Yeah im lying your right. I suck ass but im still better than you. Happy? 

 

You can say all you want about that ONE video but im better than you, plus it was my first time playing it.

 

Next time i play ill take a pic of the end screen.

I can understand if you were unfamiliar with the strategy of the game, but there's no strategy in simply shooting a guy a few feet away.

Why don't you just post that video again? I'm sure you still have it on your PC if you took it on your phone.

Yeah because everyone who has ever played FPS always rushes in. Not everyone is like that i actually take my time.

 

The video i posted i was

 

1.Playing with one hand.

2.Screwing around not really trying, i knew from basic gameplay the game sucked.

3.It was my First time playing.

 

Next time i play it im gonna record it, so you can see that im not some angry call of duty player just talking shit about BAD company because i suck at it. Killzone 2 and Gears 2 both suck and i was good at those, well not Gears 2 the laggy pathetic so called online was broken, the shotgun ruined it.

This points to the need for games to have a rich single/local player experience for them to be useful over the long-term.
If they are just disposal pieces of entertainment, which can be devalued to next-to-nothingness by a corporate decision, they how much longer will people be willing to pay a full days wages (at minimum wage) for a game (It takes 8.25 hours at the US minimum wage to make the $60 price point for a new game).

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

I like EA, but I really hate their online system.

Everyone need to connect not only to PSN / XBL, but also to EA Nation.
Me and many other people are suffering different troubles with it in many titles.
And now they are closing servers...
What the garbage... -_-

They need to throw it into trash can. Like Konami with their Konami ID's!
EA, let Sony and Microsoft make good console online services! =)

try to write xwis to reopen the servers. They did it with some old cnc games.



Check out my game about moles ^

This is why i like P2P compared to EA's shitty servers.

 

How long till they shut down BF43? Two or three weeks? 

 

Fuck EA!

 

(end rant)

 

PS-Not like i could play BF43 anyways. Also its not like the game has a SP or something else to do. What a waste of $16.25...

If me and everyone else could log on, then the issue is specific to you, your service, or area. Not with EA and its servers.

And of course you can't play BF, from what I saw of your gameplay anyway.

Well i hate to tell you that its not just me that cant even join a game in BF43, Also i still get black lines in it.  I can play any other game fine with no lag, MAG, Bad company 2, Resistance 2.  

 

And i hate to tell you that im probably high ranking than you in BF43, if you even have it.Its there shitty servers that wont let me play.

 

Oh yeah more proof that its EA shitty servers, check out L4D2 first month. It was a lag fest and it took EA a while to clean it up.

Rank means shit, since it only means you've invested more time into the game. And from the gameplay video you posted of BC2, I'll be really suprised if you can suddenly hit people at point blank range just by switching to 43.

1. Rank does mean shit, because Rank shows how good you are. Durr I can play for four days straight and be low rank, Or i can play for a day and be high rank. It shows how effective you are.

2. That video of BF: BAD company 2, i was playing with ONE hand.

 

Me  - 68907

You -25098

 

That means im twice as good as you are. So if i cant hit anything at point blank than i would hate to see you. 

Like I said, rank shows how many total points you have (which is correlated with how long you play). It isn't a good measurement of "how good you are".

While K/D ratio isn't a good representation of a good player, it certainly is better than rank:

 

Me:
Kills1062Deaths456
You:
Kills2476Deaths2012

Except the hole concept of BF43 isnt to kill the enemy players its to capture flags. 

 

So again im better than you.

 

If you look at score per minute

Me-16

You- 9

 

Once again im better.

 

 

 

...and my stats

 

Total score: 129957
Kills: 4463
Deaths: 1923
Score per minute: 26

So I own you both.


What does this have to do with YOUR ISP stopping you from connecting to 1943 servers?    Oh right, nothing.

Hail to the king, baby =P

 

Still waiting on that video of Garnnet.



gamelover2000 on 17 February 2010

wow.. mercenaries 2 for PC and Lord of the Rings: Conquest also closing?

Again, you were clearly running and shooting, which means you needed your right hand for trigger.

I love how you say it was your first time playing to excuse your poor skill, but then go ahead and say "I wasn't trying".

Just post the video so you can prove that you were indeed playing with just one hand (by showing us NOT running and shooting/looking around)

I like rush mode but I understand it that BC2 also has Conquest mode from the Battlefield games, right? With the flags. I dont like it that much, espeically after having played rush.

I think Conquest is far more popular though? Is there other modes in BC2?

 

There 4 game modes

 

Rush (mostly large maps, vehicles, 12v12)

Conquest (mostly large maps, vehicles, 12v12)

Squad Rush (smaller maps, no vehicles, 4v4)

Squad Deathmatch (smaller maps, single light-armour vehicle, 4v4v4v4)

 

Also a hardcore variant of each with kill-cam, map, aiming reticle and spotting disabled, friendly fire is turned off.

Are you gonna play the Squad matches? I really want to form a Squad/Clan thing. Me, you, Rainbird (?), and one more guy.

I could barely find anyone online for Lord of the Rings: Conquest, and that was only a short while after it came out. It was just about impossible to find anyone who played the game Ranked. Besides, would you keep your servers open just so a couple thousand people can get achievements? I wouldn't.

Be reasonable guys.

Well I know there's about 100 people playing Conquest on the PS3 at the same time.

I can always find full games.

Okay, that kind of proved my point. 100 people is pretty insignificant, don't ya think? And they have to close their servers at some point. They can't be up forever.

Why not patch the games to use P2P instead of rendering the online portion useless
