I play this with some of the warchild,[HOT], and crucial guys from BF2.  It's alright...the only thing I don't really like are those 40mm attached grenade launcher rounds.

Runnin this like shit

But it's fun. Bullet drop works out well, shotguns kick ass, the 1911 kicks more ass, spotting system seems a little nerfed from BF1943 on the 360 in that the icons don't last as long. I like that you can cap the MCOMs or destroy them too.

20 bux if you dont care about steam


lol but you care so

b/c it's sold out

2late

also steve if you want to try this out and get your opinion over whether or not you want it i'll change my password to my ea thing to something we can both use for a little bit cause i think i want this game irl

is to 'consolized?'  By that I mean stupid control schemes, clear console mechanics (like stealth kills in AvP), etc? 

Not that I'm saying that would make it bad, but I'm kind of getting tired of it.

BBC2 has much more potential for long term play.  It's just streamlined battlefield, I don't know what other modes exist in the final game but the beta mode, rush, is probably the one I'd want to play in the end.  You go section by section on the map in a one way push style with multiple objectives to blow up to push it to the next step.

The only blatant consolization is melee locking on, and I guess one other complaint I've seen is vehicles have no ammo, they can just go buck wild as long as they aren't dead but I don't really care about that part.

You REALLY need to learn how to burst fire your guns moreso than most other games I've played, and at least in sniping there's clear bullet drop which seems to be implemented pretty well, sniping takes some vague amount of skill. 

But yeah we just wanted AVP to be AVP2 which was probably the multiplayer game of its time in that style.  But it'll never be that unless they completely restyle the melee system with none of the disorienting homing in and instant kills.

the BBC2 Limited Edition has exclusive in-game advantages.

That's probably the single gayest thing I've never heard of in a multiplayer game.

So QA found out a debug setting we used for logging errors was causing the CTD's after DICE left work last night. As such the patch is good to be released and is going live now.

Steam users will have to wait until this evening to update as we need Valve to wake up to make it live their end. If you want to run the latest version you can uninstall the Steam version and grab the client from any host here, and use the same login details as before.

You can update automatically when loading BFBC2 or you can manually run the updater from your install directory (run as Administrator if you experience update issues or errors).

This update is about performance and stability again. We are not doing any changes to the game's datafiles.
# Reduced input "lag:"

    * On machines where the CPU would out-run the GPU, sometimes the GPU would queue up several frames' worth of rendering commands. This could lead to the game having a high framerate, but input still feeling very sluggish. Now there's a limiter on how many frames the CPU is allowed to be "ahead" of the GPU. Control this setting via Settings.ini. Default setting: RenderAheadLimit=2

# Performance optimizations with biggest improvements on dual-core machines
# Fixed black "masks:"

    * The soot on buildings with holes in them had a bugged renderpath. We switched that over to a more well-tested renderpath.

# Improved hit-detection:

    * We've gone through the hit detection logic, and client+server will now give more consistent results.

# Fix for some "rubberbanding" issues:

    * C4 should stay attached to vehicles and not rubberband around

# Reduced spikes/dips in framerate
# Various fixes for alt+tab related CTD on Dx9
# More fixes for random CTD on Dx9
# Fix for crash when you're in a vehicle that gets destroyed:

    * There was a race condition in the code; System 1 thought "oh hey, you're leaving vehicle X"; System 2 thought "the vehicle got destroyed, let's remove it." If system 2 ran before system 1, chaos would ensue. This was actually fixed in the retail version since a month, but it was only when we got detailed crash reports from the community that we understood *why* the Beta was crashing.

# Likely bugs in this build:

    * I wouldn't be surprised if it (still) has trouble remembering your settings between rounds. It would be nice to have that fixed too, but it's better to get a patch out now, and look at the settings issues afterward.

Already had steve do it but everyone else gettin dis go here http://veteran.battlefield.com/ and do thangs, hit rank 1 and you'll get an M1 Garand for the full game supposedly.

most fun i have ever had in a battlefield game, because it barely feels like one.

if you need to alt tab, do alt-enter instead.. it's smoother
