This is to discuss anything about the new game Battlefield: Bad Company. I personally just got it for the PS3 and am very impressed. The graphics are stunning and there are lots of destructible buildings, trees, etc. I've only done the first mission, but it was fun and exciting with a thorough plot. Anyone else have this game?

The game is phenomenal, but I ****ing hate the find all five. Circuit City gipped me, and I can't use the code for the sniper rifle.

^ sadly, i think likewise... I think the game is horrible, and the find all five just makes it even worse.

when i heard about it coming out.. I was pretty excited, it seemed awesome. Played the demo, it was fun.. but I noticed some flaws, but i said eeh, they'll fix it with the real game. WRONG, they didn't. I'm not trying to sound like.. just a ranter, but it's the truth, well.. it's my opinion actually. You get to choose from 5 classes; Assault, Demolition, Recon, Specialist, and Support. Now... with every Fps, I usually snipe, which is the recon class in this game. Here is what you get to choose from, with the recon class; A sniper rifle, a pistol, motion censors, and you can unlock a thing called LZ-S37 or something [it's a guided missile]

Recon
There are two different types of snipers in this game, Bolt action, and semi automatic, bolt action obviously being stronger then the semi-automatics, but slower.

Bolt Actions

SV-98 [sv-98,m24 and GOL have all the same stats, just different looks]
M24
GOL
M95 [aka .50 cal... huh? bolt action .50 cal? yeah.. good job on that one..]

Semo Automatics
VSS [ you get with gold edition, or at lvl 25]
QUB88 [the Find all five sniper, you can ONLY get it if you pre-ordered the game]
SVU

now, my problem with this... the bolt actions,the only way you can one shot kill someone.. is with a headshot. Body shots will NOT kill if they have 100 HP. Remember that the .50 cal has the most damage IN THE GAME, but still doesn't one shot. Ontop of this.. when your sniping, you have to put a strange lead on your shots. I'm not saying "strange" because you have to lead.. it's just.. the amount of space you have to actually shoot, away from your enemy... is so false. So basically, if your sniping from a distance, with a bolt action... and you MISS, they're basically gone.

Also, rememeber, the only explosive weapon you have, is the LZ.. thing, the binoculars that allow you to lock onto vehicles, and guide a missile, and HOPEFULLY land a hit on that vehicle, or on someone. The pistol is basically the best thing in the sniper class, without a doubt.


SUPPORT
PKM [These three all have the same stats]
M249
QJU88

MG3 [You get with the gold edition, or at lvl 25]
M60 [find all five gun, you can get by signing up for a newsletter, on the main website]
XM8 LMG
Mg36


Now, once again, not to sound like a ranter, but the support class is broken. With the support, you get a LMG, that has pretty good range, good power.. some are slow, but who cares.. they powerful, and accurate. You also get a power-drill, where you can repair trucks, awesome... looks like a pretty good class so far. Now, you get a medipack too! Not just one, an infinite amount. Yeah, you have to heal your team mates, if you want.. but let's say your having a gun fight, and you win, but your wounded, guess what.. your back to 100 HP cause you can just heal yourself. And once you level up once, you can buy an airstrike [MRTR-5] It's not that good, i'd say the binoculars that the sniper's get is better, but still.. it's an airstrike, it's still decent.


Assault
AEK973
M436
AUG

AN94 [gold edition, or at lvl 25]
F2000 [ Find all five, you can get by playing two battlefield games, no one account "become a veteran"]
M16
XM8


I guess it's the class I choose second, it's pretty good.. you get life injectors, that heal you up to 100, but you can only use it on yourself. Grenades, and also a grenade attachment to the assault rifles [ the real name is M203 grenade launcher] The assault rifles are all pretty good, m16 raising to the top, as always.


Demolition
S20k
870MCS
T896

SPAS35 [gold edition, or lvl 25]
USAS32[ Find all five, you can get by looking your stats up online]
SPAS12
NS2000



Well.. shotguns are always pretty dumb in video games, they're able to one shot someone, from a crazy distance. This is definately the second most annoying class in this game, just because of the fact that it's a shotgun. It's pretty good though, you get grenades, a rocket launcher, and you can unlock an anti tank mine. [watching tanks flip = too good.] Just to note: the find all five shotgun... is amazing, once again, probably broken.


Specialist
9A91
SCAR
AKS74u

XM8C [gold edition, or lvl 25]
Uzi [ Find all Five, you can get it by getting to lvl 4 in the bad company demo]
UMP
PP2000


Yeah.. i don't know much.. You use SMG's, the XMG smg is pretty good, i like it. You also get frags, C4 [they **** tanks] and a little tracer gun, that you can shoot onto things, and if you have someone in your squad that is demolition, their rockets will lock onto whatever you shot with the tracer gun.


well, I tried making this rant, somewhat useful.. trying to tell people about each class, and my opinion on them, i got sort of lazy towards the end.. as you can see, i'll update I guess... :) just far too lazy at the moment.

Oh yeah, that makes me so frustrated, it's such a stupid thing.

About the sniping not killing in one hit except head shots...isn't that standard for fps? It is certainly standard for battlefield games.

Not at all. Most games are actually working towards body specific damage.

The problem with Battlefield games - one side will always have a ridiculously over powered weapon. Anyone played Battlefield: Vietnam? Cool game overall, until I realized the machine gun was the end all weapon, so much so EVERYONE played as that and wiped out the Vietnamese. They were harder to kill because they would just spray whole areas, and it sucked.

you can one shot body people and kill then with bolt action snipes, you just have to be close...which can ba hard. in fact sniping altogether is pretty hard.

I've enjoyed this game a lot for 360, the only problem i have is with EA's servers being full and not being able to join a match.

I've heard bad things about BF:BC, I probably won't get to play it so I have no idea how it is. I'm interested in playing it though.

Don't get me wrong, the game really is fun, but there's some stuff that really annoys me =[ the fact that.. the majority of the people use support, and one thing that really bugs me.. is when people just hug tanks, but.. it's whatever. I was enjoying it alot last night.. so I guess that's pretty good, hah.

I was just playing the multiplayer demo on my 360... good god =) 64 people at the same time is pretty insane. Most of the attacking team came and raided our defense base so it was like a flat out war.

Really fun. I gotta pick up the actual game sometime soon.

I played an awesome game the other day on Defense. It took them 30 minutes just to take our first gold crate. By the time they did, the buildings were nothing but pylons supporting the roofs (I wish roofs could be destroyed) and holes in the ground EVERYWHERE. It worked to my benefit as a tank ran over me, I was in a hole so it missed me, I turned and rocket launched the tank until it blew up because he couldn't turn around.

64 people? What? The game allows 24 players max.

Anyways, I played the hell out of the demo and have moved onto the full game. Haven't touched the single player, just have been playing the hell out of multiplayer. I used to really enjoy playing Oasis, but don't anymore because all people do is boost by flipping the **** Humvee. Anytime I see people doing that, I set out only to kill them for the rest of the match. Even if they're on my team.

mmhm -.- boosting is so dumb.

erm, too good xD
