I would like to know as well. I had a 1 almost every game except once where there was a 2 next to my name. Some players didn't have any.

Two most popular threads

1. Does anyone still play/play online?

2. Should I buy this game (or is it worth buying)?

Gold Rush:

It's a 'Push' type of game mode. It starts with the Attacking and Defending team each with a base.

The Defending team has two Gold Crates very close to their spawn point, they must defend the Attacking team from planting a charge on each crate (which the Defending team can defuse once planted), or destroy each crate with a lot of bullets and/or explosives. This game mode has unlimited respawns.

You may want to fix this part. The respawns are unlimited on the defence.  The offence has that blue bar which drops for each spawn.  If they destroy a gold crate they get more respawn life (more blue bar.)  If not, the defenders win by wiping out their respawns (ie: successful defence.)

If I'm not mistaken, if the blue bar runs out, does the offending team not lose?

Is it all team based or can you be on your own?
I don't like playing in teams when people take it really serious and order me around and I don't like letting a team down and people having a go at me because i'm no good.
I'd much rather play on my own, is that possible in any game modes?
Thanks!

Welcome to Battlefield, everything is team or squad based.

I suggest you give the Campaign a run through first so you know what to do and get a grip on the gameplay.

Voice of experience here, Mark- Don't ever worry too much about people b.itching at you. Not in video games or anything else in life, really. People have much less criteria than you think, and will complain about other people's mistakes to cover up their own. If you do make a mistake in a game, try and make up for it later in the same game (just like in pro sports), that's about it.

Those numbers represent your veteran rank.  I'm going to assume that you added three battlefield games to the veteran site for the FaF promotion.

I didn't add anything. I noticed last night after I was finally able to log on that all my matches had a 1 next to my tag during every match. Whereas yesterday I had a 2 once and the rest were 1's. I'm confused.

Just read on the ea forums that they have problems with the connectivity:

We have been working on resolving some intermittent connectivity issues today (6/25/08) for Xbox 360 users. You may continue to have some connection issues this afternoon as we work on making online service as robust as possible.

Thank you for your patience,
MetroJack

To bad that they don't post an info conspicuously on their website so we don't have to spend hours to find this info.

Anyone know how many points each award is? Because I just finished a game where I got 968 points and got a crapload of awards, and I only had 30 kills. I remember getting two patches and I was up 300 points from where I left off with kill points. Anyone know?

Are you KIDDING ME? ONLY ONE GAME MODE IN MULTI PLAYER! B-R-U-T-A-L! Was  going to get this game today but learning this has changed my mind. Having various mutiplayer mods is a MUST HAVE. Good example is COD4!

Thumbs down....

2. Game Modes and Matchmaking

In Battlefield: Bad Company Multiplayer, there are 2 game modes: Conquest and Gold Rush.

Gold Rush:

It's a 'Push' type of game mode. It starts with the Attacking and Defending team each with a base.

The Defending team has two Gold Crates very close to their spawn point, they must defend the Attacking team from planting a charge on each crate (which the Defending team can defuse once planted), or destroy each crate with a lot of bullets and/or explosives. This game mode has unlimited respawns.

Conquest:

Included as DLC (Downloadable content) due to VERY high demand to be included in the game as a free download for both PS3 and Xbox 360, post-release.

In Conquest, the aim is to reduce the opposing team's tickets to zero. Killing an enemy soldier depletes one ticket per kill against the opposing team, as does capturing control points (flags) located on the map, depending on how many flags you have captured.

To get into a game, you can go to the Multiplayer menu and it will give you a few options to get into a game.

• From Quick Match, you can get in a match by yourself quickly, ranked or unranked as choices.
• From Custom Match, you can get in a match by choosing a preferred map, ranked or unranked, or best of all, create a squad with your friends.

While I understand your frustration, please understand that it's hard to implement game modes into a sandbox shooter like BF. Gold Rush is a fantastic progressive game mode that fits the game very well.

Dude, that is how all the Battlefield games are. Most, if not all, have only 2 game types. But they are still the most popular multiplayer shooters of this generation and last.

Besides, they are adding Conquest in a few weeks.

How many game modes did COD4 have really? It's a great game, GOTY, one of almost everybody's all time favs, but let's admit it: it had S&D, and various versions of spray 'n pray. Did it really have so many more objective- oriented multiplayer game modes?
