bought the game this afternoon, the single player is pretty sweet, trying to get into the multiplayer but it won't let me join any games...

That's the one problem with the game... Sometimes you can't connect to the servers :shake: or get booted from a game.

Anyone here not like rush? If you don't have a team/squad that wants to work together it's unbearable. It might be that I'm not used to the maps like I am with conquest. Anyone ever play the conquest level White Pass(snow level) yet? The UAV placement is so damn dumb, like on most conquest maps. White pass is a kind of small map and the UAV is almost right next to the middle flag.

Yes, its infuriating, especially the snow level. I armed one spot 7 times while my team of snipers hid like pansies refusing to even snipe the defusers. Of course no one being able to see the sole bomb site was sort of a problem :shake:

I was fortunate enough to play with a few guys that were apparently friends and they played like a team, one medic, engineer, recon, and I played as assault. It was a blast and won pretty handily. But have also played with three other recon guys and never saw them, only to lose every time. If you can find guys to play with, it is very fun.

If you want to piss off a recon guy who won't do anything outside of snipe(no mortars, call in people, etc.) spawn on him and light him up like a christmas tree with the tracer darts. The other team won't be able to lock on, but if he'll stand out like a sore thumb to other snipers! I did that to a guy sitting on top of a hill on Laguna Presa. There was a base right down in front him that he could have provided sniper cover for us while we tried to take the flag, but no. So I launched a tracer dart right in his face. I snipe a ton, but I'm also constantly trying to spot, give orders and throwing down mortar strikes on tanks. A tip about squad orders, when you are capturing a flag look at the letter and press select. If you are the squad leader it will give your squad and order and you(plus them) will get a +10 points for capturing or defending the flag.

I find conquest much tougher without a squad. One minute I am defending a base, the next thing I know everyone is gone and I am fighting 6 guys by myself. I am not a fan of conquest anyway. I feel like a dog chasing it's tail.

Rush is much better, and as long as you don't have all snipers it's not tough to have similar goals. I have played all the maps enough to know where the good spots are, and where I am needed if people ignore them. I can play rush well without a squad. Well, as I mentioned, as long as there are not a bunch of idiot snipers. I think I have tried sniping once in this game. I would like to do it more, but there are just too many people who think that is the greatest thing there is (plus playing any other class would hurt their precious K/D ratio). I don't think I will ever get those sniping badges.

edit: as far as conquest UAV....you pretty much have to fly above yourself looking for enemies, and occasionally firing at other targets. If you see an enemy start to approach your position exit and kill the guy. The UAV is useless against good teams anyway.

Another direct shot from EA at the COD series. COD had Cole Hamels do nearly the same thing. Server issues or not, BC2 kicks MW2's ass every day of the week.

I think the general thing is that as long as you have a good squad things go much better. Speaking of that, who wants to play tonight? :biggrin:

On conquest I can kind of hold my own by myself. As long as I don't run right out in the open or on the most traveled spots on the maps I'm good. I'd rather be in a squad of friends though.

yeah, I played in a squad of four that worked together really well tonight, it's amazing how much better it makes the game, and like you said, with a functioning squad of four (and even without one most of the time) BC2 is infinitely more enjoyable than MW2
