So now we're having to PAY for cheats for a game? 
 Seriously? 
 
For $20 too?

" That's neat. Now how about you fix the lag, Dice. "
You mean they should come over to your place and install a better connection? "
Yeah man. I gotta say - BC2 is smooth as ice on my end. Its your connection "
You one of the lucky ones then. It's not the user's connection....the game ran smooth as butter for me the first two months of release, but then has had consistent (if not constant) lag ever since mid-May. My connection hasn't changed, so it's definitely the game. A quick glance at the EA forums will show you that there's plenty of people with fantastic internet connections who are experiencing lag on this game. "
What version of the game are you guys playing? I'm running it through Steam, maybe that's the thing? "
Hm yeah. Forgot to mention i'm running the 360 version. Theres a good 10 of us with that version and none of us are having lag problems. There is a few occasions where one of my friends isnt able to join MY game. This is fixed by someone else simply setting it up. I can't speak for the ps3/pc versions but 10 out of 10 people without lag problems speaks volumes imho "
DICE is even talking about the lag on the battlefield blog. it exists...or should I say existed. they've performed server maintenance a few times over the last week or so, and I played for a few hours last night and had zero lag, for the first time in over a month. I feel like dancing in the streets. "
So they finally fixed the US servers? I've been playing on the UK servers which have been lag free. Lag free, but with some noticeable latency(understandably). It would be nice to get back on the US servers.

Careful, don't fall off of your tower of bullshit. What a shitty opinion from a shitty troll.

You mean the maps on the disc that I paid for? I'll never forget about those. If EA pulls that shit again I won't be buying the game, I don't care if it's Battlefield 3.

Do you get XP towards your multiplayer rank or is there a separate Onslaught rank?

Well you're in luck as this is one squad against an entire enemy army.  Unless you mean you don't like the idea of squads at all.  In which case this is definitely not the game for you.  May I suggest a Lone Wolf game like Call of Duty. "

A squad on horde thing sounds interesting, but no I don't like squad on squad fights because it reminds me of Modernwarfare. And I hate that game. I play Battlefield games for massive battles. As for squads themselves, I found their only use is as three extra spawn points. Unless your with friends I have never had a squad actually stick together. Everyone just runs off and does their own thing.
 
They need to work on their trailers because after watching that I had no idea that it was a horde mode style game mode.

Squad on squad fighting? Doesn't interest me. Also, love to see their supposed commitment to the PC version still going strong and not announcing a PC version of their DLC's and having the PC version of major updates being delayed. They started out promising enough, but it looks to have kind of gone by the way side.

I had read somewhere it wont be coming to the PC, they gave some BS reason of the networking problem it would be to put it in.  Correct me if I am wrong.

Not really interested, competitive Bad Company is nice and balanced. This AI stuff is better for those games with balancing issues.

I wonder if they'll program into the AI of the bots any of the behaviour that they've seen the human players do in the normal Multiplayer mode.
Maybe having that Hind circle-strafing over your spawn point and wiping you out if you don't spawn on your squadmates.  Or suddenly finding that the entire opposition have disappeared as they've all become snipers.

Looking forward to feedback from the community. Gotta wrap up the Witcher first before I go back to BF:BC 2. Will get it, if the feedback's good.
