Battlefield Bad Company 2 Server

on the other hand!!! what an amazing turnout last night!!!

7 7DR and about the same XDC

oh and who the fuck is xdc slice???? 45 kill streak!!!!

i am going to hunt you with a spoon!!!

it was xps slice. Ihad my suspicions about him but it turned out he was sniping from so far away noone could see him. good game despite my internet playing up

I thought I’d post this and see what you guys think re: settings?

Firstly I think everyone agress that hardcore damage is the way to go? I certainly do.

And hopefully everyone agress kill cam should be off? I like I do because I think it allows you to take advantage of some gorgeous levels using trees, rocks, and a whole host of other things as cover.

I feel quite strongly on the above. Input please?

Friendly Fire – Again I would love for this to be on as it reduces nade spamming and forces better tactics.

Mini Map – Now I don’t see why this can’t be on? I like being able to see where I’m going giving a quick tactical view of where my team are and where the other side are (in conjunction with spotting)

Spotting – I REALLY would like this on. It’s one of the points the new game was sold on from what I hear? I recognise that some don;’t like this as they feel sniping becomes too easy but I’d agrue that it makes killing snipers easier too. Again it also leads to better team play in that you can work together to flank the other side etc.

Being able to see your bullets left etc. I didn’t realise this could be on. Not sure what setting it is but I don’t see any reason why this can’t be on? I don’t see how playing hardcore should remove your ability to see how much ammo/armour you have? Since I’ve been playing this game I’ve not got my head around that.

Rush or Conquest etc? I don’t mind. I’d like them both.I guess if I had to pick one I’d pick Rush.

Maps – All of them.

Players – Been chatting with Bob a bit on this and I think a 26 player server would be best. When I look for servers I stay away from 32 because of the increased lag.

If any of you guys who play would take time to post your likes setting-wise it would be appreciated.

Cheers

I pretty much agree with space’s suggested settings. I feel stronly about the spotting as it’s a large part of the game and increases teamplate a lot. The recon easpicially has many spotting tools from the little spotting grenade thingy to a spotter scope. If you’re wories about snipers, don’t stop moving, it’s a lot harder to hit a moving target.

For server population, I always seek out a 32 man server as it’s simply more people to shoot. I’ve always been this way in games and prefer as many people on the map as possible. Again, my personal preference, I will go with the majority.

what =XDC=Erratic-Space said

i do like the spotting.. last nights grief with XPS slice could have been dealt with easier if know where the fucker was hiding.

i hear what you are saying doc.. but +1 for spotting

we always used to be good with banning.. it was something that was done as a last resort and we always agonised about it on the forums for weeks later.. we did manage to ban one person for cheating who was just an amazing player.. it did make us look like dicks at the time but i think we made the right calls on most occations
