The DMRs are behind the only building you're capable of going into at the start of the level. They're laying down behind that building. The weapons container looks like it fell down. There is no door going to this area, you just have to walk behind the building.

ah ok..

My game arrived yesterday and I jumped into multiplayer ? it's really really bad. Am I missing something or is every level a sniper level? I've yet to be in a game where there's an assault rifle or something. If it's all single shot guns at least let me plug in a kb/mouse so I'm not acting retarded trying to snipe with a controller. =\

Or are assault rifles going to be some sort of paid-addon down the track?

You must not have played many games. It's the voting system that's flawed, as well as the gametype lists (or whatever they're called).

Sounds like you got stuck in a lot of SWAT and sniper gametypes.

That's... somewhat reassuring but yeah, I've yet to encounter a non-sniper or to be honest any game where the loadout isn't a single shot gun and pistol - I just want games like Halo 3 where they were tons of different guns!

Yeah, there are gametypes like that, but unfortunately the idiots that play the game make you play SWAT for seemingly all day. I recommend trying the invasion game type in that case, or possibly big team battle (but you can still get stuck with SWAT in those, it's just less likely than the small slayer list).

Good news to ya'll hating on SWAT. It's got it's on Playlist come the October update. Bungie's weekly update describe all of the changes. I listed 'em below for those to lazy to click and read.

Playlist Changes

SWAT Playlist added (SWAT removed from Big Team Battle and Team Slayer)

Campaign Matchmaking (live on 10/15 – You will be required to have earned the Grade “Corporal” to enter this Playlist)

Team Slayer rebalanced to highlight default Slayer game variants and include new offerings

Classic Slayer removed

Removed “Pro” game variants from the Arena Playlist

Removed Boardwalk from Arena Team Doubles Playlist

Added “Return to Battlefield” volume to Space on Zealot in the Arena Playlist

Game Variants Additions

King of the Hill (multiple Playlists, including Arena*)

Rocket Race

Juggernaut (Rumble Pit Playlist)

*King of the Hill not included in Arena

General Housekeeping

Sudden Death will be added to all Assault game variants, including Invasion

Team Objective will now feature the map Powerhouse

Replacing Drop Shield with Evade for King of the Hill, Territories, and Oddball

Replacing Hologram with Evade in Oddball, Capture the Flag, Assault, and Stockpile

Replacing the Scorpion on Hemorrhage with Wraiths (Hemorrhage Heavies variant, TBD)

"Added “Return to Battlefield” volume to Space on Zealot in the Arena Playlist"

For those who aren't aware, a popular strategy (especially doubles) is to camp up high. You can watch all three lifts and just focus fire (plenty of cover up there if you are getting shot) the enemy as they come up. Glad to see they came up with a solution to this.

And it seems Bungie purposely inadvertently announced/confirmed DLC for Reach.

10 achievements worth 250GS.

Juggernaut should be fun.. but they should really fix the betrayal thing. I think if it's more than one betrayal THEN the victim should have a say whether to boot or not. I was in a FFSF (Fire Fight Sniperfight) game.. everyone was playing well.. and dude decides to jump right into my line of fire .. then I got kicked.. REALLY.. did I PURPOSELY DO THAT when it's mid game? ****ers.

In a previous update they addressed this. The way it is now is that it takes into account all the damage you've done to teammates whether you killed them or not. So it can only take one betrayal to give them the option if you've been shooting or otherwise dealing damage to your teammates. Their solution: "Stop shooting your teammates."

Well it doesn't help when you are sniping and they walk right into the line of fire. Especially with Sniper shots it kills them with only one shot.. heh. Not sure if I like that at all.

Yeah, that really annoys me. I saw someone do it to someone else and shortly after they just disappeared.

I take people more seriously when they talk in bold

Anyway, started solo legendary a few days ago, did the first 3 levels so far, not too bad I guess. I'm not looking forward to the later levels though... I didn't realize how worthless the AI really was until I was all alone!

I started with the last one, and honestly, I think the last level really isn't bad at all. The final bit is actually one of the easiest portions of the game on Legendary, IMO. I'm not done yet, though. It'll take me a while because I don't have a ton of time.

I hear Exodus is the hardest level on Legendary. I'm saving that one for last.

      This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time by Sayan Sen Recently we covered a really good deal on an AMD RX 9070 three-fan model that's available at slightly above its MSRP. If you are looking for a GPU for 1440p gaming that's around the performance of the Nvidia RTX 5070 you should most definitely check it out. Let's say that you are looking for a monitor to pair that up with too. The Samsung 49" G9 curved QD-OLED superultrawide is a good option that can provide an immersive experience. However despite being a very good deal currently (at $855), it may seem unaffordable to you, or you may simply not want to spend as much on a monitor. In that case Dell's S2725QS can be a very good option as it's on sale at the moment for its lowest price in over six months (purchase link under the specs table down below). The big highlight of the Dell S2725QS is its 27-inch IPS panel with a 3840 x 2160 (4K UHD) resolution, offering a high pixel density that can make text appear sharper while also providing plenty of screen space for productivity and media consumption. The display supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz through both HDMI and DisplayPort, making it suitable not only for everyday desktop use but also for smoother gaming and scrolling. AMD FreeSync Premium support is included as well, helping reduce screen tearing during gaming sessions. The screen has fairly good brightness and color accuracy so you can use it for general work purpose, though photo/video editing is probably not going to be the best match for this. The technical specs of the Dell S2725QS are given in the table below: Specification Value Viewable Screen Size 27 in (68.58 cm) Screen Mode 4K UHD Maximum Resolution 3840 × 2160 Maximum Preset Resolution 3840 × 2160 @ 120 Hz Standard Refresh Rate 120 Hz Panel Technology In-plane Switching (IPS) Backlight Technology LED Edgelight System Pixel Density 163 PPI Response Time 8 ms GTG, 5 ms GTG, 4 ms GTG Horizontal Viewing Angle 178° Vertical Viewing Angle 178° Brightness 350 cd/m² (nits) Native Contrast Ratio 1500:1 Color Support 1.07 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% sRGB (CIE 1931) Adaptive Sync AMD FreeSync Premium HDCP Support Yes Mount Type Panel Mount VESA Mount 100 × 100 mm Maximum Height Adjustment 13 cm Tilt -5° to 21° Swivel -30° to 30° Pivot ±90° Stand Adjustments Tilt, Swivel, Height, Pivot Glass Hardness 3H Horizontal Frequency 27–270 kHz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Vertical Frequency 48–120 Hz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Video Inputs 2 × HDMI 2.1 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3), 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3) Operating Temperature 0°C to 40°C Storage Temperature -20°C to 60°C Operating Humidity 10%–80% (Non-condensing) Storage Humidity 5%–95% (Non-condensing) Get it at the link below: Dell S2725QS 27-inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor: $218.49 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $280) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
