Rush? Never heard of that. The only game types I've played are "Get sniped in 10 seconds", "Get sniped in 4 seconds", and "I'm camping at your spawn point".

Find some friends and play with them then. I've found, on the PC, snipers can't hit **** if you're running hell to leather between cover.

Hit detection is defintely broke here. Playing on my regular server last night, creeped up to a baddie and plugged 4-5 shots directly into his head (no way I missed) with an M60 too. Nothing happened. The cursor didn't even flash. And this happened consistently last night. One of my favourite guns (XM8 Compact) was reduced to a beating stick.

Oh yeah hit detection has been off for weeks. More so recently than before. It improves if you restart the server every night but I've had 40mm under-slung shotgun rounds not kill someone at point blank. Or nades land next to someone foot and not see a damage marker.

@Killmaster

I said I was done for the night and I guess my game felt it too because it crashed as soon as that match ended. :laugh:

Anyways, horrible games for me tonight. I have the worst luck with spawning and then pretty much eating a grenade to face every time. Some might consider that good luck I guess...depending on how you look at it.

MW1 is a better game than MW2. Why it's still held in high regard by some I have no idea.

Different strokes for different folks really doesn't seem to fit the bill this time around. Same goes for GoW1 > GoW2 imo.

For me:

COD2 > MW2 > MW1 > WaW > COD3

GOW2 > GOW1

however....

Resistance 1 > Resistance 2

PGR 2 > PGR 3 > PGR 4

So, I am pretty flexible when it comes to sequels.

trag3dy maybe in here whistle.gif

A lot of that was from yesterday. :laugh:

I was having some bad bad luck. All those sniper shots you got on me...yeah...I pretty much just spawned there. And then wham, dead. Depending on how you look at it I have really good luck at finding peoples bullets/rockets/grenades just after I spawn. It's a skill that's easy to learn yet takes years to master..

And I'll be on later tonight, we should try to get into some games together if anyone is interested.

I'm thinking about getting this, but I'm very reluctant to dish out the 50 dollars (after having bought GOW3 and FFXIII over the last month). Is this game worth the purchase? I have been looking for a good, well-paced multiplayer centric game for a while now. :p

yes

This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools.

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

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By sphbecker · Posted

      All versions is correct. The bug appears on any version of Windows with KB5094126 installed. It's a little insane to expect the author to explain that systems that can't possibly have that patch installed, will not experience the bug. If you have any gripe about the title, it would be that it doesn't mention the update at all, but I wouldn't agree with that either. A title is not expected to be a full summery of the article.
