Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Multiplayer

Well I still think the PC version fails. As Omega said, the menu and refreshing is ridiculously slow. I mean they seriously could have made this way better.
 
It was bad, it's much better now. Granted, the large downloads can be a pain, but otherwise, most of the things I had a pain with has been fixed. I actually saw empty servers last night, so there is more than enough slots available it seems.

This new patch that fixed all this is pissing me off to download it since it keeps dropping and then has to restart, that is a very very annoying feature when im still capped.

As for the servers, the other night i played on one with only 6 people on it and the lag was excruciating. If i can't even jump a fence or climb a set of stair without being reduced to jumping on the spot like a Monkey on a Pongo stick while some dude rushes up and shoots me before i can get out of the way. Then there is the kill boxes, short controlled bursts my ass. Ive stood 2 meters from a guy and emptied a clip into his chest and he still kills me. In Halo i can understand, there u have shields but in BC2... Nah. Ill download this new patch and try it again when i have the cap to do it but for now its Meh until it can prove itself to me.

All I am saying there are more servers.
I am not blind to the problems on the pc that is for sure.
Also you can still play on the servers even if you don't have the updated version apparently, its somewhere in there blog.
As for the update failing I mean wtf everybody knows you put a resume function on it ffs!

It is true that you can play without updating. Simply open BFBC2Game.exe instead of BFBC2Updater.exe

The PC version has many bugs, I must say. The most annoying one being the knife just not working when you stab a guy 3 times in the head. I understand if they take time to fix those, but small minor bugs still need fixing! Such as the favourite server listing. I understand that they are working hard, but in the mean time they should fix the minor inconveniences!
 
As is traditional with PC's since there's such a variety with hardware, the games are NEVER released with perfect code, the ALPHA and BETA programs can only sort out so much.... Consoles have the advantage that the hardware is maybe 2 or three different models but essentially all the same, so a BETA program pretty much irons out EVERY bug - well, just about.

Currently there is a bit of a performance bug with ATi cards for map load times and menu lag, which is not really the gamecode rather teh ATi drivers which are causing the issue, however they are still looking into a workaround that sorts it out despite driver problems...I'd say they're doing pretty damn good work @ the moment.

You should have seen Battlefield 2 and the patch releases....shoh.
 
Its still an Awesome game that rocks on the PC , Im going to try my Xbox controller on it tonight? And then see/

The SP is very awesome, characters are full and the story kinda makes sense. I think EA or DICE just dropped the ball with the MP component. Maybe we are just so use to uber high quality games that things like this stand out like a sore thumb.
 
the SP is awesome. love how they rip MW2 to shreds :p

as for MP i truly have not had any issues. luck of the draw i guess, time for some good fortune after all the crap with that other warfare title...

Classic.
 
Can you at least play the game while the updates are downloading? It's looking like by the time I get the game I'm going to have well over 2 gigs of patches to download.

I laughed so hard when I heard that ... kinda reminds me of Duke Nukem references.
 
Maybe run BFBC2Updater.exe, let it update, and then run BFBC2Game.exe right before it starts updating. I think that's the only way. You can't run it after it starts updating as far as I know.

If you disconnect from the net, you can start the game without updating, but you cant play online obviously

Cool, thx this did the trick using 'Disc authentication'. Will the patches ever be available on a local server? I've only got 300MB of international bandwidth before i am capped for the month!
