That's not entirely true. What the Gol's 100% accuracy gives it is no sway when you're aiming. It still has bullet drop. But yeah, it's pretty much a direct upgrade to the M24. Which is why I don't get why so many people are still using that rifle.

I've felt like the GOL is superior than the M24. Even though the stats point towards the M24.

You can change the DX mode in the settings.ini file I believe. So you don't even really need to get that involved with it.

Even better. Thanks for the response.

Might mess with it just for the hell of it, but will probably just leave it as is. I am getting pretty damn good performance, but when it comes to online I have always felt the more frames the better.

when i tried going to dx9 mode via the ini file it just did not give me the same FPS boost as actually running windows xp. but give it a shot, it may work out for you. Good thing im just dual booting so i can go back to win 7 at any time (don't really miss it that much, plus x-fi work better in xp...)

I am hating teams in rush. :/ People can't ****ing defend the posts and rush around towards their spawn points and try to get them there. :crazy: Then when they are losing they switch teams and then its like 4 vs. 20. :angry: I hate people.

Hunt around for servers with the Guardian script installed. Keeps teams balanced all time, with lots of other neat stuff.

Yeah I kind of figured as much. Oh well I probably definitely wont bother with it then, still getting decent performance. Maybe next time I do a clean install, with may be sooner than later as I am considering picking up a SSD in the near future, so who knows.

honestly, give it a shot. i threw some comparison screenshots somewhere on this thread (no way im digging back go find it) to show sikh and their are next to no differences. If you google "dx9 vs dx10 bad company 2" you'll get tons of comparisons pages out there. honestly dx10 and dx11 is so far a joke...

To be fair, DX11 adds better shadows as well as small performance optimizations. It's a shame they didn't add things like hardware tessellation and improved texture compression. I guess they didn't want to alienate people with DX9/DX10 video cards.

Right now I run a copy on my new machine, i7 920 with an ATI 5850 DX11 my son runs his copy on a Dell XPS laptop DX9. I can say the DX11 just seems to add more. Hard to explain but the "environmental" effects seem way better on my computer than his. Lens flare, lighting, muzzle flash from the tanks etc.... just seem to have more flavor. Of course it makes it harder for me with seeing but the environmental effects are not served justice with screen shots. On a side note, if someone is able to run the game in DX11 only a handful of cards support DX11 and should run the game no issues.

Well the reason it could appear better is simply because your machine (the i7) is probably way more beastly than an XPS laptop. If you had two even spec'd machines where the only difference was a DX10 and DX11 graphics card, then the comparison would be accurate

That very well may be the case. My two points are A - Stills do not always capture the true difference B - If someone can run in DX 11 they have to have either an ATI 5000 series card or the very new Nvidia card, either way they should have no issues running this game so why not run DX11??

"I'm camping at your spawn point".

Tradition with all Battlefield games, so unless you are brand new to the series don't know how you didn't know about this.

As for the sniping, must be playing against some damn good snipers to be popping you left and right or being totally obvious about where you are and what you are doing.

This game needs to be renamed "Bad Campy 2" because all people do is fricking camp with fricking snipers.

lol.. this is really true.. but I do help accomplish things.. I've saved people countless times and prevented a lot of arms or sabotages. I do switch up from time to time though..

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.

      Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.

      Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      By RejZoR · Posted

      Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
