I only play rush if my friends are online. Otherwise I stick exclusively to Conquest.

This game is unrivalled when you're in a good squad.

Oh and the medic class must be overpowered since it's so popular :P

It normally can give the most points a game. Revivies, heals, squad (of both), kills, assist and it can keep your ticker from going down. A well played medic can change an entire game.

Medic definitely has the potential to be a game changer, but it's a little annoying when somebody plays Medic purely for the LMG. I see a lot of them who don't even attempt to heal teammates. I don't mind if they don't revive (as I'm not a fan of the revive system here at all, should be more like Enemy Territory), but they should at least throw down a health kit when a teammate obviously needs one.

I have an 8800gts and the game does randomly quit, (though not happend when im actually playing a game) and when i quit the game i have to end the process manually, but i love the game too much for it to bother me

I do think medic class is a bit over powered, since becoming one, my k/d has greatly improved, in most games i easily get 2:1, and im normally in the top 3 of the score board. Had one of my best games earlier, as i was put in a clan squad and we actually worked together, 2 of us were medics and would revive each other and the other squad members and we easily took A and B in rush, i was 2nd from top with 22-10 kd and got around 15,000 points

Its one of the things i like about this game, if you work together you can easily win a round (though dont always get a decent k/d), but if everyone goes off to do their own thing, becomes very hard to win, (but tend to get a better kd)

tbh iv kinda given up on the kd aspect of the game, and care more about points

Sorry guys I meant 9800GT.

Regardless if your playing at 1920x1200 or any high resolution with medium everything and bloom off I would like you to post rather saying " I don't know what he's going on about" or etc.

Either show some proof or for all I know you can have dx at 9 an everything like shadows and bloom at off. If so, I'm sorry but that's not what I'm talking about. You can cripple this game and run it very fine.

But If your running it at dx10 you need a better gpu then the 8800 to run it at high resolutions.

Now if your playing at dx9 and think the 8800gt is sufficent yes it is but that's not what I was talking about. I assumed anyone playing the pc copy had atleast a decent card and run it at dx10. Guess I was wrong. So if your running it at dx9. Your right. If your running at dx10 I'm right.

End of story. If your gonna continue to prove me wrong fine, show me proof or don't bother replying to me.

Oh my, you're right. It is Arica. I can't believe I read it as Africa this whole time... :pinch:

I blame the Internet. I first read it as Africa on gaming news sites before the PS3 beta started.

lol don't worry man I've been reading it as arica since the maplist. I never bothered to realize it's a port and since it's a port I do believe they won't call it Africa haha.

But should of seen my face when my friends like "look" and he showed me on his 360. I was stunned.

But it happens atleast now both you and I know it's arica lmao.

I'm not sure how to check what version of dx it's supposedly using, but I have DX11. I'm running windows 7 x64, have a q6600 with 4 gigs of ram and an 8800gt running at the game's default medium settings and it is smooth as silk. I've actually been debating on setting it at high, but I have yet to do that. Settings.ini is set to dxversion of auto. I have no clue what kind of proof you want, but I can tell you with it set at the default medium, it runs VERY well.

What resolution are you running at? You failed to tell me it. Also your running dx9 I believe because the 9 series had dx10 support I think it was. No nvidia card has dx11 support yet that's fermi.

But post a Fraps benchmark while in game with people and the resolution. That's the only proof I ask for.

oh, I forgot to put the rez in the last post. I stated it earlier. 1680X1050. Not sure if I want to do the whole fraps thing. It's just another useless program for me. As long as I never get choppiness I'm happy. And I can hoestly say I have not once had choppiness

what's so special about dx10? their is no real advantage to it other then getting a hit in FPS...

look at the dif

but seriously, their is next to no benefit running in dx10. dx10 has been a joke so far, and now that dx11 is coming what's the point of it?

here are my settings

core 2 e6400 @ 3.0gh'ish (just under) and oc'ed 8800gt and the game runs great. Only bogs down in a area with like four tanks going nuts when a crapload of people everywhere with explosions and smoke...

are you kidding me? 8800GT has DX10 support.

1920x1200 with medium settings, set at DX10 mode. Runs perfect for me. (DX 10 mode manually set)

I have it running at High resolutions just fine.. but you seem to think you cant. Interesting.

Rush is where it's at. I can't stand conquest, people coming at you from way to many directions. It's way to random for me. Add in grenade and rpg spammers and it gets old fast. But those are in all game types, so meh, guess that's moot.

Annnnd do we have to add people to our friends list again or what? I only have one person on mine where I used to have quite a few. I haven't seen or heard anything about that yet.

obviously my game on "auto" for directx was going for dx10, because I changed it to 9 and I had a HUGELY fluctuatng FPS from 23 to 90. Personally, I'll stick it back on auto (or 10) because I like a nice consistent framerate

enable vsync?

I know exactly what you mean. Im RUSH. I do conquest time ot time, but i did SO much conquest in BF2, that im done with it for awhile. Hell still do conquest when playing bf2 lol.

Also the friends list some people got there list back. I got mine back, but i would recommend just re add everyone.

Anybody playing right now? If so, where are you playing and what is your name?

I am lonely. :(

Whats your name dude? Im SikhDude on steam and Sikh in game.

    • Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken by Sayan Sen Microsoft is making some decent progress when it comes to Windows 11. Recently we have confirmed reports of some rather useful improvements landing in the next version of the OS, 26H2, wherein GPU driver TDR crashes may finally be fixed, plus the company is also allowing users to disable web content on the Search. On the Outlook front though things have not been so rosy. Last month in May we reported several problems affecting basic functionalities on the app. These included a problem where documents would open blank or corrupt themselves. Following that, Quick Steps, a very useful feature, would no longer work correctly, and finally, Microsoft acknowledged a problem wherein images would fail to load up properly inside the email. Microsoft had resolved those bugs later and almost exactly a month after we reported on them, the company has now admitted a new similarly basic issue, this time on Macs. Users recently started noticing that Outlook would no longer display email threads properly as the original message itself was not displayed. An affected user Tsoumpas, C (ngmb) nicely described the problem in a forum post they made on Microsoft's site. They wrote: "Description of the issue: After updating Outlook for Mac [Version 16.110 (26061317)] on 18/6/2026, replying to any email no longer includes the original message in the reply window. Prior to the update, replies correctly contained the original email text below my response. Expected behavior: The original message should be included in the reply, as in previous Outlook versions and according to the configured reply settings. Actual behavior: The reply window contains only a blank composition area (or only my response), with none of the original email text included." Obviously this must be a highly frustrating for users as noted by several in that thread. The post, at the time of writing, has also been upvoted by more than 40 users indicating that is a fairly widespread bug. Thankfully Microsoft seems to have acknowledged the problem right around that time as it opened a new issue on its official website. In the support article, the company recommends switching to Outlook for Mac from the legacy app, where the problem appears to be happening.
