Was that from before the allegations so it was just a lighthearted goof instead dark and edgy

Semi concurrent and after. I first remember the Cosby emblem in BF4 but we may have been using it in BF3 though I remember the emblem editor being more restrictive in 3. The first lawsuits/allegations against Cosby were in like 2006 and Hannibal Buress was doing standup bits calling him a rapist during BF4's lifecycle (2014)

Cosby logo worked super well because people assumed it was Obama, then got mad again for the whole sexpest thing later on. It's an evergreen logo.

How the gently caress am I being one-shotted by Lis' TV missle while in a tank at full health. How the gently caress is that happening while I'm basically doing like 3% damage with that loving missle every time.

Same way I keep sniping gunners and drivers out of jeeps with the M5 without putting a scratch on the thing. Rocket collisions on some vehicles are broken.

I agree this is true most of the time. I wasn't there for the launch of the games before Bad Company 1. But from BC1, 1943 and BC3 the launches were not terrible from what I remember. I remember people playing BF2 over BF 2142 as well so not sure how good BF2142 was.

Also I am excited what they do next. They did manage to make 2042 fun atleast after years of updates.

I'm stuck with BF because the other main option is CoD/Warzone and something about CoD's gameplay doesn't work for me. Even if you ignore my preference for vehicles, CoD's visual style and/or map design makes it hard for me to quickly visually make out enemies. And its guns are also harder for me to use. I also think Warzone's guns might be even less balanced than BF's - it feels like other players with fancy loadout guns just have drastically lower TTK, while I'm unloading the greater part of a magazine to kill someone.

When this happens it means you hit the driver through the window.

Also there is some stupid quirk of the vehicle respawn logic where if you get shot the driver out of the seat, then the vehicle will continue to regenerate by itself while empty instead of self-destructing, which is why you sometimes get games where it seems like your light transport availability is stuck at 0, or one you called in is stuck in play forever, and it's because there is vehicle somewhere on the map that is immortal and you have to figure out where it is and blow it up before you can call it in again.

How this happens in a tank though I have no idea, sometimes it's because someone stuck C5 to you and the missile set it off.

there's a ton of things i'll miss but the 4 big ones are these









i loved getting hatemail while countersniping with the smoke grenade launcher

i also miss all the goons i used to play this with. i lost touch with all of them over the years, hell a lot aren't even on sa anymore, and i thought about them a lot while playing bc2 the past two weeks with randos.

i loved bc2 but as much as i want them to remaster it, i have to wonder how well it would actually do today. they'd get a decent playerbase due to nostalgia from people like me, but after that initial nostalgia high wore off and the lobbies started getting filled with skylords and tryhard usas and saiga users, i wonder how fast the dropoff would be.

Ya I am the same, I really need to get Battlebit on sale, I keep missing it and getting other poo poo. But I hear that is the closest to BF? The finals by ex DICE devs looks really good but I feel like that's a game you need a real squad with mics to have fun.

Btw I been playing more of 64 player conquest, man it seems like all the players with brain are there. Redacted and conquest 124 seem to have the worst players. Redacted is basically my warmup map then I goto regular 64 conquest. People actually using pings properly, communicating capture points.

Redacted is loving awful

I am awful at CoD, but if I can absolutely torture myself through it for a couple days it turns me into a killing machine in BF. Relative to my average performance, anyway

e Redacted isn't great overall, but I love all the little back hallways you can generally sneak through. Even in a big server there's usually a route that a couple recons can use to sneak behind enemy lines and drop spawn beacons.

The noise should just be a small 'blip' for squadmates, but instead it plays the entire cacophonic callout every time. When I'm chopper passenger I spot all match long for the pilot, and I feel kinda bad for spamming but there's nothing I can do about it.
