AVS Top Picks

I think the automatics all kick upwards when you fire them, so the spray of bullets starts to angle upwards... so if you begin by aiming over the head of someone with your machine gun, you'll only hit with your first bullet or so before you start shooting sky. Just a guess.

And I totally agree Matt, I don't like this AVS v. AVS stuff, more fun when we're all on the same side.

I'm 95% certain that shotguns w/ slugs are unaffected by gravity. They are the perfect anti-sniper. All the others you mentioned are correct though.

Its still a lot more fun destroying randoms with the AVS'ers.

Yea, we were getting owned. I was with RobertR1, FerrisG, and someone else. At least we won one before I went to bed. How come I can only spawn on to these four guys, when I had 10 people on my team. You can only spawn with people in your squad?

Was this a private room or public, or there is no such thing. I like it when I join someone's game. It puts you right into the squad. On the other hand, getting stuck in the squad is not always a good thing. Like respawn. I rather have more people to spawn to. Can I get out of the squad once I'm in it?

you can only spawn on your squad or at the base, your choice.

you can leave a squad in the start menu, you can also form a squad and invite players to the squad.

there are private and public rooms.... we should have started a private room with all of the people we had, but it was a normal public room, i think for most of the night there were a max of 2 or 3 randoms, everyone else was AVS or friends of AVS.

the night started out 12 on 4 and i just simply got annihilated, so i didnt mind owning the rest of you for about the remainder of the night, a little payback , after that the teams were even for the most part around 10v10, at one point i looked and i saw it was 9v11, but other than that it seemed to be pretty balanced, at least as far as the number of players, i was a little worried with robert, zunderholz, sal and quasi on the other team though.

and HK, you might not have been at the top of the list all night, but i never would have known it was your first time online.

That was about the hardest fight I've had in this game. You guys know how to attack.

Is anybody around their Xbox to check the EA store in the game menu and see if the Dr. Pepper promotion items are available now? They're supposed to be available today, but so far the Dr. Pepper site still doesn't have anything on BC2.

Also, wasn't the new skins/achievements/etc scheduled for release today?

Yeah I'm pretty sure its all the same content. I'm wondering if you can actually access it through the store in the game menu?

I was having fun on Valpairaso attacking with the bradley from directions they don't normally come from. Scared the crap out of some of my teammates straddling the cliff coming around to flank your base at the 2nd section, lol.

Someone on our team said "there's a Bradley attacking B", so I ran over to the road RPG in hand only to get shot by your gunner from behind. I must have run right past you.

lol, yeah, I was parked between the back of your base and B. Most of your team was up at the front of your base.

I was determined not to get anti-tank mined so I was going all out of the way to get places. In the first section I just drove up to the hill and started pounding B, everyone else always drives down the right hand road into the base and gets blown up.

Of course I had Dallas repairing the hell out of me from RPG strikes, although if you guys had dropped a mortar I'd have been gone cause I was bound and determined I wasn't moving until B went down.

Couple questions...

So what's the deal with the veteran.battlefield.com website? If you've played previous BF games [I've only done BF1943] it unlocks a weapon for you? Website always saying it's 'being updated' though...

I've been trying to get a bronze star for all my weapons... But for the M1A1 Thompson, when I look at it on the 'weapons' page in the game it has not registered any kills for it. Seems to be a common problem:

GameFaqs Forum Post on Thompson problem

I read on Monday that they were expecting to have it back up anytime. They've had big problems getting it to work properly and hopefully when they do get it back up it will work right. I think I read that they were working on an update to fix the Thompson/Garand issues. Apparently now if you have the Garand it registers your kills for the Thompson.

On the Veteran website you register previous Battlefield games you played. When you have 2 games, you have a veteran status of 1 which in BC2 unlocks the M1 Garand. That's what those white boxes mean that are next to some people's name on the match stats screen. They're supposed to be filled in with a number based on your veteran status but that seems like it need to be fixed also...

I also noticed the issue with M1A1 Thompson stats... When the game first came out I used it almost exclusively and I'd bet would have gold star, but instead it shows as zero kills and zero time played. I'm hoping this will be fixed eventually on backend at some point.

Saw a bunch of folks early last night playing Squad DM. Dropped into a match for a minute, but no one was mic'ed, so I left. What do you guys think of it? Personally, I don't think the BFBC2 engine is well-suited to the twitchy nature of deathmatch, but who knows? it could be fun.

I've played it and enjoyed it as a change of pace. Like the other game types, you definitely want to squad up with friends to play.

big orange, sir jon and I played a few rounds and I'll tell you this, it's much different feel than Rush but still damn fun in a different way. bigorange did mention he sent u an invite, but maybe it put you in a different squad.

Rules are pretty simple, 4 squads of 4 all killing each other and first team to 50 kills wins. They also have one vehicle on the map that everyone is scrambling for. The last round I played with them before dinner we dominated the first half of match in the Abrams, and once we lost the tank we mopped some waves of infantry for the win. Even though you don't regain tickets from reviving, it seems the respawn timer is much longer than Rush so helpful to get your squad back into the action sooner to get more kills

So far I prefer Rush out of the all modes, but it's good to mix it up! The night previous we also tried out Conquest for a bit and that's more suited for our typically larger AVS parties if you guys want to change it up IMHO.

Ladder shopping has to be the equivalent of like battery shopping or something..

Hmm, do I go with these Rayovacs or pay extra for Duracell....decisions, decisions.

Sorry, a tad off topic. Back to the regularly scheduled programming

This whole conversation immediately reminded me of Frank the Tank in Old School!

"Well, um, actually a pretty nice little Saturday, we're going to go to Home Depot. Yeah, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe Bed, Bath, & Beyond, I don't know, I don't know if we'll have enough time"
