Wait... Something is missing here...

[Deflex]

I ran across this screenshot as I was reading up on more stuff about Battlefield: Bad Company weapons. When I saw it, I realized that I had not heard or seen anything on if pistols were going to be included in the game...

Check it out: LINK (http://planetbattlefield.gamespy.com/screenshots/?ss=1076&view=ss&page=7&subcat=28)

As you can see, on the bottom right of the picture, there is a beretta pistol (92fs or M9? I cannot tell the difference anyway...) directly to the left of the LMG.

Now, I haven't been upset to this point but please don't say...

NO PISTOLS! (wtf?) There has to be! :cry:

And is there really going to be an rpg? :nod: That would be... Nice! ;)

Not that anbody would know this information, but I can't imagine a FPS without a nice selection of pistols to choose from. Of course, that screenshot is just a collection of some of the weapons that have been rendered, so I am hoping that the ones I haven't seen or heard about yet, (the pistol and the rpg) will be included.

[StoneCold313]

Im pretty sure that there is pistols...

I mean, there has to be... What kinda soldier you are, if you don't have a backup gun?

And the notorious RPG would be awesome.. :D

I know that there is some sort of rocket launcher in the game. That was shown in this video i saw while back...

One specialist(ie anti-tank class prolly) shoots the tracer dart to the tank, other one locks on to it and shoots around the rock to destroy the tank...

But to be honest, im gonna be looking foward to the sniper class the most, and the laser designator what it has... :D

*edit*

In the news section there is a video showing the SP and the RPG... So it's definetly there..

lol :D True dat!

That will be sweet, but sort of unfair for tanks and other armour...

Heck yes! You can definently do some major pwnage from a long distance with that kit... :p Too bad for all the people who love using vehicles and tanks. It's going to be a hard life getting around in a tank or apc without being spotted by recon, hit by artillery, blown up by C4 or mines, and of course, now you might get shot with a rocket coming from someone halfway around a building that you can't see... :|:

Good thing I'm not a 'tank' person. I never really had any luck whatsoever when riding around in a tank in bf2, and so I stuck to infantry, and I really started loving the infantry only maps. So, as it seems, I might actually have a bit of an advantage if I stick to my old tactics... :) But the gameplay, from what I've heard, is very balenced and equal, so we'll just have to wait and see... :nod:

NICE! I like watching the single player videos. I hope it's really as good as 'they' say it is.

Sweet! Can't wait until May 29th! :yay:

[StoneCold313]

That will be sweet, but sort of unfair for tanks and other armour...

Think about it the other way... They can basically drive through a house without any problems... I think that is unfair.. ;)

Besides it needs some teamwork with the rocket launcher... So i don't think that will be too unfair.. Since think about it... N00bs + no mic + rocket launcher what requires team work = FAIL.. :D

[Deflex]

Very true... I was just thinking about how tanks could like shoot right through a house and obliterate everything in their paths. It'll be fun either way and truly different from any other game. :p

Yes! Teamwork! :D

[StoneCold313]

I've been thinking about this whole teamwork aspect...

And it seems that it's time for me to buy a mic for the PS3... I can't type fast with the on-screen keyboard. And add tank coming through the house where you are hiding and typing... :D

[Deflex]

Yeah, mics are fantastic. Cool thing is, that since most of us here are PC gamers too, you should buy a pc mic that is compatible with the PS3. Even though I have an Xbox 360 and two mics for it, I bought a PC mic, and found out that it could work with the PS3 too, so yeah, that would be the way to go friend. :nod:

About the teamwork. I am SO excited about the fact that you can create a squad previously before joining a game, so you can be with all your friends. That means no NOT getting along, no n00bs, 9 year olds, bull$**t in general, or people who enjoy tking! :p

(Occasionally I do anyway... ;))

[StoneCold313]

For PC i got Fatal1ty Gaming Headset... They have a mic, but because of the plugins it doesn't work with PS3...

Im just thinking about some old cheap headset(maybe the one came with Socom back in the day)...

And the create squad before game is similar what GTA 4 has... In that you can create "party" by inviting people from your buddy list to join ya. And then go raidin servers, and go head to head against other parties...

But i really like the thing... And i can't wait to see how it works with BF...

[BrokenMachine]

I have a Logitech USB 350 headset for my PC. I haven't thought about trying it out on my ps3 but I'll have to give it a go before I go out and buy a new one.

Teamwork FTW ;)

Yeah, my PC mic is a logitech too. Chances are, if it is USB, then it'll be compatible with the PS3.

they had it in halo 3 aswell, me my uncle and his mates would do 2v2's and 5v5's allnight

[Flamesfan_21]

I really need to invest in a headset for this game, its the one thing my PS3 is lacking.

And as for the OP about pistols, yes they are in the game.

[StoneCold313]

I bought bluetooth headset today, and it's working perfectly... It cost 15€(23usd), and with GTA 4, no problems at all... And the VoIp isn't even optimized in that game, so i can't wait how it performs in BF:BC...

[Deflex]

Sweet dude...

Guess what?

5 days, 5 hours, and 57 minutes until demo release from NOW! :D

[BrokenMachine]

The only reason I've not got one is because the only one's i've seen aren't stereo headphones just a mono one and thats no good if people are shooting you from different sides.

[StoneCold313]

I set up mine that the game sounds comes from the TV(so does other peoples voices)... So it works as an mic right now...

I changed the settings a bit last night, i haven't tested it yet.. But if it works like i hope/think. Then the voice should come from the earpiece, and the game sounds from the TV...

[Deflex]

Hmmmmm, by the sound of it, and I don't mean to say anything bad about the PS3, but setting up the mic for the Xbox 360 is basically just plug n' play. :D The only thing about it, is that every game (on the 360) as far as I know, uses a different system like in Halo 3, you have the 'push to talk' setup only, and in COD4, you just talk and your heard by everyone in the game or on your team, depending on the game type.

If the setup you tried doesn't work then check in the options of one of your games to see if there are settings where you can make the voice come from the earpiece, and the sounds from the TV, like you wanted. Because for the 360, again - there is just a settings menu where you can change all that by just clicking on the one you want, but I'm not aware of how the PS3 works in that respect...

[StoneCold313]

^^

It would be the same if i would use USB/headset with cord... :p

With bluetooth(no wires :D), you have to connect the mic and the PS3. What is basically push of an button. You can set up the output for the in-coming voices when you set it up. And i used the TV output at first. But then i changed it to the headset and it works like a charm...

[Deflex]

lol, wish I had bluetooth... :(

Good for you that you got it working! :D

[BrokenMachine]

At least you've got it all working now, I'm gonna give my USB headset a go first I think. Why they didn't make a bluetooth headset with 2 earphones we'll never know :confused:

[StoneCold313]

It worked from the start... But i messed up the output sound.. Meaning all the voice chat came out from my TV along with the game sounds...

After changing the settings, the voice chat comes out from the earpiece, and the game sounds from my TV...

And the bluetooth headphones with 2 earphones, wouldn't be good... Atleast i wouldn't buy them...

Because if they are "closed" earphones, then it would be hard to hear the game sounds. And you really don't want every sound coming out from the headphones... :D

[Flamesfan_21]

Hey Stonecold, whats the name of that Bluetooth headset? It sounds exactly what i need.

[StoneCold313]

Hey Stonecold, whats the name of that Bluetooth headset? It sounds exactly what i need.

It's called Insmat HS200. But i don't know if you can get them from outside Finland...

If you want bluetooth headset, and got the cash to spend on it. Here's Logitech's PS3 bluetooth headset

http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/gaming/playstation_3/devices/3675&cl=gb,en

But if you don't have the cash...

There are other(cheaper) options too...

Sony's BT's seem to work pretty well with PS3... And then there is Jabra's, they seem to work too, and they shouldn't be that expensive...

*edit*

Here's one what should work without any problems

http://www.play.com/Games/PlayStation3/4-/3593100/Gioteck-EX-01-Bluetooth-Headset-For-PS3/Product.html

[Flamesfan_21]

That second one seems ideal. I hear so many bad headsets on PSN that i didn't know what headsets worked well. Many thanks.

I'm sure that Logitech headset is amazing, but £60 is a little much. Sadly i don't earn enough to justify that :cry:

[Deflex]

Anything made by Logitech is simply amazing. I never get anything that I hate and wanted to return for my money back. They also got so much stuff to choose from...

I'd go with the Logitech, hands down. ;)

That Logitech is bit too expensive for me too... But the good thing is that Logitech hardly makes products that doesn't work/breaks down fast. And if there is a problem, they are willing to change the product...

But if you wanna look at some other options, there is lot of Nokia's, Sony's(previosly had lot of problems, apperantly Sony fixed them with the firmware updates) and Jabras(comes with Warhawk game) what works great with PS3...

But the GioTeck should work without any problems too, since it's made for PS3...

I didn't realise you could make it so only the voices come from the headset. I was just assuming that voices and sound came through the ear piece at the same time. Hence the reason why I was going on about having 2 earphones. But that sounds pretty good just having the voices on the headset. Might have to invest in one now :)

[StoneCold313]

That would suck if all the sounds would come from the earpiece...

But thankfully you can set it, so the voice chat comes out from it...

But i've been really happy with the mic.. For the past few days i've been playing GTA 4 online with some peeps from Finland, and mic takes the thing to whole new levels of fun... :)

[Deflex]

Yeah, except for one pattern I notice with the mic is that once you start talking and other people realize you're a friendly person, you start getting all sorts of friend requests... :)

[StoneCold313]

There's nothing wrong with some Finnish peeps sendin me a requests... But when some japanese kid sends me a friend reqest, then things are getting out of hand...

I just usually deny all the requests what doesn't say anything...

[Deflex]

Wat if it's a nice little Japanese boy? :)

I just have the people I actually know in real life, then a few cool guys I met playing online, but I keep it to a minimum cuz I hate forgetting people and where I first met them, so yeah - I try my best to avoid most requests too...

He might been a nice guy, but my internet connection isn't fast enough to connect to japan in MP and expect a lag free experience... :D

Most people i have in my buddy list, is from Finland, and they are from these forums(finnish one) i post...

Then there is few random names too...

And finally, Therealmat from TGN is on my list too...

[Flamesfan_21]

Yea its easy for the friends list to get a little out of hand. I generally only stick with the people who i game with on a regular basis.

I'm definitely gonna need a headset for this game tho, its a must for a BF game.

[Deflex]

True... Like I said before, I just recently got a logitech headset for my PC and Battlefield 2 automatically became 10x funner than it was cuz teamwork is always the key there... And I've been playing BF2 for almost 2 years before I even considered buying a headset... :laugh:

Squad work in Bad Company will be extraordinary, I can see it already... :D

[StoneCold313]

I think it takes some teamwork to dominate the tanks with the tracer dart/AT4 combo...

Atleast i hope it takes some...

[Deflex]

I think there has to be teamwork and it would be hard to do it if no one in your squad has the appropiate kits...

I think that first the specialist kit has to shoot the tank with the tracer dart, then the Anti-tank kit can lock on to it from anywhere, within a certain range probably...

[StoneCold313]

Yeah, that's about it....

I just hope that people who has the anti-tank kit(and doesn't have a mic) understands to lock on to that tank ASAP when i shoot that tracer...

And to get people to use the specialist kit, they should give point or two for shooting that tracer(you shoot tracer, i shoot the tank we get points. If i shoot the tracer and no-one destroys the tank, i don't get points)... Just to get people to use that kit...

[Deflex]

I just hope that people who has the anti-tank kit(and doesn't have a mic) understands to lock on to that tank ASAP when i shoot that tracer...

All the more reason to squad up with yout friendsbefore joining the battle! ;)

Hopefully someone in DICE thinks like that too... And has suggested that system... :D

Anyways...

It's 4:46 AM here, so technically i got one more day to go...

[Deflex]

Almost one day left here... Right now it's 9:32pm so acccording to my countdown i got to wait 1 day, 2 hours and 28 minutes... :D

That is until midnight though, but I'll change my countdown till later so I don't get too excited and wake up all my neighbors. ;)

[StoneCold313]

I need to call to the game store in few hours, to get some clarification to the whole demo thing...

[BrokenMachine]

Well I finally caved in and just bought a Gioteck EX-01 Bluetooth Headset for my PS3. So I'm all ready to go for the release of the demo.

No doubt tho we won't get it till next week and Deflex might end up being the only one of us here playing it

[StoneCold313]

^^

Have u tested it already? If you are, how is it?

[BrokenMachine]

Its been on charging. Looks pretty nice. I'm Just watching England vs USA (football) at the mo so I'll give it a try after that.

[sGkillfest]

TBH i would go test the headset rather than watch the match it's pretty boring atm :)

[BrokenMachine]

Lol yeah well we just got another goal so its picked up a bit. The thing is were not gonna see them in the European Championships so I might as well watch them while I can.

Haha, even so, I will make sure I let all you guys on on what's goin' down on the new thread I started titled, "Battlefield Stories from the Frontlines (http://www.totalgamingnetwork.com/main/showthread.php?t=158472)."

I wanted to keep it official so hopefully an admin comes by and makes it a sticky, but either way I can see that it'll get popular once the demo comes out... ;) lol

[Flamesfan_21]

Damn right, your country gave us the best netminder in modern hockey! You even live in the same freaking town!

Ahh well, Deflex will have to be our font of knowledge for the 5 days or so until us poor suckers finally get it.

[Deflex]

lol, I would be honored. ;)

Just keep watching the other thread I talked about in my last post... I personally sent a PM to [MyIs]Spawndemon, so hopefully, like I said - it becomes a sticky for easy access to all those who are going to start showing up after the demo release, who haven't participated in any Bad Company threads yet... ;)

[BrokenMachine]

^^

Have u tested it already? If you are, how is it?

Well I tried my headset out on GTA IV and it seems to work fine. Setup was pretty easy. The sound is pretty clear and people seemed to be able to understand me so thats gotta be a good thing :)

If you wanna tweak the settings. You might wanna check out the options from the "start a new chat" thing in the buddy list...

There is few things you can adjust, like mic volume, and input/output for the chat...

Haha, interesting... I never thought that I would have learned that on the TGN forums... Never! :laugh:

See... I know Canadians are crazy about Hockey, but I had no clue that it was a big sport over in Finland... So, who's better between Canada and Finland? ;) Pardon, I never watched Hocky in my life, cuz as you all know here in the USA, football is what's up!

And since I'm part Mexican too, I'm extremely crazy about soccer, and I love watching the World Cup!! I guess in England, you call soccer football, my bad... Haha.

Btw, does everyone in Finland speak English or is the main language... Finnish? Sorry, If I sound rude... :p

Here football means soccer, and American football means NFL... :D

Ok here's few simple ones for you

Miten menee = How's it going

Hyvää päivää = Good Afternoon

Mikä sinun nimi on = what's your name

Mistä olet kotoisin = where u are from

Minkä ikäinen olet = how old are you

and so on...

Of course then there is the slang what is bit different from these examples..

Yea, the Fins produce the cream of the crop in hockey IMO, not taking anything away from the Canadians, they are awesome as well.

But, come on, Mikka Kiprusoff ftw.

Yeah... Miikka Kiprusoff is amazing goalie...
