Good games last night. Wish I could've played more. The download actually went surprisingly fast for me. Don't know the actual duration, but I started the download through the game and then messed around on the dashboard for a bit. I was gonna shut down until I saw the download was already at 80% and going pretty quickly so I decided to just wait a few minutes and it finished.

I tried going back to the M16 now that I have the assault rifle training unlocked and it still sucks since they nerfed it. All other things being equal I lose a gun battle w/ it every time so the added accuracy isn't really doing much good at least for me. Most likely going back to controlled bursts w/ the XM8 and its higher damage.

I really wanted to play more since I had just started getting the feel for the game again after we got our butts handed to us in the first match I jumped in on. First time I've had a chance to play since being married. I might try to jump on again tonight if I get a chance.

Picked up 4k MSFT points on the cheap in preparation for Onslaught and any other stuff worth getting in the near future.

Was able to play a few matches of Rush after the update. Jumped in to randoms games. First two was a joke, could not get a kill at all. It was a full room, the other team pushed to the last M-com. I quit and went to another room. A few things I noticed, was the M-coms explodes alot faster. 250pts for destroying one. That's good. It makes it worth it and to complete the objective. The hand gernade is a bit weak. Still alittle lag in some areas. You can finish a rush match fairly quick now. I also notice more metal achivement coming up.

I feel that the update was a good one. I only played for 2hrs. It felt a bit more balanced. Not one guy was doing all the work.

Like what Yosef said, the M16 sucks. It's inaccurate and all over the place. I like the XM8 burst fire. It's strong and accurate.

yeah you got all me hyped up to play snake, what a let down all good dude we'll catch u on later.

overall I think the update is great so far what we have noticed in it, the big things:
- respawn kit selection screen shows you what you will look like - easier to choose appropriate camo if you got specact
- more points for objectives (50 for arming/disarming 250 for setting it off)
- points after death!!
- WWII guns register stats and you can finally earn those all bronze insignia
- they updated weapon stats charts so its easier to see what they nerfed and buffed

one round on laguna attacking we were going on c4 bombing runs, even if you blow yourself up with mcomm you still get tons of points since they actually count now when you die.

On the whole M16 thing, I actually stopped using after I got my platinum, it's a shame that they nerfed it, I loved that gun... I switched over the AN-94 since then as my primary assault rifle which seems more close to the power of the old m16 once you get used to it.

IMO, purchasing "shortcuts" to get rank or XP related stuff kind of ruins the point of progressing in rank and score.

Glad we got an update yesterday. For most part seems better. Went ahead and got my bronze for the tommy gun to complete all the bronze weapons but I didn't get the insignia. Only weapon I don't have is the one you get when you have veteran status. My xbox id had to be changed so my other two games are tied to that id and my email address. And EA's site won't let me change id because it says it has already been registered. (Registered when game was put in console.)

Wow. That is incredibly stupid of them to have 'short cuts'

What's next? Allowing you to purchase all of the achievements?

ya pretty stupid that they are doing that. They shouldn't allow you to star the weapons or get any achievements for them until you are at the level they unlock. Either way still gonna kill them easily =D

To be honest, one of my biggest turnoffs to BC1 was that I joined at a time when everyone was infinitely better than I was. Would I have paid to "catch up" to them? Probably not. But many people will. Part of the reason I haven't been on lately is because I know you guys are all so far ahead of me now. I refuse to put any of my money towards this game though until they finish all the lag. Where does that leave me?

I'll try to be on later today so I can be a punching bag

i dl'ed the update, and ripped off 25 kills with the M1 Garand, and got my All Bronze Stars and All Weapon Bronze Stars patches... woohoo! 15,000+ points, that round. what's interesting is that the game started me with 25 M1A1 kills, even though i likely had triple that before i realised they weren't being recorded. i wonder how they resolved that issue...

jgibo, i would iniatiate an EA chat help session to see if they could just hook you up. i wouldn't be shocked if they were able to help...

in related news... you can buy your way thru kit progression, now? wow! guess it's not much of a surprise. it'd be nice if there was some distinction, ie, those who paid thru are forced to wear pink, etc.

i always used that tactic they are slowly but surely ruining this game that is total BS that somebody can buy this game then buy short cuts after we all worked hard to unlocked.new players should get their butts kicked while trying unlock weapons just like we did.

The "shortcut" dlc isn't anything new at all. EA has been doing this with their racing games for a while now. Letting you pay to unlock all of the cars without having to win them in the career mode.

It works, I got my 2 all bronze insignias last night after getting 25 kills with M1 so it seems you need it...

Go to http://support.ea.com/chat and they should be able to sort out all your veteran status problems quickly.

I was so excited when I logged on last night @ 9pm EDT and saw 3+ AVSer's playing BC2. I fired up the game and waited 50 mins for the update to DL. By the time I got into a match, only one AVS member was playing, and they logged off shortly thereafter.

Oh well, I guess I'll try again tonight.

As usual... ea site blocked at work. Don't know how they expect us to slack if they keep blocking sites.
Will try a chat with them when I get home.


I decided to try using Microsoft's Live Mesh that I had setup. So I did a remote desktop connection to one of my home computers and it wasn't blocked Did the chat with EA. Was 0 in queue They have updated my status. So when I get home I will hopefully see the change. Thanks for the EA link.

Maybe not BC2 pertinent per se, but I've only been playing BC2 since I switched to it from MW2 and I just checked and the trade in through Amazon on MW2 is $32. Not bad. I think I originally paid $48 or so. Figured it's better to do that than let it collect dust.

@dae giovanni

lol, I also thought there should be some sort of n00b tag added to players who purchased stuff rather than unlocking it.

BTW, I can understand an argument from the standpoint of just wanting all the shiny guns and gadgets, but at the same time it's not like a crappy player is going to become awesome all of a sudden just because you give them the tools so at least we have that.

I'm corporal or some low level. I played a ton the entire time the demo was out, but was out of country or busy with life in general when the full game was released. I might not have all the toys, but I can definitely run in and blow up an mcom...or die trying. lol.

Maybe there will be another screwed up Dr. Pepper promo and I can just get all the kit unlocks free.

Ea got my veteran status fixed. I was then able to sign in and saw that the m93r burst isn't showing a bronze with 11kills. I have 20 now and hope at 25 when I get the silver it unlocks.

Just got silver with the m934 but still no insignia. Guess I will try getting the m1 next.

Hahaha. No worries, K Rage. IMO, food should always trump gaming.

I haven't been online a lot lately cuz my 3 month old has shifted his feeding schedule to 9pm EDT. So the wifey takes over the TV while the kiddie is feeding. By the time he's finished, burped and cleaned up, it's going on past 10 pm.

Plus the mini-USB connector on my MixAmp just broke, so gaming quietly has been hard.

Hope to be on later tonight.....

Put the game back in for the first time in MONTHS! Good to be back. Played all by my lonesome since no AVS'ers were on. Saw Hoosier log in then log out before I could invite him. Then just as I'm switching to another game, BigOrange logs on. Grr!

The lag sucks but I *guess* it's playable. Not as bad as what I thought it'd be. Still sad though - the game was 100% fluid when it first came out.

I love the TOW missile launcher

So tonight I was an attacker, team just destroyed the 2nd set of mcoms on Laguna Alta, I hopped on to of the TOW at our spawn base. Destroyed the next B, It reloads fast enough that the points combo up, I got 920 points in a row effortlessly. Now the kicker is that I proceeded to do this 2 more times in a row, both the next A and on the next set of mcoms I got the B too! I'm bragging, sorry.

played some today. Lag was annoying but I managed to destroy two m-coms with the UAV alone which was rather satisfying. Hooked up w/DirtyNeedlz and Stryker but either they didn't have mics or my mic wasn't working properly.

What I find most ridiculous about this is how easy the unlocks were. I unlocked all of the kits in BC2 faster than just about any other game that works that way. I see no point in paying for those.
