Battlefield Bad Company 2
I recently got this game (£14) to try as so many people are raving about battlefield games (haven’t tried any of previous).
After playing it for a few days I think it’s pretty good and time flies by so quickly. There are quite a lot of bugs tho.
I had read about all the tweaks for sensitivity, FOV & FPS tweaks on various forums so spent a few mins implementing these tweaks. 2hours later (yes I was annoyed to say the least) my sensitivity/FOV was set correctly.
The problem is there are different variables for sensitivity depending on what you are doing. There is Infrantry, Stationary Vehicle, Jeep & Air Sensitivity (4 Cvars for 1 thing) so it’s near impossible to get them all set the same as they all differ.
Once I got online I thought it was pretty nice graphics wise.
I don’t like how new players have the lesser weapons putting them at a HUGE disadvantage.
The whole stats system seems to make people grind for points (much like MMORPGs) and boast about them. People don’t actually care much tbh, games are about having fun & the whole epeen thing is pointless (will probably bring in so many cheating kids aswell).
The game seemed ok until I got a sniper rifle out and aimed directly at people (even close range) and only about 40% of the hits would register as hits.
I found some more tweaks about setting interpolation based on latency (my ping to the servers I’m on is 15ms)
On setting this it seemed even worse but I tried it for a few nights and then put it back to how it was.
The whole hitreg thing reminds me of playing quake2 with a 28k modem as you have to aim in front of people to actually hit them.
There is a new patch coming out which supposedly fixes a lot of bugs but I’m not sure if it will fix the hitreg.
A lot of people who play BF2 say the hitreg in BF2 is a lot better so I guess there is hope.
Over the past few nights I’ve seen at least 30people kicked by punkbuster for cheating and have also seen people blatently botting with names like headtest and headshoot.
