I just bought this game last night ($40 @ BB) and played a few rounds of Rush and Squad DM. I only noticed two very brief moments of rubber-banding, but other than that everything was smooth for me. fun game!

Most have stopped playing due to lag issues. I am not a consistent player since I have a 2mo old, but I was on tonight with 1 or 2 from here. Lots of lag though.

I was on last nite too and I didnt feel like playing it after I noticed my character still moving after I sat my controller down to answer the door. It was like he was drifting or something.

Hopefully the lag gets fixed and I can level up and get the gist of the gameplay down to compete or else get slaughtered.:mad:

Dead on. In the beta and the demo no lag first two updates messed it up bad. And your right it kicked the crap out of mw2 but it's such a disapointment to see how bad it is.

Pre-patch I felt when I died it was justified not it's robbery.

Absolutely zero lag for me last night (playing normal Rush).

For everyone that is experiencing lag, what modes are you playing? Are you playing hardcore?

SharpOne

I experience significant lag in both hardcore and normal rush modes.

Last night I played the onslaught mode, which was lag free...a nice surprise.

Onslaught was fun, but the enemy AI is a little cheap. Play the desert map on normal and you will see what I mean. Those jokers spam rockets like crazy.

I'll probably try hardcore tonight...should be interesting.

Ah-ha. I was having the zoom get stuck, movement get stuck while I was on the 50. cal last night, that was the first time that happened for me. Not to mention the helicopter I was shooting at was apparently teleporting entire helicopter lengths at a time...

I saw that "fix" and I guess I'll believe it when I see it. I'm so skeptical of things like this. I do hope it helps but I won't be shocked if it doesn't do anything.

This will work until everyone switches the UK. Then the lag will be horrible and everyone will switch to US again. Or maybe the excess of US players that are currently going onto the UK servers will even out both the UK and US servers. Who knows? Good luck.

I tried it also last evening (about 7:30 pacific, typically high lag time) and then about 10:30 pacific (usually steady, with lag on some nights).

I'd say I wasn't having any acute instances of high lag. I think on the American servers, you have very low pings, punctuated by sometimes frequent instances of high lag, which make it all the more noticeable. I think on the UK server (if this fix actually switched me to their servers, there's been no confirmation from EA that this does anything at all) I had a higher, though acceptable, ping time, but without the lag spikes. So I think play was just barely perceptibly slower, but steady. I could go up stairs. Shoot the helicopter with the .50 cal, etc. I'll evaluate it some more and see what I like better.

Even on the US servers, when I was playing at say 11pm-1am pacific, I would frequently be playing with Aussies and New Zealanders, so who knows what servers I was on then.

I'm sure you guys have seen this....but:

I am happy about the warm welcome I received from you guys and hopefully this is the beginning of something GREAT!

This is the latest update on the lag issue on the NA servers.

The DEV team have been working hard to find a solution to this issue for quite some time now and we think that we have a possible fix now that will roll out gradually over the next few days as the console servers are currently undergoing maintenance in North America to resolve the lag issues being experienced.

PlayStation 3 maintenance is complete with Xbox 360 servers being maintained during today on servers that empty to avoid disrupting your game sessions in progress. If you are in America and Canada you can set your EA profile to your country of residence to connect to your local servers which should be lag free once again when maintenance is complete. Report any continued lag issues to us on our forums http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk.

I would also like to add that the BFBC2 PC patch is currently still in development and we have sent it for STEAM compatibility testing today. All being well the patch will be released early next week. For information on what the patch fixes take a look at the changelog on the official forums at http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk.

I would also like to announce every Wednesday from now on to be “Community Wednesdays” where I will give you guys a weekly update in the form of a blog post, but also in forums and a direct link to this on the official BFBC2 twitter account at http://twitter.com/OfficialBFBC2 .

In these community Wednesday posts I will supply you with information regarding the game.

It's sort of unclear from that if the PS3 servers have already been patched, or if the fix will be rolled out in the next few days, as they say maintenance is complete on the PS3 servers. I guess I'll switch my profile back to US and give it a shot. I'll be pretty happy if it is fixed.

Maybe some of us wouldn't have already sold the game if they had clearly made it known that they were working on fixing the lag. Within the last month I only recall a lot of hype for server maintenance (whatever that means), "new" maps, Onslaught, and Vietnam. I wish they flat out said a long time ago "we know about the lag and are working hard to fix it." Or maybe they did and I just missed it....?

As I stated once before, there was a sticky thread on the official BFBC2 forums about them working on the lag.

Anyhow, I played for a few hours last night and it was relatively lag free. I never did the "fix" so it appears that maybe they have fixed it?

Yes, I switched back to US, and played it last night, and didn't have any lag issues. I played one round during peak hours, and then a couple rounds later on, both were good.

Agreed. I never stopped playing like a lot of you but I have to admit, there were nights that I must have screamed every curse word I know because the lag pissed me off so much.

I've played for a few days now without any lag what so ever. I've gotten kicked twice but no lag. This game is awesome with no lag.

I've been playing since they fixed the lag... actually more than usual becomes my in-laws are visiting so playing is an easy way to ignore them. I've gotten kicked a couple times but nothing more than usual. The lag or lack of is back to the level it was when they first launched the game which is fantastic.

I forget if other people were successful at this. But I got the award for getting all weapon bronze stars last night. I hadn't linked my account from BF2 to get the Garand till after the last patch, and I apparently hadn't bothered to use the Thompson (although I thought I had), so I started both of those guns from zero, but the kills registered correctly to each gun, and I rotated through the five guns I needed to bronze on till I had them all last night. I can't really bring myself to play any other games now that this is lag free. I still have AC2 and Demon's Souls to finish, as well as the SP portion of this game, I'm not sure when I'll get around to them. I'll probably have enough drive to finish the SP campaign once I trophy the 20 demolish kills. At 7 right now, I just have to remember to focus on that, usually I'm just trying to win the round.

Yeah, it would be cool if they added some of the classic maps from earlier in the series, like Karkand, Sharqui, Wake Island, or Road to Jalabad from BF2. I could see Karkand working well for Rush mode with the first set of crates near the Hotel flag, and working through the flag positions till you end up at an epic battle across the waterfront. Starting a Rush map off of an aircraft carrier, like on Wake would be pretty epic also.

I am definitely enjoying Atacama Desert more as a Rush map than I did as a Conquest map.

I noticed that the new Atacama Rush and Port Valdez Conquest maps are available on all of the accounts on my PS3, not just the account that the VIP code was entered under. This happened with all of the other VIP content just BEFORE the last big patch. I was just curious if these new maps are available for people who don't have a VIP code at all, or if they just fixed the system so that all user's of a system where the game was purchased new can use the content that was bought? Has anyone on here purchased the game used and not bought a VIP code, or perhaps know someone in that situation to confirm this?

I'm pretty sure they opened up the VIP content to all users on the ps3 as long as one has a valid VIP code, but that is not confirmed, just what I heard 3rd hand.

I think I made a foolish mistake and wasted money because I paid the $10 for the Onslaught package thinking that the two of us would be able to play split screen co op. I am not able to find a way to do it so have to assume it is not possible. This brings me to the question of....

Can someone explain any advantages of playing Onslaught over regular online play because it seems no different than being in a regular online squad with friends except that you aren't playing against real people but the AI characters. Am I missing something?

The primary benefit is that it allows for less challenging, but story-driven gameplay with online friends. If it was split-screen co-op, I would buy it right up.

Hey, here's something I just thought of, since it's only playable co-op online, do any friends you want to play with have to buy it too, or can you invite them into an Onslaught mode game if you start it?

I do really wish it was split-screen co-op, that was the best part of the first Resistance.

I feel you. I've been in countless games where I some how make to the objective on almost every spawn, yet no one else seems to. I'm pretty good but I don't think I'm that much better than everyone else. Often I able to Arm but most of the time I end up getting killed and they disarm since I'm alone. It's frustrating at times to say the least. Especially when the rest of my squad won't even spawn on me after I plant. I just don't understand it.

LOL... I much prefer HC only because it doesn't take as many bullets to kill someone. It has it's drawbacks in that a lot of people like to hide in bushes and snipe the entire duration of the round. Makes it very difficult if you're playing Rush mode and 80% of your team is sniping.

Play the game enough and you can pretty much find campers no matter where they're hiding.

No killcam = awesome... makes communicating with your squad that much more important.

no spotting = same as no killcam

no minimap = same as no spotting

playing on normal makes me want to throw the controller through the TV because of how many bullets/clips it takes to bring down an enemy. Not to mention the "auto-heal" has got to be the most annoying feature in multiplayer FPS.

I guess I just liked SOCOM way too much and that's why I prefer hard core mode.

Loved the demo when it was out... but getting into this game this late has major consequences... I was playing thru my bro-in-law's account and i was getting my arse handed to me. Most kills i ever accomplished was 2 (I was getting at least 10 kills a round during the demo).... hardly lived longer than 30secs before getting shot dead, sometimes unable to get out of the spawn point base. Even true when i'm able to get in a tank (smaller gun type)... Quit after an hour of playing as canon fodder.

... Battlefield: Bad Company 2 developer announced this morning that VIP Map Pack 7 will include four new(ish) multiplayer maps: Heavy Metal, Cold War, Oasis, and Harvest Day. If the latter two maps sound familiar, it's because they're updated versions of maps that appeared in the original Bad Company ...

So back to BFBC2 and wait for the new map pack.

Dude... I'm in the same boat. I think I am at rank 44 so you're still like 2 months ahead of me at the rate I am going. Mind you, I typically only play 1 night a week bu I play for about 4-5 hours that night.

And I also don't stink. I play a lot of rush and routinely have double kills to death, I arm and disarm a lot, I play whatever class I am running well too. But when I compare my hours played to my friends, I have about half if not a third of what most of them have banked.

Well, it does seem to have people talking about it (you've posted twice about it now). I know with the other map packs that were announced without a release date, I occasionally checked the in-game store before or after I played to see if there was a date yet, and each time I had to scroll past the Spec-ops packs, and occasionally thought about buying them. They have made an announcement on their blog (basically free) that brings people into their store where they might make an impulse buy. Free, highly targeted, effective marketing. Brilliant. :cool: so brilliant, I have to wear shades. :D

I'm in the medical device industry. Different animal all together than software but the worst thing we can do is announce the release date of a new product that is in development. Very few projects get completed on the expected date. There is way too much risk of pissing people off by publishing expected release dates. Also, if we tell people that "X" product will be released in the Spring, it may cause a person that was going to purchase our current product to wait until the new product is released. Worse yet, in that time, some circumstance may occur that causes the person not to purchase either product.

You have to look at this from the business perspective, not just the consumers.

Looks like a big patch tonight/tomorrow.

Seems like they're keeping the suspense up regarding a release date for the new Map Pack too. Sweet! I love surprises.

"As the title suggests, there is an update for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 coming for the PS3 platform, and it contains multiple changes to the game. This update is also in preparation for our upcoming VIP Map Pack 7 and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam, which explains the size of it.

We are working hard on getting these fixes out for both PC and Xbox 360 as well, so in the coming days, look for updates on those platforms as well.

Sometime tomorrow the update will be deployed and will be downloadable for everyone starting up their PS3. PS3 players might encounter some temporary outages or suffer from lag during the server updates (between GMT 00:01 2010-11-24 and GMT 00:01 2010-11-25).

Here is a complete list of all the fixes in this update:
- Acog and Red dot scope now equippable on MK-14 and G3.
- Fixed a bug on PC where the G3 would do less damage than intended.
- Reduced VADS push back and damage to balance it with the ZU23.
- Fixed a bug where Vehicle Countermeasures would fail to remove tracer darts at high speed.
- Reduced the reload time for Vehicle Countermeasures.
- Slightly increased the AT4's damage vs armor to emphasize its anti vehicle role while keeping it balanced vs armor.
- Increased the AT4’s top speed and acceleration so users spend less time exposed when firing.
- Increased the AT4's splash damage so it competes with other AT weapons vs infantry. The AT4 still has the least splash damage of all AT weapons.
- Reduced the splash damage of the Carl Gustav to bring it in line with other explosive weapons. The Carl Gustav still has the most splash damage of all AT weapons.
- Increased the 1 shot kill range of the M95 body shot to counter its lower rate of fire.
- Fixed a bug with the SVU that gave it better close range damage than other semi auto weapons.
- Reduced all weapon damage to the MCOM by 50%.
- Fixed a C4 vs MCOM exploit on Atacama Desert.
- Fixed a bug with FOV when aiming the M1911.
- Lowered the close range damage of the AN94 to highlight its long range role.
- Increased the accuracy of the F2000 on the move to highlight its role as a mobile AR.
- Increased the close range damage of the shotguns to give them a greater advantage vs slugs.
- Slightly lowered the damage of the M60 to balance its accuracy advantage vs other LMGs.
- Slightly lowered the damage of the MG3 at close range to balance it with other high rate of fire weapons.
- Slightly increased the damage of the UH6

If you have any questions regarding the patch, feel free to contact me on my Twitter.

Peace!"

I pretty much stopped playing it for now too. I started playing MOH and picked up COD4 to see what the hype was about. Both fun. I'll enjoy playing some new maps on BC2 though... It was a little hard to get back into it when I tried playing all 3 one night to compare them all. Although there are some things I don't like about MOH (spawn system, stacking powerups, snipefest sometimes) it does seem to have a more visceral feel, that made BC2 feel a little more wooden going back to it. I'm looking forward to the Vietnam pack also though. Currently I've just been trying to work through AC2 to get it finished before starting Brotherhood...

i'm not looking for call of duty type knifing. but when i walk up behind a sniper and stab him in the head, it'd be nice if he died. lol.

and the fix to the m-coms is good, i guess. i guess because some of them are in collapsible buildings, so once that comes down, that m-com is done. then again, i can't remember any rush maps that had both m-coms inside of collapsible buildings.

btw, does anyone know what the uh6 is? is it the transport chopper with the mini guns? if so, that would be great because it's pretty hard to get a kill with those things.

they must have meant uh-60.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam can finally toss away that pesky "Winter 2010" release window to celebrate an official December 21, 2010, launch date. The expansion will also be available a little earlier on PC "exclusively" through the EA Store and Steam on December 18. Not only that, but DICE has rolled out a double dose of good news, noting the free VIP Map Pack 7 will hit on December 1.

Not happy with a lot of the crate placements on Oasis and Harvest Day. I understand placing them outside, so buildings cant destroy them, but they placed them were if they get armed, its way to easy to pick off the person disarming from a mile away. People were just blowing through Harvest Day, which in BC1, was one of the harder maps to win. I dont like all crates being on ground level or outside, and thats what they did on these maps.

finally some new content. i only played heavy metal and oasis so far. but they're both good. oasis being the superior of the two, imo.

they also need to add a few AA guns to the map in oasis... a good chopper pilot will rape that map for ever since no AA guns to be found at all

i believe there are a few of them on oasis. i know one is on the 2nd stage (stage with the bridge) - it would be on the right between the buildings and the mountains (in front of the tank spawn). there is also another one in the 3rd or 4th stage on the left, between the buildings and the swamp.

i'm fairly certain there is one in each stage, but i don't recall the others.

Heavy Metal could use some in the bases. We ended up getting trapped in a base by a rank 50 in a chopper. Two of them at first, but even the one was just raping the spawn areas. It was ridiculous. Spawn, die, repeat. It's those rank 50 guys that are the problem, they should just ban them :D

I play on 360, but we had a similar problem last night on HM. The worst part about it was that it was a private match we setup and a few level 50's crashed the party!

That map is all about....here you go, now go have some fun! Reminds me of Coral Sea from BF1943, with the addition of more vehicles.

I can confirm that there is a AA gun on the right facing the attackers spawn when defending the second set of objectives. I sat back and killed a bunch of infantry with it when we first played. I never played BC1, so this was a pretty awesome new map.

All of the new maps have so many flipping buildings. Could be a nightmare later on, but it's fun now.

are you running wireless internet? if so, then you're probably having connection issues.

and i also like bc2 better than cod. but black ops is new and has a faster pace, so i've been playing it every night. but the lag issues need to be fixed. i'm tired of getting knifed by people that aren't even looking at me.

At this point, I just don't think they can get the PS3 COD:BO lag fixed. It got to be such a hassle I finally gave up and sold it on eBay. With the new maps, I am enjoying BFBC2 again. Nice to play a game a couple hours without getting constantly kicked offline or having my PS3 seize up.

I purchased black ops on day one and still haven't played it yet. I think bc2 is more fun than the cod games. I'll probably complete the black ops single player and then craigslist it.

Ahh Harvest Day and Oasis...very fond, fond memories. That truely stinks about the crate placement. Effective teamwork and rapid/elusive forward movement was critical to that map because of some of the difficult crate locations. And with Oasis...holding at the offense for a while at the first set of crates was critical. Anti-tank mines/RPGs were our best allies back in BC1. I still miss BC1, but not enough to make me buy BC2.

Hey All
I haven't played at all since last spring and I think that was for only 15 minutes or so. I got the Pre-Release version was wondering if anyone could give the the low down on the various upgrades/map packs and their costs that I would need to get to have a good experiance playing again. (I'm at work so I have limited access to gaming sites for reference)

Thx

Got the Vietnam pack up and running this morning and played a couple conquest rounds. So far I really like the new maps and enjoy the change. My only complaint is when you spot the little orange triangle is darker than the main BFBC2 maps and a little hard to see against the dark foliage in these maps.

I'm a boob. I thought it was going to be a separate game like 1941. Didn't realize I had to have BFBC 2 running in order to play it. Still, finally got it going last night, and am now painfully tired at work.

this is terrible.

gamestats no work. playing against people who already are level 31!?!?

killin someone takes ages. somehow in vietam era people were 10 times stronger as today. because i remember shooting someone in battlefield 2 killed somebody with 1 or 2 shots. or maybe everybody in the games is Barnes from Platoon?

a pistol is twice as strong as an AK-47.

that said i do have a lot of fun. but i cant wait until they patch this game.

oh and somebody run past me while i was zoomed inw ith an AK47. noway his leg movement would be faster then my arms. what is up with that . Usain bolt in vietnam?

Hey guys I was wondering if you could help me out. I run the Battlefield community site Planet Battlefield. It's actually been linked a couple times in other Battlefield threads on here. They are holding a best community site vote on the EA UK forums. We are losing pretty bad and need votes. All you need to do is login with your EA account (same one you use for Battlefield or any other EA game) and vote for us. Thanks.

Hello, everyone

I downloaded the Vietnam expansion pack the other day, while i loving the new maps an weapons is anyone having any problems with their stats ?
The problem I'm having is the game doesn't seem to be keeping track of my kills, points basically all my stats. the game doesn't to be keeping track of my progression since i dl Vietnam.
Also I don't have all my weapons and gadgets available. Sometimes i do sometimes i don't. It varies from game to game an even within a game.

I read on another forum that your new points and stats are being recorded, just sometimes not shown as they are having server load problems. Mine come and go also.

01-25-11, 05:06 PM
it can sometimes take up to 5 days before your stats are updated.

that said i cant stop playing this damn game. it is so much fun. have already got all vietnam thropies. now trying to get platinum on my M40. i just love snipering on hardcore mode. 1 bullet kill. that is how this should be.

will probably play this until killzone 3 comes out.
