If I remember correctly it was the same in BF2 until a patch brought in the minimum players thingy.

Anyone had maybe missing kills in servers? So I had a 6-5 k/d ratio according to the ingame end scores, then below it notes I have 11 knife kills.... wtf? :pac:

Must have deducted kills for those times you got us both shot down in the heli tbh.

Yeah my bad on that one, still not used to those controls although helis are really like paper in this BF especially on that desert map.

EDIT: Do knife kills contribute to your overall k/d ratio? I've just noticed I have 105 dog tags but only 41 kills total so far.

If you get the chat bug where you can't see your text when typing first hit return to get out of the chat prompt then hit your map key (M default) and close it again and it will work.

Dogtags collected in the beta have carried over.

Ok a tip i would suggest is changing the grenade button from F to G, its more hassle then its worth, then use the F key for your primary gadget

F is my jump button but G is my grenade button.

I'm loving the shotgun, up close its lethal resulting in one shot kills. You have to be bang on with your aiming though otherwise by the time you've had a chance to get your second shot off your probably dead.

I'm a bit worried how the game will change a few weeks from now when most people will have the powerful stuff unlocked, the ceramic body armour for example is something that I think will result in an unfair advantage. In BF2 there was never anything like armour so you had just as much chance of winning in a one on one face off.

Gustav bunkerbuster is the most fun you can have in this game. If you havent given it a proper go yet, please do

Quick tip guys, i noticed this too but couldnt figure out why after closing the game and starting later few times performance was dropping dramatically the more i quit and rejoined throughout the day.

Taken from firing squad review

There is one last thing I feel I should mention, and it’s a big one. More often than not, BFBC2Game.exe will continue to run in the background after you exit the game. This is probably the most glaring example of poor play-testing you’ll find with this game. Like a memory leak on steroids, the thing will contentedly munch on about 400MB of RAM and even allow you to start the game again on top of it. If you start and stop the game repeatedly over the course of a few days, and don’t bring up the process manager to check things out, you might end up with 5 or 6 instances of it running at once, ruining your performance. Beware!

Has not happened to me at all from what i can tell, performance has been rock solid. Luckily.

Thanks very much for the info though, ill know what to look for if i have an issue

If your in a squad stick with it, bit of a pain when someone goes running off to one flag while the rest are at another.


My simple plan is whoever i spawn on i follow them

just a tip for some people with ati cards,
chances are like pretty much everyone else with an ati card,
your experiencing long load times,
usually 30 to 60 seconds.

you can either wait till dice or ati release a patch or driver,
but switching your settings to dx9 will sort it.

I was wondering what that was.

Apperantly there is actually a "cheat" or "development" bug still activated in the game, if you are in a armed vehicle and press f9 3 times, it will port you to the opposite teams spawn :eek:

stuck in work at the moment so can somebody try this?

I find it hard to believe Dice would leave something like this ingame

^^^^ HOLY ****...could not agree more. The amount of times I look at the map and it looks like someone has been throwing skittles at it....green squad members all over the shop.

I mean when you squad mate is flashing a BAND AID on his head HEAL HIM FFS!!! and when flashing bullets give him ammo....its ****in mental the amount of times you have to go looking for the basic stuff.

Just a little tip im sure most of you know already. You DO have a health bar, simply waiting for the red blood stains to go away doesnt mean your at full health again. Stay at medi packs till you hear a little noise, this means your at full health. Its just annoying when you throw down a medi pack and people just sprint past them and you can clearly see there health is very low :mad:
