BFBC2 SP is better than MW2 SP, imo.

Longer playtime, the set pieces are busier (if somewhat less inventive) but the frequent transition points can somewhat spoil the overall effect.

Playtime was around 8-10hrs (didn't measure - I'm not a particularly good FPs gamer though. Hardcore gamer could do it in 6, I bet).

How does the flow feel? MW2 really lost me as I appeared to win a jet set tour of the world.

lies,

beta runs great on my system. have the graphics maxed out @ 1440x900 with my system. Core 2 Duo e6400 @ 3ghz/ 4 gigs of DDR Ram and an slightly overlocked XFX 800GT runnings windows 7 x64. 8x AF and 4x AA. oh the AA is done through nHancer

[...]

I have an E6750 @ 3.2 GHz, 8GB-DDR2 RAM, and an HD 4870 and I can't get more than 40 FPS [constant] at 1680x1050 with 2xAA/4xAF (on medium). It's usually between 30-40 FPS. :s I guess you can pull it off at 1440x900, but you'll need to run it in DX9 mode for better performance. AA won't work though.

As for the soldier list, I have something better. Google Docs. :)

Just click on the link and add the required info. Just remember to save it (File>Save and Close). (Y)

By the way, I've added some names to the list already. Feel free to correct it if I made any mistakes.

Is there any protection from someone just going and deleting everyone/specific users from it?

I can see the revision history and revert to an older version that hasn't been "tampered with". Plus, you can periodically download it (in multiple formats including PDF) and post it here (e.g. Soldier list as of March 1st, etc).

Oh sweet, that's pretty neet. Anyway we can use my "pr0" logo? :p

So are we deciding on Google Docs then? Best to pick one main method rather than having 3 or 4 methods floating around.

Not sure but it looks like someone might have already tampered with it, as I see you mentioned adding some names already and I saw none on it right now when I checked it out.

You could get people to add their details here:

http://www.heavymess...SoldierList.php

Then get the list here:

http://www.heavymess...er/Soldiers.csv

What I quoted seemed to work good. The google docs page was blank for me, any reason for that or am I too noob?

Nvm, has names on it now.

I added the image but I couldn't figure out a way to move it or resize it for that matter. I'd say Google Docs is the best method, for now.

That'd be me. I accidentally deleted the list while trying to delete an image I added. It should be fine now.

Yeah I just banned their IP. I may add a swear filter when I get round to it :). Also good idea for location I'll make it a drop down list for US / EU / Other

I think it'd be a better idea for it to be a text field like the Neowin name and soldier name. That way, we can know where that person is. "Other" doesn't tell us that much. Thanks again!

What about timezone? That way people can easily see what timezone it is and doesn't matter what country?

Timezone sounds good.

Something like this...

Neowin Username | BF2BC Username | Location | Timezone | Platform

Anaron | Anaron | US/Canada | EST | PC

That looks good. And Anaron, about that new rule/policy change that Barney just posted.. so now people can post game spoilers before a game is even released or what? I don't care about screen shots and the like but I don't want to read spoilers about story line before a game is even out.

Doesn't really apply to this game in particular because we're all mostly playing for the multiplayer, but for other games it does.

Edit: What I'm refering to:

Yes, game discussion about a leaked game is now allowed as long as you don't post links or instructions on how to obtain it.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

      This seems backwards. You should have to explicitly authorize files for outside use. It shouldn't be the default.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      Wow you are right, I never even noticed this until you said it! (870E Aorus Master) Before testing this card I had a TP-Link tx401 10GbE PCIe card in that slot (now using XikeStor 310 Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter).

      Lack of 5.1 makes this a no sale. What I really wish creative would make would be a USB version that supports 5.1 analog audio for speakers, can switch to headphone mode, and matches the specs of their top tier cards. The current X870E AMD motherboards dont have a great option for adding a PCIE x1 card without cutting down pcie lanes to the graphics card.
    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot by Usama Jawad I have been actively using Microsoft Word for the past couple of decades in academic, professional, and personal capacities. Although I used it through the perpetual version of Office apps at the start, I have been an active subscriber of Microsoft 365 Family subscription for over five years now. This means that my Word installation is regularly updated with new features, some of which I don't really like, but that's beside the point. As new features get continuously added, old ones that used to be a staple of Word have started to take a backseat. While I was reminiscing over my Windows experiences from my childhood today, I suddenly remember one such capability that I heavily used in my younger years but have not really touched in over a decade, and haven't seen in documents created by others either. That feature is WordArt. Just to clarify, WordArt is not a Microsoft product specific to Word, and is included in other Office apps like PowerPoint and Excel too. However, Microsoft Word is the app that I used Word Art in heavily, while making assignments or other deliverables for school. If you're unaware, WordArt offers a collection of styling techniques for text, introducing 3D effects like shadows and reflections in the text. It used to be one of the coolest things ever when I was at school and me and my classmates would often compete to ensure that our assignment's title in WordArt was truly the best and stood out above the rest. See some examples of WordArt, still present in the latest versions of Word below: Although WordArt is undeniably cool, it has taken a bit of a backseat, and has been relegated from the Home tab to the Insert toolbar, along with a bunch of other utilities, making it very easy to miss. This isn't exactly surprising because WordArt doesn't really have a place in academic and professional documents anymore, and while I have seen some creatives using it while developing promo material, even that sector has gravitated more towards dedicated graphic designing tools in the past years. For the vast majority of us, WordArt doesn't really exist, and that's alright. At least, it's still an option that can allow us to reminisce our childhood or even make some quick text stylization, if we really need it. Perhaps its usage has waned over time or the novelty has worn off, but I haven't even seen children use it in their academic assignments anymore. In fact, many don't even know that it exists. Maybe that's the fate of every beloved feature. What once felt cutting edge eventually becomes a relic, quietly tucked away as tastes, trends, and technology move on. WordArt may no longer dominate school assignments or decorate the covers of classroom projects, but for those of us who grew up with it, it remains a colorful reminder of a time when making text glow, bend, and cast giant shadows felt like the height of creativity. Hidden behind a few clicks in modern Word, it still survives not as a productivity tool, but as a small piece of computing nostalgia that refuses to disappear.
