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

[QUOTE=StupidUsername67;20400555]it should have automatically downloaded through the updater.[/QUOTE] I launched the updater thing, and it tells me that I'm not running the latest version. When I click yes update, it says it lost connection to the server and that I have to play the old version.

[QUOTE=CommanderPT;20399706]Yes and lets leave the warez discussion where it belongs. Thanks.[/QUOTE] Just telling! Who said I wanted people to torrent it!? I will buy this game, that's for sure!

Can't wait, only one week left! (EU aka March 4th)

[QUOTE=StupidUsername67;20400524]So I take it everybody and their mom will be driving around with extra firepower and tracer darts.[/QUOTE] Pretty much. At least for the first few days until the late buyers start trickling in. And unless the order of unlocks changed, the limited edition unlocks come pretty early on anyway. (But in the beta the alternate fire for vehicles was the last vehicle unlock, so who knows.)

Question for those who were in PS3 beta, does the vehicle alt fire replace your main gun, or just add an additional weapon?

What's the site where i can get free keys?

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;20401466]Question for those who were in PS3 beta, does the vehicle alt fire replace your main gun, or just add an additional weapon?[/QUOTE] Additional weapon. It's pretty slick.

So, co-axial gun for tank, right? What's it for UAV? The machinegun? Chopper? Hellfires? Just making assumptions here.

[QUOTE=Zezibesh;20401546]So, co-axial gun for tank, right? What's it for UAV? The machinegun? Chopper? Hellfires? Just making assumptions here.[/QUOTE] Yes to all of it. The hellfires are especially fun.

They should make so that lightweight pack and vehicle armor are the default specializations. Lightweight makes sense since you're carrying less equipment, and armor could be traded for other specializations once you unlock them.

Does the gunner of the Apache / black hawk / tank etc get an additional weapon too, if he uses it? Or is it just for the driver? This is the specialization I've been waiting for :3:

I loved the demo so much I sold MW2 so I can pre order BC2

I'm bloody annoyed now, buy the game on last day of the beta thinking I could try it out before the beta goes offline. But no it refuses to work, crashing to desktop whenever I try and connect to a server, either by the browser or the play now button.

What was this update I just got for?

[QUOTE=ketchup;20402281]What was this update I just got for?[/QUOTE] Yep, another client is heading your way on auto update (within the next 15 minutes) and Steam (in about 1 hour when Valve presses the button when they get into the office). This will be the LAST update before the Beta closes on the 25th and any issues found in here will still be taken and looked at to be fixed on the retail version of the game. Here is the usual changelog from Kalms (I'm sure some of you will be happy with this one ) Quote: * Likely fix for "5-minute disconnects". Try it out, and say whether it helps or if you are still getting booted (if so: after how long? and always after the same amount of time?) What happened on some machines was this: When you are logged in, your game client has TCP connections to two of EA's master servers. During a game, there isn't much traffic on all those connections. Therefore, the master servers send dummy transactions every 150s. This is so your game client knows that the connection hasn't been broken. Well, guess what? It seems that they don't send dummy transactions to all players. Why not? Nobody knows. So what the R4 client does, is that when it has seen 160s of idleness on a connection, it sends a dummy transaction. This was enough to get rid of the disconnects on the test machines. Oh, and: when the nearest known problem location is in Poland, the master servers are in the US, and you have no direct access to either machine... then debugging is a convoluted process. * Workaround for speaker setups. If one of your speakers has lower volume (or is totally silent), try with one of the following lines in your Settings.ini: o SpeakerCount=2 o SpeakerCount=4 o SpeakerCount=6 Again, let us know if it doesn't help. Rather few changes this time around - it's getting more and more difficult to "lift" changes from the retail version into the closed beta version. Also, you may have read about people being able to crash others' machines with long clantags and nasty chat messages? There is server-side filtering in Server R8, and RSPs begun rolling those out a few hours ago.

Beta was pissing me off I watched a gameplay video. Suddenly got the urge to play. Had a 4 hour series of games where I kept switching classes. Magically, I suddenly started really enjoying the fuck out of it. Somebody explain.

I FUCKING LOVE getting rammed by UAV while flying the Apache. Seriously, why can the UAV do that, it's bullshit. I tiny little RC helicopter shouldn't push an APACHE into the ground. It needs to be fixed because that is broken.

[QUOTE=CommanderPT;20402828]DICE put their spell on youuu.[/QUOTE] I think it's probably the boost in framerate. It was right around the time the patch happened. [editline]09:39PM[/editline] Also the update just hit steam

Anyone else thinks the snow maps have much worse textures and effects than the desert and jungle maps? Maybe it's just me.

[QUOTE=Skwee;20403164]Well, if something as big as the UAV ran into the rotor blades of the apache, it would fuck the apache up. So that's a good excuse.[/QUOTE] Except that's not what happens. It just hits you and vibrates around on the apache so you can't control it and will just randomly make you do a barrel roll. They should just make the UAV blow up if it rams the helicopter because it literally makes it impossible to fly it if the guy with the UAV decides to be a faggot.

yeah the UAV should blow up if that happens.

Regarding that map in the PC Preview, it is a remake of the beta map, on the veteran's website it showed a map that had a near identical layout in a jungle theme. In fact, I think there is one for all three themes, desert, mountains and jungle.

[QUOTE=Gmod_User;20403301] They should just make the UAV blow up if it rams the helicopter because it literally makes it impossible to fly it if the guy with the UAV decides to be a faggot.[/QUOTE] Wow, you are really quite passionate about this, aren't you?

Will the limited edition unlocks be made available to those who don't buy it?

[QUOTE=Batmoutarde;20398444]Wait the guy in the PC walkthrough was named Noken Is it the Noken who did all those BF2 videos ??? Man if I ever get a better PC this is so on my buying list.[/QUOTE] Yes, Noken works at DICE and does all the promo videos.

[QUOTE=Skwee;20403403]Wow, you are really quite passionate about this, aren't you?[/QUOTE] Yes, because literally EVERY time I get in the apache a UAV rams me. And even if I can get to the point where I can land it to get it repaired it just shoots it's rocket at me and blows me up before anyone can repair it. UAV needs some nerfing really.
