use alot of C4
and i mean ALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOT of C4

Game-ur4980d ago

The most annoying for me is:

-Medics walking over their teammate's body without reviving them

-Engineers hiding behind a damaged tank and not fixing it

-Begging assault class for ammo and getting ignored

-Get called a noob by someone who ends up in the bottom of the score list

-Hearing your teammate's breath thru the mice, who doesn't talk the whole game.

-My teammate stealing my tank as I fix it, and runs straight over an anti-tank mine

vickers5004980d ago

-Seeing a team mate standing right next to a crate with an explosive charge going off, not even attempting to defuse it and is only going for kills, while I sacrifice myself like 5 times trying to defuse it and revive my fellow team mates around me, only to have them go lone wolf and not give a sh*t about the objective.

visualb4980d ago

more like -

- People ignoring Mine warnings and driving stupidly

- people who accidentally destroy M-COM buildings because they misuse explosives

- ignorant medics engineers and ammo suppliers

- retarded scouts that DON'T SPOT!! ="$#!*$ "#?*GODF

- team mates that ALL PICK SCOUT....pu$$ies

@Game-ur & vickers500 & visualb

i know what yall mean, same shit happens to me, i try to do my best as a medic or any other class, i hate being a sniper so i try to avoid that class as much as possible. i usually play hardcore so i'm gonna add asshole teammates that go around killing their own teammates to your list.

But that doesn't really mess up the gameplay, does it?

dirthurts4980d ago

Some people are just jerks.

PR0X14980d ago

That camp after they need to move up. is the biggest pos in BFBC2.

DoucheVader4979d ago

You know I use C4 all the time, mostly on the ATV. Great way to buzz in and take down the objective. I only use C4 on the UAV when I need an Ace in the hole. You still need 3 people to take down an objective with C4+UAV.

@GAME-UR - It is nearly impossible to see a friendly who is down after a few seconds. I try to revive people all the time and they just disappear too quickly. On MAG it is very easy to see a downed friendly. If they are on your squad you can see where they are through solid items (like walls). If they are on the same team they will still be highlighted when you see them. "Hearing your teammate's breath thru the mice, who doesn't talk the whole game." OMG that is the freaking worst. Mouth breathers with mics who never talk!

frostypants4979d ago (Edited 4979d ago )

I stand in front of camping snipers all the time, especially when they're scoping out a flag point and making no effort to take it.

I then mark them with a smoke grenade to attract enemy attention.

They're the a**holes, not me.

isn't that pleasant. all shapes & sizes:P

Terarmzar4980d ago

i hate medics who just sit in one spot waiting for people, and what makes it worse is there guns don't have to reload as often so they just keep on shooting

spektical4980d ago

i know its legit.. but god i hate great choppers.. ther just about impossible to bring down

i wished DICE made stronger AA guns, or maybe made a laser of sorts to target the choppers.

Rauland4980d ago

They made the tracer darts go faster and now everybody uses the blackhawks as suicide bombers.

IaMs124980d ago

I love shooting down choppers with the homing missile launcher, its actually quite easy just need lead the chopper then BAM easy points! :)

genocidegeneral2154980d ago

There are no "thoughtful" ads in video games, EA

I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.

But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.

Hofstaderman12d ago

EA can thoughtfully eff themselves.

Makersbreath212d ago

EA coming back for the crown of being perceived as the worst company in gaming.

Chocoburger11d ago (Edited 11d ago )

One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.

Report: Sexual Misconduct Investigation Conducted at EA, Suspects Named and What They Did Revealed

EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.

isarai18d ago

Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.

Cacabunga17d ago

I wonder if it will be censored with some in game ads.

MrBaskerville15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

Microsoft did, Phil Spencer played a minor part. He instigated the buyout that led to Kotick escaping all his controversies while getting a golden handshake.

Someone on Twitter calculated that the people hired in Tango and Arkane Austin could get a decent salary for roughly 17 years for the money Kotick was paid.

InUrFoxHole14d ago

Yeah some thing tells me Kotics $ was already guaranteed before MS made the deal. As for the studios... Let's be honest here... none of those studios made system sellers.

XiNatsuDragnel17d ago (Edited 17d ago )

EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.

MrBaskerville15d ago

Then they shutdown Codemasters and studio behind Jedi Survivor.

Atleast they could hardly do much damage that EA hadn't allready done. EA has shut down most of their studios by now.

ravens5217d ago

What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.

Extermin8or3_17d ago

I mean part of the issue is that things transpired outside of work....

MrBaskerville15d ago

That's the thing he mentioned about not being a creep at all.

KwietStorm_BLM17d ago

You think deviants care where they are? Work sometimes makes it an even better situation for them because they can abuse their power.

mudakoshaka17d ago

Nerds think they are Gods when they are making video games.

NotoriousWhiz17d ago (Edited 17d ago )

"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."

Yep, EA is disgusting.

Extermin8or3_17d ago

I mean the fact stuff happened outside of work puts EA in quite a difficult position legally. These women don't seem to have reported the matter to the police which kinda ties EA's hands on what they can do. If they don't file reports of the crimes then yeah from EA's perspective it is stuff that happened outside of work. The only exception is the guy that apparently referenced things in the slack channel for work, spending on what he said proving it may be very hard and he may well be able to get away with plausible deniability. I don't like EA and I think these people need to be dismissed but without any legal action being taken, EA can't really do much without risk of being sued themselves for unfair dismissal etc.

Well, anything to make those shareholders happy, I guess. They're all that matters in this industry nowadays.

badboyz0921d ago (Edited 21d ago )

EA stocks haven't been profitable in over 5yrs. They better hope Take-two don't get the FIFA license lol.
