I've not received it yet, but I wouldn't mind telling them what I think about the game :p

edit: wait, why are MGS conducting the survey for a game made by EA/DICE :huh:

Believe me, I told them what I thought about it!

You are receiving this message because you are part of the MGS Beta program.

This is the part I don't get. :huh:

This couldnt have been for the beta. The end of survey asked alot of questions about Conquest.

Microsoft is planning on buying DICE, making it a 1. party developer.

Yes going to go with Massiveterra and have to doubt you. :p Turns out after looking through some old emails, and signing into my account at the MS Connect site, I signed up for some MGS Beta Program awhile back.

I completely forgot that I did it. This is the first time I've gotten any sort of communication from MGS.

Does Anybody have a spare that they dont need, getting the unlock for the Sniper rifle is basing my decision on getting the game, as the rest of the 5 for 5 are easily gettable to a degree.

so far what iv played while borrowing it from a friend is its pretty cool.

Pretty much everyone here does not have the sniper rifle unlock, in fact I do not know of 1 person who does have it. Having that unlocked though should not be the decision maker in getting the game though :) You mention you have played it a little so you know what it's like, buy it, you won't regret it :)

I had a funny team kill the other night. I was stuck in a house, only way out easily was a door so I went to knife it and for some damn, unexplained reason, a teammate was right behind me and jumped in front. BAM! Knifed him and the door! I couldn't stop laughing.

As far as the MP compared to CoD4, BF is hands-down more fun. I was really high on CoD4 when it came out and I loved it but as time went on and BF came out, I found the MP so much more fun and exciting on BF. I went and tried CoD4 MP the other day to see if I could get back into it. 15 minutes later I was done and since I beat the SP, I'll be trading it in. I'm not sure I can even explain why that is. It just didn't feel right at all. BF is a game you can join in at any time and have fun with. If you aren't leveled up on CoD4, forget it.

It will be released as either part of paid DLC or for free in a foreseeable future, that's what they said.

Well that's good to know (Y) As long as the DLC isn't for the gun alone, then that'll be ok. They should bundle it with new maps or game modes ala GRAW2 style.

I finally unlocked the Uzi last night after trying for ages to get in a match on the Demo. All I have left is the sniper obviously, but I won't even use it tbh, I just want it for completion sake.

Finally, have the house to myself for an entire week - late night gaming :woot:

Anyone playing tonight?

Think my guild will be raiding old content tonight, so I may all of a sudden loose my internet right when we start, and appear on x360. If not I'll be on at some point.

If I went back to playing like I did, I could easily do that :p But I'm that bored of the game I can't play for long sessions anymore.

I've ordering chinese takeaway and will maybe watch a tv/movie, then I'll be back on. So probably around 10. Maybe earlier.

So I finished the Demo to earn the Uzi, plenty of games going on last night.

@Sethos and Munky, I remember playing a week ago or so, and a question came up about the physics engine used, it is indeed Havok. It says so in the trademark screen.

Also, is it true that if you play the SP on Hard, the acheivements do not stack, and you dont get normal difficulty acheivements at same time?

That is correct the achievements do not stack, which is why they have seperate achievements for each level. The gold/weapon finding is different, in that you can unluck the achievement in any level, you but in order to gain the found them all achievement you have to replay each level to find the missing ones. Handily when you finish the game, there is a list of levels you can replay with a list of what you missed 3 gold 2 weapons etc ...

Yeah most games have seperate achievements per level for each difficulty, but alot of them stack.

Oh Well.

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.

      Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
