i suck at bfbc2

[Naku_vamp]

seriously i barley understand this game >.> it makes me wanna do bad hings to myself i have never sucked at an fps ever...when i was born i acked mario and turned it into an fps and pwned all those stupid turtles and goombas :cursing:

 

[shadows5631]

You barely understand it?

There's not much to understand. You kill people and blow things up.

 

[m3rryg0r0und]

find what class you like, work at said class...maybe your were not made to be a killer guns ablazing guy but a recon or a medic

 

[Beta]

The game is way different than many of the FPS on the market. The reason is that the maps are bigger, vehicles are crucial in many of them, and there's more customization. It takes time getting used to, especially if you never played a BattleField game.

 

[Naku_vamp]

hmm i thought i said i was a bf vet XD but i forgot to type that sometimes i say stuff and its not everything i wanted to say but yeah im very familiar with the battlefield series played bf2 like it was a religion and played 2142 for a while as well. Normally i was a sniper or a medic (as a medic i was guns abalzing as well as lotsa savin) lol i also played alot of spec ops and snuck around blowing their base stuff up and booby trapping jets and helicopters

Actually my first game i played fine but i was annoyed when i got on tgoday and i can't play any game when im angry or annoyed =/ right after i got fed up with it i went to play tf2 and went like 1-8 and just left for the night >.> now im studying for a psych test im gonna fail

 

[Naku_vamp]

also i don;t understand why
1) no prone....a game like this and no prone >.>
2) i cannot identify enemies or use commands i looked at the key, the key does NOTHING when pressed
3)why (even though they been doing it since 2142) some classes don't have the right equipment, aka medics don't have med kits, or shock paddles until they unlock them basically making being a medic completely useless, i played medic and had teammates running at me yelling medic and i couldn't do a damn thing to help them because i just bought the game

 

[Quest]

I feel your pain. Just get through the basics. Try sniping against snipers without a scope.

The lack of prone bugs me as well....

 

[Furiosity]

also i don;t understand why
1) no prone....a game like this and no prone >.>

It promotes camping, the game is meant to be fast paced, they don't want people hiding everywhere waiting for someone to come by and get a kill. They've said it play-testing the pace was slow with prone. It in was one of the first few interview videos, can't seem to find it.

I'm glad there is none, I hate campers. Like I said, game is meant to be fast paced, only reason you could possibly want prone is to camp, sniper or not.

Prone would make people complain even more about the game (if thats possible)
You'd have:

• prone snipers all over the place
• players going prone/firing upon seeing an enemy
• and as furiosity stated, a slower pace and more camping.

 

[BobWango]

find me on vent sometime, ill help you get a hang of it. its hard at first to understand the physics of everything as far as bullet travel and arcs. it took me a while to get a hang of it myself.

 

[Wally_Higgins]

I personally am glad there is no prone! No more freaking dolphin diving!!

 

[NUFAN]

Im gunna buy this game next week =)

 

[Dudemanguy86]

no prone due to camping issues and a more fast paced game, crouching is perfectly fine with the game as it is now

the "spotting" system is set up so that if you spam the button it won't register because then you could just spam the backdrop scenery from whichever place you'd like and spot everyone via detection upon the mouse passing by their character layout or something; eventually this will lead to an auto-detect hack of sorts that will insta-show all available enemies on a map. I think this is one of the most needed things they have in the game, albeit quite annoying at key moments.

The thing that i don't see happening very often for whatever reason on the eGO servers is people using explosives to topple building walls for backdooring objectives, or using that mounted rocket launcher on the ground to send a missile into the side of a building so it collapses. People need to figure out that things get destroyed when you hit them with other things hard enough, it's cost my team in a round wins at least 10-12 times now on arica harbor (rush rotation and 24/7 maps).

 

[iMpactX]

it takes A LOT of getting used too, especially if your crossing over from a lot of console games like i did, but once you understand the concept of the game, you will really start to love it. and for the spotting problem you had, try pressing Q when you look at enemies a good distance away, if that doesn't work, try re-mapping the key.

 

[Chase]

the "spotting" system is set up so that if you spam the button it won't register

I assure you, it does.

 

[zetas]

Maybe we all sucked alittle in the beginning of this game (except ronpaul!) ?

 

[Quarantine]

I know exactly how you feel. When I first started playing BC2, I was getting killed, blown up, and crushed by vehicles... Its a pain to start the game, but once you get the hang of it, its a pretty awesome game.

 

[Dudemanguy86]

I assure you, it does.

Yes, it does, so long as when you spam that button it's still "landing" on a target. if you scan the top of the mountain in port valdez just laying into your spot button (presumably Q or T as most have it) then you're going to get maybe one person, or you may not get any, or you may get all of them. Either way, once you get one person, if you keep spamming that button; it will not register the spot.

It hasn't done this for me at all since day 1 and i've tested it thoroughly on the PC on the ego servers with an avg ping of 100.

Now, if you were to spot someone, then half a second later, spot another person, then another, then another; that works perfectly, but you can't just "spray n pray" the area hoping for hits/registers on spotting.

Or maybe it's something in my settings dealing with the environment since i have everything full blown balls to the wall graphics OMG pretty and such. I'm kind of curious if spotting takes into account "invisible" terrain if playing at lowest settings with view distance smaller than higher settings... that's kinda lame if it doesn't... punishing people for playing on higher settings

anywho, moral of the story is be precise and don't spam

 

[Naku_vamp]

idk i still like prone i i dont camp with it but it did help fortify and helped in sneaking around XD plus it makes it more realistic in terms of coverage if ur getting shit at and not sure form where and u jump over a wall naturally ud lay down to avoid being hit but now that happens you jump over a wall and crouch now ur head is the ONLY thing they can hit.

and my q button does nothing ever so i will try mapping it to something else...m also getting weird errors in game...none during actual game play its all in the menus they mess up horribly when i pause or something i took some screen shots

 

[Dudemanguy86]

never encountered the errors you're talking about at all, even on my brother's old system; which was bare minimums for this game. He's only got graphical issues pertaining to his system though.

What are the options you have turned on? off? system specs? background programs running? Is everything updated with latest drivers? Those sort of things may fix that, I'm not sure though naku.
