Liking Hardcore Mode so far. Managed 13/0 as a recon using a SV98 & 12x scope part way through Atacama. Ended on 16/2 though as I had to run after my own assault guys, pleading for ammo! Needless to say, I got capped in doing so. Nice teamwork guys - lol! Is there much difference between the...

Is that for definite, Scutch? I was thinking like with the damage indicator that you see hovering over a friendly tank when playing as an engineer - that that figure was also used on the death cam of enemy tanks? Just an assumption though... On a different note, had a random look on Wikipedia...

Spotted it park up in Haslingden Tescos on the way home, Friday night. Your car was definitely cleaner than mine! :) D.

Could be, I guess - that does make sense. If I've been in a tank battle with someone though a good 9 out of 10 times, their health is down - sometimes annoyingly low - lol! Another question. How does the game work out the vehicle perks? By that say I select V-Hard and the player with me also...

Had my first 'confirmed' case of a hack earlier today. :( Started on Arica Harbour rush as the Americans. Only 2 players per side at this point and I jumped into an Abrams as an engineer with the V-Hard perk for the vehicles. Spotted an enemy T-90 in the distance and called it up - by which...

I leave them as default. Makes it much easier when you hear an opposition voice close by, imo...

I take it everyone plays with War Tapes audio enabled as well? :) D.

I must have been playing against my s**t-Sniper counterpart on that map last night in Rush Mode! :) We (as the Yanks) got pushed back to the last 'base' on top of the hill. I manned that machine gun turret on the back corner on the roof of the main building, trying to stop them coming up from...

PMSL! Had a WOEFUL round as recon last night. 47 shots fired and only 2 kills! :o Had an accuracy of 19% with it - and even that's piss poor. Less than one in five rounds hit! D.

How hard is it M95'ing pilots in the helos? I know you could do that in BF2, but I never once managed it. D.

Shame on you. Punch yourself in the nuts for such an act of extreme lameness. Then repeat "Thank you, sir. May I have another?" D.

I find that Netgear is very much a Ford Focus/Vauxhall Astra equivalent of a router. Loads of them out there and they do what they need to do without worthless addons and configs that only a network tech would want. The last one I bought was a DGN2000 (http://www.netgear.co.uk/dgn2000.php) and...

Had a quick go as recon last night - got a few guys, but most points were from the Spots of enemy. What's the 12x scope like people? Any good? Managed to get two snipers 'back' for nailing me first. Gets quite addictive moving in and out of cover! I actually waited for a good 30secs or so for a...

Aim the paint-gun (sorry) tracer-dart at the target you want to track. Doesn't matter how far away it is - the tracer flies arrow straight. That blob of 5 pixels on the horizon is actually an enemy tank, but not a match for the accuracy of the tracer dart. Allow said tank to approach (assuming...

Bummer. Would have been good to have a BBC Micro in the background running Revs or an Amiga playing Stunt Car Racer. ;) D.

Lee - did Geoff Crammond have any input into this current F1 title? Even a passing suggestion? A whisper of advice? :) D.

Ah, you've got Lee's old Trophy then? Good number! :) Probably something and nothing - I'd get it to a specialist such as RS Tuning which might be the nearest to you? D.

I take it everyone has unlocked the Secret Mission too? :) D.

Never online m8 with RTS games - I'm utterly hopeless at them! I did try a fair few times with my favourite of Company of Heroes but consistently got my arse handed to me. I'm not sure there's a skill set low enough to support my RTS ability! :) D.

That's clearly a design flaw in the game, then. An expert tank driver shouldn't be able to run riot through the map - even with two engineers onboard. Just in the same way that a helo pilot shouldn't be able to pwn all because short of a good tracer-dart combo, the only thing decent enough to...

I still think the tracer dart system is a bit lame. I've seen it a few times now where someone quad-bikes in to our base, nips around the back and tracer darts the helo - usually right at the rear so that boarding pilots don't see it. Makes it much easier to bring down - obviously. Managed to...

Awesome - cheers for that! :) D.

Not really looked into this as of yet, but is there anyway of getting the old XP-style network icon on Windows 7.... ...and replace the utterly pointless, inanimate, Icon of Turd that comes with Win 7? I've already got the Windows Gadgets installed that tell me the info I want, but I miss...

Looking forward to the expansions for this. Which one's coming first, does anyone know? Would be great to a full-blown campaign playing as the Zerg, imo. D.

That's mainly what I was getting at a few posts back. Get a couple of skilled medics together with decent unlocks and its really quite difficult to over-powered them. Unless an APC or tank makes an appearance (yet another reason why I MUCH prefer vehicles in game). In fact, a trio of us (two...

Those case mods are a bit 'meh', thinking about it. Check some of these out... ;) http://www.tomshardware.com/picturestory/549-case-modding-russia.html D.

That does sound a much better approach. Though I guess it mainly works on clan games or where people know each other well? I can't remember if it was Project Reality that I played where even the pilot class had its own kit - and you couldn't board a plane/helo when equipped as assault, support...

The trouble with any of those types of weapons, is that they are rarely used in the game for what they are designed to do in real life. You hardly ever see people firing those those types of guns from the mid-to-long range in the typical 'fire support' role. More often than not, they are there...

Had my first rage quit of BC2 just now - lol! ;) Just utter b****cks of the highest order. If FRAPs didn't take up so much drive space with its recording, I'd leave it on permanently to record some classic BS moments. Some of the outcomes were just laughable - begging the question of WTF the...
