I have no illusions that this might make me a better player but it might make it easier to be a bad player. 🙂

After last night’s brilliant performance on PC, which was interrupted by my taking down a helicopter with an unguided RPG I have a new goal in the game.
KDR is all important to most players, despite what they’ll tell you about playing the objective and all that sort of thing. It has to be because you don’t want to be losing firefights all the time, right? It’s no fun spawning on the recon back in your base that has only 1 kill by the end of the game is it?
Wrong! I’m well on the way there already so my goal is a 0.01 KDR!
Sometimes of course enemy soldiers will walk in front of my bullets and stay there long enough to fall over in a funny way but it doesn’t happen very often. Still plenty of opportunity for me to support my team as a medic, assault or engineer of course. (Recon doesn’t count, I never play that role anyway.)
Who’s joining me? (Certain scenes from the Life of Brian flash though my head right there, you’ll know what I mean if you’ve seen it!) I’m docaoimh on Steam, donncha on PC BfBC2 and whenever I play PC games the preferred method of chat is Skype but I have mumble installed too if that’s your thing.
Catch you (or probably not because you’ll sneak up on me) on the Battlefield!
Monday Night Combat is 33% off now on Steam, and it’s free to play until Sunday next. Restart your Steam client and the news popup will have a link to download the game.
I played the game with Tye a few weeks back and was less than enamored with it but who’s up for some gaming this weekend in it?
I played a few games of Bad Company 2 with Tyewebb this evening and while my gameplay was nothing to write home about, Tye did a bit better!
Woah, so there is a stats API for Bad Company 2! It’s powered by bfbcs.com who of course throttle it but at least it’s there. EA only give API access to a select group of sites so this is a boon. Thanks Reddit guys!
I feel a WordPress plugin might be worth coding to access this.
Hot Digity! I did well in BC2 Vietnam this evening, and on PC too!
In my first game got a quad spray through the walls of a hut, and then tore apart the other team in a tank. I led the leaderboard with a 11/4 KDR. Could not believe it. I swear, some players should practise flying helicopters more. They practically line themselves up to be shot out of the sky with a tank shell..
Very enjoyable 45 minutes of play and I’m level 6 now!
In case you’re wondering, my consoles have been disconnected because of home renovation. No Xbox or PS3 for me for maybe another week. 🙁
Just for a little fun. A tower of TNT in the world of Minecraft makes a great explosion but you have to be careful of projectile bombs in case they fly at you! I made a backup of the world just in case I damaged any of the buildings close by. Luckily that didn’t happen. Phew!
Commentary was done with the help of my son Adam, his first one ever!
Looks pretty sweet. Graphics aren’t as good as Bad Company 2 but gameplay is more varied and it’s going to be free.
I’ve had an invite to the beta for the past few weeks. ‘Bout time I used it!
I’ve never noticed the aim assist in Bad Company 2 but apparently it’s there and this video shows how bad it is. PC players are right! Console players suck! 😉
Thanks RDTTeamAwesome for posting this informative video, and to drmb for blogging it. I just don’t have the time these days to watch all the BfBC2 videos out there and they post some of the best to their blog!
