Are you guys serious with the spotting? :laugh: That was pretty much a staple of BF2, although it was a bit different than it is now, so I have always been a spotting mad man. Really helpful for when you are in a squad taking out a tank, etc.

Well, considering I avoided BF2 like the plague, I don't see how I would have known :p

I thought you played it for all those Mods people made like Project Real Wind Simulator 5.0 :rofl:

I am pretty damn sure SMELTN played it though no?

Even if you did play BF2 I could see how maybe you did not even use it, and maybe just not remembering because it was a bit different in BF2, you had what was more of a radial dial with options, one of them was Enemy Spotted, so I used to use that alot.

And actually I figured out the spotting in Bad Company 1 by accident on the 360, so I knew about it on there as well.

I was just busting cahones, it is a very easy thing to miss honestly.

You honestly think enemy tagging is included in realistic modifications? :laugh:

But I know man, at least it's an appropriate time to learn these little things .... :shiftyninja:

Of course it was not included, I just wanted to make a joke about realistic modifications is all. :laugh:

Trying to think of any other little things you guys may not now, and that is probably the only major game-play related thing I can think of. If I think of any will come back and share.

I love this new 'glitch' or whatever it is, that allows players to get on top of the hill next to the house at the small hill, at the "second phase".

And by love I mean effin' hate :rolleyes:

yeah everyone uses that like crazy.. basically I just spam nades up there and take out a ton of people.

And yeah DL you know I played all the BF games, but I seriously forgot all about the spotting.

Yep I knew you played it. Like I said in all fairness it is way different than it was in BF2. Honestly the way I found it was going with my BF2 instincts and hoping there would be the old options there used to be, which were much more squad oriented and also things like Follow Me, Need A Medic, etc. Or along those lines. It has been quite some time since I played it, but I definitely recall a radial dial with options similar to those I listed. Now it is just the one single spotting option. Hopefully BF3 is more like the old way.

Hell I play BF2 like a beast, and still do but i never called it spotting. I understand where the "spotting" comes from as it says SPOT then you right click and get a choice. I usually just said "Sniper Marked, assault Marked", etc when on voice chatting.

Either way I use to use it when in squad play. IN BC2 the whole you get free points for it is bogus. Makes me ONLY want to use it when I squad play and thats probably the only time ill use it, or to help myself mark someone as they run into the forest, thats helpful.

Sethos: WHYD YOU skip BF2?

I didn't skip it completely, played it for a few weeks after release and then the interest died down.

Never really found a passion for that game, compared to the other games I played back then it was fairly ugly,

wasn't all that fun and back then I hated everything military set in arcade games because I felt they had butchered something :laugh:

Today I'm like 3% more tolerant :p

Since I was ALWAYS in a Squad, that was not me. When I said spotting mad man I mean I actually used it when needed, not all of the time, when needed. This is not the first time you have quoted me to accuse me of doing something I just never did, but oh well, keep getting your kicks.

Cheer up DL! Just had an amazing game with a few mates. Though this map is intolerable now. :(

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • Google DeepMind AI Control Roadmap: When Alignment Fails, Defense-in-Depth Takes Over

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Google DeepMind published a document on June 18, 2026, that may be the most consequential admission yet from a frontier AI lab: alignment training alone cannot guarantee that AI agents will remain under human control, so structural containment must be built before more capable models arrive.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318758/20260620/google-deepmind-ai-control-roadmap-when-alignment-fails-defense-depth-takes-over.htm  
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Taliseian · Posted

      I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....

      I agree with both of you... It's absolutely imperative that science is completely based on actual proven facts and hard evidence and is not considered dogmatic in any way. Science is not a religion and it will never be, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
