Battlefield Bad Company 2 V4 - Helicopter Camping Mini Game Confirmed - Games

[QUOTE=wuzzimu;20393191]I don't see how people can be consistently bad at flying. It only takes a few moments to get adjusted to the controls....[/QUOTE] It took me quite a while. I just went into empty servers and practiced and I got the feel of it. However I can't be fucked to go and fly. Fighting for a chopper is a bitch.

To be honest I prefer to be the gunner. I'm a good pilot, but the Apache's machine gun dominates.

I agree with you, but I much prefer to have control of the Apache. The missiles are a bitch to use though.

To avoid getting your ass kicked by infantry, it's better to spam missiles from a distance, or do strafing runs, but high in the air. Either way some of your rockets are going to miss, but you have less of a chance of getting hit by a tracer dart or a rocket.

It's games like these that make me wish that my dad wasn't so superior on buying multiplatform games on the 360 I would like this game on the PC, but even if i tried that on my dad he would laugh.. Not really, my dad isn't evil, he would just say no. makes me wish i lived in my own place where i could then order Front Army with ease and do whatever the fuck i want... Just realized i went into my own little rant there...

[QUOTE=Skwee;20394575]1. get your own money 2. buy game[/QUOTE] My dad give's me allowence and extra for work around the house, but he still controls what I buy.

Any other Australians notice Bad Company 2 is now $70 USD on Steam for us? I was hoping EA wouldn't do that, I'm glad I pre-ordered before the increase but.

[QUOTE=1nfiniteseed;20394248]I agree with you, but I much prefer to have control of the Apache. The missiles are a bitch to use though.[/QUOTE] Yeah, why can't we have hellfires?

How can he control what you buy? [editline]09:05AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Ignhelper;20394695]Yeah, why can't we have hellfires?[/QUOTE] I think that's the secondary weapon

After the optimization my game was running fucking perfect at all highest settings DX10 + 4x AA but now all of the sudden it's running like shit no matter what settings I put it on. What is this

I may be getting flamed for it but just download [url]http://www.majorgeeks.com/Game_Booster_d5952.html[/url] It's not a magic "makes your PC have a 5970" program, but shuts down obvious and obscure background programs not being used whilst gaming. Meaning more resources for the game to use.

This last update fucked up the sound for me it seems. I can hear everything except for voices now. Well i can hear voices, but it's really really quiet. Anyone else getting this?

New update? Got any changelog?

25% Damage increase on weapons just saved this game for me. I can't wait.

I can't decide whether to get this on the PC or 360. My personal checklist would be as follows: PC - *Better Controls *Better teammates, usually 360 - *Less potential debugging and whatnot (I have bad memories of every previous BF game in this area) *I'll actually use the headset *Couch I guess the main thing preventing me from getting it on the 360 is that I prefer mouse aiming. Although, I can aim with the analog sticks pretty damn well, so I guess it's not too bad, but being able to switch equipment with the number keys is also a plus.

Agh, so I download the Client and when I try to play it says I need a key or something. Where do I get that??

[QUOTE=Bassmonger;20395340]Agh, so I download the Client and when I try to play it says I need a key or something. Where do I get that??[/QUOTE] Are you shitting me

Fuck it. Demo ends tomorrow anyway. [editline]10:02PM[/editline] Oh, I need to preorder it? Gah I don't have a credit card.

[QUOTE=Bassmonger;20395367]Fuck it. Demo ends tomorrow anyway. [/QUOTE] It's not a demo, it is a beta.

I hope you guys don't mind me asking, but take a look at these specs Intel Core 2 Duo E4600 2,40GHz 3GB Ram Nvidia 9500 GT (1GB) And i'm running Windows Vista. Am I able to run this game decent enough? (Or is there still a way to enter the beta if I pre-order on steam?)

[QUOTE=Bassmonger;20395367]Fuck it. Demo ends tomorrow anyway. [editline]10:02PM[/editline] Oh, I need to preorder it? Gah I don't have a credit card.[/QUOTE] You should do what the avatar of yours do, for me. And you're a tool.

[QUOTE=Bassmonger;20395367]Fuck it. Demo ends tomorrow anyway. [editline]10:02PM[/editline] Oh, I need to preorder it? Gah I don't have a credit card.[/QUOTE] You are smart.

This game still runs shitty for me :( 280m gtx Sli'd, 2.00 ghz quad core cpu, 4 gigs of ram, and the game plays even after the update at around 20-50 fps with everything on low and/or off, and with a low resolution. :\ It's playable, but annoying as fuck that I can't put one setting higher than minimum without having it becoming unplayable. I can run Crysis at 40 fps on maxed out settings and res, I understand it's in the beta stage, but everyone is talking about how the update gave them an extra fps boost, and now it's playable at like medium/high graphics, but shit didn't happen for me, I even re installed it :( also, is anyone having their latencies not showing up? Instead of numbers I just get dashes ( - ).. :\
