Battlefield Bad Company 2 Stats Site

Not sure how many exist but this is the first I’ve found. Check it out and explore, it has achievements and more stats than the in-game stats. Check it out Stats-O-Matic (Now StatsVerse)! Also ran into the first clear hack in the game, Hoodlum420 and reported the asshat.
4/16: The change to StatsVerse isn’t too great since stats aren’t updating now…says 2 minutes and never updates.
Battlefield Bad Company 2 Patch 2

The second BFBC2 patch has hit and it’s glorious, so far. I say that because EA/DICE seems to have a way of breaking something, somewhere, with patches much like the increased issues with the browser after the first patch hit. With that said, most of the issues they added with the browser seems to have been fixed. I played quite a few hours since the patch and I think I’ve had one crash to desktop (CTD) and I believe that was on a server loading and not from just clicking on the browser.
I’d still like to see some major improvements to the browser still. My biggest complaint is showing if a server is hard core. I don’t have an issue with hard core but 3 weeks in, I’d rather learn the maps, rather than hit a random server and find that as the option. I know I can click the arrow and look but it’d be 100x easier just to show it or choose it. I would really rather them just show more options on the right to include a < ping, > # of players, HC, and TK. I’m also fine with team kills as an option, since I played a large portion of BF2 and BF2142 with it on, but it’s nice to get use to the game and maps before jumping into them.
The game continues to be fun and I’d say my favorite maps are White Pass, Valparaiso, Nelson Bay and the Vietnam-like map that I can’t place at the moment, I think it’s Laguna Presa.
Also, if you have the previous games (including console games), be sure to swing by the Battlefield Veterans site to add your games. I believe it’s 2 games to 1 rank in BC2. I’m at 7 so far and waiting to see what happens with my BFV and the 2 1942 expansion packs but the site’s been down for a week now… blah!

This is great. Hmmm, wonder what game they’re talking about with spam nading?
Battlefield Bad Company 2 Video

I had forgotten I recorded this until I was syncing backups and found the FRAPS video. So I decided to screw around with it a bit and upload it, a really minimal effort and I’ve really not done a lot of videos or editing other than a few quick Windows Movie Maker vids but all in all, it only took about an hour to do this. Since it defaulted to 16:9 and I have a 16:10 display, it shows a bit of space on the sides, need to figure that out when I create the next.
I just happen to be listening to the song when I was watching and thought it fit well. Turned out a few sequences turned out quite well too.
