Shut up

You dont even know who that is

anyone get a the 20 demolish kills online achievement?

how do you get it?

I'm picking this game up for my PC next week. Anyone else on PC?

Destroy a bui8lding with someone in it 20 times (Or 20 total kills)

Nothing like getting spawn fucked or team killed for being anywhere near the helicopter

Smoke grenade the chopper and you'll be safe. Team killing only works in Hardcore mode.

Hardcore is the only one worth playing, tbh. Tried regular damn mode and I just can't get into it. Was the same with MW2, can't play anything but Hardcore

They definitely have.

I was playing as the attackers on Port Valdez last night and we lost on the first set of MCOM stations. Half the team was just sitting back sniping, leaving only 4 or 5 of us to actually try and get to the objectives. Needless to say, we didn't take them down.

Also, Laguna Presa is the shittiest map in gaming history. People already snipe too damn much as it is. When this map comes around either no one or 1 or 2 guys run around capturing flags, everyone else snipes. Running around and capturing the flags yourself wouldn't be too bad if it weren't for every damn flag being watched by 3 or 4 snipers at any given time.

Laguna Presa is only really playable on squad death match, any other mode and its horrendous, definately the worst one on there. Slowly leveling up, up to level 12 at the moment.

So hows this game? I just got home with the 360 version, gonna go play it now....

I also got hostess cupcakes :D

Prepare to be one of three guys in a team of 12 actually playing the game right while everyone else plays as Recon (badly).

Great game, though. Better than that other one.

played it for a couple hours. Should I rate it on a scale of 1 to 10? Rofl....

How come deathmatch has to be in teams? FFA deathmatches are awesome. That's the only complaint I got so far. That, and I just randomly die because I get sniped every 30 seconds or so.

FFA deathmatch is gay and courages gay behavior. I wouldn't mind an option, though, for dudes like you who want it - but it would certainly undermine the team-based nature of the game.

Veteran works? Need to activate that.

Just had my best match online. Went 53 and 33 with 5610 points overall on the jungle map playing rush. Played as medic exclusively. Was rushing around throwing health packs down everywhere, and going from one side of the map to other reviving fallen comrades. Plus I was mowing down anyone who was foolish enough to get in my way. Planted three bombs that went on to destroy M com stations as well.

Feel like such a beast right now.

I got the special Shotgun upgrade that extends its range and I must say, it has AR range now. With the automatic shotgun you'll clear rooms easily. I use that in my Recon class because I can't snipe for shit.

Most people don't know how to use the sniper class effectively in these types of games.

I like to use a sniper class in MAG, and what I'll do is go with my squad, til we get close to an objective. Then I'll hang back and cover them, and counter snipe the people defending the objective. That's what a good sniper does. Not sit in the spawn point the whole game.

Have encounted so many shite snipers, really bugs me. So far think the medic class has been my most profitable class shall we say, I get a little bit of a rush knowing I just bought some guy back from the dead.

Urgh some people just dont understand the concept of a SQUAD game. Online is starting to grind my gears.

Rush is the stupidest fucking thing. Why the fuck are the attackers getting attacked? Just becomes Conquest with a time limit but you have 8 miles to run to get anywhere, but before you get there you'll get sniped by one of 7 different guys

I find Rush very enjoyable - most of the Conquest games I've played have been boring snipe-fests or disorganised messes.

Dunno, maybe I was just having shit luck in getting good teams last night. First time I'd played Rush.

And if you think Conquest sniping is bad, SDM is worse. Basically just becomes squad sniping teams. They need to do like old games did and limit the classes per teams

Squad DM is awesome. Not liking a good spot, flanking, and icing a group of fools. And getting points that reward good behavior much more accurately than most games. Get yourself a dedicated squad.

SDM is good providing you have a decent team or atleast stay close to each other and do you "jobs" i.e heal/revive people, ammo resupply.

Rented this for PS3. Good shit.

whats a good k/d ratio for this game?

my w/l ratio is only .96:-\

So I'm trying to figure this out, the store says I can buy a VIP code, but they're nowhere to be found? Just wanna buy that shit so I can stop getting kicked out of games for not having these maps

Should pop up every time you enter the store, unless you turned it off.

Not to enter the code though, to buy one. It says in the store you can buy one from the list, but nothings there

Oh I was there, sir

But because I'm renting people said I shouldn't get one (:'(). I've had the game via GameFly since it came out and no plans to send it back. Have the 3 game plan and am struggling to use up all 3. Had just BC 2 for a couple of weeks and then took a chance on that Vancouver Olympics game. MIIISSTAAAAAKE

Yeah Nelson Bay seems to keep up a bizarrely large amount of the time. I don't mind it that much as a map, but it gets fairly repetitive.

new maps out tommorow one for rush and one for conquest

That Conquest variation in that desert town is gonna be chaos.

Hey kalyx how did that knife feel when I stuck it in your face? :rant:

Better than the clip I emptied on you I'm sure.

Just bought this. On the third mission of campaign, loving it so far. Because it's comical just makes me want to play it more than I wanted to play MW2's.

Gonna have to jump online sometime.

No interest in single player.

because theyre already on the disc

Campaign was pretty good but think the first one was slighty better. Still had plenty of humour in it, although I'm pretty sure Haggard was voice by someone different this time round. It worth a run through, only takes around 6-8 hours to do it.

Me and Extreme tore it up for a few games this morning. He's pretty versed already.

Finally getting the groove with Assault, loving that 'rough neck, expendable' rush of battle.

I CANNOT get my Veteran status working. Fucking stupid EA making it a website activation instead of through the game. And guess what - the website missed read my email and attached my EA account to my PS3 ID! WTF?!? I couldn't even recover my PS3 ID when I wanted to on a PS3 console, and EA manages to fish it out for no fucking reason. Gonna contact EA and see if they can attach my GT to my current Live ID. I have a feeling this will lead to further frustration...

Squad Rush is the best mode in the game. Not only is it super competitive and balanced, it reveals recon whores for the bicthes they are. No excuses in this mode! I'm 3 and 0 so far, and that's working with a random squad. Can't wait to dominate with my usual boys.

Damn right.

Gonna be on today in the afternoon (EST).

Getting tired of being on the squad doing all of the work. 100% of the time, no bullshit, the objective my squad isn't watching will be armed and destroyed first (barring structural demolishes, and even then we're usually on point).

Gonna start inviting like crazy to get as much of my guys in one team as possible, even if we don't end up on the same squad. Also, if ever there would be a Bad Company 3 (or if the proper Battlefield 3 sequel adopts the squad system), there should be a Squad Leader who's allowed to talk to another Squad Leader for some sense cohesion beyond the actual squad. I'd love to coordinate a larger scale tactic, or just ask what the Hell the other squads are doing. It would still keep the chat channels from being spammed or overloaded if it's just the leaders communicating.

Sorry for dropping, had some business.

That 4x sniper scope makes me feel like fuckin Superman.

Pass. Paying for skins, in an FPS where you rarely get to see yourself, is not my cup of tea.

Universal Dr. Pepper codes (Here is how for BC2 & all other EA titles, not just ME2)
<hr style="color: rgb(55, 59, 50); background-color: rgb(55, 59, 50);" size="1"> <!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message --> I am copying and pasting what someone posted on 360achievements.org, user Thelorn. They got it from someone else too as stated in the rest of the post. I have edited it slightly to make more sense.

Here is the link to the Dr. Pepper promo page http://www.drpepper.com/promotions/ea/

The 4 universal codes are as follows.
CBEEAAA41NWH
CBEEAAAE4L9N
CBEEAAAFQG9J
CBEEAAAE98ZV

Now, You can use the codes for BC2
You will need to make 4 different Dr.Pepper accounts.
Try using Internet Explorer as trouble has been reported with firefox and chrome.

1. Create a new Dr.Pepper account
2. Enter the Universal Code
3. Right click the claim now button (for the Mass Effect Prize) and click copy link
4. Put link into your browser address bar
5. Change the =4 at the end of the bar to =3. (if it's already a =3 change to =4)
6. Hit enter
7. Claim whatever prize you want
8. Repeat 1-8 until desired amount of prizes.

I DO NOT take credit for this find. Credit is due to poster Oreopatch from the following Bad Company 2 Official forum. http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/505226.page


I have not done this though I am in the process of doing so right now but 20+ others have confirmed this method to work. I know this should be tagged onto the Dr. Pepper thread, but I figure more people should know!

**Edit: I have done it and can confirm that this method works.

****Edit 2: The prizes for BC2 are currently for the 360 only. It is unknown whether or not redeeming now will still unlock it for your PS3 account tied to your EA profile.

yup thats what i did no use in wasting money for skins

also the new achievments arent working have to wait till they fix them

Me, Ermax and a bud of his (and now mine) were fucking tearing it up yesterday. Epic wins, but the last game went to the other team, strictly because we were preoccupied while the last objective was armed. If you want something done right...

Pussy/Awesome

Battlefield: BC2 console update coming May 11

by Griffin McElroy http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.en...writer_rss.gif { May 7th 2010 at 10:58AM } http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.jo...001xbox001.png http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.jo...station001.png
<!-- sphereit start --> Recons! Medics! Assaults! Lend us your Engineers! If you're still adhering to your nightly routine of playing Battlefield: Bad Company 2 until your eyes refuse to stay open any longer, you'll be pleased to hear about some upcoming changes coming to console versions of the game. Unless, of course, you actually like the game's unkillable, super overpowered deathcopters. In that case, you're about to be sorely disappointed.

Changes coming in the update -- due out May 11 via Xbox Live and PSN -- include a few balance tweaks of most weapons, a slight nerfing of the attack helicopter and an increase in the velocity of tracer darts, making it easier to stick 'em to that aforementioned helicopter. Joy!

Check out the full list of changes after the jump.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 update changelog:

• Increased the base range of all Automatic and Semiautomatic weapons for more consistent close range combat.
• Slightly increased the damage of Semiautomatic rifles over long range for more consistent damage output.

• Slightly increased the Health of soldiers in Hardcore for better Kit Balance.
• Increased the benefit from the Medkit Heal+ specialization to make it more desirable as a Specialization.
• Decreased the benefit from Vehicle Reload Speed to balance it against other Vehicle Specializations.
• Slightly decreased the benefit from accuracy specializations to balance the changes to range and accuracy tweaks.
• Fixed a bug where the BMD3 would take extra damage to the front armor.
• Reduced the explosive damage from Attack Helicopter cannons.
• Increased the damage of AA guns against all targets. The AA gun should be much more effective against infantry on Port Valdez.

Great improvements.

While there will be games that get my attention, I'm a BC2 fanboi for life. My fave military shooter and one of my favorite online multiplayer experience ever.

I might pick this up second hand, when it drops in price.

With the Rach beta closing in a few days, I'll be back on full time to pwn pussy-ass recons and tanks (cause no one else will).

Halo: Reach beta ends tonight. I'll be reenlisting in this game this week, if you could pry me off Red Dead long enough.

So many games so little time...

Had a 2500+ game few nights ago. I'm so boss.

I was a Medic, playing Rush (attacking side). Got best player and best squad, though there was another squad I was helping more than my own (two of my guys were Recon so... ya know). My last squad member put some work in and that's we got top squad. I was rocking that automatic shottie the whole time.

I don't see it on the achievement list...
