Everything Removed, proved to be fake.. sorry guys :)

UPDATE #2

During the last few days there was quite some intense trouble going on because of an allged leaked version of BF2. Many many users got confused by so called "proofs". They relied on the community websites doing their job according to the responsibility they have for their readers and perform serious investigations prior to posting news. Sincs we have been struck by heavy amounts of requests (see i. e. our forums) we went to EA and asked for details. In a personal talk with EA we have been informed about the tremendeous trouble that was caused by this roumor. Remedies of the HL2-leak resurfaced (we covered this earlier). EA and Dice went to any lengthes to verify each and every single "proof" going around on the internet. Not a single "proof" stood up to its name and all of them have been discharged as (sometimes very poorly crafted) fakes and mockups. Despite all efforts undertaken to contain the rumors it kept on floating around. Every minute new requests about the leak flooded the support's email accounts. After many hours of investigation it was eventually confirmed that all the trouble and work and the continously reappearing rumors are all to the credit of one single website publishing those "proofs". Of course we wanted to know whoom to thank for all this mess. This is the answer we got:

To the operators of BF2.net,

DICE and EA wish to convey to you our profound disappointment in the recent handling by your site of "news" of an alleged leak of our title, Battlefield 2. Aside from the fact that the end result of this coverage was that your news site was "hoaxed" by a member of the community, we don't believe that coverage of this nature reflects well on BF2.net as a responsible partner of EA and DICE. At this time we would like to let your team know that we will be taking these sort of occurrences into account as we determine which outlets to grant exclusive interviews and exclusive content to going forward. The Battlefield 2 Team Looks like we all have to thank one single website for all the trouble, stress and work which wanted to gain high profile by prematurely posting news. The this website's editorial office did nothing to verify their "proofs". Instead of asking EA/Dice they went running around showing their wonderball heating the temper. The success? Much ado 'bout nothing. A lot of work, anger and a damage not to be estimated for the whole community. Not only that EA and Dice got a brief impression of how low it can get in terms of standards for doing coverage with some "community sites", no, it also looks like all this was done intentionally and despite knowing better. We should not be too surprised if EA and Dice would be even more sparse and more carefull with informations and preferably give them to established mediarepresentations (printing press, tv...) instead of to the web-community, who preferes to present itself by such selected examples of professional coverage. We would like to thank for this special duty this "First german Battlefield 2 Community" did to all the fans and the Battlefield Community in general. Many thanks to Spawn, and Whoo, and Dark Neo, and all the others over at Glevel-Network. Good work!

1st of april.. hmmmm

if this is true, then the bf2 demo is over 2gb to download! lol, something smells mighty fishy here :yes:

you've also done a really poor job of the screenshot, your photoshop skills are poor: check out the lines and blurring around the soldier in the middle and the different resolution of the first person view :rolleyes:

Yeah - you might not have done anything mate, but that top picture couldn't be any more a Photoshop jobbie if it tried! Hahaha...

those windmills don't look liek something that would be in a game based on modern day military.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By cleverclogs · Posted

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.
