2 quick tips for Bad Company 2

So here I am sitting in a beautiful room looking out onto Dingle Harbour in County Kerry. The weather has unfortunately been less than favourable, but at least the rain has retreated and low cloud covers the waterfront. A stiff breeze blows but does nothing to move the seemingly perpetual mist.

What am I doing? I’m looking at Bad Company 2 videos on Youtube! Three cheers for free hotel wifi! Here’s two excellent tip and guide productions from BadCompany2Training.

The little window on two story houses marks the stairs, and where you should blow the wall to gain access, plus maybe kill an enemy or two.

And an in-depth guide to destroying buildings with C4. Love the bit about planting the C4 high to destroy the walls on both floors. Dave blogged another of their videos showing a sneaky way to get into an attic. Wonderful stuff. We played that level but unfortunately someone nabbed the quad bike and got to Alpha before us!

Surviving an earthquake in Bad Company 2

This has to be the strangest bug in Bad Company 2. Every destructable building on Isla was spontaneously destructed and lay flattened after a few seconds.

It’s not C4 planted in each building as even the crate at Bravo 2 was gone despite the fact the location graphic was still visible. Reminds me of the bug I reported a few days ago.

The Return of 'Allo 'Allo

Sometimes I’m glad I look in my spam folder. I spotted this delightful email subject:

Important massage from Federal Ministry of Finance

It reminded me of the BBC sitcom, ‘Allo ‘Allo which anyone living in the UK or Ireland and probably further afield will immediately recognise. Luckily I found this video of clips from the “Return of” show aired in 2007. Hilarious stuff!

Bad Company 2 Onslaught

Onslaught has just been announced. It’s a coop game for Battlefield Bad Company which sounds really interesting.

Onslaught is bringing co-op gameplay to Battlefield for the first time on console. The new game mode puts you and up to three friends against the enemy on Valparaiso, Atacama Desert, Isla Inocentes and Nelson Bay – redesigned with new lighting, time of day, added vehicles and other effects. Each map has a dedicated gameplay focus, requiring different levels of teamwork in order to complete the objectives against an onslaught of enemy AI. Vehicle warfare comes to the forefront in Atacama Desert while Nelson Bay focuses squarely on infantry assault. Players can compete in squads and check individual progress via the dedicated Onslaught leaderboards.


(The video is nothing special, 1/3 of it is company logos!)

The one fly in the ointment is that it won’t be free. If it gets good reviews and if my friends on PSN and Xbox Live want to buy it I’ll probably pick it up.

Unfortunately if you’re on PC, you’re out of luck due to the way they’ve deployed/designed their servers.

Bad Company 2 Montage – Invaders Must Die

Gavin has just released his first Bad Company 2 montage video. It’s an impressive montage of sniper and tank action.

Unfortunately his site isn’t loading for me (something weird with my dns and his site) and I left a comment but it didn’t post. Honest Gavin! I did!

I loved his takedown of the helicopters, but the opening scene is a little too long. Great video nonetheless.

Rocking Rush, the video

Geoff posted a new Bad Company 2 video yesterday evening, one in which Dave and myself feature. The clip of the attack on a crate in Laguna Presa was one we played a few weeks back. I was across the road laying down smoke but eventually got spotted by an assault guy.

The other team were seriously good, and I think they held us off the next base. (Thanks Dave for the heads up. I hadn’t checked Youtube yet this morning!)
