I do that also but I also find that the UAV IMO is to powerful, when the machin gun is so powerful that it takes out a Blackhawk easy IMO is cheap. IDK, wish they like make the Heli immune to UAV bullets or something.

just read a tip where if you work together with an assault carrying shotty and C4, (with resupply he can do like 6) you have him load the UAV with C4 and then you pilot it to a spot (B on first map) and have him detonate when it is close....

I guess my point was some of us are limited to 360/PS3 so we don't have a choice of console vs. computer, such as you do. I do realize that some games, including ones I play, are better on PC but the computer I have right now services all of my personal and professional needs so the only reason to get a new one would be to play games on it, and that would be a waste of money to me. Even if I did have the choice of console or computer, I would probably still choose 360 most of the time because all the friends I game with have 360s. I can go solo just fine, but it's a lot more fun with friends.

Any way, not trying to take this off topic, I'll reiterate that my second experience with the demo wasn't as bad as the first. My roommate's gonna get it for his PS3, and I was curious if there were other game modes than what is in the demo? I remember the last Bad Company only had one game mode, which got old to me very quickly.

4 game modes - Rush, Conquest, Squad TDM (4 teams of 4), Squad Rush (2 teams of 4).

That's another thing that didn't make any sense to me. Why is the medic's default gun a heavy machine gun? Seems a bit ridiculous to me, glad you're able to swap it out later.

I'd imagine because they have all the other gun classes covered. I think it makes okay sense, not my favorite but LMG are support and the medic is pretty much 100% support.

I still wish Engineers had their c4. c4 with the SMG meant I could take out crates with easy in BC1

Anyone else unable to connect to the server? On 360.

Servers were acting up on PC last night. They were extremely slow and rank was not showing up all the time. So you would not get the option to add the things you unlocked. I was stuck playing with default load outs most the night and quit after horrible lag.

I think they are working on making sure the online can handle the load come launch.
