Battlefield Bad Company 2 on a gaming PC

Ahh i see, I thought you might have been talking about Medal of honour, I only just got into it, just in time for Black ops to come out and now no one is ever online so i cant play online anymore lol

tbh I'm kinda over Black Ops multiplayer already. MUCH prefer BFBC2, graphics are also a ton better!

trust me you will be over bad company 2 soon, i stopped playing when i reached level 30. Black ops you can play alone and have a fun time, to have a really fun time in bc2 you need to have mates playing at the same time

not really, I just play on public servers with randoms all the time, like every other online shooter (apart from TF2). I like that even if the team isn't working cohesively together, you can still use individual skill to achieve objectives as well!

What's your username Ash?

Lol only the past week or so I've FINALLY bothered to start playing it online, and I was like :happy: omg this shits all over CODBLOPS in everything!!!!

Can't get over how good it looks, and the destructible environments, and that not only can I run it smoothly with everything turned right up on my i5/GTX460 rig, but the lag at even 100ms is still better than COD with 40-50ms!

You'll be over it pretty quick if you face a competent pilot in a Hind/Apache.

Oh, any ping that is displayed is not what you're expecting, halve it and it's about the same as other games calcs but there is also massive lag compensation. Having a bad game? Go to a Euro server and prepare for lulz.

I am Helfarch in BC2, mostly play Rush when I get on and just dick around as most teams are fair shit. I was full rage last night a team was so bad. I didn't even know you could lose a Rush round that quickly, I'd plant and then realise that I was the only one alive or not failsniping from spawn.

haha yeah I have played with a few fail teams, especially when everyone wants to be a sniper, guess you have to pick your servers! my username strangely enough is Bozodos

I tried flying a helicopter a few times, ended in lulz and team rage :happy:

I had a few issues with lag, but the compensation must be a shitload better than COD (ie not like shoot directly at someone, game lags and then I get stabbed every time)

I tried flying a helicopter a few times, ended in lulz and team rage :happy:

lol reminds me of the first time I flew helicopter:

"Oh cool a helicopter!"

Jumps in.

Rest of team jumps in behind me.

I fly straight up, sideways, and into a cliff.

Insert team rage.

no idea lol just hit me up on steam. if I'm logging in, I'm around :)

and LOL @ helo... fken hilarious :happy:

I'm pretty sure my only objectives these days in BC2 is to use shit guns, be secretly devestated that 'all bronze stars' is effectively locked out from account unless I start again and finally get more than 300 marksman bonus.

This is the BC2 thread right?

Barrell rolls - it's what choppers do when I even think about being the pilot.

On topic - interesting indeed and shows how far behind todays PCs these ancient consoles are.

The 3D version of Black Ops on PS3 really isn't very satisfying at all, unfortunately. The 2D game already operates with a clear performance deficit in comparison to the 360 version and the additional drag factor of rendering for both eyes can impact playability immensely at times. We've logged the PS3 game running as low as 20FPS - and that's just in the very first street battle in the initial Cuba level.

Nasty.

played black ops on a mate's 360 last night, seamless gaming experience. seriously WTF. how the f**k can dedicated servers lag like a bitch when shooting at someone, yet playing on a peer hosted match on 360 is perfect.

both on cruddy little 1.5mb connections too.

That is unreal lol. I had a lucky bit where I shot someone, was reloading and someone else popped out, threw a flashbang, hid, finished reloading then managed to kill another 2 people that had been hit with the flash lol

but nothing like the video, I could never manage that

played the single player, almost complete in a few hours.

i reckon there is more cinematic crap than gameplay. each mission takes a few mins it seems?

graphics are not outstanding (failing of a console port really).

overall, unimpressed. BC2 was better. Glad i borrowed it from a mate...

yep I never finished single player, music is cool and its fun for a bit but you get over it pretty quick

my brother in law is a PC guy and he doesn't bother with the COD series, reckons the BF series much better for gaming PC

he watched me play COD on PS3 and was impressed tho, as Bozodos said its pretty seamless on console... black ops still isn't as smooth as MW2 for online though, I'm getting lots of drop outs etc, can be frustrating but I'm sure they'll patch it up

you can't really compare gaming PC with a 6 year old console... if you had a 6 year old PC and tried to play a newly released game your whole rig would melt into a pile of gray poop

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
