I find that I'm losing interest in playing after I unlock all the weapons, etc on all classes.. I hope there's something coming that keep me excited and having fun :)

What ever happened to just playing games because you enjoy them? Silly metagames. :(

I do find myself getting a little bored sometimes, but I have got loads of awards to achieve and stuff, so I am slowly working my way through them. Besides, the law is, if someone gets your tags, you have to get them back. Even if that means you spend the rest of the match running with your knife out dying a million times.

Besides, I love seeing M60 medics rage quit after I run circles around with them with my new found love. The PP (Y)

If anyone wants the Veteran unlock for free, just sign up to Battlefield Heroes. And then force a refresh on your Veteran status, the next time you log in. The M1 should be unlocked - have fun ;)

like why is it so hard to remember a default gun selection? choosing every time you hit up a server is annoying

Well the biggest reason this does not work is different servers have different settings.

With that said why not allow us a default configuration, and if it does not work pop up a quick message "This server disables certain aspects for your default kit. Remember to choose again." or something like that, seems pretty easy to me.

Am not getting bored but am getting quite annoyed with medic swarms :/

My tube always cures the medic swarms ;) No one cries louder about the tube then a squad full of medics. Once I see them swarming I pull it out.

Got my first gold tags (image below) :D

Actually got them twice, and I love to tease him about it on Vent. His new nickname is goldie :rofl:

What do the different tags represent? I have many silver tags, no gold though.

Funny enough, at least most other shooters still has the random aspect because players know how to vary things - In this game EVERYTHING is clockwork predictable.

Also because of the size, when players try a new position - Another player will just take their position. In other shooters, it's on a much, much smaller scale thus there isn't enough

players to occupy the 'standard' positions every time. Not to mention, despite having large maps, there aren't many tactical 'decent' positions and the primary ones will just get filled up

every single round. So in the end, you can ALWAYS count on players being on certain positions in every map plus you get so many kills because of it, in the end it's just not fun getting kills anymore

and that's pretty bad in a FPS.

So no, this is not like every other shooter - This is actually the most predictable shooter I've played in years.

And the above is not the only problem with the game, there's so many little niggles I won't go in-depth with because I can't be arsed discussing it on here

but suffice to say, I'm done with the game :)

I guess I am seeing things way different. I love to snipe, in every other game there are only so many sniper locations that are effective. In this game I can make my own wherever and whenever I want. The destructible environment allows me to blow holes anywhere and snipe from them. No two games are ever the same for me, the replay factor is awesome.

Nothing really. I think it breaks down like this:

  1. Level 0 ---> 20 = Bronze
  2. Level 21 ---> 40 = Silver
  3. Level 41 ---> 50 = Gold

Just goes to show even "elite" players get owned once in a while ;)

I have been working on getting all my pins/insignia's unlocked. Gives you something to do while playing.

They show different Ranks. The higher the rank of the person the tags change. Bronze - Silver - Gold

by the end everyone would have alot of gold tags. Since everyone would be at the highest level and etc.

Don't quite understand what you are saying?

If it was referring to my Gold tags comment, then its true, it goes by the rank of the player you knifed.

I don't see how the M60 is powerful. I am using it right now and I don't feel any difference from the original medic weapon. I kill the same amount of people with both.

Yes I know the M60 is supposed to be better, but I don't feel the difference.

M60 is way OP. Especially with Magnum Ammo, which you haven't unlocked it. I think you unlock Magnum Ammo at Rank 15. Once you get Magnum Ammo, M60 and x4 Optical Sight. The thing is practically a death machine. Point, click, boom.

Have you tried using it at long range with the ACOG? That's the difference. That it can almost literally be used as a sniper rifle..and better than most of the recon ones as well. And you don't have magnum ammo perk as well? Using that you'll really see a difference. You'll do 25% more damage with it. Ontop of that it has little to no recoil.

Singh beat me to it. :laugh:

So get to level 15, get the Magnum Ammo and 4x sight and pwn?

Basically. Once I got my platinum star for the M60, I stopped using it. I now only break it out to punish noobs who think they are awesome with the M60.

Seriously, there a much better guns out there...

  • XM8 Prototype
  • Stg.77 AUG
  • AN-94 Abakan
  • SCAR-L Carbine
  • XM8 Compact
  • AKS-74U Krinkov
  • PP-2000 Avtomat
  • M249 Saw
  • XM8 LMG

...just to name a few. The highlighted one is my current favourite/preferred weapon.

I personally dislike all the LMG's. That's the only group of weapons I haven't attained my 500 kills badge for yet. I prefer assault rifles and sniper rifles.

The fact that medics get weapons that they can literally just spray and pray with and not have to worry about running out of ammo before an assault guy is kind of really backwards to me.

I hear you. The Medic gun selection is way OP for a Medic role. I tend to play with the XM8 LMG on the rare occasion when I do play Medic.

And sniper rifles are gay and boring. Complete snooze fest. When I do play Recon, I tend to play with the WWII pistol and just run around with that. Sniper rifle selected is usually the GOL.

    • As I've been usually saying lately - we all can thank "AI" for this.
    • Friday Windows 11 preview builds are here. Insiders in the Experimental (formerly Dev) and Beta Channel can download builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690. My Windows11 device on the Preview Channel just got 26220.8728. My guess is this build is a nightly update from 26220.8690.
    • Traffic has a surprisingly unexpected impact on your surroundings by Sayan Sen Image by Radik 2707 via Pexels A collaborative study by researchers from several Israeli institutions found that everyday pollution from traffic and industrial activity measurably changed the atmospheric electric field over the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, providing new evidence of how human activity can influence the lower atmosphere. The research was led by Dr. Roy Yaniv of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Gertner Institute at Sheba Medical Center, Dr. Assaf Hochman of the Fredy & Nadine Herrmann Institute of Earth Sciences at the Hebrew University, and Prof. Yoav Yair of Reichman University. The study also involved Itay Froomer, a student from Hadera High School and the Israeli Museum of Medicine and Science (Technoda), who carried out the work as part of the Ministry of Education's 5-unit physics research track. The researchers focused on the atmospheric electric field under fair-weather conditions. Even in the absence of storms, a weak electric field naturally exists between Earth's surface and the atmosphere. One of the main ways scientists measure this field is through the Potential Gradient (PG), which is the inverse of the vertical component of the electric field. PG is a key part of the global electric circuit, a planet-wide system of electrical currents maintained by thunderstorms and electrified clouds around the world. Scientists have long known that the atmospheric electric field can be influenced by factors ranging from large-scale atmospheric processes to local weather conditions such as dust, fog and clouds. Human-made pollution is also known to play a role, but understanding exactly how urban emissions affect the electric field close to the ground has remained an area of ongoing research. To investigate this relationship, the team analyzed measurements from a newly installed electric field mill, an instrument used to continuously monitor the strength of the atmospheric electric field. The instrument was installed at the Center for Technological Education (Roter House) in Holon and became operational in August 2024. It was funded by Israel's Ministry of Education and the Holon municipality. The electric field mill forms part of a broader monitoring network that includes nearby meteorological stations and air-quality monitoring sites. This allowed researchers to compare electric field measurements with detailed weather data and pollution records to better understand what was driving changes in the Potential Gradient. The study focused on two major urban pollutants: fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), both commonly produced by vehicle traffic and industrial activity. PM2.5 refers to microscopic airborne particles small enough to remain suspended in the atmosphere for extended periods, while NOx is a group of gases released during fuel combustion. Researchers examined daily, weekly and seasonal patterns in the atmospheric electric field and compared them with changes in pollutant concentrations. Their analysis revealed a clear relationship between NOx levels and changes in the Potential Gradient, particularly during morning and evening rush hours when traffic emissions were at their highest. “What we observe is a direct physical link between emission peaks and electrical variability,” explained Dr. Roy Yaniv. “NOx reduces atmospheric conductivity very quickly, so the electric field responds almost instantaneously during traffic rush hours.” Atmospheric conductivity describes how easily electrical charges move through the air. According to the researchers, nitrogen oxides rapidly alter this conductivity, causing a near-immediate response in the electric field. PM2.5, however, was associated with a delayed response. The researchers attributed this difference to the particles' longer atmospheric residence time, meaning they remain in the atmosphere for longer periods, as well as their different microphysical interactions with surrounding air and atmospheric components. The study also identified a pronounced "weekend effect." In Israel, traffic volumes and some industrial activity decline significantly on Fridays and Saturdays. During these periods, concentrations of both NOx and PM2.5 dropped, and corresponding changes were observed in the atmospheric electric field. “The weekend signal demonstrates just how sensitive the electric field is to changes in human activity,” the researchers noted. “When emissions decline, the electrical environment adjusts at once, providing a high-resolution indicator of urban atmospheric conditions.” The findings showed that pollution levels can influence not only the chemical composition of the atmosphere but also its electrical properties. Researchers said the results strengthened the case for using atmospheric electricity as an additional tool for environmental monitoring, particularly in densely populated urban areas where anthropogenic, or human-caused, influences are most pronounced. The study also pointed to potential public health applications. By combining air-quality measurements with observations of atmospheric electricity, researchers said they could gain a more complete picture of how urban atmospheric conditions change over time. “Integrating air-quality data with electric-field measurements gives us a clearer picture of how the lower atmosphere evolves moment by moment,” the researchers added. “It’s a framework that can support both scientific insight and practical environmental decision-making.” Beyond the scientific findings, the project highlighted a collaboration between universities, public institutions and secondary education. Researchers said the work demonstrated how students could take part in real-world environmental research while contributing to studies of air quality, atmospheric processes and their potential effects on society.

    • We aren't even at the all-star game and Microsoft is talking about an update that will most likely be released during the World Series if not after. A lot can happen in the world between now and the 2026 World Series, including the 2026 FIFA Cup. Tell me about it again after the FIFA Cup is concluded. That should allow plenty of time to prepare for it.
    • Great, tell me when I have a "Bad Pool Caller" elsewhere not in Windoze.
