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.

    • 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....

      How do you connect 5.1 Speakers to this thing?
    • A 13 billion year old secret about our Universe's origin was revealed

      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.
