few noscope kills and I unlocked the sniper spotting scope. Good games with Tye, Mike, Duck and Conor.
Is the lag in Halo Reach coop as bad for anyone else as it is for me? Conor got himself an Xbox 360 and even though we’re separated by a matter of 20 miles or so the lag in Firefight and campaign coop was terrible!
Good game of Swat though! Skill matching rocks when you’re a noob! 🙂
I finished the single player campaign of Halo Reach and it was very enjoyable. Ending was…. well, good actually. Bit sad though, but it’s unlocked now for coop play. Make sure you watch through the credits. It’s worth it.
In other news, the lag monster attacked and destroyed a few games of Call of Duty WAW that myself, Mike and Conor had this evening. Sasben, hope the lag in MOH was better. Still, Mike and myself had one decent game of domination.
Everyone, leave a comment encouraging Mike to do a commentary. He’s a beast of a player and I for one would love to see him make use of that new PVR he has! 🙂
It was for a few games of Call of Duty WAW and Bad Company 2 that I switched on my PS3 last night. Mike joined me in a few coop games of the WAW campaign. It was a blast to play on hardened difficulty and all new to Mike as he hadn’t played the single player game at all.
Next up we joined a few games of Bad Company 2. The BC2 community is definitely getting smaller. Most games were not filled. Games were tough, but we had fun despite the fact our team wasn’t the greatest in the world. Tye joined us shortly afterwards, and we were constantly awarded the best squad medal.
Mike left before or during my last game which was a last tough one. We were defending on Arica harbour. Attackers used every trick possible to destroy the crates. They basically steamrolled through us until the end where we holed up. I smoked the area, and knocked the attackers down to about 11 tickets before the destroyed our last crate. We did well even if they did use C4.
Well, finally. It was bound to happen. I had a half decent game of Halo Reach! I went 8/10 in a game of Slayer DMRS (which I think is an assault rifle with a scope). Game was on the same level as the tips video in my last post and you can see fairly detailed stats on this page.
I had heard that the stats Bungie offers for Halo were good, but dive into the page above. You can see number of kills by weapon, medals earned (oooh, I got 2 multi kills), and even see a timeline of the game. I would dearly love if Bad Company 2 had something as comprehensive!
Thanks Breeduh for teaming up and playing. It was a blast!
Later – good couple of games of BC2 with Conor and Mike, and then COD WAW after. I like Capture the Flag. Went positive which is always good 🙂
