That's the one, had some good battles on it yestaday with 800 tickets, game lasted about 50 minutes and it was full.

During the night, the server seems to stay empty. I guess no one likes the map much.

I love Wake as a general map, but it is better on PC with a few more players...my other issue the the F35 and flankers aren't balanced..or weren't before the patch so air combat was always dominated by the RU...

I'll have to spend a better amount of time on there before I judge...but generally I dislike 24/7 xyz map servers and it gets a little boring even when it is a good map.

Also +1 Larry.

I don't understand why people like 50-100+ minute matches of the same map and gametype all day.

I think 20 min matches of rotating maps and gametypes are 5x more fun and fresh but these are less and less common.

It's like buying the full game and playing 1/20th of it... Literally...

I tried playing with the new patch last night on a server offering Team Deathmatch and Conquest. It was a lot of fun, actually. I got set up on a rooftop on Operation Firestorm CQ with the RPK-74M and put hell down on the enemies trying to capture B. The Bipod on the RPK is something I like a lot. I'd like to get the extended magazines for it, just for the completely impossible 200 rounds in a single mag.

I don't wanna play a 100+ min match all day everyday. but every now and again a massive metro killfest game is good fun.

In the coming weeks, we will be gradually rolling out a new feature in the Server Browser on Battlelog: the Live Scoreboard.

About damn time. One of my biggest complaints with this game (or BC2) was joining games that were pretty much over and worse still, getting put on the losing team. Looks like this will be pc only though.

Anyone know of a good 360 Metro server that has a high ticket count? I was just in one that had a 1000 tickets but got banned. "No admin" abuse my ass.

In metro/caspian boarder server I was getting TK'd. Person comes at you with a car and then jumps out at the last second. So I get in the heli, kicked. Joined the server again, got into the heli, kicked/banned.

Tanks aren't too bad on servers that don't have many players, I play quite often on an 8v8 server on Caspian. Its great for racking up huge amounts of points.

Don't think they should have nerfed the repair tool, its useless now! overheats before you can get a complete repair done!

I got C4'ed in a tank, it no longer shows up 'Hold 'R' To Pick up' is that happening for everyone else as well?

It's good that they nerfed it. Was too easy to just constantly repair a vehicle and pretty much nullify any damage it takes. I don't completely agree with the tank nerf but repair tool adjustments are good IMO.

For sure!! but in combination with the tank nerf, its terrible!! Would have been good if they just nerfed the RT and not the tank haha.

5 flag Wake is getting boring, alot of people don't play the objectives. I've mainly got the large maps in the rotation now.

My server keeps changing though as my friend keeps messing with the server settings.

Ok so something that annoys me, there is this guy on a specific server, who ALWAYS plays on the RU team for Operation Firestorm he uses the attack heli, sits behind the large mountain obscuring the RU base, and uses guided missiles to take out tanks from above with 1 hit kills.

Any time gets hit, he lands, repairs and does it all over again, to the point of annoying.. It requires little to no skill, and if I see him on I ALWAYS get in mobile AA and hide as close to the mountain as possible and when he pops over it I take him out over and over, you guys have any other good suggestion on how else to take him out from the ground or tactics?

Use stingers? Get a squad of people with stingers and taking him/her down will be no problem.

      The only reason I want to know where you from is because if you are not from the U.K, then why should you care what we in the U.K do or don't do? Racist I am not, I am fed up with the amount coming over here and feel they can come over here and think we need to support them. Do you know how much it costs this country to support these people coming over here? Even when we give them a place to live it is not good enough. We had a barge that was being used to house immigrants, oh but that was not good enough. A mate said to me at the time, when he was homeless, he would have been happy to live on the barge, instead of ending up sleeping on a bench on the beach. I am not scared to say what my family heritage is, unlike you who is scared to say where they are from or where they live. Father side U.S, mother side Wales, still have family living in the U.S. A mate who sadly died a few years ago, had a load of people from different races recording in his studio, I got on with all of them. Skin colour don't bother me, where they are from don't bother me. Religion don't bother me as long as they don't push it onto me and it is not crazy stuff. I am not religious. But if you are not living in the U.K, then why should you care if we are in the E.U or not? This the problem, too many people poking their noses into where it don't belong. But you believe what you believe, if you think I am racist, then be it, I really do not care. Just grow a pair

      If he hasn't been able to figure that out, then why is he obsessed with tariffs? Because that's one of the most prominent tools to level the playing field when you have high cost of labor.
    • Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft released the newest preview update (C-release) under KB5095093. Alongside those, Microsoft also released new dynamic updates. For those who may not know, dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery process in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, which are also called Safe OS updates. The dynamic updates also affect the Setup file binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11. The company writes: "KB5095186: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, version 26H1: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.28000.2335. KB5102558: Setup Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to Windows setup binaries or any files that setup uses for feature updates in Windows 11, version 24H2 and Windows 11, version 25H2. KB5095615: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.26100.8737." Microsoft notes that both the Recovery and Setup updates will be downloaded and installed automatically via the Windows Update channel.
