Can you believe weapon #2?

Haha kind of funny to see knifes at #2 and I still see people complaining about knifing being too hard all the time. Some people just can't accept it when they're bad at something, it's always the game's fault...

My only complaint about knives is they seem to have an absurdly long range. Of course half of the preceived range is probably latency related.

 

[Zargon]

When the fuck are they going to do something about the obviously overpowered M60?

take a break man. everything you post seems so angry!

they already said they were going to try and rebalance it I think

I got my knife distinguised service badge today, 100 knife kills, I had almost that many in the beta!

1) Hit detection/damage can be very bizarre at times. I don't know if it's because I'm a low level player right now and don't have access to the specializations, but it's just odd. Today while playing I popped up from behind a rock and shot someone in the face with my pistol 5 times. There was no lag, my computer handles the game fine, I DEFINITELY shot him in the face 5 times. He pulls up his assault rifle and kills me with one burst. The server showed me after, he still had 24% health left. Again, 5 shots to the face, point blank, no argument about if I hit him or not. Seriously?

It's not just you. These goobers can't write a server browser, you think they can figure out hit detection?

I was riding a jeep at full speed when I saw a sniper up against a rock looking the other direction. I ran into his balls at full bore, square on. I got the little 'x' hit indicator, but it didn't kill him. Of course he proceeded to stab me in the face while I sat in the driver's seat in disbelief.

Why would you be surprised with knife kills so high??? It's extremely easy to get knife kills in the game. It's the weapon I have the most kills with. Have 3 gold stars with it and only about 20 kills until I have 200 kills with it.

My mortars will break frequently lately. It lets me zoom in and puts up the red square, but he countdown never begins. Even after a new map loads it happens and does not fix until I restart the game...

Good, hopefully this bug is never fixed.

am I the only one who is sick of seeing
them <M60> LMG me

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Give me people spamming 40mm grenades, Gustavs, or RPG7s any day besides medics with M60s.

Its like if they glance at you they kill you or get a headshot.

 

[CrystalBay]

I've got about 500 knife kills with 400 of them unique tags...

 

[uclaLabrat]

I don't think even the M60 is as powerful as the 416 with magnum ammo. I drop people with that thing so fast it's ridiculous. It has like negative recoil, two quick bursts and they're toast. I love it. I also love the M60, but I don't think it's overpowered. I've managed to get the drop on many people, even those with M60's, with the 416.

The game is balanced just fine I think, you can't play this shit like COD 4 and expect to win.

yeah, m60 is just crazy.

I was doing surprisingly well with the Engineer's Krinkov yesterday and I like the M416 for assault. The gun you guys say is god-like for assault sucks imo. I don't know if its the burst fire or what, but I used it once on a guy and he took like 4 or 5 bursts and still killed me.

For snipers I like the GOL. No scope sway is nice, unless it just doesn't animate it, which would suck.

 

[pontifex]

I was smoke grenaded once. I think it hit me in the head. I've killed a few with the defib, but didn't know that impact wrenches are fatal.

I think smoke is broken, especially the smoke grenade launcher. I've tried using it and it does nothing - no smoke at all.

I also tested out the smoke thing for the vehicles and it sends out this tiny little puff of smoke that dissipates in like 3 seconds. no one can hide in that!

Never played COD4, but I disagree

Clip is so huge if they catch running somewhere they just go :leftmousebuttan: till you die, but more often then not I get killed in the first 3 shots because one is just a random headshot.

I mean its basically a sniper rifle with a 100 round clip, especially if you have 4x.

I think some graphics aren't rendering for you properly.

They definitely work, and make a lot of smoke. (smoke grenades and smoke cloud for vehicles)

badcompanytwo.com has an "exclusive" preview of tomorrows VIP DLC maps, Rush on Laguna Presa, and Conquest on Arica Harbor. They have video's (w/German text) and an overhead picture of each map. See the article Here.

If the overhead picture is to believed, all three cap-able bases on Arica Harbor are mashed in to the town section. What a clusterf*ck.

I wouldn't doubt it as buggy as this game is.

My system:
C2D E8400 @3.6 Ghz
4 GB RAM
2x HD 4850s in Crossfire

Probably crossfire. I remember reading about some graphical glitches when using crossfire in this game.

It's the nature of multiple cards and many games out there.

xfire in game works you need to edit the ini

I've been trying to use xfire in a lot of games for a friend wants to see me playing, and I noticed xfire is completely 100&#37; inept at adding game profiles to their ini file.

They're all setup for 32 bit operating system registry, for example most of the keys need to be edited to point to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node if you're using a 64bit os.

usually just searching for last part what they have in the INI then correcting the path will fix the problems
