So I'm guessing the signature in the xbox uprising guy was a little out there? As for gaming on the pc, cool. *draws the fanboys out for a verbal war* FPS games are better with a mouse and keyboard anyways. /me runs and ducks for cover. Tried the smoke screen today, on the server I was on too many peeps where sitting back. And next thing I know I had my worst k/d ever in the game, was something lik 2-8. Eventually made it 8-8 when I ran around more careful instead of sprinting for the smoked pt. Love the game.
Guess what guys, today I played Recon, not really being in any fights...more trying to help my friend unlock his Recon class...and after playing several games today, I got a message when I went to my stats...Your Skill Level has been downgraded to ZERO get back on the BATTLEFIELD!!!! AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Impressive. I just scored 4200+ points as assault playing rush. Had 56 kills. Who says assault can't get you a high score
Yep, that's loads of fun. That, or mark it with a laser target. Then shoot it down with a RPG. Havn't played too much lately, been too busy. But got another 15 or so knifes in 2 rounds last night.
Had my best game ever, last night... 42-15 using the medic kit... m60 with RDS playing Rush... This game is a lot of fun, especially when you do well.
Im in Cali with my girl for next 2 weeks....left PS3 home this trip...gonna miss the hell out of BC2 but I guess hanging with the future InLaws will be fun Great game, I love playing rush....lol and I kinda miss using the M60
I've been using the M1 Garand and I just came to the realization that it's impossible to bronze star at this point. The kills register under the Thompson instead. So getting the insignia for all bronze stars is impossible until they fix that (also if you don't have vet status, I guess? can anyone confirm?). Weak!
I can't find the demo for the PC for this game. I want to see how it runs on my system before buying it. Anyone have a link??
Might be down. Could be wrong. I know for other games in the past like Valve's Left4Dead they took down the servers.
ran fine on my old system. Core2Duo E6400, 4gbs of ddr2800 (3 usable) and 8800GTS in sli. Newer system is I-7 860, 4gbs DDR3 pc2000, still the old 8800's. Just look up requirements, I'm sure you can find someone with a similar setup as you with their take on how it runs...or question.
I have a Dell precision workstation laptop with a quadro FX3600m (512mb) graphics card with the 2.8 C2D extreme processor. Would that be better to use or would a Dell Precision workstation laptop with a 2.6 C2D and FX3700M (1GB) be better?
hmmm Would think the first one would be best http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-Quadro-FX-3600M.8834.0.html http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-Quadro-FX-3700M.14962.0.html Updating my system made a huge difference playing the game, while still using the same gpu's. Someone with a very similar laptop as you, with video. "My Battlefield bad comany 2 gameplay at max settings , i recorded it with fraps and sometimes laggs :/ with fraps i have 32-16fps without it i have 22-50fps average of 34fps.

Bad Company 2 trumps MW2. Link to NY Times article Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is a better game than Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Yup, I went there. I’m not taking refuge in nuances. Unlike many critics, I’m not weaseling out of making a tough call by saying that they are both great games. Of course they are both great games, but no one can honestly reply, “I don’t care” when asked if you should pull into Burger King or McDonald’s. (Other suitable analogies: Toscanini versus von Karajan, Red Sox versus Yankees, Ginger versus Mary Ann.) When it comes to these global mass-market products, everyone has a favorite. And when it comes to the latest generation of hard-core first-person combat shooters, I find Bad Company 2, released recently by Electronic Arts for Windows PCs, the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3, more sophisticated, more immersive, a boatload funnier and simply more interesting than Modern Warfare 2. I think that phone ringing is Bobby Kotick, chief executive of Activision Blizzard, publisher of the Call of Duty series, calling to tell me that he’s going to eat my heart for breakfast tomorrow while he enjoys his world-class art collection. O.K., I’m just joking about the threatened ventricle roasting. But those are the sorts of passions involved in the fight between E.A. and Activision for the loyalty (and money) of the serious shooter fans who collectively spend millions of hours every day playing these games. The Call of Duty franchise, after all, has sold more than 55 million copies and generated around $3 billion in retail sales over the past seven years. The most recent game in the series, Modern Warfare 2, was the biggest commercial hit of 2009 and has already become one of the best-selling games of all time. John Riccitiello, the chief executive at Electronic Arts, had only one hope of cracking Modern Warfare 2’s stranglehold on today’s shooter fan: the Stockholm game studio E.A. acquired in 2006 that is known as DICE. As recently as five years ago the Swedish company’s Battlefield series was riding high. If you were a serious online PC shooter fan in the middle of the last decade, you were certainly playing Battlefield games. But then Activision swiped the market. Moving the Call of Duty games from World War II to the modern day made the games more exciting for many players. The Call of Duty games included a robust offline component, allowing players to progress through a scripted story surrounded by computer-controlled opponents and comrades, while the most popular Battlefield games were essentially built to be played only online against other people. And players of Call of Duty were able to build a persistent online identity, so their virtual soldier would become more capable and deadly over time; earlier Battlefield warriors would almost always begin with the same abilities. With Bad Company 2, the Battlefield series has now matched or exceeded the Call of Duty series in each of these areas. First, modernity. Each franchise is actually quite similar in its fictional setting. In both series you play a Western soldier confronting a menace originating from the former Soviet Union. But Bad Company 2 allows players to use a much broader range of modern military materiel, including tanks, helicopters, Humvees and other vehicles. More important, the virtual environments in Bad Company 2 are much larger and more diverse than those in Modern Warfare 2. Multiplayer battles in Modern Warfare 2 feel like chaotic arenas with people running all over the place looking out for themselves. In Bad Company 2, teamwork and voice communication are essential; the combat environments are more interesting and feel more akin to what I imagine a modern war zone to be. Yet the biggest leap in Bad Company 2 is in its single-player campaign. It is only six or eight hours long — comparable in length to the main story in Modern Warfare 2 — and while it is not propelled by scripted set pieces as cinematic as those in the competition, Bad Company 2’s narrative glistens. The characters in Bad Company 2 — the redneck, the hippie pilot, the geek, the weathered sergeant — are profane, quirky and usually hilarious. By contrast, the characters in Modern Warfare 2 are somber, even dour. War is obviously serious business, but the characters in Bad Company 2 seem to be having a lot more fun. And third, DICE has now fine-tuned the persistent role-playing components of the online game, by giving players a panoply of ways to advance their characters and garner recognition from other users around the world. One final technical note for consumers: Bad Company 2 is a game that needs to be played on a powerful PC, rather than a console, in order to be fully appreciated. I played mostly on a big rig from AMD, the chip maker, that was able to produce some of the most beautiful graphics I have seen in a shooter. Perhaps more important, the AMD machine came with an ATI Radeon HD 5870 video card that is able to support three monitors at once. The experience of playing on three monitors, with the peripheral vision it allows, has simply been a revelation. I will continue enthusiastically to use Intel and Nvidia-equipped computers as well, but it may be impossible for me ever to return to a single-monitor setup. As for the battle of the first-person shooters, let it rage. It is players who are reaping the benefits of this arms race between Activision and Electronic Arts. For now Bad Company 2 is on top. ----------------------- DD
I also prefer Battlefield to MW2. Though they are both good games (this might not be the case in the future with the gutting of Infinity Ward) Also, interesting to see those laptop specs up there. I don't think I could get used to play a full blown PC shooter like this on a laptop. Just doesn't seem right not to play it on a big screen (one way or another).
Well my laptop hooks up to my big screen TV so i'm not playing on the 17" screen. That would be just nuts.
