Battle Recorder

[Flamesfan_21]

Does anyone know if BC will feature a theater mode like BF2/2142's Battlerecorder? I haven't seen or heard anything so my hopes aren't great, but i always enjoyed being able to watch games after playing them.

I'm assuming if it was a feature then we would have heard about it by now. But if anyone knows if its been officially confirmed/denied, then i would like to hear it.

Thanks lads :salute:

[StoneCold313]

There is something to take screenshots... Im not sure about the video though...

But since there has been discussion about ability to record/upload videos to Youtube with PS3.

So if that is true, there is no need for DICE to include battlerecorder...

I drew first TGN blood today with my knife... And the victim was Flamesfan... :salute:

[Flamesfan_21]

Haha, yes, you did. Never saw you coming.

Ill be getting even though, don't you worry :thumbsup:

Shame they're not recorded in the demo :P And if there is a screenshot feature as well, be aware if(when) I knife you, the screenshot will make it on here within a matter of minutes :thumbsup:

It's strange, a lot of people are saying they dislike the demo! Probably the same people who rawk at CoD4, but can't cope with playing in a different team-based style...

[off-off topic] Could you hear me at all THIS time? :laugh:

There has to be somekind of screenshot taker... Since there even is achievement about it... "Take 3 images using Photomode Immortalize the "Bad" Moment"

And i haven't heard anyone talking today.. All i heard is gamesounds... Maybe it's because of me, or people has given up on the mics until DICE get's the fix out...

Seems like you also didn't see me, those two times I knifed you :thumbsup:

I saw you the first time... But not the second time...

Our team was sucking soooo bad that it wasn't even funny...

For example, my squad leader, he was running around the second base(Farm) as sniper when the fight was alread two bases ahead...

But don't worry... I'll get my tags back... :salute:

Haha :p The first one shouldn't count, as I was 'sort of' spawnraping...

The second one... christ, that helped our team out, you two snipers were owning our team, and it took me a while to figure out where you were. I even tried sniping at you from across the river, but realised I suck at using a sniper rifle and only hit one of you once out of about 2 magazines. So I just used my friends Ms. Stealthy and Mr. Knifey...

The first time it was spawnraping... But theres no rules in war, right?

When you tagged me the second time, i was just painting a tank for my JDAM, but you came in messed that up... :D

[Flamesfan_21]

Lol, i hate that, you get a tank all lined up, your halfway through guiding the rocket down and BAM! red screen.

All you can do is watch helplessly as your would-be prey drives off. :laugh:

[StoneCold313]

^^

Yeah... The part where the tank drives off is really salt to the wounds... :D

[BrokenMachine]

I knifed Limehouse the other day and I almost had you StoneCold but some guy shot you just as I was about to knife you so I'm gonna have to hunt you down seems as though your always sniping :evil:

Shame the dogtags wont carry over on the full game as I already have a load of them :(

I hate when this happens too and when we lose and I hear "You guys Suck" I think to myself "Yes we did!" :laugh:

[StoneCold313]

First time i heard that "you guys suck", i tought that "thanks, that helps a lot"... :D

Then there is that "Gold is mine... I mean ours" on the spot i tought about Gollum from Lord Of the Rings, and his "my precious".. :laugh:

@BrokenMachine

What can i say... I have snipers guardian angel sitting on my shoulder.. :D

Today she seem'd to be on vacation though...

Im always up for the challenge... So bring it on... :guns:

[Limehouse]

Pssst... Everybody, let's team on on Stonecold so the bastard can't take down half my team again... YOU KILLED THEM! THEY WERE MY FRIENDS! :mad:

[StoneCold313]

Hey!!!! HOLD ON!!!

I haven't unlocked the semi auto sniper... When i get that, you can bring you whole team against me... It's gonna be OWNAGE(with CAPS).... And that thing has silencer too... Even better... :D

[Kyle]

Its a shame all you people have PS3's ... I love the demo for the 360.

[StoneCold313]

^^

It would be good if everyone from here would have the same console, so we could team up to create some mayhem... :D

Most people who post regularly on here seem to have PS3's, oddly enough.

[Flamesfan_21]

Yea, PS3 all the way for me.

Had a good snipe with Stonecold this morning. Until he got headshotted up on the roof and i was stuck up there with a Machine gun lol.

Great stuff :salute:

I nailed that SOB just minute or two before.. But he came back for revenge.. :D

[alcancer]

It sounds like you guys have some good old fashioned fun rounds. I, too have a PS3 and have been playing the demo. I'd love to play with or against you guys, but I don't think that'll happen since I'm in Texas and you guys all probably play on Euro servers.

I need to find some people from TGN to play with in the U.S. Oh well, it's interesting to hear about your rounds and who knifes who.

Yeah, most of us are around UK-Finland, so connecting to Texas would prolly cause troubles(lag wise). But im sure that there is people around here who's from the US and want's some (bad) Company to the battlefield...

Check this thread out, it has aleast few names who has PS3, some of them are from US and some are EURO...

Yea, Stonecold is fun to snipe with, not so fun when he runs up behind you and puts a knife between your shoulder blades though :p

Too bad we cant play with some of you US guys, would make for some fun games.

[LexLuther]

Server Locations to my knowledge are:
US: West Coast, East Coast
Europe: U.K.

And that's what you get when you don't keep your eyes open.. :D

Connecting to US servers is a problem for me... I always get huge lag in those servers, no matter what the game is...

Geneva?! How odd :p Is this something tax-related? ;)

[drrapid]

I got an Xbox 360 so anyone who's from Europe (specially) then I'll be around in some random server.

Btw the Dog Tag Collection. What will that be about? Like the old BF2-2142 Dog Tag competition and stuff?

[Limehouse]

Bf2 had dogtags?! News to me ;)

And I guess so, I can't imagine they'd serve any other purpose... Plus there's nothing more rewarding that knifing someone you know :p

That was cold lol, to be fair i was trying to headshot a guy at the end of the road.

You juuuust had to ruin it didnt you? lol :p

[sGkillfest]

seems like you guys have been having some fun.. i was busy all last week but should be able to get some games in the week... that is if everyone isn't playing mgs4 :)

[StoneCold313]

Too bad this game doesn't have those BF2/142 kinda radio commands...

I would have said thank you and t-bagged you... :D

[BrokenMachine]

Yeah I've been playing that recently, or should I say watching it, as the cut scenes seem to be about 1/2 hour long each with about 10 mins gaming in between. Still good tho :)

[CoDe 199]

yeah they were a great feature, but realistically it would have been hard to have them in this game (being on a console)

[Flamesfan_21]

Its hard to find a game recently. When i can drag myself away from MGS4 and play the BC demo, im lucky to find a game with over 4 people in it.

I suppose alot of people bought a PS3 for MGS4, so thats where they all must be lol.

[StoneCold313]

Since the d-pad isn't used right now... They could use MGO like commands...

From up arrow you get 4 different texts(attack ones), press right to say "get the gold" for example.

From down arrow, you would get 4 defensive lines. "Cover the right flank" for example

And from right and left arrows you could say thanks, need a ride etc...

So it's not hard to have them... Since it's been done before...

[CoDe 199]

Ah yes the d-pad , forgot about it ;)

After playing some MGO today i really liked how easy the commands were to use, as well as the ability to change them around to suit your tastes. BC should really have this.

Like being able to call for a medic, i swear the amount of times i have jumped up and down (literally) in front of support guys, only to be ignored, is getting ridiculous.

[BrokenMachine]

To be honest I've given up on medics. I had the same problem with a medic I ran up to cos I had very little health. He just stood there watching me as I tried to get him to throw a medi pack down. After a few minutes I just started shooting at his feet but he still didn't do anything :wall:

We really could do with some basic commands like "Thanks" and "Medic" and maybe assign them to the D-pad like you suggested.

[Flamesfan_21]

I make first aid my priority when im playing support, checking my teammates for health before checking for targets. They all have guns, so if there are any threats then they can handle them.

Its amazing the progress you can make when ONE person bothers to use the medi kit.

You ain't the only one who has jumped in-front of medic... :shakehead:

When i play as support, i seriously spam those medkits around... When i run past friendly, i most of the time throw medkit or two at his feet...

But the sad part is that lot's of people doesn't even know that the medkit is in the support class, or they just don't care/realize that someone needs medic.

Those commands what i posted before, they are so simple to use, and they are effective... In the Beta, i remember when the whole team used those commands, and we were pwning.

And even if the whole team didn't use them, it was a good way to let people know what's happenin...

So DICE should seriously look into those commands...

[sGkillfest]

It would be nice to have commands on the dpad, even if it is just to ask for health. or they could just have it so that when you reach below 40% health u automatically call for a medic like some cod2 mods.. and i think they should make the sign above the head of a teammate that needs health a lot easier to see sometimes i just think that support guys don't even know you need health

I think that you start automatically scream for medic when low on health. And there's little sign over your head.

And support guys see people on low health on the minimap.

Im not sure about this though. Im pretty sure that i have heard a teammate screaming for medic...

But that thing doesn't work good enough to get people to realize that someone needs patching up. They should put huge sign over the guys head, so the newcomers figures out too that somethings up and i need to go there... :D

[Flamesfan_21]

Even making the health bar thingy above friendlies bigger could help. Atm i feel its too small and most players just don't see it.

Good point about those medic calls, i hear them sometimes, but i have never seen them linked to an actual player. That auto-call sounds like a good idea to me as well.

I think you have to be support to see who's screaming... But the actual health image thingy is kinda small, so it's difficult to even realize it time to times..

[Flamesfan_21]

Lol, i literally just jumped up and down in front of a support guy, crouched in his face, even shot him in the leg and he didn't get it. He just jumped with me.

We then got shot my a lone SpecOps guy, It kinda feels game breaking at times.

[StoneCold313]

It's really starting to feel that most of the people doesn't know that the support class has the medkits... They just think that the medic thing doesn't excist anymore...

One good way to clear this up would be when ever you decide to spawn as support. For few seconds, there would be big red text screaming "YOU HAVE MED KITS, REMEMBER TO HEAL YOUR TEAMMATES!!"

:D

[Flamesfan_21]

Lol snap, i was just thinking that. That might wake them up a bit.

Maybe "Heal your teammates, you get points for it!" might work better tho lol. I bet you wont be able to move for medkits then.

[StoneCold313]

Lol... That wouldn't be funny when you are sniping from your uber secret hiding spot, and there's 5 support guys throwing med packs at you... :D

[sGkillfest]

They could even add it to the loading screen when you join a server (like the tips on 2142) that would remind a few people to heal their team mates :)

[Flamesfan_21]

^^^ Im praying little changes like that, plus the few odd players who have actually played a BF game on PC or have even read the manual might make healing a little more common.

Also, while were talking about features, how about a basic one, a MUTE feature. Im all for communication, but theres only so much of a kids breathing, crackling over his cheap mic i can take. :laugh:

YES!! I totally agree with you on this. there are way to many kids who just whine and scream on the game that annoy the hell out of me... that combind with the creepy heavy breathing that some people do makes me wonder if im playing a game or calling a premium rate phone line (not that i do you understand :icon_redface:)

[Flamesfan_21]

i didnt assume you did, mate :laugh:

I thought the mute feature would be firmly established in console games by now, but i obviously thought wrong. Bad Company is so great, but sadly let down by all these annoying, yet easily correctable, flaws.

[sGkillfest]

its more to do with Sony than dice on the xbox no matter what game you play you can select someone and mute them so I think its more sony's problem than dices

[Flamesfan_21]

Ahh i stand corrected then, i don't own an 360 so i didnt know that. :thumbsup:

[sGkillfest]

well they should still add it. Its just that they may have overlooked it because its a standard feature on the 360.

That said you can only hear people in your squad (I think) so once us lot get on together it shouldn't be a problem

[Flamesfan_21]

So looking forward to that, it will be nice to have a squad that doesn't run off as soon as they spawn lol.

I play out of Dallas. Feel free to add me PSN: A_Dirty_Hippie. Reference TGN in the friends request. I dont get to play to much but I'd be happy to link up with anyone from these forums when I am on.
