I must say, I am LOVING BC2 on my PS3. It's just so raw and gutteral, The sound, the visuals, the balance is all just amazing.
I'm supised more people don't spot though. I mean it nets you loads of XP for a spot assist, are people just wanting the kills for themselves? Or are they just struggling to stretch over to the "select" button? I spot trigger would have been perfect, perhaps a button crouch, stick melee, and trigger spot would have improved this fantastic shooter.
Or, some customisable controls.
I dunno, but spotting is really important guys. Get your spot on!
If anyone fancies some Bad Company 2 on PS3, add me up: Foolishbean69

cant say i like this news
Bad Company 2 isnt very good
It isnt Battlefield 2 or 2142
But it is overrated by many just for having "dedicated servers" while MW2 didnt because thats the popular game to beat for making PC owners feel bad
whatever

The fact that the PC community hates MW2 totally has nothing to do with BF:BC2 popularity. /s*
*this sounds of the gunfire and explosions feels very weird to me.

This does not come as a suprise to me. Al lot of Battlefield fans been waiting for a 'decent' Battlefield game on the PC. This is one of them.
Coming from someone who always owns at BFBC2 and BF1943: Bad Company 2 is a Turd sandwich, while 1943 is a gold nugget of victory.
Too bad the PC port is riddled with constant connection problems.
Its been off and on since release. I love the game, but EA seriously should have been ready in that regard.

It's all well and good saying BC2 is a turd sandwich, but why do you feel that way?
Also, it's not only the PC community that fucking hates Modern Borefare 2!

@SexualChocolate I stand corrected. Everybody hates MW2. It's a new trend or flu that's been going around.
Eurogamer disagrees.

360 has taken over.

Strange Arn't they bolstering the 360 servers as they crashes and burnt due 400% more people playing the game than any other BF game in history?
I think it's quite fanciful to think anything can hope to compete with the 360 user base jagernaut.

@Fatalmuzza - I should hope not, as 360 servers should all be provided by MS, that's why people pay for LIVE! If they're getting EA to provide the servers and are still charging people to play over LIVE that's pure cuntish.
I've had zero online problems on PSN, lovely fast game joining, no dropouts, no lag, nothing. Smooth sailing.

Yeah, the Live servers have been completely hit or miss for the last couple of days. One minute you'll be playing just fine, then you'll be kicked and all of your stats and unlocks will be missing. Then, a few hours later, they'll be bad. The system also seems to be having some trouble keeping squads together - multiple attempts over half an hour at joining a game together found us split up more often than not. The boards over at the official site have been aflame with people upset about various Live issues that still plague the game. It's sad and frustrating to say, but this port is showing its porti-ness.
Who cares if the server at a mess right now! It's DICE! I've been playing to every battlefield there is AND THIS ONE IS THE BEST! Now it's a realy battlefield! If you don't have the game, go get it!!!!
Yes, more people need to spot.
I had a ferocious argument with a squad of friends on the tactical advantage of spotting and they just didn't get it. Not until we were all traveling along together and I spotted two groups of 4 in a house and treeline...
Then suddenly they went 'Ahhhhh... that was fucking useful!'
Yeah, having your whole team know where the enemy is positioned is a good thing.

yes, spotting.. well to bo honest i didn't know how to spot, until i saw some video (i think it was something "how to not suck in BC2" on youtube), it's not that i suck but knowledge is power. Could you do it in any other BF game? like 1943?
and yes, "snipiers" don't spot at all, don't know why.. and funny fact - I press randomly "back" to spot people on known camping positions and it does find people sometimes hiding there :D

This game is great! All these turd sandwich guys can wash that down with some sour grape juice. No, I don't know what that means.
BC2 Tips:
1. Spotting as a sniper is useful. Especially if you don't kill them on your first shot. +20 Spot Assist +30 kill assist and then other bonus's such as defensive kill, or squad kill assist. In short, a spot and kill assist is equal to a kill.
2. As a medic you get more points for healing than reviving. (mostly) If they are low on health throw down a med kit and you can gather close to a hundred (maybe two if they are in your squad), compare this to a revive which only nets you fifty (or 80).
3. C4> Mortar strike. Recon doesn't mean sniper! Destroy the F-ing Tank. Medic's don't have anything to destroy vehicles. And if assault has a grenade launcher (I hate assault, but when i play i use some other gun, with C4) then they can't destroy it either. So Recon, pull some recon, Go spot and destroy.
4. Don't Camp! Why? because when you camp, and you kill someone, chances are if they have played the game enough they can tell where you are. which makes you wide open for a knife in the back.
5. On Camping: If you do however have camping snipers on your team. chances are they are going to be spotted and shot at/killed sooner or later. Jump in as a medic. ???? Profit!
6. Medic and assault are great friends. Run behind the any base and move from building to building. Knife is possible so you don't alert them, but You have Health and Ammo from each other Which can add up to major points. This is useful in a 3 person squad, with 2 medics and one assault, the only problem being fighting over medic points, but that way if one medic dies the other can revive.

@Kuwanjahbee
Good tips. Though #1, #3, and #4 can't be emphasized enough. I kept getting rolled last night because my team refused to spot and then turned into snipers instead of active members of the team.
We would have been smoked even faster, but the other team always had 4-5 snipers hiding on a hill instead of going for the bases on attack.
It's clear to me that this game won't have legs like COD4 or MW2 since there isn't enough instant gratification for most folks.

This makes me sad.
Why don't people appreciate good, fun, tight, games anymore? Why is it that all that matters to the general gaming population is an addictive regular level up noise. That's all CoD is, a pretty, but not as pretty as BC2, EASY shooting gallery with an addictive level up noise.
I was telling my friend about how cool BC2 was at the weekend and he dared to ask..
"Do you get any cool killstreaks or anything?" - I could have punched him in the fucking face.

You've got to love paying for such a brilliant, flawless online gaming service....
I'm just gonna play yet more connection trouble free BC2 on the old "not as good because you don't pay for it" PSN....
For free.
Except the game and the internet.......
But you've gotta pay for those anyway.

"People can profit when they put some real effort into making a proper port, one that takes advantage of the platform's strengths."
People were just dumb enough to buy it(Proves how much BF2 people are hungry for more BF). This port is garbage.

I'd say that there are probably 4x the people on XBL, Sexualchocolate, but I know I can't sway you one way or another. I'm just glad that we can both agree that BC2 is simply amazing. Fun. Satisfying.
@corduroy
still that's way more than 4x the funding to keep them running!
But i don't really care cuz i can haz battlefieldz nao!

Oh yeah I hate that nobody spots and they always try to lone wolf but then get pissed off when they lose. I was playing with a friend online and I got cussed because to the randoms I wasnt helping enough. The whole time I was spoting for those pussy ass snipers. After that my friend and I just stopped helping and laughed at these COD dumbass rushing tanks in the open and trying to be fucking Rambo.
Engineers are key as well. Gotta love the rocket choices to help against tanks and helis. A good blend of each class nets success here. A team full of Recons more often than not gets you a big L.
I've been having issues with Punkbuster mostly when connecting to servers. Sometimes I'll be playing for just a minute then be kicked or close to 30 minutes then kicked. Yes, I did update punkbuster but it still didn't help.
DirectX11 graphics, the largest community, and pre-existing modded servers from previous Battlefield installments, how anyone would settle for the console port is beyond me. Admittedly I'm biased, the mentioning of a new battlefield gives me a raging hard-on.
Yes I've played it on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. PS3 and 360 versions had near identical graphics with equally shitty teamwork. This game was made for PC's dammit, but Im happy that console players can feel the Battlefield love also.

I haven't picked it up yet, but if the beta and what I've read is any indication, there are probably a lot more PC users that just haven't even been able to connect online.
lol it funny with the tips, are these from consoles for consoles? maybe its necessary then, Ive only got 600 hours in bf2-2142 so I cant call myself a real expert but...
...telling someone they should spot is only a 5 years old "tip".
...telling someone they should spot is only a 5 years old "tip".
I hope they patch the game so you can team kill people playing "recon" while they are supposed to be "attacking".
Oh how I long to kill every sniper on my team. Do nothing, spot nothing, camping douchebags.
Every one of them.
Yet to see one of them diffuse a charge, or even TRY to set a charge.
If the game is called RUSH, and you are "attacking" by spawn camping - you suck balls and must die. I am coming over to your Mom's house later and I am going to kick her in the cunt.
Can't wait to start killing these people in hardcore mode. Knife in head. Break off blade. Repeat.

@SexualChocolate
I will add you as I need a few more ppl that play this game!

My favourite thing about the PC version is the communities you can find on servers. You can get some real nice regulars and have a good time. You should also try out 16 man servers for some more tight knitted squad play. Me and this other guy kept swapping out Medic and Assualt kits to revive eachother. Came top of the table doing so.
Another thing I loved doing in the beta when playing Rush against absolute idiots: Recon, Shotgun/Thompson, C4 EX Upgrade (Extra Explosives). Spawn as quickly as possible. Throw all your C4 onto a quadbike (If you're good you can do it from your parachute) and cheese it to the nearest MCOM. Crash into it, Detonate. Suicide -10, Point Damage and Destroy +300 along with destroying the one object before some people even realise what's happening.
