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.

    • Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.
    • You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
    • Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
    • Just saw a news report of a Waymo driving into a flooded road.
