With the expected nerfing of the M60 (and I do agree it is way overpowered). I?ve started using the other classes, and quickly found my replacements. All of them being XM8 variants. Seriously awesome gun. My favourite one being XM8 Compact (others being the XM8 Project and LMG), simple because it is silenced and I can rape enemies from any direction within 10 feet and they haven?t got a clue until I am tea bagging them :shiftyninja:

Anyone noticed, that adding the red dot sight or the x4 sight seems to make your gun recoil a little more? Only mention this, because I?ve just unlocked red dot sight for the engineer class, and the sight is bouncing way more than normal. I may just stick to standard sights and load some other perk instead :cool:

Yeah we waited and now were off. Dude you missed the funniest and funnest gaming session in recent memory! Even though I was half asleep most of the time the amount of crap we got up to was insane! Lets just say it involved using mines to catapult Munky out of the map etc... Seriously have not had so much fun and laughs in a very long time :D

Yeah sorry man, I had all intentions of coming home and playing with you guys, but then I partied a bit to hard with my friends and had to sober up. :laugh:

Haven't used the red dot sight a lot, so I can't speak to that, but I do notice that the 4x scope recoils quite a bit for me. I just figured it was a consequence of the magnification (movements of the gun that would seem small in the iron sights seem more severe at 4x). I thought about sticking to the iron sights at first, but I really like the 4x scope on maps like Atacama Desert, where snipers are lurking everywhere. Plus, it's a lot easier to spot enemies with the scope (for me, at least). I've been getting a lot of spot assists lately...

I finally unlocked the M16A2, but I think I actually like the AN-94 better. The M16A2 worked well enough on Atacama Desert, where I could safely chip away at an opponent's health without them seeing me, but on smaller maps like White Pass, I was getting a little frustrated at the lack of power. I guess I'm just a sucker for firepower. :)

I thought SP was decent tbf but so much of it was a shameless rip-off of MW/MW2.

I don't think so, so far. I think it's worse. I hate the fact that when you zoom, it remains at zoom until you click the zoom button again. The guns look like crap and the people look like crap too. :p Not really bashing the game though, I hope multi-player fairs better because that's what I loved about BF:2 and BF:2142. I also liked the beta multi-player.

I am running this on a Intel Core i7 920, 6GB of DDR3 RAM, and a BFG nVidia GTX 280 OC2, with all the settings on high.

hah thanks for that. dont you feel bothered sniping from one place?

when i am playing sniper i cant sit for 1 second :p i always keep rushing places. :rofl:

Nope, I have my favourite spots and tend to use them religiously. Although, I have found that there are some excellent central spots.

On Panama Canal map, if you go next to the warehouse in the centre of the map, there's a burned out truck with flames licking the end of it. I often crouch there and get loads of headshots as people are too focused on the flag rather than looking in the corners.

Oh and always snipe within viewing distance of the UAV machine. Reliable and easy headshots :D

x4 scope is to be expected, and something that I can handle. But the red dot bounces like a pair of ######. Useless perk!

Only bought it up because on the XM8 Compact + Red Dot is just horrible to use. A little better with x4 sight.

Started playing the singleplayer and I am not that into it. :/ There is just something about the singleplayer that is really not allowing me to like it, not sure what though.

SP is crap. Really boring.
I've been trying for a few days now to get the Flag Defense Pin. I get up to 3 almost every time and fail. Its really ****ing me off. It is the last pin I need and it dosent look like I will be able to get it. Highly frustrating.
Stop playing for awards/stats. And you will have much more fun, I promise you!

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      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.
