Your Play Style/Roll in BFBC

Re: Your Play Style/Roll in BFBC

That's right, but we'll get the Uzi (Rank 4 unlock) as soon as we start. Besides, the other 7 maps might be entirely different styles of play. Were you on the beta, by any chance? And if so, could you tell us what the other two maps are like?

I was never on the beta. I know that there was another map called Ascension but I don't know anything else.

Re: Your Play Style/Roll in BFBC

I never used my mic on the PC BFs, 1st of all I wasn't in a clan and 2nd of all my mic sucked and 3rd of all not many people spoke.

I love recon and demolition, I get so many good streaks. 18 kills without dying with sniper. Demolition I get loads of kills too. Not boasting but with that I'm usually around the top in the scoreboard at the end of the game. Yesterday 3 consecutive matches being 1st but then I left.

Oh yeah, I unlocked a sniper which I really don't like. It' s a smaller one which shoots far more but it doesn't do much damage. I regret unlcoking it. I really don't like it.

Btw when we get the full game, will we start from 0 as in ranks, unlocks you chose and points?

Re: Your Play Style/Roll in BFBC

I wasn't reffering to you personally about the mines as I know you prefer sniping anyway. But what I meant was that anyone who plays the Demolition class should unlock the mines as they are an excellent choice for defense.

How is the M95 anyway? Is it like the BF2 one where the accuracy is horrible or is it as accurate as the bolt action?

We have an update coming soon so I'd expect some changes (if only minor) to some of the weaponry. Hopefully they will sort out the TK issue with the mines as well.

Yeah, if you like to play mostly demolition, then mines are a must for you...

The M95 is accurate, but in BF2 and in this(M24) the bolt actions are bit more accurate, but not much(my personal opinion). But the M95 has bit more zoom in the scope so basically it's perfect for shooting far.

I hope that the update has some fix to the mic problem...

Re: Your Play Style/Roll in BFBC

1. If you haven't unlocked the mines then you really need to as they're essential to the demolition class and you'll get loads of kills.
2. If you don't have VOIP then how is the demo guy gonna know you've tagged the tank in the first place without watching you and the only way he can do that is when he's not totally behind cover.

The specialist can't be behind cover to tag the tank in the first place so he could easily be killed trying to do that. If you have 2 Demo guys rather than 1 demo and 1 specialist then you could surround the tank and destroy it before he could take you either of you out.

I didn't unlock the mines because i really don't play as demoliton that much.. I took Laser Designator, M95 and the adrealine injector.

2) When Specialist tags tank, there is that sound. "Transponder transmitting" or something similar. All you need to do as demolition guy, is bring the scope up and you can see the square where to lock on.

Besides, the AT4's are way too underpowered against tanks for you and your buddy to take out a tank without him nailing atleast one of you. Unless the driver is total n00b...

And top of that, one specialist can take out the tank by himself with the C4 he carries. Or if that doesn't work out, he can always jihad jeep his way to victory...

After everything, this thing comes down to personal preference. You might prefer 2 demolition guys, or 1 demo and one specialist...

Either way, when it comes to these two classes, hardware on the map better be ready...

Re: Your Play Style/Roll in BFBC

Either way, you're using two men, regardless of what class they each are. It's just as easy either way, it's merely a matter of preference. Plus, Specialists also have an equiv to C4, so they can set traps on things like bridges, and take out tactical points to stop the enemy's advance... albeit, somewhat ineffective in oasis, as tanks are now amphibious...

Re: Your Play Style/Roll in BFBC

Few pointers(we speaking about the demo)...

1) Some of us hasn't unlocked the mines.
2) The VoIP doesn't work, so it's difficult to radio anyone to help



And if you pop up behind cover, that gives the tanks gunner time to take you out. But with the tracer, they wont even see where the missle came from.

Re: Your Play Style/Roll in BFBC

I still don't buy it I'm afraid. Given the Demolition class also carries mines you can force the enemy armour to where you want it then take it out (unless they decide to drive over them). If you have 2 demolition guys (rather than 1 demo guy and 1 specialist) then you can practically mine every entrance/road to your base on that demo map. Then any team mates can radio the demo guys to where they need help and then you got your teamwork Anyway it only takes a second to pop out from behind cover and shoot the tank and then hide again.

Re: Your Play Style/Roll in BFBC

Exactly...

And you can't shoot the tank with the AT4 from behind cover(behind hill for example) without the tracer...

Re: Your Play Style/Roll in BFBC

Perhaps. But it promotes teamwork, and means that tank can be eradicated just that little bit easier.

Re: Your Play Style/Roll in BFBC

I realise what the specialist is for but like I said I don't need anyone to tag a tank for me to take them out. I'd rather have the other person doing something useful than have 2 of us trying to take out 1 tank when I can do it myself just as easy. It seems more of a gimmick than anything else.

Re: Your Play Style/Roll in BFBC

The specialist class is meant to team up with the demos to take out the tanks effortlessly and easily.

Me and my friend did this and the two of us combined took care of any armor problems that would require 3 or more demos to take care of. I simply paint the target and then he doesn't even have to be in the line of sight of the tank and simply fires a rocket which takes out the tank.

Sadly both classes are only usable in close range. I find the Specialist to be as capable as the demo in combat as he has more range and still can kill anyone really fast close up.

Re: Your Play Style/Roll in BFBC

Also, sometimes when I DO tag vehicles, I don't even get an assist for it. Sometimes, I get two assists for one vehicle...

Is the assist for helping destroy the vehicle, or help hit it? I've gotten the bonus after both...

And EA have never seemed to be big on VOIP, nobody used it in BF2/2142, everybody used Teamspeak or similar programmes...

I've gotten bonuses when demo's has destroyed the armor... Somekind of "Tracer assist bonus"... Im not sure you get points if they only hit that target...

PC users generally don't like people they don't know, especially spazzy kids, yelling at them over VOIP. Most prefer server-specific TS, Vent, etc, so that they can control who's on.

I agree that it kinda sucks for teamwork, but all you have to do is read the complaints on Console forums about how annoying open VOIP is. If they want it to work, they've gotta make it much easier to selectively block/mute/filter out the clowns.

It's bit easier for PC to set up different voice over... But since we are on consoles, mute feature would be definetly welcome... I've been listening some weird stuff ever since the demo was released. Just to mention few, there was one TK'er who had somekind of music playing. I closed my mic because i tought that would shut him up, but the music started to come from my TV next. So i had to change server.

Second one worth mentioning would be 2 guys speaking French(apperantly), it wasn't as annoying as the music, but it would help to coordinate teamwork if i know what the heck you are talking about..

None of the VoIP sounds has been crystal clear in the demo. There is always static in them, some has more and some less...

So DICE needs to fix that when the game is released..

And the good thing in this is that there is some signs in the air that patch is coming...
