Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and BF:1943 - Page 10

There's one in the first also. I thought the tanks were suppose to have the secondary machine gun fire like in 1943 with the R2 button. Didn't they show that in one of the videos they showed before the beta or am i just imagining that?

Get a load of this.

Played some BFBC2 late last night to find out that somehow I had to start from the beginning again from private. I was at level 11 which I think is silver sargent, sucks that I gotta put more time in to get back those weapons and gear that was hard enough for me to get. Has this happened to anyone else?

Anyone try it..

That's pretty ****ing hilarious. I wonder what the guy was thinking when he saw the kill cam. lol

That doesn't help. I like being in a squad. It let's me spawn at my squadmates location and earn a few more medals. Sometimes I just don't wanna hear em. Forming a new squad isn't a substitute for a mute player option.

They put "Epic Fail" on the screen when you die? That alone kills my interest for this game.

Only when you kill yourself. And yes, it's annoying as hell. I'm aware 4chan b-tard culture has been confused as the general language used among people who play videogames, but it's not. It's stupid and annoying and developers incorporating it into their games is almost as infuriating as Infinity Ward's "F.A.G.S." viral video they personally made to promote MW2.

On a separate note I think I'm burned out on this beta now. Still love it and will probably be buying the full game on release day but there's only so many times you can play the same game mode on one map in a four day span before growing weary of it. The bummer of it is I can't get back into Uncharted 2 now

well that's about the only thing wrong with this game, so if that kills it for you you must hate all games

Ha! If you've ever seen me play, you'd know that's not the case. I run around like a maniac! I only wish for prone when trying to get behind cover from snipers.

I've been mainly playing as a medic, sprinting around like crazy healing and reviving people (sprinting saves me from being sniped too!). It seems if there isn't a good medic, we get smoked. Support is key in this game. Score a ton of points from being a medic or engineer too. Unfortunately, half the team always wants to snipe - wish there was a limit to the number of snipers per team.

Loving this game. Such a tease that we get this one map and won't be seeing any more for almost 5 months.

Yeah, I'm torn on this too.

Snipers in 1943 were just about useless because it was 2 shot kills and it's hard enough to hit someone 1000-2000 yards away for most people, let alone headshots. Especially with a bolt action rifle!

But one shot kills bring out everyone that wants to snipe.

This game has perks, so maybe it should get an juggernaut perk like COD, giving you 125% health to balance out sniper 1 hit kills?

Only thing else I can think of is class restrictions on snipers that scale with the number of players. But then you run into problems with bad players getting the class and not using it well, and hurting the team overall.

The only 1 shot kills in this game are headshots. It always takes me 2 shots to the body to take someone out with the SV98 or M24

Sniping in this game is fun and challenging with the bullet drop, but I'm basically only play a sniper so I can unlock the mortar strike. Basically i'm sniper on Offense and engineer on defense.

I really like when you get a 'marksman headshot' and your guy starts talking **** its hilarious

crazy game......

3 freezes in two days of playing though.. anyone else freezing or is it my PS3 on its way out?

I would like to try other classes other than engineer but feel naked without an RPG to counter the never ending tank convoys....lol....tanks control way differently now and take forever to repair lol.......Is the soft part of the tank still in the back and the turret? I blind fire my RPG and hope I get 30% damage but only get it about 30% of the time lol.


The UAV chopper is fun as hell .......Although being on the receiving end of that thing blows.....Anyone try to flank the UAV site and kill the guy controlling it? That would be rewarding lol......

OH ya getting put in a squad with 3 snipers on a mountain 1 mile away from the action is soooooooo frustrating.....EPIC FAIL..and Guarantee LosS


I wish there were other game modes as I can see this getting old like the last one.

Fun as hell though...EPIC WIN in my book

The game froze once on me so far. I started up a UAV and didn't get 20 feet off the ground before I saw a guy running up on my position so I tried to bail out before I got knifed in the back. Instead the screen just froze, couldn't even pull up the XMB. Could still here the scripted dialogue from the UAV though, pretty funny stuff.

As for killing the guy piloting the UAV? There are few things more satisfying than sneaking behind enemy lines and putting a knife in that bastard's back. Sucks when it happens to you though.

I've been flanked a few times at the UAV site, and expect it more often now that people are figuring it out.

I've also had a freeze, but it worked itself out after a few seconds.

I never thought of bullet drop coming into play until I started realizing the effects on rockets and shells. I rarely snipe (when I do, it's to snipe snipers), but I need to start compensating for it. Using the recon class you start with, it's been taking me two shots, and most of the time I can't get the 2nd one off in time from reloading. I did pick up a kit that wasn't bolt action and got about 5 quick kills in a row with it. Might have to work towards opening that rifle up.

Some of the unlockables seem like they are going to take forever to open up.

I've had multiple freezes, none were apparent what caused it. Usually in my 2nd or third game.

Probably just some bad Beta code that they need to work out. 1943 never froze on me.

Pro tip = you can light up things on your teammates and your screen + minimap by hitting the select button when targetting said object.

Great for those camoflague tanks hiding! I also think you get points if your teammates kill it when its lit up.

Yeah, I've been trying to tell all my squadmates that tip, it helps so much!

I am using the sniper like crazy, I want to unlock the scope which automatically does the "select" button press for you, as soon as they are in your sights, their location is called out to the team.

Headshots are very rewarding, aiming a bit above the head is key, and I love leading a running enemy, and getting the headshot when they are in a full out sprint.. :-D

I have had one freeze up, I was piloting a tank, and in 3rd person view, I was reversing over some chain link fence and it just went black. I had to hold the power button on the console to get the PS3 to turn off. This was particularly infuriating, as I was near the top of the leaderboard that round! Oh well, thats why it's a Beta!

Almost forgot to comment on the mics... They seem to work quite well in squads, however sometimes, if a player leaves the squad, I can still hear them for a while.. Either that or there was a squad bug which made all my squadmates disappear from my squad respawn menu..

Played a lot this weekend and the game froze on me 3 times too.

I started out using the engineer class to battle the tanks as well, but after unlocking the tommy gun and a good shotgun, I switched over to the sniper class. With the tommy gun, playing as a sniper is almost the same as using the specialist class in Bad company 1 (because of the C4). You are at a bit of a disadvantage though, because you can't upgrade the tommy gun.

Also, after unlocking the MRTR-5, collapsing a building with a crate in it is pretty easy and you can do it from a safe distance too. I haven't even unlocked the 4x sniper scope yet, but I'm sure that some people already have the 12X scope. I've been sniped by people I know the exact location of, but can't even see them with my puny scope because they are so far away.

Right now, the assault class has a glitch where the smoke grenade perk is actually C4 -- so you can use that class to battle tanks too.

If you are stuck in a sniper squad that refuses to engage, you can leave it and try to find another one. If another isn't available, you are better off joining in on the sniping or just quitting the game and finding a new one.

I agree with ballen420, that some of the perks seem a lot harder to unlock than the first game. This could result in some very uneven matchups. People who form clans and take the game seriously will have an even bigger advantage over the weekend warrior. I really didn't find the ultimate weapon unlocks in the first game to be significantly better than the default ones. This is no longer the case with some of these high level perks.

Did not know this. Thanks.

I was just trying to shoot at them, regardless of whether I could hit them or not, so my teammates would see them on their map. Select seems a little safer. You do get 20 points for someone killing them.

I was trying to figure out why i had the C4... man the assualt with C4 is awesome!

I have the 4x scope, but yeah the 12x ... darn that must be fun to be soo far away tehy cant hit you at all.

I have to say that I'm really not liking how they have changed the control layout. I tried to give it a chance and get used to it, but I much prefer having the gadget selection mapped to L2 rather than the d-pad. Also, the 1st/3rd person vehicle perspective swap was much more natural using R3. I hope there are options to change this in the full game.

I love the new spotting function, but it should be moved to the start button, rather than having it mapped to select.

Agreed. The good news is that it's actually just a little over 3 months away. Still a little too far off either way.

Yes, my bad...I was thinking it was coming out in May. I think this game has solidified my decision to skip out on MAG.

I'm really enjoying this game, but it's tough converting some of my friends over from MW2. Most don't seem to get that it's not all about K/D ratio in this game, and their seems to be a longer learning curve then COD games. Snipers aren't helping either.

Anyone playing this game can feel free to add me. It would be nice to roll in a 4 player squad. I almost always have the mic going (except late night or when it's charging - sorry Sonies, it was charging when you jumped in the other day).

I got the 4x scope for recon, and the marksman bullets, bullet drop is much less, almost non-existent. It's actually harder for me to snipe now since I got so used to the bullet drop.

Dear DICE:

This is your 3rd Battlefield game on the PS3,
FIX THE GODDAMN MICS!!!

So annoying! This is not a game like UC2 or MW2 where you can be successful as a team by a bunch of people playing solo. You need coordination and communication. I hate not being able to talk!

Um it works for me... And Harpua, don't worry about the mic I use the PSeye (I hope it wasn't annoying for you) and I can barely hear people talking over my subwoofer cranking out explosions at 100+db The sound in this game is sooooooo good

I think I need to get a bluetooth headset for christmas!

I've had no problems with the mics in this game. I've probably put in around 6-8 hours of play too.
