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.

played a little bit earlier, kept getting disconnected a few times and the servers were really laggy today... this is PC version. anyone else get this?

it may be because people haven't updated their servers to the new version though...

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!

    • I hear you on browser password manager, in my case I have two Google profiles, one was created when Google decided to grandfather us out of Workspace for Domains (with the replacement being too expensive for 25 users) resulting in my domain email address no longer being able to be registered to a new Workspace I created (for myself and another co-owner) so I could use Takeout and sync over some stuff to the new Workspace. Then I have my personal Google profile which I could be logged into on my desktop or Mobile, so I am saving passwords on one or the other, and when an URL changes another password for the same service gets added, it basically ends up being a giant mess. Unless I missed something is there a local decent password manager that can override the browser password managers for Chrome, Edge, Firefox (profiles) so that there is only one vault, and does that also support Passkeys (which to me are still confusing because sometimes it will ask for a Passkey on a phone I am no longer using!) Microsofts implementation of Passkeys is the worst!
    • It's utterly baffling that we have no idea when we'll get new features even well after they've been released. Why Microsoft thinks this is a good rollout strategy is beyond me.
    • If it makes anybody happy, others will need to be bitter about it. (apologies to Yogi Berra)
    • I owned a lot of Soundblaster cards over the years all the way back to the ISA slot era. I use a Soundblaster X3 external now because I'm able to run it through a KVM and have it follow the machine I happen to be using. It drives a set of JBL 305 powered monitors wonderfully. I'm not gaming or doing home theater through it, so rear channels aren't a consideration for me, though it does have side / rear / sub outputs.
    • I disagree that using browser based password managers is a bad idea, your passwords are encrypted by the OS password, but they also be synchronized to make them helpful. I would also use a password manager extension that supports MFA TOTP and Passkeys to manage the account that synchronizes the data. Ente is 100% free and allows you to vault important information, has password vault support, and supports 2FA TOTP support, I just don’t believe, it has a browser extension.
