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.

      The site is pretty sparse on features / tech specs. Can I plug it into a PC/hone/Switch via USB-C and use it as an external display? If so, what's the virtual resolution of the screen, the refresh rate, PPI of the image etc? Is the text crisp enough to use for coding at say 12pt? Is it good enough for playing dark games, like say Path of Exile 2? How about fast games like car racing games? Just how do they expect anyone to order this thing without giving out all this info?
