I'll check me settings and PM you with em if you cant get it to fly

Thanks...think I sorted it last night.

it seemed to be linking the xboxlive traffic on port 3074 with a Denial of Service attack...even though i had the port open in the settings.

Third google search mentioned that the latest firmware had this bug in it, suggested I drop back a few levels of firmware ....seems to have fixed it, might go and splash out on MW2 or BC2 this weekend.

I play this on the PS3. This p!sses on COD IMO. Online is great, but you have to stick with it untill you get decent weapons. I started off scoring <100 per game, now I can do anywhere between 3-6k per game.

I got this for PC - its gash, can't connect to the servers, and it runs quite slow even on my monster gaming laptop (that runs MW2 very slickly).

In fact, both MW2 and BC2 have disappointed on PC... think i'm going to switch to be a console gamer.

Would you say it was better than MW2 or just different?

Very diff. I like it, but online there is a lot to concentrate on..! And there are a lot of snipers who seem to have the ability to shoot you anywhere at any time!

Yeah, got alot to think about when your online. Seem that if your out in the open for even 1 second your getting shot at. Frustrating enough when it happens to you. But bloody fantastic when you get a head shot from the other side of the map on a moving target :D !

One way to solve that problem.
Don't be a mong with more money than intelligence - save you the cost of buying a "monster gaming laptop" AND you'll understand how to sort those nasty little problems caused by your own stupidity :D

Exactly what I did. Got sick of trying to keep up with tech to play the latest games on my PC. Went and got my Xbox and now never touch my PC. Should have done it ages ago.

I paid just over four hundred for my PC from OverClockers. It's never had any problems running anything, and the outlay above the price of a console has probably been mitigated by the cheaper price of PC games compared to console games.

My mouse has developed lag when playing the game on Vista 64bit have down loaded latest drivers for the mouse Logitech G3 laser. Any tips on how to speed it up? Have tried the options in the game but still the lag occurs.

I would have to agree. My PC, which is a self build but a good 3-4 years since I have done anything to it, will run BFBC2 with ease and any other game I want to play really.

Another downside is that consoles are great when they are first released but very quickly become dated. It won't be that long (infact it probably isn't far off now) until 'cheap' PC's are comparable or even surpass the 360 / PS3 is gaming capability.

The other major plus factor for a PC is that mouse+keyboard beats a console controller every time for FPS games.

I normally play computer strategy games, Rome Total war etc, if i play at all, but my kids all play MW2, so i am quite into that, though only average, my eldest got 94 kills for 6 the other day!!!!! i am happy to break even.

However they have now got Bad Coy and they are telling me to play it instead as they reckon i am better suited to it as i play MW2 too tactically, as in i hide and hope no-one can find me, so i might give it ago whilst wife of is at work over leave.........................but hopefully weather will be nice and i'll be oot on the bike.

2 of my lads reckon BC2 is best, the other thinks MW2 is.

**Sympathetic_Reaction** · 02-04-2010, 10:33

I'm meant to be doing DIY this weekend...so will be popping out and probably get BC2..;)

**Schleswig-Holstein** · 08-04-2010, 14:04

It seems a lot more difficult than MW2 (PS3) , but I like being able to fanny around in boats/vehicles.

My kill/death ratio is lots, lots lower in BC2 than MW2
