Bad Company 2 New Player Tips:

+ BC2 starts you off with a very uneven playing field,  more experienced players have much better weapons, ammo and armor, making a start difficult. So play all your positions like you are a Sniper or Recon.  No matter if it Engineer, Assault or Medic play like a Recon. If you try to run and gun, like you would in COD or DFBHD, you will die and die allot. Medics by the way have great weapons. Work to get your red dot, your kills will go up. +Set yourself up in locations to give you the best advantage of surprise and cover that can stop bullets. Maximize use of cover. Set your Sprint key in a place that is easy to use with the W or Forward.  Always Sprint between cover locations. Read Posts on BC2 below this post for more ideas.

Battlefield Bad Co. 2

+ A few bugs have been fixed in the game which added to its playability. The other thing that helps playability is to play in Hard Core (HC) servers. It takes less hits to take down an opponent. In non-HC I have seen ridiculous stuff like a guy take two headshots with a .50cal sniper rifle, plus body shots then get up and run off??? +You cannot trust the server names or the game server menu when it comes to determining if a server is HC or not. The game labels it HC if that is checked by the server admin. However, if they have things like 3D spotting and mini-map turned on, it is not really a HC server. So look for those items in the Server Info under the black arrow on the server listing. A true HC will have those items off and will in fact have most of the items on the server info list turned off. +When you find a HC server, you will see a much better class of game being played. You will also be able to take down opponents with less than a clip of ammo. Beware! That works both wa...

Old Games, New Games

+ It has been near 3 years since my last post here. Still playing Delta Force Black Hawk Down (DFBHD). Still the best First Person Shooter (FPS) game in the modern battlefield arena. A ton of screen shots are available at the link: l3ushwacker's Screen Shot Page + Far Cry 2 is one of the best single player games I have ever played. However, the multi-player game was over run with players who had no concept of team work. This is too bad because it had the potential to be a great platform with the spectacular open world design and support for user made maps, similar to the Delta Force series. + Just begun to play the Battlefield Bad Company 2 game. It purports to be open world but in reality it is a closely bounded map that inhibits the ability to flank the opponent. The thing that burns me the most is that the game gives uneven armor and weapon capabilities to players based on the amount of play. This will serve to limit the number of new players coming in and causes an uneven p...

DFBHD Screen Shots For 22 Sep, 2007 I have 44 screen shots for you this time. We played in some different servers this Saturday - !LXS, oZi & DOG. !LXS was a new TKOTH server for us. Nice server and some interesting maps with some stock maps thrown in. oZi's CTF server started out to be fun until the server auto-booted me for leaning left to check for clays. It assumes you are glitch shooting and boots you. I thought that was what server administrators were for... Still a good server with a mix of custom and stock maps. DOG was a TDM server with a huge number of players ~45. To the slide show!
