SaintHornets. I am glad it's not just me as i now have no awards of patches and lalalala weapons. I have recently been enjoying 'laying to rest' all these newbies, but not for one minute did i expect to suddenly become one. I mean come on i've just got the beans bullets and bandages achievment for christs sake and all of a sudden i'e got the choice of a m24 or a m24 or a m24......in recon )do i need to go on! (hopefully not DICE!!!!!!!). also please fix the sudden grey screen after using the laser designator. I also agree with an earlier post asking for training arenas as trying to learn how to fly the bloody helicopters on line is just offering myself as cannon fodder to everyone hats off and a great deal of respect to those who have mastered this but please help the needy

short range fighting is great, but long range fighting needs some work, u should not need to be a sniper to kill a sniper at long range.

Default Squad Spawn options

Good squads often include a good sniper. Trouble is if they are close enough to the enemy and squad members spawn near them it gives away their position. Also if they are too far away it makes it a bad option. Why can you not cycle your squad members to decide who to spawn near, which would encourage more co-operative type play.

First offf I would like to extend my thanks to Dice/EA for absolutely the best shooter on the market. Teamwork and tactical thinking before killing everything that moves, I love it.
For BFBCII I would like to see a reduction in the motion sensors range and duration as this is an exploit that dramatically lessens the possibility of tactical surprise during gameplay. It cheapens a truly great game in my opinion. I mean, if you want to never be surprised by your opponent go play Halo.
Ground vehicle combat is superb, wouldn't change much. Sniping is realistic and appropriately difficult to master.
In the hands of a good pilot the helis are difficult to shoot down but I don't know how much of that is lag, my skill level or competitive balance.
I hope that my opinions are helpful to you. Thanks again for BFBC I eagerly await the sequel.

I love this game however being a combat vet myself I do have some gripes about some of the stuff that goes on. I don't expect any video game to be super realistic but whats the deal with the dots over the the enemies heads? I could understand the blue dots to identify your buddies. I think if the orange dots where removed from the enemies it would force players to move more tactically. I love the Conquest mode how about a veteran mode no dots on the enemy and weapons like the sniper rifle are one shot one kill especially the 50cal. the M203 40mm grenades should be doing way more damage, its like lobbing practice rounds, guys there useless! make more powerful. I shot at a 998 HUMMV light armored in the game and the round just made a small puff of smoke, ha, have you ever witnessed the damage a real 40mm can do, please fix that. a few tweaks to this game and it would desemate COD4 and WAW. oh get rid of the reds zones open up the levels more. Awesome game otherwise, good job DICE

The Battlefield series has been awesome through the years...played the hell out of 1942 (anyone headbang in the jeep!). BFBC could definatly use a few minor tweaks...

The Assault class' grenade launcher. MORE POWER!
Sniper realism. What would a Barrett M95 do my shoulder? Not 3 shots.

The blips should be team only, full team chat...maybe squads could have there own channel kinda dealy-o?

Best FPS on the market by my standards keep them coming for years to come.

Default Again not for PC gees

When do you learn that shooters should be played on a PC, as long as there are no mouse/keyboard support on the console. Controllers s.. bigtime for that.
Another great title we are never gonna play. DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!

My first stalker!

That's when you know you've "made" it.

Although of course I'm going to say this, but yeah, it's very good. Multiplayer will frustrate you at first (due to the skill of your opponents), but grit your teeth, and you'll be rewarded with one of the most addictive online FPS's ever made.

Singleplayer is also pretty good, and will take you a few tries to properly complete.

Default Full Deck wild card not awarded

I just got the Full Deck wild card award in game (12:15 AM EST Sat May 16, 2009).

I was on the defending team playing gold rush on Valley Run.

I had 55 kills and 22 deaths.

After the game, I went to look at my new award and it's not in the trophy room. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there someone that we can contact to correct this error?

If i throw a sensor and lite up an enemy it clearly assist my teammates if they kill him,I mean if they are killed while under my light i should get an assist for each of those kills.So many snipers save sensors for there own benefit even when the area is hot.Specs get assist points for guiding rockets to vehicles,snipes should get something for providing intel,even if its 1 point.

Also way to much emphasis is put on KDR in determining skill level when both modes are objective based.Taking or saving crates or flags should have more to do with it.

Default Still Lagging

for the last two weeks I have not had a decent connection at all.
then yesterday I tried playing a ranked game. only to find play so unworkable (again) that i couldnt score due to lag.
this morning i was demoted due to loss of form?????
this so called loss is dowt to your servers! so why pretend you are running a viable competition when actaully you are not offering a fair level playing field for all.

I suggest you suspend your league until such server errors are fixed

This games "sucks" at the moment

Default War zone

any chance of you bringing out a warzone game mode, just old school 12 v 12 death match with two bases ??
Only as half the games i paly no one cares aobut the gold and just wants kills, so if u did gold rush would be only for people wanting to destory or defend gold not just huntin for kills.

Default Freezing in the chopper!!!

Can you guys at EA please do something about the Chopper glitch??? Me and alot of my friends are all having the same problem. For some reason, like every other day, we play Battlefield for awhile, and when we get in the chopper, one of us ends up glitching out and freezing. It always happens to someone. All of my online friends say the same thing too. It happens like every other day for them too, and it's been going on for months.

All the updates are great, but you really need to do something about this chopper glitch!!. Nothing sucks more then kicking *** all game , and then getting in a chopper close to the end of the game, and as you take off or get in the air, the game freezes, and then you have to restart your xbox, and then you lose all the points you had for that game.

PLEASE FIX THE CHOPPER GLITCH!!!!!!!!!

Default Here's the biggest problems:

Have played more hours of this game than I care to admit. Here's the problems:

Your search engine sucks. How many times do I have to enter a game to find out there's only 4 people playing? I spend more time looking for full games than I do playing.

And when I request a map, why does it go to a different map 1/2 the time? (more like 90% of the time in Conquest). I would like to play the new conquest maps, but I CAN'T get to them!! (separate playlist maybe? Halo did it like 3 years ago)

You could fix BOTH of these problems by making your search engine like it was in BF: Modern Combat. Show me the available games/map/how many players/connection speed. I can PICK! How you go BACKWARD on search engines? You made Modern Combat like 2 years ago...

The Arty Glitch. You know about it. Fix it. The non-stop artillery is a game-changer on some maps(Oasis for one).

As someone else mentioned, I can stop a team on some maps by simply throwing out motion sensors. I don't get any assist points? Really?

There ya go--PLEASE fix these, especially for BC2! The search engine ESPECIALLY!

2. I think that it would be cool in the next update, if there was an option to customize a character. You could pick what they looked like, and pick which specific weapons that person would carry. Like for example, I could outfit a guy with a sniper, a rocket launcher, and C4. That would be really sweet. Maybe you could take it into consideration?????

For the love of god no! You end up with call of duty, and it sucks. Its not like that in real life, there are no supper soldiers. They don't give you a sniper rifle, an rpg, and c4 and say, here...go kill everything you can find...and by the way, here take these med kits so that you will never be stopped. Boreing and Stupid! These games is ment to be played as a team. If you want to select all your gear, play another game and leave this one alone for the rest of us.

about the problems since the updates? well since EA is infallible, if you do contact them or post on here about problems. the EA rubber-stamp reply is, "Its must be on your end"
