Battlefield 2: Bad Company and Battlefield 1943 announced

[Fresh Tendrils]

I never seem to have a good teammate when I'm manning a tank. Or if I get out to repair it, my teammate will drive away from me. Distance seems to be the key to the tanks so far. Close combat with soldiers is no fun - at least when there's no machine gunner to help.

I just got this game a few days ago and have only played for about 3 hours and I have never heard another person on their mic. Is there something I am missing in the setup or are people just not talk during this game?

AA guns are being fixed because it does not do enough damage to helicopters. If you tried to use it on Atacama Desert the chopper will always get you before you get to kill it. Even an average pilot can destroy the AA gunner with perfect aim. All the pilot has to do is fly low to the ground at the enemy base behind buildings then pop up and shoot 1 wave of missiles at it.

Ah, I was thinking they were nerfing it because I think they are nerfing M60+M1911 but he did say he wasn't saying which are going up/down/side ways...

Not very many people are talking - I find it kind of weird. There were plenty of people willing to talk on MW2, but I've only run into a handful of people talking. I think the problem is that you can only talk to your squad and not the whole team.

Well I assume that's what they will do to it, if they make it weaker, they're crazy. Also, they could get rid of the AA guns ability to knock the chopper out of it's flight path.

i would say 90% of the time i'm stuck with randoms, i never get good teammates. they just go for kills, snipe on the attack, won't wait for you and will drive off, and the list goes on.

yeah not many people use their mics. even if i talk when playing with random people, no one's there to respond since no one randoms use their mics. i use it all the time if i know other people are going to use it. it also doesn't help that you can only talk to your squad - not the entire team. if i'm playing with people on here it's not a problem since i know people will play the game how it should be played. the one good thing is you don't have a million annoying little kids constantly talking about their science homework and high schoolers dropping the n bomb.

they better fix shotgun sniping. they also should make the heavy machine guns more effective against vehicles and make it easier to take choppers down without having to use the tracer dart down.

Sorry AnArtofWar for not accepting your invite or sending you a message back, I was busy doing some Vancouver NHL playoff dynasty stuff against Detroit..... hardest offline playoff series I've ever played in all the NHL games I've played... granted I was on custom SuperStar sliders but still...

I'll try and play tomorrow if you guys are on, but knowing me, I won't even play it tomorrow :P
