Well it’s EU launch day and the first weekend night after the US launch and it appears the strain of BFBC2 on the EA server backbone has melted all the hamsters.

Across the three (three?!) official forums the nerd-rage is truly epic as the servers have been down for more than two hours, it’s fucking hilariously badly timed and causing some truly epic, reality bending rage posts, between the forums and SupCom2 I’m actually quite enjoying the evening :)

if you have problems with mouse and keyboard using Reloaded crack: Just copy into the install dir also the 2 TXT files attached in Crack dir and will work OK.

Well, that’s just about the most ridiculous thing I’ve read. The buildings definitely get destroyed and collapse onto you. The ones that don’t have metal support beams, but ANY wall of ANY building can be decimated with an explosive weapon.

You must have played in a server by your self trying to medic paddle the walls in.

Is the gamplay as slow as BF2142? I generally liked BF2142 but didn’t like spending half the match getting to the battle on some of the larger maps.

Also the new “socialise key” sounds silly. Why do you need to call a medic if you’re already standing next to one?

I played for about an hour, and the only terrain I noticed that got destroyed was the trees. Certainly nothing in comparison to Red Faction.

What a nice guy. I was wondering where I could get some clothes to make me look like a big penis.

Actually, you manually work the slide on the sniper rifle. As in, if you can stay in scope mode after your shot as long as you want and you only reload once you release the scope button

Yes. you get class specializations.

You can pick a vehicle spec, that increases armor, or damage, alt fires.

You can take weapon mod kits, add an red dot, acog, shotgun attachment instead of 40mm grenades, or a smoke grenade launcher to cover your approach or make it hard to see if someone is planting the objective.

You can opt to use body armor, or magnum rounds, or increased accuracy.

It creates major variance between players of the same class. 1 assault might be an explosive expert that deals more damage with his grenade launcher and frag grenades, while another might be a marksmen with his acog and accuracy enhancements.

I could go on, but you get the drift. So yes, it is worth getting.

Not being able to go prone in Bad Company is old news and has been about since the release of BC1.

No you cannot go prone and no it doesn’t spoil the game. It makes no difference. In fact it helps because otherwise snipers would be near impossible to take out from distance.

Its a lot better than BF2 though. The destructive scenery alone is enough reason to play this over BF2.

so, apart from the fact there is destructible scenery and less classes what’s different from BF2? I don’t see the advantage of paying for something which already plays the same (or at least according to forumites/reviewers)

can someone confirm if indeed you cannot go prone?

Shadowcat, hold down the fire button and the scope stays up so you can see path of the bullet.
