Well, just like COD4, I consider the BFBC MP a good "go-to" game when there's nothing else to play and I have 30 mins of free time.

Yeah I pretty much fall into that category too. Although it will probably take me a while before I start missing / want to play again :laugh:

I borrowed BF off my friend, played about half of the campaign and quit.

Just couldn't get into it :(

that was the problem right there. i personally only played about 30 minutes of the single player, but clocked in 40+ hrs on the multiplayer

I have played every BF game since 1942 came out (except 2142...pos) and i play BFBC all the fuggin time!!

The four maps do get tiresome but i happen to love Gold Rush. Glad to hear about FOUR new maps, was also wondering when they were coming but was under the impression it was only 2 (lazy research!)

Strike (BF2) was one of the best BF maps ever created. Jalalabad or whatever was pretty good too imo.

The problem is in fact, there is not a lot of people playing this anymore cause of the lacking MP and like Munky said it will be hard to turn fans back to it with such stronger titles coming out these upcoming seasons

Really? I thought it might have some steam left in it. I used to play BFMC quite a lot and that was pretty popular even after a year on XBL.

Ah well, all good things come to an end etc etc.

I often see a lot of reoccurring players like at least 3 or 4 on either side i recognize days apart so i mean, the population can't be too large i assume? Or maybe they are addicts like me? I think players will come back when the new maps are released.....hope so.

If there aren't that many players left on, I hope as well players start coming back.

I'm sure Munky remembers this, there was one point when him and I were playing Conquest, and for like 5 or 6 rounds, it was 6 on 1. Never had it so easy to win rounds LOL.

Haha that was classic. I remember by the 6th round or so we were totally taking advantage and just messing around. Then the server filled up all of a sudden and we had our ass kicked for a few minutes before we adjusted back to "serious" playing mode :p

Good times :yes:

Personaly, im a hard core pc gamers, all my fps's have have been on the pc (well apart from golden eye, but that game is in a class of its own)

So when i got a ps3, i was a little skeptical of getting a fps game, but i must say im very happy with bad company. Granted i would prefer using a mouse and keyboard for faster reactions and more precision, but i survive :)

Im still working on my "close quarters" fighting, but give me a sniper rifle and some nice open spaces with places to hide and im happy :)

The single player was cool, i loved the story and characters, though they weren't much use in a fire fight, or maybe they just couldnt keep up :)

I keep going back to the multiplayer, its alot of fun (when the servers aren't laggy) I prefer playing Oasis or the Harvest one on conquest (as they are good sniper maps)

anyway, im up for playing on the ps3 if anyone's interested :)

I had no problems in MP with groups, except one round it was 8-2, but I encountered that same problem at 2am when the game was first released. Just left and found another one.

Anyone down for playing tonight? I plan on hopping on around 7-8pm EST. I think one or two more games and I'll hit 24, so hitting 25 tonight would be awesome.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By ExecutiveFunction404 · Posted

      This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.

      The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
