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.

    • I think there will be a 27H1 for actual users of 26H1 The 25h2 supports ARM too : Snapdragon X, Snapdragon X Plus and Snapdragon X Elite
    • Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe After years of waiting, Rockstar will be solidifying the launch date of Grand Theft Auto VI with the launch of pre-orders next week. While the studio has confirmed a date for this occasion, it is yet to attach a price to the highly anticipated game. So let's see what our readers think it will cost at launch. The Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will kick off on June 25 for digital and physical editions. Unless some last-minute changes happen, the release date will be November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Unfortunately, there's still no information about a PC version from the developer or the publisher Take-Two. Now the question becomes, how much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost at launch? The game is predicted by some analysts to be the biggest launch of an entertainment product ever. With the amount of hype that has been built behind it and with ballooning development costs, Take-Two may price this Grand Theft Auto entry differently from other AAA titles. The current price of a AAA game is $69.99. That norm almost rose to $79.99 before calming down. But with such a massive release, Grand Theft Auto VI may be the game that pushes the boundary again. It's also possible that Take-Two keeps the price relatively low to increase the number of players that jump in early and keep them hooked on Grand Theft Auto Online to spend on microtransactions for years to come. Keep in mind that the below poll is asking for a prediction of the standard edition price, not a deluxe or any other special edition that Take-Two will introduce for additional benefits. Also, there is also the chance of the company splitting up the campaign and online portions. If you think that will happen, put your vote on what you think will be the total cost of the two. Poll Poll: How much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost? $59.99 $69.99 $79.99 $89.99 $100 or more Submit Vote If you have a very specific prediction in mind, sound off in the comments below.

    • The Light of Life? We actually do glow till our Death, study finds by Sayan Sen Image by Rafael Rendon via Pexels A study by researchers at the University of Calgary has found that living organisms produce an extremely faint light known as ultraweak photon emission, and that this glow appears to drop significantly after death. The research was published in the Journal of Physical Chemistry in April 2025 and quickly drew widespread attention, leading to more than 200 news stories about the findings. Ultraweak photon emission (or UPE), sometimes called biophoton emission, refers to tiny amounts of light released by living cells as a result of normal biological activity. A photon is the basic particle of light, and researchers say every living system examined so far, including plants and animals, has been found to emit these photons. The glow is far too faint to be seen by the human eye. “I suppose it has a little to do with people being reminded of auras,” says Dr. Christoph Simon, PhD, one of the authors of the study and a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy in the Faculty of Science. “It is a fact that living beings glow. It’s a very weak glow, but it’s there and visible with very sensitive cameras.” According to the study, the light involved is extremely weak, ranging from 10 to 1,000 photons per square centimetre per second across a spectral range of 200 to 1,000 nanometres. For comparison, a nanometre is one-billionth of a metre and is commonly used to measure wavelengths of light. Detecting emissions at such low levels requires highly specialized equipment. To study the phenomenon, researchers used electron-multiplying charge-coupled device (EMCCD) and charge-coupled device (CCD) cameras. These imaging systems are designed to detect extremely small amounts of light, including individual photons, while minimizing background noise. The technology allowed researchers to capture signals that would otherwise be impossible to observe. The team worked with the Human Health Therapeutics Research Centre at the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) in Ottawa to examine photon emissions in mice. Researchers took two-hour exposure images of the animals before and after death and compared the results. “We saw that the level of light that they emit – this biophoton glow – is distinctly different between living and dead animals,” says Dr. Daniel Oblak, PhD, an associate professor in Physics and Astronomy and the corresponding author of the study. The images showed a clear decrease in photon emissions after death across the entire body of each mouse. According to the researchers, this provided direct evidence that living and dead tissue produce different levels of ultraweak photon emission. “It’s a very small amount and it’s, of course, very tricky to detect,” Oblak says. The study grew out of discussions between Simon, whose research interests include quantum biology, and Oblak, whose work focuses on detecting light for quantum communication experiments. Quantum biology is a field that explores whether processes described by quantum physics, which studies matter and energy at very small scales, may also play a role in living systems. “Since I work as a quantum physicist on light detection for quantum communication, I thought that experimentally we have a lot of the tools to be able to detect the light,” Oblak explains. The researchers also investigated UPE in plants and found that the light changed in response to stress. When plants were exposed to higher temperatures or physically injured, their photon emissions increased. Chemical treatments also affected the glow. Among the substances tested, the local anesthetic benzocaine produced the strongest emission response when applied to injured plant tissue. These findings suggest that ultraweak photon emission is closely linked to biochemical and metabolic activity inside living organisms. Metabolism refers to the chemical reactions that allow cells and organisms to stay alive and function. Because these reactions change when an organism experiences stress, injury or disease, researchers believe UPE may provide a way to monitor those changes. The researchers stress that the glow is a physical and biological phenomenon, not a metaphysical one. Oblak says more research is needed to understand exactly how the light is produced and what information it may reveal about the condition of living tissue. “We must understand what that is to figure out what’s happening,” he says. “If we can understand how that relates to certain influences on the body – stress, diseases – then that could be used as a diagnostic tool.” The researchers believe the technique could eventually help scientists study health and disease without invasive procedures. Because UPE can be measured without adding dyes, markers or labels, it may offer a way to monitor whether tissue is healthy, damaged or alive. In plants, it could help researchers better understand how organisms respond to injury, heat and other forms of stress. While the work is still in its early stages, the study demonstrates that ultraweak photon emission imaging can provide a non-invasive and label-free way to observe biological activity. Researchers say the approach could become a useful tool for studying vitality, stress responses and other important processes in both animals and plants.
