:siren: [b]Since the Battlefield subforum closed I decided to make this thread, bbcode will be broken and fixed[/b] :siren: [img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/bc2thrduc.jpg[/img] :siren: [b]OP UNDER CONSTRUCTON! I will do my best to freshen up the OP since it has looked largely the same since V1. Hopefully V8 will look a bit diffirent and better! :siren: If you have any questions about the game, make sure to READ this OP before asking. I wrote it for a reason! If your question could not be answered then go ahead and ask in the thread or check the Battlefield Wiki: [url]http://battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/[/url] Make sure to be careful with spoiler tags and mention if you are playing the singleplayer campaign when posting a video. Especially if you are at a point that is essential to the games plot.

The Bad Company series started off as a console only game. The game got a great amount of attention and people still play the first game. Being a Battlefield game, the developers, DICE, spent a lot of time finetuning the multiplayer to fit the game's most notable feature. It's destruction. No wall is safe! You can shoot a granade into a wall and watch as the granade blows the entire wall into bits. Large battlefields with lots of destruction and great graphics, all powered by DICE's new Frostbite engine. The destruction allows for a much more intense gameplay experience. Knowing that the walls will no longer protect you from a tank's gun is something to get used to. Making the vehicles in the game a lot more powerful since your foes can no longer hide in a building. The first Bad Company was a big change for DICE and all of the Battlefield fans. Not only due to the new destruction and it being console only but because it was the first Battlefield game to have an actual singleplayer campaign. The Singleplayer story: The story in Bad Company 1 revolves around a quartet of military misfits who have all been placed in the "expendable" company, B-Company, for various reasons. The soldiers in B-Company do the army's dirty work, they go in before the Special Forces do, since they are, like mentioned, deemed expendable. [img]http://zoknowsgaming.files.wordpress.com/2008/07/bcopening.jpg[/img] A picture of the main characters, from left to right: Preston Marlowe, Sweetwater, Haggard and Sarge, also known as "Red". Here is a very brief look on the characters that appear in the game. If you'd like a more indepth look on each of the characters, click on their names. [b][url=http://battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/Preston_Marlowe]Preston Marlowe[/url]:[/b] The player takes on the role of Preston Marlowe, B-Company's latest addition. The reason behind Preston's sudden move to B-Company is quite unknown, but it involves him flying a helicopter recklessly and most likely crashing. Hopefully more detail about Preston will be revealed as the series continues. [b][url=http://battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/Sergeant_Redford]Sargeant Redford[/url]:[/b] Sargeant Redford, or "Red" as they call him, is the leader of the squad and he is the most responsible of the four. He is unique in many ways compared to the other, mostly because he's the only one that volunteered to join B-Company. By doing so, he is now only three days away from retirement. After that, no more fighting for him. Just fishing in Marlin. [b][url=http://battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/George_Haggard_Jr.]George Haggard Jr[/url].: [/b] Haggard got transferred to B-Company after an incident where he shows his love for explosions by blowing up a very large fuel deopt that belonged to the US military. Haggard is the clown of the group and is usually the one that says and does the most memorable things throughout the game. [b]Sweetwater (no indepth page about him):[/b] Sweetwater is the squad's smart guy, or nerd as Haggard likes to call him. Red tends to nag at him aswell for talking too much. Haggard and Sweetwater have an almost brother like relationship, where Haggard is the big brother. They, at times, behave like two kids on a long car ride throughout the game. His story is rather amusing, he somehow managed to upload a virus to the US army's mainframe and was forced to serve in B-Company as punishment. Before this incident, he was saving money so that he could go to colledge, guess that won't happen anytime soon.. [b]The story of Bad Company 1:[/b] It all starts with a very "simple" reconissance. But it's never that easy now is it..? In the beginning, they act as the army's slaves and do what they are told to do. But then something.. something shiny catches their attention. GOLD! I don't want to spoil the fun for you, so go play it! Since this thread is about BC2 I won't jump into details about the first game's singleplayer. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [b]The story of Bad Company 2:[/b] Little is known about it, but recently a singleplayer reveal trailer was released: [url]http://youtube.com/watch?v=7lkytZk9uyc[/url] [b]New features in Bad Company 2:[/b] Improved destruction! Now complete buildings can fall over when shot at. You can also chip away small pieces of cover so that you can make holes in a concrete wall so that you can see through it and still use it as cover. More gamemodes! There is Conquest, Rush, Squad Deathmatch and Squad Rush. Plenty to keep you and your friends busy for hours! Improved gameplay! The bad parts of the gameplay from the first game have been fixed and the good stuff has been refined to make this game a lot better than the first game! Improved vehicle physics! At last, DICE has fixed up the otherwise clunky physics that is found in previous titles such as BC1 and BF2. The vehicles behave a lot better now and it's much easier to drive. Which allowes for much more mayham with vehicles! New weapons and unlocks! Customize your weapons and make them the way you want them to be. Add scopes, granadelaunchers and other attatchments to your weapons. New and improved class system! Now you can customize the class of your choice to make it suit your playstyle a lot more, adding more freedome to the game. [b]A new singleplayer campaign![/b] The story of Preston, Red, Haggard and Sweetwater continues, now in brand new and excotic locations! And a whole lot more!

You can't center things. It's disabled.

Oh. Shame.

Why was the BF section closed?

[QUOTE=Xybjj;21401959]Why was the BF section closed?[/QUOTE] As much as I love this game, the section was really declining in posts. [editline]06:33AM[/editline] Although for the life of me I can't figure out why the Call Of Duty section is still around, it seems like it gets even less posts.

[QUOTE=ketchup;21401966]As much as I love this game, the section was really declining in posts. [editline]06:33AM[/editline] Although for the life of me I can't figure out why the Call Of Duty section is still around, it seems like it gets even less posts.[/QUOTE] Yeah I agree with this. I think there would be more activity in a megathread here in General Discussion anyway.

Why did the sub-forum close? It was well populated and these mega threads are pain to read through if you have questions/need answers. Damn Ninjas! But 1 question I got is is that has anyone else had Modern Infantry Combat randomly added to their Veteran Status?It also seems to count my Bad Company 2 towards it, but hey, I'm not moaning, I got the Garand for free now!

[QUOTE=Teh_Cheese;21401894] [b]PS: [highlight]Make sure to tell me if you spot any errors. Large chance there are plenty since I wrote this myself. Thanks![/highlight][/b][/QUOTE] no you didn't shame the forum was closed now i have to come to this thread and reads through 100 posts every time

What about the Dr. Pepper gift thread? How's that going to work in one megathread?

[QUOTE=Teh Zip File;21402200]What about the Dr. Pepper gift thread? How's that going to work in one megathread?[/QUOTE] Separate thread?

Actually, it's still up. I can't be arsed to keep running the threads now so I won't rage about how sombody copies the OP. Doesn't matter now.

[QUOTE=CommanderPT;21402501]Actually, it's still up. I can't be arsed to keep running the threads now so I won't rage about how sombody copies the OP.

[QUOTE=ketchup;21402532]So you're not going to kick and scream and call people names like a 3 year old again? Damn. I was looking forward to that.[/QUOTE] Nope. Ps: My birthday was last week and I am 17 now. So I'm not three. :buddy:

There is another [url=http://www.tacobell.com/promo/ea]promotion[/url] as well, from Taco Bell this time.

[QUOTE=Lucky turl;21403275]There is another [url=http://www.tacobell.com/promo/ea]promotion[/url] as well, from Taco Bell this time.[/QUOTE] It's the same Dr. Pepper promotion, you just get the same codes from the cups.

Should've closed COD subforum instead :saddowns:

So we can't have custom forums, we just have to deal with all this opening/closing sub-forums bullshit?

[QUOTE=ketchup;21402532]So you're not going to kick and scream and call people names like a 3 year old again? Damn. I was looking forward to that.[/QUOTE] Um, everyone on FP does that.

I hate it when you pull off a magical rpg shot on a moving heli only to have it hurdle towards the ground without killing anyone in it.

I don't understand why they removed Battlefield Sub forums. It still have active posts. Plus I was about to talk on how annoying it is to have your tank stolen by your enemies or retarded team mates in battlefield series.

[QUOTE=BCell;21404697]I don't understand why they removed Battlefield Sub forums. It still have active posts.

On a related note why is the Apache much more difficult to fly than the Havoc on Atacama Desert?

Can't believe they closed the much more active Battlefield forum for Splinter Cell. What a joke.

[QUOTE=Tymoschuk;21404764]Oh God when I jump out of the Hind/Blackhawk to repair it some douchebag [b]always[/b] takes the pilot seat and I have to be a gunner again. [/QUOTE] I love being the gunner. Kills galore.

[QUOTE=Andriko123;21404644]I hate it when you pull off a magical rpg shot on a moving heli only to have it hurdle towards the ground without killing anyone in it.[/QUOTE] Then you go camp where they parachute down. The best helicopter take down map is Isla Innocences because the helicopters go over water and they enemies cannot shoot in the water, so you can easily kill them.

Can someone help me? I can't join any games at all, the play now button can't find any games EVER, my stats seem to have been reset since last night. I only bought this on thursday, and I'm beginning to regret buying it since I can't play the fucking multiplayer. For fuck sake can't dice ever make a good server browser?

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOxB7fnrdas[/media] Reposting because people liked it and it's awesome.

I don't understand, atleast every thread in the CoD sub-forum contains rants or flaming yet us Battlefield people hardly complain... most of things that we do complain about is the M60, Punkbuster, and sometimes the faulty kicks from the servers. Three things to what, maybe 10x the amount that CoD rants and flames about. I disapprove this removal. :colbert:

Am I the only one that is rather pissed about the closing of the section? We had project threads and shit, threads for other battlefield games than just BC2, the thread for dr. pepper codes and stuff.

Why can't they just leave the old sub forums open and do something like this? -- General Games Discussion -- MMO Discussion - World of Warcraft -- Console Discussion - Sony - Nintendo - XBOX -- Other games - ArmA - Battlefield - Bioshock - Borderlands - Elder Scrolls Series - Fallout Series - Facewound - Grand Theft Auto Series - S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series - The Sims 3 - Valve Games and Mods Yeah I know, server space and stuff eh. It's just a Idea.

Where the FUCK did the subforum go.
