Twonky Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Had another excellent evening playing this, including a truly insane rush round (Nelson Pass map, or something like that) where it got so intense as defenders we were reduced to broadcasting Aliens quotations at each other ('Stay frosty', 'You're not reading it right', 'RIPLEEEY!', 'You want some of this? Fuck you!', 'They're coming out of the goddamned walls!' etc). Obviously it helps if you've seen Aliens fifty times. Absolutely awesome game, I'd be inclined to say it's the best multiplayer ever, overtaking Quake 2, CounterStrike 1.6, and BF2142 in my personal hall of fame.

Twonky Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Manx server not showing up on the browser for me, is it still up? It's been passworded for a while, we've been, ahem, erm, cough cough, doing a bit of stat-padding. (The default search won't return passworded servers.) I've taken the password off, it's now running 32 player rush on the full map rotation. I wouldn't normally condone stat-padding but when everyone else is running around with all the best guns and gadgets, you need a level playing field - especially with Mental M60 Magnum Ammo Medics running amok. Rumours are the M60 is getting a nerf in the next patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thargoid Killer Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Nerfing the 40mm grenade would be a better option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarbunny Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I wold be much happier if they fixed the connection and lag issues before nerfing weapons, but if they really must nerf then maybe they should start with the CG that the engineers have.

Twonky Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I wold be much happier if they fixed the connection and lag issues Is this on the PC version? After the initial couple of wobbly weeks, it's been pretty much completely stable for me and my mates. I believe the 360 version still has its fair share of problems, particularly with lag.

K.os Theory Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 I believe the 360 version still has its fair share of problems, particularly with lag. I've been playing the 360 version almost constantly and haven't suffered any problems with lag ( just lucky I guess ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarbunny Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Yep issues on the PC, mainly massive lag spikes/server crashes, could just be an issue with the server I spend most of my time on but unlikely. Managed a 9000 point round last night, a long fought round of Rush playing as an engineer on the attackers side. I did notice that after the first 5 or so repair pins they stopped appearing until I respawned, maybe some sort of anti grind mechanic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devil Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Sloww server browsing!! Keep trying to add ya server to my favs but keeps waiting for information meh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somewhatdamaged Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I hope they fix the current problem on the Radeon 58** series cards where you are always the last to join the map due to the countdown going super slow. I never manage to get a bloody vehicle because of it! Need to see more people on the Manx Headshot server, I'm up for a game though just add me to Steam. Username sdamaged123 i feel sorry for the console guys having to play this with a joypad - it must be an absolute bloody nightmare trying to get headshots with the sniper rifle. Unless they just add an auto aim thingy for the Xbox players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somewhatdamaged Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Fair enough, i think if you had both PC and console though, you would prefer playing using the keyboard and mouse as the gamepad can't possibly keep up with it However, some people prefer to game from the couch etc so i do understand why they might prefer the console. I prefer top quality graphics and frame rate over comfort though. I played Modern Warfare 2 on the PS3 and thought it looked quite poor, but that's probably only due to the fact i completed it on my PC first I guess as far as console games go, it looked pretty good. Incidentally, do they have aim assit on BFBC2 like Modern Warfare 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
