Weapon Balancing:

* CG - It should at least hurt the person who fires it in CQC - in the same way that it works with C4 - this would at least minimize CG as primary weapon. As it is now you can fire the CG at point blank range into an enemy, kill the enemy but sustain no damage yourself.
* AN94 - still OP compared to every other AR/LMG at medium to long range.

You gotta be the biggest QQ rager on this forum about the CG and AN-94, If you have ever fired a An-94 in real life like i have its pretty spot on with the games version. CG you need to learn how to kill it before it kills you.

Huzzah, we're gona get some answers today! Never been this excited!!!!!1! Except on that one birthday when I was a kid, got FF7 from USA before it was released in Europe.

then again theres no doubt that some weapons are overpowered.
still you are right someday we have to except an unbalanced game as it is.

Hey joe are you hot?

zh1nt0 · 03-09-2010, 03:20 PM

How come VOIP is still not working? Why isn't it working. Planning a fix?

Is it possible to add new maps to the game?

Blue chat box? Some people see it, some people don't. Explain please!

Why is there almost no link between the story of Bad Company 1 and 2 ?
What happend with Miss July and the Legionnaire ?

Will there be further performance improvements done to the game?

JoeGrant · 03-09-2010, 03:24 PM

Yes there is a problem with VOIP and we are aware of it. There are things we are working on at the moment and whilst we want to solve VOIP we are currently concentrating on the Hitbox issue first. After that we will see.

Quote:

Is it possible to add new maps to the game?

Yes... the system does support the addition of new maps. This is a fishing question, as you know there is new content coming as part of Vietnam. We have a system that can support additional content. I am not at liberty to reveal what the overall plan is.

Quote:

Blue chat box? Some people see it, some people don't. Explain please!

After talking to Kalms... It is present all the time. Now, whether it is visible depends on whether you have bloom enabled, and what brightness/contrast settings you have in-game. With the default settings, it is hardly visible (a quick check around the office turns out that it is invisible on most machines).

Quote:

There was an intentional tone change.

Quote:

As said, we have several things we are looking at. Hitbox is a big thing right now but there will probably be more adjustments made around the release of Vietnam. We can't yet say what they will be. General performance is not something we are concentrating on.

Glowdeggel · 03-09-2010, 03:26 PM

OMG!!!! lalala??? This should be the answers????

I guess this game dies, there will be Vietnam for some more money for EA, and that's it.

I'll do 3 more levels till I'm 50 and then say good bye.

LukLuk1992 · 03-09-2010, 03:27 PM

Some satisfying answers. Please keep them coming. Thank you. (Hoping for an improvement in Hitboxes

)

@ Glowdeggel: Sh_ut u_p and let them answer as much as they want. At least they finally DO it!

Bingatron · 03-09-2010, 03:38 PM

What do u mean ur not at liberty to say? Does is not make u mad that ur product is seriously flawed due to lack of new content!? The game is brilliant but u need new maps-Vietnam dont count as its stand alone and its PAID, DICE promised us we would never pay for new maps...ofcourse because u were never going to make new maps. just be honest with us and stop letting people down-Are we getting new maps or not?

Glowdeggel · 03-09-2010, 03:39 PM

Here are all questions i have found in this thread:

Where are all the answers?

Will we see working in game VOIP and fully functioning joystick support?

Are you working on a fix for the hit reg?

Are there going to be any new maps before vietnam?

Aren't there two different dev teams working on patches for their respective platform? If that's true, why are PC patches bound by the same limitation as console patches?

is it possible to add new maps to this game?

Vietnam better hurry the F up then, because i'm getting pretty mad over this blue chatbox all the time! HOTFIX?

Can we get a list of fixes COMPLETED for Battlefield Bad Company 2 (PC) that will be in the next patch?

is there any chance the M14 will become a silenced rifle?

when is the next update/patch going to be, if your even busy with it?

when will you fire the incompetent (dice) employees (no names required)?

I'd like to know about VOIP too.
And when or IF are we going to get new maps, not the same maps on other modes.

Why is there almost no link between the story of Bad Company 1 and 2 ?
What happend with Miss July and the Legionnaire ?

Will the reload animation, red dot sight, grenade launcher issues be resolved?

Will there be further performance improvements done to the game?

We need that voip fix pronto? It has been killing the game from day 1. where on the list is this?

What about the brightness levels?

How big is the PC team?

If not screenshots, then any sort of info regarding Battlefield Vietnam will do. Any info / teaser regarding possible vehicles, weapons, gadgets or maps ? Or at least a date / time period at which we might get info.

My question is what will happen if a player, who doesnt have BC2 NAM, joins a server that hosts maps for BC2 and BC2 NAM?

Will that player be kicked from the server if they dont have BC2 NAM?

When will we have scopes on the G3 and M14?

Will we see cancel buttom in updating stats/connecting server windows?

Is there a moment in a year when you're not failing?

Why is there no (Or very little?) deviation for hip fired rpg/tube/cg?

Why is there no arming distance for cg and rpg?

Why is the friendslist limited to 20 friends, while dogtags have no limit?

When will the game be opened up to the modding community?

When can I make a map for battlefield bad company 2?

Is there any game editing software in the works?

When can we expect said software?

Why doesn't BC2 support fully customisable dedicated servers?

EDIT: When will you take another look at the "Your biggest issues" thread?

When can we expect to see some or any of these issues fixed?

How are new ideas tested before they are released to the public?

Why are there so many issues wih BC2?

EDIT2: In a helicopter why do you still get hit by a homing missile after activating the flares if the homing missile was fired before you could activate the flares? (using evasive maneuvers ofc)

hey joe,i got a few Qs for u!
1 do u play BFBC2 ?
2 how much do u play ?
3 how is the game working for ya,must be flawless?
4 how much money did u guys spend on promoting this game ?
5 now when the facts is out in the open,will u change anything for the next game?
6 why do....ah fudge ur not gonna answer anyways

llewyn · 03-09-2010, 03:55 PM

So we HAVE to turn off bloom in order not to see the blue box? LAMEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. Try again

So...I take that as another issue you won't fix?

Having to look at the blue tint box every game, this is extremely disappointing.

This just seals the deal, never again will I support DICE. I've tried to remain a positive thinker but it's becoming more clear that they simply don't care. Answering five questions (and then dodging two of them) every week isn't my idea of a question service. More than half of these questions have already been answered. We want some real questions, and real answers.

Regardless, I'm thankful you are looking into hit-box issues; something people have been reporting since the beta.

This answer, isn't an answer.

The system does support additional maps (content),.... Well I would hope so since that 'technology' has been around for 10+ years

As we know... We know nothing! All I've seen is a trailer of which I remember 1 scene of a few guys running around in a jungle That could very well be Laguna presa.

I have a new question:
How about you answer our questions?

When can I add a map I made to BC2 on a ranked server?
I meaning me stealth6666 NOT DICE.

Actually why do I bother, you're not going to do anything like this since it's not possible on xbox. We don't care about 'vietnam mod' since that's all it is a MOD, Why would we buy more broken software to add to broken software, makes absolutely NO sense.

Why don't you just open the game up? (SDK)

Oh wait I can answer that one too, again Xbox users can't use that plus you'd see it as competition, since that would be free DLC. But you could always make it work on non-ranked servers like ETQW did, then you only kill half your game (the ranked half).

Oh well vietnam mod is just gonna be a mega flop on pc at least, I know none of my friends will buy it and most likely none of their friends will either.

Side note: Your forum is the most hostile I have ever encountered, but as I stick around longer and longer I can see why...

Thanks in advance!

lol they sent me a key in an email about a month ago out of the blue, don't know why. never installed the beta nor do I ever plan on paying for that P.O.S game. but i would be happy to sell you my key for $50

that's a joke mods, im not gonna sell it.

The answer to the blue tint chat box is a serious letdown. No urgency, no big deal... they have your money already, so I guess it's a non-issue.

I don't call walking around the office looking at monitors and telling us they see the blue tint sometimes and other times they don't finally answering us. WE ALREADY KNOW THAT! A real answer would of been, we see it, we are fixing it, it will be in the next patch due a week from today.

All I got from the answers was we are working on other projects and we don't care about BFBC2 anymore.

Hmmm, I have bloom turned off and its very noticeable on my screen. That's the worst fix reported by DICE.

TroII-King · 03-09-2010, 05:05 PM

I was pretty pleased with the answers actually. Sure they didn't answer 'all' our questions and problems, but you gotta admit that's the best info we've gotten out in months.

VOIP is on todo list but not primary issue atm. Don't really care, I play with my friends and use other means for communication. This leaves DICE more time and manpower to wrestle with hit req problems, which I'm very grateful of since it is a big issue for me.

Bluebox? Try different settings (Bloom/Brightness/contrast) and see if it disappears.

Was kinda disappointed with 2 of the questions though. We all know it's possible to add new maps. The real question is if we're ever gona get them for free. Also I couldn't care less about Miss July and the legionnaire.
