Well there goes £230 of my wages invested in to a new case and cooling system for my PC so I can run BC2 better. :D

Shame I'll have only a few hours before the servers go down though. :(

Edit: Bos always keep down your ammo even if you're not using it, points are points. :P

As a medic I prefer the M249 my self. More details just came in about the damage increase:

- SMGs

- MGs

- AR

- Pistols

Are all getting a 25% dmg boost to each bullet fired. :D

That's definitely good news. I haven't played since they fixed the hit detection, but that was one of the gripes I had from before. There were cases where I had to unload a full clip from my assault rifle at close or mid range just to bring a guy down. Granted, it may have just been a laggy server or my crap connection.

Seems about right. The shotguns are stupidly powerful within 10 metres.

You know you are right about that. I have been running with a shotty lately on my medic and just been running into firefights in the middle of buildings and destroying people..

Good news on the damage increase, I can't tell you how many times I've tried to kill someone with my pistol at close range and hit them 5-6 times and they still manage to knife me. And then you see after that in the kill cam thing that they still have 25% health left. That's playing as a recon.

PC walkthrough video from the Battlefield Blog:

Nice. And I heard him mention that people can change the FOV to what they want, but it will have a limit.

Also Damn my brother in law who I just helped build a PC.:laugh: We have literally the same exact comp except he got a 5870 I think it was? Basically the 2nd highest ATi card, thing is a beast, but it is Direct X 11 capable, and that ambient lighting they showed real quick with DX11 looked pretty good. Nothing great, but cool enough.

yeah I am looking at getting a Quadcore and new mobo myself just to play this game.

A decent quad core really seems to make a hell of a difference on this game. I've only upgraded to a Q9400 my self in January. Didn't see the point in blowing ?350+ on an i7!

That video card is great. You get HD 4870X2 performance with DX11 added on top. I'm definitely looking forward to my next build: AMD 6-core CPU, HD 5870, 8GB DDR3.

    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I hear you on browser password manager, in my case I have two Google profiles, one was created when Google decided to grandfather us out of Workspace for Domains (with the replacement being too expensive for 25 users) resulting in my domain email address no longer being able to be registered to a new Workspace I created (for myself and another co-owner) so I could use Takeout and sync over some stuff to the new Workspace. Then I have my personal Google profile which I could be logged into on my desktop or Mobile, so I am saving passwords on one or the other, and when an URL changes another password for the same service gets added, it basically ends up being a giant mess. Unless I missed something is there a local decent password manager that can override the browser password managers for Chrome, Edge, Firefox (profiles) so that there is only one vault, and does that also support Passkeys (which to me are still confusing because sometimes it will ask for a Passkey on a phone I am no longer using!) Microsofts implementation of Passkeys is the worst!

      It's utterly baffling that we have no idea when we'll get new features even well after they've been released. Why Microsoft thinks this is a good rollout strategy is beyond me.

      If it makes anybody happy, others will need to be bitter about it. (apologies to Yogi Berra)
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By M. Murcek · Posted

      I owned a lot of Soundblaster cards over the years all the way back to the ISA slot era. I use a Soundblaster X3 external now because I'm able to run it through a KVM and have it follow the machine I happen to be using. It drives a set of JBL 305 powered monitors wonderfully. I'm not gaming or doing home theater through it, so rear channels aren't a consideration for me, though it does have side / rear / sub outputs.

      I disagree that using browser based password managers is a bad idea, your passwords are encrypted by the OS password, but they also be synchronized to make them helpful. I would also use a password manager extension that supports MFA TOTP and Passkeys to manage the account that synchronizes the data. Ente is 100% free and allows you to vault important information, has password vault support, and supports 2FA TOTP support, I just don’t believe, it has a browser extension.
