im getting pretty annoyed with the amount of recon players online. i was stuck with 3 snipers quite a few times, and im forced to capture the flag alone while they just sit back and snipe. theres also a lack of medics, which i do understand cuz the LMGs are just horrible to use compare to the rifles. if only they have rifles with the medic class, like they had in bf2.
Wow, that sucks that they allow less players. The biggest loss to me is server browser, which is one reason I disliked mw2.
I agree that there are a lack of medics...I rarely get in games where there is a medic on my squad. I usually have to be the medic.
That's odd. A lot of the servers I play on in the PC version have a good amount of medics. I play a medic also.
Ditto, I'm not noticing a shortage of Medics (PS3). But certainly way too many Recon... At this point I'm playing every class except Recon, because I want to unlock everything. Just did my first long session with the Assault class... pretty dang successful, we won and I scored 3900 and the next-best on my team was 1800. Perhaps I've been playing this too much. BTW, PSN: Drex2234
Nice score man...yeah, not quite there yet, haha. I have to say though, the more I play and the more I adjust to it (coming from mw2), Im enjoying it at an exponential rate. Pretty sick game.
I think a big key to how fun it is is that there's NO KILL COUNTER. Meaning people have every incentive to play their roles, and not just hang around in tactically stupid areas to up their kill count. That's why rather than getting old, it seems to actually get better the more you play it, like you say...
Wow I just unlocked the XM8 LMG and MG36 in the course of 5 or so conquest games. Those LMGs are beastly! Before, my k/d ratio was on average a little over 1.0, but with either the XM8 or MG36 I've seen a huge spike in my number of kills. That's in addition to my medic duties. Man, this game is so much fun. :grin:
I'll add you. I'm PSN: JusBlazeEm. Last night I unlocked the M60.... What's everyone's skill lvl? Saw I was at 161 last night. What's funny is that I'm not even sure what goes into calculating "skill' level. I'm sure it's a multitude of things.
Ya, I don't really understand skill lvl. Is a higher, or lower number better? I was comparing my stats with some of my friends yesterday. I've got to say, so far the M60 is my favorite gun in game. Been using that like crazy, got the other 2 unlocks after it yesterday, but still prefer the M60. I mostly play medic. Playing on Texas Team Players server, and man we are unstoppable when we have 2 squads running together with multiple medics, engineers, and assault.... So far, highest score I have had is around 28,000pts. (did have quite a few award pts in there too).
I bought the game today, and though I don't have Xbox Live yet, the Campaigns are pretty cool! I love the fact that you can destroy the ish out of buildings and houses and basically everything!
It says my skill level is pretty low, so apparently I suck... which doesn't surprise me that much, because I've played few shooters over the past few years. I always seem to score in the top 3 or 4 on my team though, with a healthy enough portion of #1s. I seem to average around 1600 in a Rush round. My K/D ratio also kinda sucks, I think it's at like 0.85... I tend to make spotting and all functions besides kills a higher priority to me, which probably is bad for my skill rating...
Guys who have played battlefield on PC know the value of a good medic. On consoles where people are unfamiliar with the series, think its Hurt Locker and that anyone can dominate with a sniper. I traded in MW2 but only got 33$, base of 22$ but luckily that bonus made it tolerable. Damn gamestop.
Yeah, there are games when my sole purpose is to complete the objectives and my K/D is terrible in those. When I do squad deathmatch, its much easier to get the K/D up. But generally speaking, if you are doing all the team stuff, you wont see a really high ratio. Its hard to run around completing objectives while mowing down everyone that crosses your path.
Yeah, I was thinking it's probably easier to get a high K/D in squad deathmatch, but at this point I ONLY play Rush. So much more fun, IMO. I tried the other two modes for like an hour each first day, but they just didn't grab me like Rush did... I feel like Rush maximizes the sense of "team."
That's the truth. My K/D ratio in games where I have a really high score is usually about 1.0. It's because I usually run around healing/reviving teammates and don't try to kill everything in sight. Unless the opportunity presents itself of course. On a side note, I'm about 6,000 xp away from unlocking the MG3! :grin:
*Slaps own forehead* So I just realized another reason why my K/D has stayed low: I commit suicide from the menu all the time! Lol. Often I'll play a Medic, but then when I see a tank or helicopter coming toward our base I'll suicide immediately and switch to Engineer so I can deal with the problem, since no one else ever seems to. And then I switch back. But I guess that's what's so refreshing about it. All I care about is my team winning. Even if it means staying hidden and never firing a shot, doing nothing but spotting and reviving people with the paddles... my team dominated a game that way, we were attacking and I just stood behind a Recon and an Assault guy from my squad as they fired on the objectives from a ridge, reviving them whenever they fell over and over, and watching their backs. And the rest of the team just strolled in and set the charges. It's hilarious how easy it is when people actually decide to play as a team...
I've got over 140 Dog Tags, but I guess it only shows the Unique one. I've knifed one random dude 6 times lol! Anyone else play this on Steam on PC? if so, do you have any issues with Steam acting like your in game when you quit BC2? Mine still tells my friends I'm playing, and makes the in game sound when I send or receive a message. So the Time played is going to be way out of whack. Wish they'd fix this, I don't want to have to reinstall steam. not sure what happened, some glitch with the game. I found a glitch yesterday. If you try to switch teams right before a round starts (before you spawn) it'll do either of 2 things. 1, you'll be switched to the other team (be a russian when you were American) but you'll spawn in the USA (original team) spawn, so you can steal the chopper etc and take it to your new base. Or it'll switch you to the other team on the player list, but in reality you'll still be playing on the original team. Strange. So either way, you win the round...
