Still a frustrating game, but I'm starting to hang back a bit from the rushers on the team, which leads to less dying and less spawn killing.
Also, I need some way to range targets - I need a spotter, haha. There was a guy up on a hill, standing in clear view all the way across the map. I had the 12x scope, I still couldn't hit him no matter where I tried to range it via my own scope... I couldn't see where my bullets were hitting. So I just called a mortar strike on him.
Still, would be nice to have a better way to do that, rather than guessing.

It was going completely fine today online until about 6pm, then the servers screwed up. Thing is people were leaving but no replacement, it ended up with eight vs one. IN the end me and my friend ditched it and found it impossible to find a game and I ended up in a rush game with me and my friend vs five people, we were defending. Still managed to hold them off for a good ten minutes though.

I do love the face that they have a HC mode.
Though, it makes the motion sensors a bit more difficult to use, because you have to press start to look at the map to see exactly where they are.
It's nice though that there's a tone when it senses enemy movement.

Got to the quad bike race... All I can say is...
"ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!"
Those bike decide to turn 90
o
when it hits a bloody twig... and the dust means you can't ****ing see what is coming. EPIC FAIL DICE!
Hell, I somehow managed to get sideways on a bloody rope bridge like 8 times already. The control on the bikes are just WAYYYYY too twitchy. It's like they have zero weight. Nearly won twice and both times just before the end it throws me off the bloody track for no apparent reason.
I did laugh when Sweets said "If this was a snowmobile race..." heh.

Some great shots at MW2 in the single player. "They'll just send in some special ops douche bags with pussyass heartbeat sensors."

My biggest problem with the single player now is...
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BLOODY GOLD?????????
Seriously... this is like the first game didn't even exist! Oh and I was REALLY pissed off that they killed Flynn. He would have made a great addition to the BC family.
Story in BC2 is just... weak!

I gave up actually trying to race them.

One other bug/nuisance that I have found (this is actually from BFBC1 as well):
When you're hiding in a bush and you try to mortar someone, the mortar strike locks on to the bush that you're in rather than where you actually pointed the damn thing...
Even if you make sure that there are no leaves of the bush in your LOS, it still will.
Frustrating as hell.

When I went back today I won the very first time I tried... then found there wasn't even a bloody achievement for it... I FELT ROBBED!
Atm my internet connection is pretty crappy so I can't even play MP... Might have a go playing it through on hard.

A nice little estimation of their distance when they are Spotted/tagged+actually hovered over would be great. I know it's not so real, but it would really help in the MP world.

Definately agree with you Neo. What happened to the gold? Serious Haggard is a real downer and the script is much less entertaining.
Oh guys the servers are down again I think. DICE simply don't have enough servers as they underestimated the traffic. It's on their blog.

Like I said... seems another title to succumb to the "Curse of the Sequels".
This was not the title I was expecting tbh... Why is it that most of these sequels have gone for a "Grittier" version... and turned them into really dismal versions of the good start.
Oh and I just remembered something... didn't the Legionairre survive the helo crash at the end of BC1?
This is like an alternate dimension version of Bad Company.

Well this one was left wide open for a third. Maybe the third will tie everything together for both one and two?
Hopefully.

I still love this game. The multiplayer is a great improvement in nearly everyway, there are a few minor details that are perhaps not great add ons but still not taking away from the game.
The single player is a let down though. Yeah the legionaire was still alive and they got away with the gold. Sad that they abandoned that story and style. No more jazz, less jokes and a semi sensible story
.
Not sure how the sequel will go. Though if they do one I expect destruction 3.0 to be on the level that I can blow up the floor underneath you and really detailed mircro destruction.

You can blow up the floor in destruction 1 dude. In fact I dug out a great big sniper hole in 1943 Wake Island. I hid in the hole, popped up, took a shot and popped back down. Took ages for the enemy to figure where I was (on top of a hill heh). They then took a jeep and decapitated me at high speed heh.
