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

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.

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026 by Aditya Tiwari Google Gemini has been around for over three years. The AI chatbot started its journey back in 2023 (as Bard) when ChatGPT was already a talk of the town. However, it quickly attracted criticism after misrepresenting facts about the James Webb Space Telescope. The search giant spent a year fine-tuning Bard before rebranding the chatbot and its underlying generative AI model to Gemini, drawing inspiration from NASA's first human spaceflight program. Note that Bard was initially powered by LaMDA and PaLM 2; Google has since added several new features and integrations to Gemini. That said, there is scope for improvement and a gap for new features. I have been using Gemini for a while now and have realized that the chatbot lacks several features, making it harder for me to research across topics. These are mostly function-over-form updates that can improve the overall experience. Delete individual messages from a conversation Image via DepositPhotos.com One good thing about Gemini is that it can maintain context throughout the conversation. But things might get chaotic when you want to ask a related question, but don't want it to be part of your conversation in the long run. You can't ask that related question in a fresh chat because Gemini will lose the active conversation context of what you're trying to research. If Google allowed you to delete individual question/answer pairs, you could simply ask about a sub-topic and remove it from the conversation to create a smooth flow of important stuff. Offline mode Image via DepositPhotos.com A big pain of using Gemini daily is that everything loads from the cloud. It takes time for your chats to appear, and you can't view your conversation history while offline. To get a better idea, you can open the Gemini app and see how it looks without an internet connection. While Gemini models run in the cloud, it wouldn't hurt if Google could store chats (at least the text part) on the device so we can refer to them when offline. Google can also offer a lightweight version of its AI model to help with basic drafting, summarization, and other tasks. It has the Gemini Nano model, which can perform on-device processing on Google Pixel, Samsung, and some other Android brands, but it's a system feature and not related to the cloud-based Gemini app. Make temporary chats permanent I can't thank Google enough for taking the time and effort to add incognito mode or temporary chat mode to the Gemini app. It lets you have conversations without worrying that the topics will end up in your chat history or used for model training (at least on paper). Google claims that it doesn't use your temporary chats to "personalize your Gemini experience or train Google’s AI models." However, the data is stored "up to 72 hours to respond to you and to process any feedback you choose to provide." That said, I often start researching something in a temporary chat, only to realize the chatbot's answer is good enough to refer to later. Sadly, Gemini doesn't have an option to make such temporary chats permanent. In other words, I won't be able to follow up on it if I close the temporary chat. I'm left with alternatives like copying the answers into notes or another app. My digital life will get a lot better if Gemini gets a button to make temporary chats permanent. Collapse answers for a cleaner view You're heavily invested in your research game and suddenly feel the need to go up in the chat to recall something. This is when the conversation thread starts to feel like an overwhelming, unending wall of questions and answers. What if Google added a way to collapse Q&A pairs in the Gemini chat thread? It would look quite clean and easy to navigate. You'll quickly get an overview of everything you have discussed with the chatbot. Add buttons to jump between messages Suggested mockup of the feature. This reminds me of a small but useful Gemini feature that Google could add to its chatbot: the ability to hop between prompts in a conversation. Just add simple up- and down-arrow buttons, similar to YouTube Shorts, so people can quickly scroll through the messages. A table of contents or Chat Overview It's hard to get a bird's-eye view of everything you have discussed with the chatbot during a lengthy conversation. This is where a table of contents, or Chat Overview, displayed at the top of the screen, possibly in a drop-down button, might come in handy. You'll be able to get an overview of the chat and jump between messages, serving as an alternative to the up/down arrow buttons. Temporary mode for Gemini Live Image: Google You can use Gemini Live to have real-time conversations with the chatbot, which feels like you're talking to someone in the same room. However, a downside is that Gemini Live doesn't work in Temporary Chat mode, so all your conversations end up in the chat history. Google should consider expanding the temporary chat mode to include Gemini Live. Default to a specific chat One thing that feels somewhat annoying to me is that Gemini always opens in a new chat, whether on web or mobile. Sometimes, you want to return to your last chat. Google can take cues from web browsers, which let you choose whether you want to go to a new tab or a specific web page(s). Gemini can also have options to default to a specific chat when reopened. That said, generative AI chatbots have endless possibilities given the vagueness of their work. You can mold them the way you want by attaching different connectors, adding custom instructions, and including source files. It remains to be seen what Google has in store for future updates and whether anything from this wishlist gets the green light. The search giant released a stream of new Gemini updates in recent months, including Gemini 3.5 Flash and Gemini Omni Spark, adding that it now has 13 products with more than a billion users each. What do you want to see in the Gemini app? Tell us in the comments.
