I'm in search for an FPS game that is sort of an MMO it can be a small community as long as it is online. This game MUST have ADS (aim down sights) as perfected by Modern Warfare and its sequel. I haven't really found any MMOFPS PC games to do that other than MW itself (examples of ADS below). I liked Operation 7 and it has a decent ADS system, but I would like to look for other games similar to that.

Any help with this is appreciated! :D

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 has SecuROM™ :(

not bad... that is on top of Steam as well for those copies which are sold through it...

apparently,

It runs only when the game runs, and really only does anything on first launch.

It's a wrapper contained within the EXE. Launch the EXE and SecuROM does it's check and game goes

It doesn't install anything into the Kernel

so that makes it less invasive than something like Punkbuster

It also limits you to 10 installs.

I mean seriously.

Treat legit customers like thieves and thieves like they deserve medals.

That's crap.

You'd think that if they verify that you're installed on steam, that they'd eliminate the install SecuROM because Steam has it's own DRM that is of it's own that is a lot better.

you rather activate it up to ten times OR you can just keep the disk in the drive and not activate it... people blow things like this WAYYYYYYYYYY outta proportion. piracy is a giant problem on the PC, now we gotta deal with the consequences of that and this one it's not a big deal AT ALL.

Er.. No, you have to activate it to play. If you don't activate it, the online mode won't work. That's the way these games work.

No matter what these companies do, pirates will get around it, they just need to stop putting stuff in their games that has so many problems, and just forget it all together.

(Y)

For the actual mechanics of verification DICE has provided players with two options; one online, one offline.

The offline authentication is intended for those who don't have an internet connection or who aren't comfortable with the idea of an install limit and is a basic disc check system that requires the CD to be in the drive whenever the game is run.

The online option means you only need the disc to install the game, but limits you to only ten concurrent installs. Install credits are automatically refunded, so to speak, whenever the game is uninstalled - though you'll need to be online for both the installation and uninstallation. The online authentication only needs to run once though, then you can run the game for 10,000 days (27 years) before being forced to authenticate again.

Think there's no real point blowing a storm in a tea cup here..

Yes I agree it would ultimately be better with less DRM controls, however in this current time where it's so crazy easy to pirate a game, game studios really need to implement them in order to get some type of profit out of it.

I really find it amusing that the same people who complain about Digital Rights Management in one thread,

will then move on to another thread to complain why there's not enough good games being released for PC any more... Go figure!

sorry, but I've already verified that you DO NOT need to activate it when you use the option to have the dvd in the drive, therefore you can have unlimited installs as long as you use the disc. Besides, as long as you remember to uninstall it, you will never go below the 10 install limit for the option not requiring the disc. This is the best DRM I have seen in a long, long time.

    • Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for seven more games as discounts continue

      Nvidia GeForce NOW gains support for seven more games as discounts continue by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There's a brand-new update rolling out to Nvidia's GeForce NOW streaming service, and like every week, that means more games have received support on the platform. This week's drop has additions like Aphelion and Pro Cycling Manager 26 attached to it. Don't forget that the GeForce NOW summer sale is still active too. This limited-time offer drops the 12-month Performance membership from $99.99 to $64.99, saving members $35. At the same time, the 12-month Ultimate membership is currently going for $129.99, dropping the price by $70 from the original $199.99. Moreover, Nvidia reiterated that support for GOG single sign-in and game library is incoming this summer, joining stores like Steam, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, and Xbox. "Connect supported game store accounts and stream titles with GeForce RTX power. Games that include cloud-save functionality help keep progress intact across devices," added the company. "Start a game on one screen, pick up where playtime left off on another, and spend less time managing installs and storage space." Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Embers of the Uncrowned Demo (New release on Steam, available 13) Pro Cycling Manager 26 (New release on Steam, available June 15) Aphelion (Steam) Citizen Sleeper (Epic Game Store, Free from June 18-25) Megastore Simulator (Steam) OPERATOR (Steam) Super Meat Boy 3D (Xbox, available on Game Pass) Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month, with extra time being purchasable in chunks.

    • Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns

      Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels You may have read that many companies still run code written in ancient programming languages like COBOL and pay a handsome sum for those who can maintain that code. Well, it looks like this area of the tech world could be the scene of an AI bubble. It turns out that there are mainframe exit vendors, helping companies move their legacy mainframe systems to modern cloud environments or servers such as Microsoft Azure and AWS, using generative AI tooling. Unfortunately, 75% of these vendors are now expected to pivot or cease operations as market realities take hold by 2030. Alessandro Galimberti from Gartner said: Some of the companies in the mainframe exit market are IBM, 21CS, BMC, Broadcom, Rocket Software, DXC, GTSG, and Kyndryl. The reasons some of these firms are expected to quit the market are a reset of market expectations and a decline in demand for one-size-fits-all migration solutions. The reset in expectations is likely to be driven by cost overruns and threats to business, and the potential occurrence of critical failures within businesses as a result of bad transition implementations. These insights from Gartner are pretty interesting because it’s a specific area of the market where doubt is being cast on generative AI. Many people have cast doubt on whether AI companies will successfully justify the massive amounts spent on GenAI to date, and this data from Gartner suggests the road could be rocky for GenAI.
