[quote name='paz9x']that video is outstanding. so true with all the damn snipers.[/QUOTE]
I love recon for the suit, i usually use C4 and mortar as well, It reminds me of specialist. BUT, I do use a M1 Garand so I'm a recon that runs around like he is suppose to. It's nice when I'm never at the bottom of the scoreboards though

Oh, the SV98 with 12x scope is AMAZING. Gotta adjust for drop, but once you do.....just amazing as defender.

Man, I'm dying for some people to play with that I can actually communicate with. I keep getting thrown on squads where all the other guys are recon, and they're sitting in the back sniping. I know that someone mentioned a CAG BC2 gamertag a few pages back, but didn't see if that had been made yet.
Anyways, my gamertag is Schmackledorf (just like my name on here), so feel free to send me an invite at some point. Just let me know you're from CAG somehow. I look forward to seeing you guys online!
Also, what are the prerequisites for getting the Garand? I've got a veteran rank of 1 without 1943 and Bad Company 2 (sadly I never registered BF2 or Vietnam), but I still don't have it unlocked. I think I saw someone's post a while ago saying something about 1943 not registering correctly yet, and figured that might be the reason, but I didn't know for sure.

Some people need to learn what objective games mean. In Rush as a Defender and a bunch of people dropped so we were already short-handed at 4 to 8. Last set of M-Coms and I had two snipers huddled together in the same building, not even looking at the last objective.
Outside of that, pretty fun. A good squad really makes the difference though.

Nobody added me last night ;( Anyways, after playing more and more Squad Deathmatch I am getting pretty tired of everyone and their mother sniping. I usually play Engineer with the AKS-74U and move around constantly trying to find people. Sometimes I'm running for like 3~4minutes without seeing a damn soul cause everyone is camping. Althrough I still average 15~20 kills per match and end up with like 1.5 K/D it's still annoying as shit.
I haven't tried any of the other modes yet though because I don't think I'd get the real glory of them playing with randoms. Deathmatch is alright cause it doesn't need much strategy, and even if my team doesn't win I get like 1500~2000 points a match. So maybe I'll keep playing that until I can find a squad to play with
Add Bloodbath219!! And please have a microphone!!

I feel your pain, I was in a team defending last night and twice the attacking team set the charge on our last M-Com and even though there were 4 defenders standing round the damn thing I still had to walk over and was only person who disarmed the charge. When it happened a 3rd time I decided if no-one else was going to disarm it they deserved to lose, and like clockwork no-one bothered to disarm it.
Fjordson, I have my quickplay option set to Conquest or Rush but I always seem to get Rush and the teams are usually full.

When you get paired with a bunch of 1 and 2 man squads, it's going to suck. The first couple rounds I did last night in a squad of four was mostly against tiny squads and it sucked. However once we started getting larger squads joining in on the game, it was much more fun.
Having a full squad in a Bradly while the rest of the squads are too dumb to rocket/mine you is priceless though.
I hear Squad Rush is a hell of a lot better, but I didn't play that last night.

It's definitely nice to have this game apart from MW2, I think they are two entirely different experiences.
BC2 is more comparable to MAG in the sense that in order to rank up quickly and get XP playing as a team is key. It's not a simple run and gun a-la COD where you can basically own a team single handedly if your own team blows.
With that being said, I wish the matchmaking were different also it's nice to know that we won't be having to purchase new maps when they are released something that can't be said with COD.
All in all though I think the single-player experience is much better than MW2's and the multiplayer is definitely more my cup of tea. Really don't understand how anyone can play an online game with no mic though.

i play with my brother and his roomate so i almost always have atleast a 3 man squad. ive actually had decent luck getting people who communicate positively and work as a team. its crazy.
i wasnt saying death match isnt any good, its just for me, rush really outshines it, its not close.
sirloins are good but im going to eat a ribeye if i have the choice.

That is completely false.
Although this game is fantastic it contains absolutely nothing comparable to MAG other than the fact they they both contain guns and objectives. MAG is a completely separate monster that is really only comparable to Planetside.

Yes, because Gran Turismo is comparable to Twisted Metal because they both require you to drive around in cars. Epic movie is comparable to The Godfather because they both have actors in it.
You are taking completely surface level and vague features and trying to put them in the same box. Both games are drastically different from each other and to try and compare them diminishes what both games do well. Hell you dont even gain XP in the same way in either game.

Why bother arguing about semantics? The analogy isn't apples to apples, but I can see the point he was trying to make. The game rewards teamwork more than twitch FPS games. MAG may not be the best example, but it's another FPS that is designed to reward teamwork and completing objectives, even if the scale and mechanics are completely different.
Had my first opportunity to play last night and had a good time. Didn't think I'd like class changes, but the way they've changed it makes it so that every class has a support feature. That's great for a game like this. The single player is much more focused than the first and keeps the momentum going.
People complained about no Conquest in the last game(I was one of them), but it seems that Rush is a more popular mode at the moment.
Played on really long Conquest game last night (like an hour long) because there were only a couple people on each team but it was still a blast and despite the fact that there were smallish teams it still felt like the action was fast paced.
Good game. Fun alternative to MW2s style.

Got a game together with FrankCastle last night, I have also added all the CAGs who have openly asked to group up for BC2 in this thread. My GT: Rico21745, just so you guys know. I will probably be getting another game together at 9PM or so Central time, so add me if you're interested in playing together. I use the Mic quite a bit, and I revive/heal the crap out of people on my team, so maybe you'll enjoy playing with me
Good game last night frank, btw. Was pretty fun.

Hmmm, no reason.
So, after filtering through the huge BC2 release thread for people who wanted to squad up, I finally decided to say screw it and start a new thread to get things a bit more organized. Post in this thread if you are interested in grouping with other CAGs in Bad Company 2.
It would also be a good idea to mention which kit you play most often/are willing to play, so as to give other people an idea as to who can play what.
Also mention your location/time availability, as that may also help people schedule games more easily.
If you have talked to other CAGs and organized your squad, let me know in this thread or via PMs and I will do my best to keep this topic updated, so people know not to contact you (unless you want to be part of several squads, if so make a note of that in your post)
I'll start:
GT: Rico21745
Kit: Medic/Engineer
Location: Texas
Available: Weeknights after 8PM, weekends.
Up for multiple squads?: Yes, if time allows

Guys, I dont understand.
Why is it that pressing back to call out positions only works half of the time. Is it on a time limit or something?
Also, I dont know how they have done it but they have managed to make conquest mode (the mode they are known for) boring as hell. (Gold) Rush like stated above seems to be the more popular mode.

They added an invisible cooldown to prevent back button spamming. IMO, they nerfed it a bit too much, as it seem like they toned down how many times you can spot vs. how many people you can spot.
Also, Conquest is
ed up. Instead of a ticket bleedout, tickets only drop when someone is killed. Basically, TDM with capturable points. Don't know if it is a glitch or not, but it is not Conquest in it's truest form.

It's supposed to when a team owns more than half the flags, but it seems like it sometimes doesn't work properly.
Played quite a bit last night, and I swear, opposing tickets sometimes never dropped despite owning all flags, making the game seem like a big deathmatch. Just going to have to pay more attention to it now.

It drains for sure, just really slowly and depends on how many of the flags you control. I played a team that was mauling my team but we still drained all their tickets because they didn't bother much with the flags.

That's the thing. When I played last night, our team had all four flags uncontested on Panama Canal for about a minute and a half. During that period, my squadmate killed a guy, I killed a medic trying to revive him, and the counter dropped by two. We then lost two flags at once, making it 50/50. After losing those two flags, the other team still only lost those two tickets.
And for what it's worth, when we had those 4 flags, I was specifically paying attention to those tickets because I was suspicious from a few previous rounds that tickets weren't being drained.
Then again, it's very possible I was just imagining things.
