The AT Battlefield Bad Company 2 F.A.Q.

[snikt]

Aside from the graphical tweaks, I've only done FOV, Voiceover, and the mouse tweak. Didn't notice much difference with FOV. Voiceover tweak is great, imo. Now I understand what the hell the russians are saying most of the time. As for the mouse tweak, lol, I tried it and I guess I missed a line or two. Aferwards I was unable to pan left or right, I could only move my weapon up and down. So I deleted the modified files, and used my backup copy of the files to restore the mouse settings. I'll try it again tonight.

I need to do the voiceover tweak

For those of you who don't know - we've moved the official AT server to Dallas, to be more centrally located to everyone

See you there!

You only see the red when you're really hurtin'. If you get out of the line of fire and rest, you'll recover health, but slowly. Being near a medpack (or two) will make you heal faster. You'll know you're "out of the woods" when the red goes away, but you're not completely 100% until you hear the little sound that kinda sounds like a CO2 cartridge or compressed air (just a little "psshht", easy to miss if it's loud around).

Thx for the explanation. So I guess there's no way to know my real health level and I have to use visualization to determine the extent of the injury?

What about planting and disarming the bomb? How do I do that? I don't see the controls listed in the options.

One final thing and that is in regards to the grenades. How are people able to throw grenades? I'm not talking about grenade launchers from the weapons. I don't see that option anywhere.

 

[slightlyhuman]

still can't understand wtf they make it where you can't talk when you're dead. no console? and the chat log disappears way too quick.

 

[minmaster]

yea the old server had a lot of rubberbanding for me. is it R8? i heard R8 made it worse for some servers.

Options / Settings [On Foot] tab:

[Throw Grenade] Key setting is near the top.
[Enter/Exit Vehicle] key is also used for Planting and disarming the MCom. Scroll down to find it. The same key is used for picking up Kits from the ground. Default is E, I believe.

Two issues are being constantly raised as "bugs" that I would like to bring some clarity to.

These are design issues regarding VOIP after death and Points after death.

VOIP after death.

We found occurrences of people running into enemy areas, dying intentionally and using VOIP to notify their team of where the enemy was located. As a result we turned this off in game. It is still possible to do this using external VOIP (or even other real world communcation systems). In this game, Dead Men cant talk.

Points after death.

We intentionally removed "the suicide bomber". Loading vehicles with C4 and driving them into packed enemy locations to gain points when you die was something we looked at for some time. The whole human controlled guided missile system could be used to great effect, especially when bringing in air vehicles, C4 and destruction. Therefore we removed the points gained by this type of "misadventure" - it includes a "look what you could have won" points tally. We realise people who die bravely fighting to the end also suffer a points loss at this point but it is difficult to separate the two in the current system.

The random crashes are kinda getting annoying. Happened a few times in the server browser, and a couple times midgame.

I hate it when I get a triple kill with a gustav but get no points for it because they've killed me first. Seems kind of lame.

Then learn a real weapon! :awe:

 

[Worthington]

well he could be shooting at a jeep, etc like it's meant to be used.

 

[minmaster]

actually carl gustav was meant for bunker and infantry usage according to the in-game description. it does less damage to vehicles than other AT weapons.

thats stupid. I've never done the suicide thing, but if you manage to kill lots of people who cares how you do it? you still die, have to wait to respawn and lose 10 points. you should still get the points for the kills though.

played tonight w/ the new setups - the mouse fix, adustment of the brightness and contrast - excellent experience. i stayed @ 15 for the scale factor of the mouse for flying and all was good. coming in fast to land, make repairs, get back up in just a fraction of the time just last night. takes a little to get used to, but you feel better - like your guy is running 100%, not 75% like before.

went into the first rush game and just got owned big time though, the other team was excellent. fun but gets frustrating when you go 9/15 a few rnds .

good times, and i would recommend the tweaks to everyone.

Well I played the AT server for a while. It was pretty good, no lag up here in canada. One thing that was kinda annoying was the constant flashing messages on the screen, mostly about Bill Brasky. Especially annoying when you are fighting someone and you lose because of the message.

My name was mmMike. I recognized a few AT names, but I doubt they remember me. I'm not usually too high on the scoreboard haha.

I played a few rounds last night on the new server...seemed much better than the old one!!! I couldn't play on the old one because of the rubberbanding. Had a good time last night, good rounds.

Quick question- when you pick up a new kit that is a different class, do you still score points for the class that you originally were ? I picked up an engineer and started doing repairs but unlocked some medic stuff which I originally had chosen.

I believe this is correct. You still looked like a medic, and you earned points as a medic, regardless of what kit you picked up and were using.

This is probably your problem :

http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/446923.page

Makes one hell of a difference. Makes you wonder what the guys at DICE were thinking!

The reason is probably that it works great for an XBOX or PS3 controller

If that doesnt fix your aiming, maybe its low fps?

here is a real easy tool to use for fixing the mouse problems:

I did these mouse fixes and it made no difference to me...

Are there any servers that cater to more mature (older) gamers and don't mind new players? Thanks.

Funny, because I only ever use it in a multi-kill opportunity or if I have to scare a sniper out a spot.
