I was pretty excited over Hardcore when I first got this game having just finished my own army service and expecting for somewhat realistic combat but it didn't take long for me to switch mostly to playing the normal mode. Recon's are just silly on HC and one shot kills just don't really work in games like this imo. In normal mode team work seems to have higher emphasis as well and different classes play a bigger role.
In any case it's the only FPS game that I play online atm, even though thats very rarely. Been a BF player since 1942 and CoD's never did attract me.
And Torte de Lini keep at it, you might even find it more fun/easier once you unlock most weapons etc. At least thats how it was for me as most people had everything unlocked when I first bought the game.

just was about to say, lemme add you but then i saw you're in canada...and my inet connection sucks already but yeah, you're at least not alone here! i'm still playing from time to time, sometimes also with ppl from tl here
XerrolAvengerII (PC) just got the bad company 2 package from steam for $10 (even though Bad Company 2 is only $7.5 on amazon) Just got rank 15 and unlocked magnum ammo for my 50 cal... makes sense right?>????? ADD ME!
Before I buy either of these can someone confirm that the game looks this damn good cause I have a hard time seeing how its so cheap looking this sexy in game ( ). Also should I be buying the vietnam one too or do most TL ppl play on the regular one. Also I just got into CS:S and 1.6 does this game feel similar/shoot/etc and is it a challenge? All I hear is bad stuff about most FPS games so I just got into CS knowing it was the most distinguished and yet almost no TL ppl play it...are you all hiding on this game or are you on that call of duty game that's out? (Aside from BW and SC2 of course I mean that's why where all here in the first place I'm talking FPS wise)
I've been playing this game quite a lot recently, since picking up the Vietnam expansion. I still can't really say that Vietnam is better than the vanilla game or not, but it's really fun. There seem to be a lot of people playing both versions though, so it's perfectly easy to jump back and forth between the two.
My new anti-noob kit is running the 870 with slugs on an assault class. That way I can countersnipe decently with that loadout, even taking out snipers from halfway across the map on Operation Hastings (the 870 is a beast with slugs), which deals with the inevitable flock of recon campers. The 870 also packs a massive punch up close, even when not using buckshot, so I can run and gun and take down objectives too. With that kit, the main weak area I have is at medium range; feeling strong at both close and very long distance. I don't know if that's just my aim being bad at those middle distances, or if it's just an inherent weakness in the kit. Probably my aim.
Speaking of shotguns, I face palm every time I get killed by a far range shotgun... it just looks and sounds ridiculous. Yes, I know it's just a game, but still.

Yes, it does and it feels really smooth on my computer. I play Vanilla and there are plenty of people there to satisfy me.

I hate you... my T88 s ACOG wants to know why a shotgun is better at everything... and why that's fair...
hey guys I finally got both bought and downloaded last night add me in game my id is RaLakedaimon, I'm looking into getting them added to Steam if I can but atm I have them on Origin since they were on sale for 5 dollars each (each as in the Vietnam extra game stuff for 5 as well). Ive been having some fun so far but would like to know where you guys prefer to game at, like which servers and stuff. Hit me up oh and my Steam is also RaLakedaimon.

OMG, I saw this somewhere on email, I thought it was fake / phishing cause I couldn't find it on Origin store QQQQ_QQQQ As I heard the Vietnam expansion is great, and also I heard there were Bf2 and 2142 t_t

Yes, the game looks absolutely amazing, and is probably the best optimized PC game I have ever seen. It runs 60fps on max with my i5-750 and gtx460. Note: You absolutely NEED quad core for the game to be playable.

Uh, what the fuck are you talking about?
This is easily one of the WORST optimized games. DICE themselves said for BF3 they knew BC2 was poorly optimized and was heavily consolized and they were fixing that for BF3. And you don't absolutely need a Quad Core. I run this game at 45-50 FPS during huge firefights on an E5200 Dual Core.
Also, note for everyone: This game measures ping very strangely. It says it's much higher than it really is. The rule of thumb is essentially divide your ping shown on the scoreboard in half and that's your actual ping.
