ya the squad invite thing doesn't make much sense to me either.. If they are in the game on your team you should be able to send a squad invite even if the game is full... Ya those were some intense games tonight, very nice very nice. The 2nd to last round by harpua was one of the best i've seen, 6700 pts without tank whoring? thats pretty damn good..

How many "cannot connect to EA" messages?

Love the game, but Sunday I couldn't connect until 9pm and yesterday I couldn't connect at all. It's getting ridiculous.

Ya that sucks. The immediate 5-6 guys i usually play with haven't had problems for weeks. I haven't had any at all since the release, except of course when the servers ARE actually down. I think i've been kicked back to the home screen once, and dropped from a game maaaybe once ( I can't remember when it was IF i was).
All of this is pretty funny considering i play across a tethered phone and I'm the one having the least amount of problems!

question: wtf crack rock was DICE smoking when it masterminded the squad system for BFBC2? new shortcomings pop up daily. considering how integral the squad system is to the game, it really needed to be seamless. in addition to the already discussed problems with getting more than one squad into the same game, there are other huge-pain-in-the-ass issues.

example: I spent about an hour tonight in a two-man squad with bigorangeking (good playing with you, orange, but a two person squad just doesn't cut it in this game, especially against organized squads). there were a few other avs-ers on our team, but there's no way to squad up with them. I sent them squad invites, but I got the message "room full" or something along those lines. why on earth can't I invite people already on my team into my squad? it runs so against the grain of common sense.

Yeah it seemed like I kept getting picked off by bigorangeking for about an hour. I am sure in reality it was just a few times but I kept thinking "man how can he be everywhere"? Then ExoJam, I think everytime I saw him he was driving a tank. It is amazing how much more I enjoy the game when I am loosing as long as I have some idea who is putting the hurt on me.

We tried to invite you when I rejoined the game but you had jumped onto the other team.

I agree on the 2 person squads - tough...especially against people that know how to play.

That game had to have been an hour long. I went 70-35 that match with the medic class and M60 (58 of the 70 kills with that). By far the best match I've had, but I think the length of the match added to it.

Good games last night - especially the Valparaiso and Arica Harbor matches.

When I did manage to join up with some other AVSers last night it was on Valparaso. I thought it was funny that twice I spawned right near the blackhawk along with some other people and everybody would run towards it but nobody would get in. I will admit that I also thought "I suck at piloting that thing, but I'll man a gun". I guess I am not alone in that line of thinking. So I got a little flying time last night.

Sorry Pete, nothing personal I just unlocked the m95 and i had to let the big dog eat. You're right though it does seem to be a little easier to take getting wiped out by friends than randoms. I know that Snake, Dallas, and Sal made me smile last night every time they knifed my head. Krimzen had me smiling all night, crap, it was like I was his personal bullet holder. Anyway, good games last night.

And boy did I take great satisfaction in pulling out that knife. You were tearing me up with that sniper rifle.

You and I need to hook up on a chopper. I think I do a decent job of flying, I just can't shoot worth a damn!

Those were some of the best games I have played to date. They were long and seemed very close.

I had fun last night what little I got to play. Had planned on playing more but started watching Benjamin Button, and man that is a long movie.

I was on lowgn's team for the few rounds I played and that worked out pretty well. We seem to play similarly. Going for the m-com's at about the same time and defending from the same general area. A lot of circling the map to get behind the m-com's to attack. Since he was an assault and I was a medic it worked out pretty well.

bigorangeking,

You were a bullet magnet???

It seems like every time I saw the kill cam, you were rolling on the ground laughing and had a little balloon over your head saying "that knucklehead poked his head up again". You were murder with that sniper rifle.

Just wanted to point out that I didn't play any last night. You are giving me credit for someone else's bladed aggression.

Yeah, it seems like I would get 3-4 kills and then someone would find my hidey hole and BLAM! Run for a mile and start all over again. I did have a couple of runs though of Arica where I thought I was gonna run out of ammo. Ah, good times.

I guess I'm just used to getting killed by you if you are ever on the opposite team. I've been gettin wiped up by other AVS'ers so much lately when i try to join a game and end up on the opposite side that I'm kinda glad we're friends or I would be hating this game.

that sucks jon, it does seem that only you are having a problem so maybe something with servers in your area? I had a freeze in a the middle of match earlier but took it as a sign to take a break... later in the evening though there was some truely epic intense matches last night!

lol at terry, I think me and Remo were squaded up but also had 2 randoms for most of evening. Would have been nice if we all squaded up together but agree with comments that squad system can def use some improvement in this game. They should at least give us what PC has that you can see all the squads on your team and who's in them! Remo was lots of fun playing together, you always seem end up near the objectives staying alive

Highlight of the evening for me was getting snake and harpua in the heli on Valpariso from across the map with my buddy Carl G. We definitely got it back ten fold from the you guys and the rest of your team though on Arica. I quickly learned that there's always going to be another AVS around the corner to avenge the dude I just dropped lol.

Dude! That shot was sick. I couldn't tell at first if I was the only one that died since Mr Carl G hit me square in the face while I was on the mini-gun. First thing I said was 'did the helicopter blowup, or did I really just get hit in the face with a rocket?'. It was instantaneous.

You got me quite a few other times, but that one was by far one of the most memorable deaths I've experienced.

Definitely a lot of fun. I'm trying to learn to control myself a little better. When I see an m-com I'm bad about just sprinting trying to plant. But if I can force myself to sit and wait for 10-15 seconds I can get a better idea about where the enemies will be coming from and let a couple of teammates spawn in on me. I still can't help myself when I get on an atv though. B-line straight for the m-com.

My highlight was getting a 4 wheeler going full blast with a noob tube on Valpariso. Lucky ass shot, but I got a helluva laugh out of it.

I gotta say, I love watching the specks up in the air and noticing that they are really bodies flying 100-200m off the ground.

My bullets being lead are not magnetic and are not attracted to you bigorangeking, you were in the wrong place all the time. If I see a red triangle rest assured I will be bursting shots just below it with an LMG while reviving those safely within reach.

I don't know what was up, other multiplayer games are working fine. On Sunday even had a second Xbox running and that one worked, though I couldn't connect to EA with mine until hours later. Last night a friend of mine in the same town was getting in fine.

Then I argue that maybe my own awesomeness has gravity and as such bullets are pulled my direction. I'm like a bullet black hole of awesomeness.


....or maybe I'm just in the wrong place all the time.

Funniest was whoever rpg the guy on the atv and his body flew about 75 feet off of it. I was in tears laughing so hard.

Well, you can see the team/squad breakdown by holding the back button during a game. Not sure if that's what you mean.

Again, sick games last night. You really have to be on your toes at all times in a room full of AVSers!

Thanks! I enjoy flying that heli round and round letting people light up the other team.

If you're talking about the jungle map with the ATV, that was me. I needed to get the badge for 4 kills with tubes and I think he was the last one I needed.

It does surprise me how this game will not combine lobbys or anything. It seems that when it gets down to 7v7 or 4v4 that a group of people would join. IMHO, that would be better than having smaller games...

Yeah, it's that screen but on Xbox all you see is your current squad highlighted, then the rest of the team.

I wish I could find a screen shot, but on PC they also can see all the other squads on their team split up and who's on them like "Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta".

Yep and it lets you pick which one you want to join. Also gives you the ability to kick squadmates if you are the squad leader. I have wanted things like this so much in console gaming its redic. I just dunno if it will happen with this generation. That ease is something i'm afraid will stick with PC games. That is one of those things that seems like it would be so easy to incorporate but i guess its not

You can do it in that game MAG for PS3, so I have no idea why they didn't incorporate it in a game like this...especially if they have that option for the PC. MAG also has squad leaders that let you talk between squads. About the only things MAG does well though, IMO.

Give me that and a compass and I don't think I'd have a single complaint.
