The Huey takes damage from any weapon, havent tried the pistol but its very vulnerable.

Just bought the game the other day. Played 1942 a few years ago and absolutely loved it and am loving this as well, besides the fact that I'm really bad at it

What's played more, Vietnam or vanilla?

Shooting (and hitting) while strafing..

Damage is never important if you can place your hits well while dodging enemy bullets, take that advise from someone who gets banned for "cheating" often..

As in every shooter: Never stop moving.


Like I said, assuming you hit 25% more your overall DPS will remain the same as with magnum ammo, so 25% damage comes out ahead.

Also, getting banned for 'cheating' is nothing, considering how most players that play this game are really bad and think any KDR above 2 is not legit. It's a pub game due to its low skill ceiling.

Hard to tell at the moment. Whenever I joined a game in Bad Company 2, it's a full house and vice versa.

What you heard is WRONG. Bad Company 2 is nothing like MW2 and it's way better. The only similarities is that it's a FPS game, there are weapon selection and some perks.

It's a very active game, don't worry. It's not even a year old and there are plenty of servers for both the vanilla game and the Vietnam expansion.

Sad to hear that, but apart from some issues with the EA servers after Vietnam's release, it's been running stable for most players. You should email the EA tech support or try the live chat to resolve your issues.

Just got this game from the Steam sale. The crappy laptop I travel with can't run it but I'm looking forward to playing it when I get back from winter break! Is there a server that TL members tend to frequent?

I just realized that although I'm rank 23 now and have unlocked everything there is for the engineer, I have no clue how tracers really work. I fire them all day long and happily receive points for doing so, but it seems as if my RPG/CG rockets don't seem to be guided toward the target when firing. Am I missing something?

You need to wait for the launchers to lock-on to the target for the homing feature. When you lock-on you will see it as a highlighted target.

Vietnam is a pleasant surprise. It's like a nice mix of BC2 and BF 1943 gameplay.

Lord have mercy, BC2 is the one game I've always really enjoyed when I want to play FPS. I got bored of fps, now with Vietnam out, its actually ALOT better than I expected. I thought it was gonna be a boring reskin, but its actually really fun.

You need to use a cg/rpg, you need to look through the scope, you need to have it near the red square for several seconds and when it is locked on a distance will appear below the square. You can leave the scope for a short time and still have a homing missle but you will need to relockon (although I believe it is faster) in order to have homing missles.

About the huey in BC2V: Imo it ain't that strong. Most people just get killed because they fire on it. Only fire on it when you are in a blindspot, otherwise just hide under trees/in buildings. If you are playing conquest the mg of the tank is a very powerful weapon.

I'm not sure what to think about Vietnam so far, the maps seem unbalanced to me. Vantage point in Rush mode is the best example (attackers will have grenades in the spawn at the first objective). But really, there are insanely good spots on every map. I also feel that the terrain is way less destructible compared to BC2 (but in turn the framerate for me is a lot better).

Downloaded Vietnam. It takes forever on xbox. Good game though. The flamethrower is stupid fun. Spent a nice snowed in day playing the shit out of the game.

Hueys are definitely not overpowered. I sniped out several with rockets on the first day of playing. Supposedly theyre really weak vs rifle or machine gun fire as well. Like the guy two posts above said, as long as you're not a moron and don't engage it head on, you can make it work.

You should have played before they nerfed the AN94's damage by 20%.

I still love it though... best looking + sounding rifle, though the iron sights are awful.

The head hitbox is huge. I agree. But I don't think there is any form of auto aim. Maybe they just count any 1 shot kill as a head shot for some reason. Using the m40 you still have to aim far above targets that are far away to hit them and you still have to aim ahead of running targets to hit them. I don't think it's easier to hit in any way. People dying from m40 shots above the waist is not necessarily something bad and doesn't make the game take less skill.
