I agree regarding keyboard and mouse. Coming from PCgaming onto console gaming it takes a long time to get used to not having it, though I know you can get a keyboard and mouse for console. But keyboard and mouse offer so much more control. Sooo much better.

Oh, I know itā¦Iām a convert to the ways of Keyboard and mouseā¦I use controllers for action games and rpgs now. Keyboard and mouse are for FPS games.

I agree the reaction times are much better when using a nicely setup Kebroyd and mouse for FPS. Plus you can map your keys to the plethora of different guns ammoās and actions. I donāt dare go online and play FPS now as my reactions are shot to buggery and I donāt wish to keep getting how do they say āownedā by 8 year olds not sure thatās correct but close. To cries of noob and those are just the polite comments. Nope itās SODOKU all the way now on my 3DS.

Does anyone notice what I believe are microdetails in BC2? Like, the rustle of a uniform when an enemy merely changes his direction; the flick when they switch to alternative fire like 40 mm; when they swap firearms; when they reload; the arm movement and āuhhā sound when they throw a motion sensor, and the impact of the motion sensor hitting the ground, wall or something else. And many other sound cues that I canāt identify and almost make me think my mind plays tricks on me, but when I go with my instinct, it turns out thereās an enemy there.
I was once playing Conquest on Panama Canal, and I was at Alpha when I saw a UAV go up, so I ran to Charlie, headed up the outer staircase, and as I was half-way up, I heard the rustle of an enemyās uniform that was sitting on the roof to the right of the entrance. So I decided to run up to the top and shoot the enemy at the UAV station from the inside and then run out, do a sharp turn and shoot the other enemy. I killed him before he was able to react. And he saw it coming a split second before he died, ha. If I didnāt hear him and decided to run out and try to knife the UAV guy, which is quite tempting when someone is using that pesky mini helicopter and are vulnerable like that, I probably would have been shot and killed in the back before I could reach him.
People are practically deaf in this game. Footsteps are LOUD, yet I can run up to enemies and knife them in the back. I do this often to snipers that are camping up on the hills where thereās nothing but birds chirping.
Even more mind-boggling are those shoutouts or screams enemies make when their teammates are killed that seemingly nobody hears. I came across a thread on r/badcompany2 not long ago where someone asked how to turn them off O.O Theyāre dead giveaways, I donāt get itā¦
There was this one time when I killed an enemy on top of the building at Delta on Panama Canal in Conquest and I heard something like āOH-OH, SHIT!ā. So I went down to the second floor and checked the room near the staircase to the roof, but he wasnāt there even though I could swear he was. So I checked the bigger room at the back that leads to the outer staircase towards the construction towers, but he wasnāt there either. So then it hit me, he was sitting on the metal roof to the right of the staircase leading up to the top of the building. So I ran up, jumped over the edge and swooped right down knifing him in the face.
Sometimes it can take me minutes to find them, but itās almost guaranteed thereās someone there. There have only been two times where I wasnāt able to find them and gave up. Once, an enemy was sitting on top of the double-stacked containers near Alpha on Panama Canal, which is quite high up and people very rarely sit there.

Yeah I was going through my back catalog of games, and saw it on thereā¦aparently I have it on bothā¦I tried playing but no one was onlineā¦Iām assuming I need to find better serversā¦but I only had a limited amount of time to jump in to play last night.
So long answer short, I will play it on Steam lol, but it isnāt my primary game, Iāll play it if I see you online
Lol, I was going to play when I saw you online. I tried to play earlier today, but the number of players was worse on PC. Most of the matches were hardcore, too, which I hate playing. Iām seriously considering Xbox now and snagging one on the used market.
Did you use the search button under the filter options in the server browser? If not, it would be blank.

I did a cursory lookā¦but only found two serversā¦ and neither had any players in them. Iām sure there are some dedicated servers with people playingā¦
Do you have BC2 on Xbox? I have one now.
Iām pretty sure I doā¦ Iāll check when I get home
Use your imagination, not your graphics card. 
The game I used to play was go online, do your stuff, and get offline with your wallet intact as it generally cost $4 to $11 per hour depending on your connection and service.

I thought Craigās list got a little bright for Grues since law enforcement came down on them for certain personals.
