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.

    • Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements by David Uzondu Zed 1.7.2 recently landed on the stable release channel, bringing a host of AI-related features including automatic context compaction and settings-based skill management, along with other things like better Markdown preview rendering and custom git commands in the graph view. Starting with the AI stuff, the developers introduced "/compact", a command that basically summarizes your conversation history on demand. This tool prevents your active chat window from hitting token limits by compressing older parts of the dialogue into a brief overview. In addition to that, the team relocated skill management to the settings UI, improving how the application communicates errors regarding those skills, and updated the OpenCode model roster to support DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, and Nemotron 3 Ultra Free. External agent users can also monitor context window cost metrics and delete individual sessions directly from their history. Right-clicking ref labels in the git graph now opens a context menu that runs different actions against selected targets, kind of how VS Code does it. Here are some of the bug fixes this new release brings: The active agent fails to auto-select when creating a new git worktree. A scrollbar unexpectedly appears on wrapped code blocks in the agent chat. Collapse indicators for project headers appear when performing sidebar searches. Bracketed ellipsis title prefixes fail to show the ellipsis icon properly. Project icons render incorrectly in the recent projects picker. Diff hunk controls appear inside non-editable commit view multibuffers. The software update button hangs indefinitely on the downloading stage. Restoring an agent terminal in a remote project triggers a sudden crash. Splitting a pane that contains an active commit view causes a crash. Linux Wayland freezes when trying to read the clipboard from laggy external apps. Zed is a "newish" code editor trying to break the massive stronghold VS Code has on the developer community. Funny enough, the editor was created by former GitHub employees who worked on the Atom text editor (which Microsoft killed in 2022, several years after it bought GitHub). The project officially hit version 1.0 back in April, introducing platform parity for Windows and Linux alongside deep support for DeepSeek-V4-Pro.
    • 26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Pro 12 (inch), within a VM.

    • The FIFA World Cup is not US centric.
    • It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
