Valve should create as part of steamworks a server browser system games can just plugin and start directing their games to the right servers.

Last night i started trying to get on servers at 9:50. Around 10:25 I connected to my first server. Two minutes later i white-screened and had to kill BFBC2 and was back at the server browser. About 10:40 I got on to a server, to be joined by pARODY shortly after. About 15 minutes later i crashed again but managed to get straight back in to the same server and played through till i crashed at 11:50

So... 3 crashes, about 50 minutes of trying to connect to servers and about 70 minutes of gaming

but those 70 minutes were f***ing sweet!

Well for my 2 cents i have to say that so far i haven't had one crash, tear or artifact in game and apart from the obviously broken and in dire need of patching server browser, the game is awesome. I was thinking back to when BF2 first arrived and if i can remember rightly, they had the same sort of dramas with their browser as well. Still you think they would have learned by now hey?

Just a thing to try that may help... If you let the server browser search it takes ages and when i finally brings up servers, nearly all the local ones in my case have - for the ping... lame... but what i've been doing is let the browser start it's search and about 20 - 30 seconds in cancel it. Wait for a few seconds and usually out of no where a partial list shows up. Funny thing is tho, it has a s***e load more low ping local servers on it... i managed to add about 10 of em to my favourites and now i just use that or my friends list to find games... Hard to find an empty slot mind you, but even servers with 2 - 3 people will be maxxed by the time you've capped the first point so i never worry about joining empty's...

For mine tho, even with a busted arse browser, this game still betters MW2... trying to get a game in that is f***ing horrible... once the server browsers fixed in BC2 i doubt i'll be going back...

It's easy to do in BF2:

Delete the Dice, EA, Intro, and Legal .bik files from your EA Games\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\Movies folder.


wonder if it's the same process?

Seems to be getting buggier for me every day. The server browsing is enough to make the baby jesus cry, the crappy friends setup where you have to click on them 400 times before the game actually lets you join the sever is detrimental to the health of anything within reach at the time. And I can't tell you how much I just love the added feature of having to set up my kit every-f***ing-time I join a server - which I might add is quite often as the game will kick you at least 20 times a night due to a myriad of reasons ranging from PB failed init's to EA server connection errors, or even just because it wanted to.

Other than the above, I love the game. It runs smooth (when working) and has some great elements of game play. I can see myself playing this one for a long time to come, as long as they fix some serious issues soon and I don't end up RQ'ing and setting my PC on fire....

DONT DO THAT. You need to replace them wiht 0 size files. So just open notepad and save a blank notepad thingo over them.

Has anyone been able to find a way to join a server via IP ADDRESS? There are many sites around such as THIS however you cant type them into the gamesettings.ini, instead those favorte servers in that ini use some weird GUID type thing that I cant work out.

Anyone had luck with that?

It's quite possible you were trying to join a server with reserved slots. I remember trying to join my m8's, it had 24 out of 32 people.. No matter how many times I kept trying to connect, it wouldn't let me and it wouldn't say why. I then realised I was joining a clan pub server that had 8 reserved slots.

I hear EA isn't allowing any new servers until they sort out the issues on their end (with PB)..

the TOG comp team filled out already =( anyone in a clan(that has their own server) looking for a A++ medic for comp?

Had a weird flickering texture error before which a mate showed us how to fix really easily.

ALT + ENTER (puts the game in windowed mode) , move the game window down a bit and hit ALT + ENTER again (returns game to fullscreen) which must force it to redraw an *viola* all flickering gone.

Why do you support a developer who had a 'beta' released that had all these issues described, especially the server browser, and not have them fixed for release?

Enjoy your broken server browser, because it probably isn't going to be fixed anytime soon.

Don't get me wrong, the game is amazing fun. If it weren't for the server f***ups, I'd recommend it 100%. The EA servers are back up now, and playing tonight was totally painless. None of the annoying little quirks it's had over the past week. Hopefully whatever they did to the servers today has solved a lot of their issues.

But yeah, it's an awesome game. The single player campaign is pretty cool too. If you're into Battlefield, I'd say you may as well just get it, it'll be stable soon enough, if it's not already.

I'm off to buy a new monitor from CA's. Over the last year I've had huge issues with my 28" Viewsonic and nvidia drivers not working properly over HDMI. And looking on google heaps of other people have been too. It would be fine if the monitor had DVI but it only supports VGA and HDMI.

So anyway, I need the latest drivers to play BC2 because the textures are breaking up and making it impossible to play. Bad thing is I have to take a 1" hit and settle for a 27" display. Good thing is it goes up to 2048 x 1152.

Wish me luck!

Press M1 and hold it and you will stay scoped, this will let you see the bullet drop and depending on the accuracy of the rifle, horizontal shearing, though there is nothing you can do for shear.

After awhile you get good at ranging and don't need a ranging shot.
As a reasonable guide, close range, zero horizontal or vertical adjustment.

Medium range - Approximately 3mm above the target for a high center mass to headshot. For a moving target, about 3mm lead for a running person, for a sprinting person about 4-5mm.

Long range - The desert map in conquest cycle (the tank one with the Factory as C, NOT atacama with the attack choppers), for example to hit a person standing on the roof of C, from the RU deployment area at the bottom of the hill (shooting through the ruins of D) you'll need nearly 7mm of vertical adjustment above the player, on the M95 or M24 this equates to about 3/4 of the first range marker on the crosshair), good luck hitting a moving target at this range, but it is possible ;)

For short to mid range and a person moving perpendicular to you on an ATV, whereby they take up half your scope as it is, you need to lead 1/2 to 3/4 of your scope on top of that in front and fire.

Have an accuracy of 36% at the moment with the m95 though it's on the rise and seeing anywhere from 40-60% accuracy on average per round these days.

Only thing that's really difficult to hit after awhile is people moving erratically with no obvious pattern if you happen to miss the first shot, or what more likely happens, you hit but don't kill (even with the m95 and magnum ammo!)

God f***ing dammit, first they drop the steam price back down the day I get a solid copy, and now they offer a deal pack. Why didn't they have this s*** prior to release? I was going to get a deal pack with some friends...

Been playing with the Assault's smoke grenades all night trying out its effectiveness. What I have found is it can be godly with a few adjustments.
The smoke clears too fast, and the size of the cloud isn't big enough. The clouds are barely bigger then a grenade splash zone.
As it is, to hold down a decent smoke screen you really need one dedicated player with an ammo box pumping an area with smoke over and over.
That said, it is a great offence and defence on rush maps around Mcoms. Few players realize what is going on if you lay down a cloud about an Mcom to set it. And if you have to decrypt, a cloud will shield you from snipers.
Also great to lull people into traps and ambushes.

Can anybody explain how on things like Atacama desert, some people seem to be able to easily see clear across the entire map?
E.G. You get in a chopper and someone goes straight to the AA gun, they seem to be able to fire at you from behind your own base (which, if I recall, is too far with the fog haze to spam SPOT and just shoot at the marker)

Sounds like hax Mephz. Some people turn gfx right down low and res to 640x480 to get more kills. Sometimes turning gfx down low can remove critical items like grass and fog. You think you're hiding in a big patch of grass, but then someone shoots you from 500m away. One issue with PC players having many different hardware setups.

There are already hax out there for BFBC2 that are quite advanced, and since most servers don't have PB enabled, I'm sure there are a fair few using them. Search youtube for FPSCHEATS and you'll see what I mean.

Its a bit hit or miss with this game...

I've got E6750 OC @ 3.0Ghz, 4GB of DDR 2 and 1GB GTX 285 and i get this wierd lag/jerk issue to the point its not even playable e.g. sits on 25 fps and doesnt go much higher even with everything on low or off.

Then i have my laptop Core2Duo 2.5Ghz, 4GB of DDR 2, ATi HD4570 and i get 45 fps and i can even put it on Medium.

Believe it or not its the only game that runs faster on my laptop even with the exact same settings.ini. PC version has issues with certain OS and hardware setups me thinks.

After spending 3-4 nights tinkering, tweaking and updating my gaming box i gave up... i got so frustrated i went out and bought it for PS3 and im lovin it on PS3. I aint gonna spend a $1,000 to upgrade my mobo, CPU to i7 and ram to DDR3 just for 1 badly designed game, screw that for a joke. Especially when i can pretty much max out every single other game.

They got level-of-detail (LOD) right with ArmA I reckon. When you zoom away from grass it changes from being a post-processed effect into being a billboard texture (even slightly bigger sometimes!). That means that you are guaranteed 100% concealment. The grass just isn't as pretty from a distance (function weighted above form ftw).

@ET: you could download FRAPS to do it.

Also, still need one more Steam person to go in on this 3 for 4 pack. PM me.

Well thats a depressing video, I don't understand the mind of someone who would use a hack like that. If you're so s*** at the game you need to use a hack to do any good, go and find a different f***ing game to play.

Do the Gamearena servers and the internode servers (does internode even have servers for it?) use punkbuster? And does punkbuster find this thing?

Punkbuster is s***. Lols me that games use it.

Also people don't cheat to win, they do it to piss people off.

Punk buster might be s*** but VAC is worse from what I hear. Someone said hackers get banned 7 days after they get detected or something and with all the stolen/hijacked accounts getting rid of them is pretty impossible. That's just what I've read on forums and heard on the grape vine though, none of that info comes right from valve so it's probably false.

So what's bad company like if you don't have any friends to play it with? Do you just join a server full of randoms or what?

wow this totally explains some of the bs i came across today in a pub

I actually was thinking WTF this mofo knifed me as he was jumping backwards before he even saw me.. 'auto knife pple when they are in range' totally explains it! Happened twice >< Also a few times id be flanking and a mofo would come back completly out of normal gameplay take me out.. i just guessed there was a UAV thing up.

f***ing cheating c***s ruining this game already

I've heard sometimes you close your eyes because the game is too easy with your eyes open. Is that true?

It's all about the spotting, get on a team that doesn't spot and you're boned.

How do you put in specific server IP's to join though? I'm still stuck playing on the single 3FL server that the browser picks up.

Love the game, level 8 medic, havent played anything else yet.

PLUS :
-Squads that work together make this game, love having a balanced squad.
-Sound and visuals are yumm, standing next to a tank when it fires is wicked. Scares the s*** out of my kids when the subwoofer goes off (Yes its true, I dont give a f*** if the tank shots are louder than re-runs of Thomas the tank engine).
-Vechile variety is great

MINUS :
-No server side auto balance, "soandso switches sides" 18 on 5, or all level 30+ one side all 1-10 other side.
-Too many f***ing snipers..trying to dins someone to actually attack a camp with 14 snipers out of 16 players is dongs.
-Adding friends to your Friends list seems really crappy.
-Server browser is better than it was, but still feels a chore.

Someone School e on the "Q" key. In BF2 it bought up a menu for orders and such. If I'm looking at a target, it does something, but how can I ask for ammo or help ect?
Is this another current bug or am I doing it wrong?

I guess that makes sense that someone should be near bye in order to ask for it.

And aim at a objective to give attack orders.
Also it is hard to tell what a class is unless they are in your squad. You kinda have to look at their gear and take a guess.
and they need to add the class symbol to the respawn menu for your squad mates. Can't tell what they are.

They need to let you view chat when your dead ffs. Really love the game play but there are so many little annoying things that just make you wonder wtf they were thinking.

HQ Rush is awesome btw.

No one is using voice. I found one guy once. Why is that? Can people hear me when I'm dead? Screaming there's two guys on the roof.. On the f***ing roof.. I even spawned back and said I some more.

No one seemed to pay attention until I team typed it.

hahaha, nice koopz. I blame opera, uTorrent and Live msngr running in the background for the crash. There is no substance to it, other than the electro-magnetic radiation caused by the proximity of wires in your ceiling and the cat hair in the CPU fan. ^_^

Nah, not at that range through scrub. The beach jungle map. I was on defense right at last base an this dude was coming down from where the first defense point is at the beach.

Was watching him play last night an surprise surprise, decepticon mcchucklef*** gets banned for AIMBOT by punkbuster.
Almost made me cry with joy when I saw about 5 others get snapped in a few seconds for same hacks.

some maps I do 5:1... others (ice maps at night) I can't see s*** and get pwned left right and center.

over the weekend I got told I'm ranked in the top ten medics in the world atm so that kinda brings some suspicion...

I have no idea why though - people die - I pick em up. *NO ONE DOES THIS* ..

atm medic class has the an awesomely overpowered M60..

I bet the EA nerf is on the way though

You do have the habit of resing them into fire though :P.

But how they have determined that is something I would like to know.

atm medic class has the an awesomely overpowered M60..
Friend told they're looking at redoing the M60, M1911 and some other guns. Do not know where they got that info from though.

The M60 is ok, but ever since I got platinum on that I changed to the saw. Have platinum on that too and now have to find another gun to use :(.

The M60 nerf talk was from twitter

Going back to the studio tomorrow to work on Balance tweaks. On the list: M60, M1911, and AA. Up, down, sideways? I won't say...

Its okay Pinky, I am astounded at how much of a nub I feel at this game, it is enjoyable but everyone seems to have much bigger guns than me. I seem to do better on the smaller maps where I can get up close with the shotgun, seems to even the playing field a little. The worst thing is I can't even fire up a lan server for a bit of bot practice.

I changed my clan's server to 10v10 Rush with FF turned on the other day. We have been playing that and its outstanding, since the Rush maps are a bit smaller than normal I just find 16v16 too crowded, no sooner do you spawn you get camped with the M60 or splashed with either spam or Gustav. At least with 10v10 it opens it up a bit and gives you time to scratch your arse before getting pwned.

Having FF turned on is nice too, at least you don't get phaggots spamming their toes, or their squad mates in knife fight to steal a kill.

Join us if you want, just put [cv] into the browser filter and it is the only server that comes up.

We too have a clan server, just search for |AgB| (|= shift+backslash = crosshair)... it's a Hypernia Sydney server running 32 player Conquest, seems to be what most people are playing atm.

Carl Gustav is your friend.

edit: oh and I have found it to be very stable to play on and have never crashed (seems to be an important thing these days)

mines mitchconner. Tend to play rush abit lately

EDIT : Used to use the M60 with medic but i changed to the MG36 ( i think ), its the LMG that has sniper zooming scope and is super accurate. Raked up some pretty good scores with it.
