I'm not afraid of dying too but playing Rambo-style gets boring quickly. You die, wait X seconds, and respawn only to die again. When I play, I usually go all out when planting or defusing an M-COM. In Conquest mode, I take my sweet time and rack up a lot of kills.

Sure that might happen but with me, I'll take at least 3 baddies down with me, and then I die. And then depending on my team mates (who are either dumb as **** or well organized co-ordinate players take your pick) we we get the objective.
Bring a decent medic then. :p
+1 to this. Nothing like dying, getting rez'd, and dishing out some revenge kills :D

Finally unlocked the m95 the other day, and my god its awesome, normally i suck at snipping on this, but first time i used the m95, racked up 10 kills in a few minutes, i dont know why so many people use the Gol, m95 is so much better i find, pretty much 1 shot kill

There was an awesome suggestion a few pages back about using the tracer gun on teammates who are annoying you. Just shoot them right in the face, and the dart completely obscures their vision. I haven't tried this myself, though. Nobody has made me angry enough to try... yet :).

I was playing Recon and had someone do that to me. But I don't think he realized it was a team killing allowed server. So I just pointed my sniper at him and killed him. You'd think a decision like that (to kill a team mate) would come back to hurt you. But nothing happened.

The Gol is way more accurate and faster to aim. I find damage on sniper rifles is moot for the most part because when I'm playing recon with a sniper rifle I'm going for head shots anyways, and that's 1 shot 1 kill.

I prefer the accuracy of the GOL, M95 is good, but the GOL is better in my opinion.

So you decided to TK him? Yeah, I wouldn't have stood for that, I would have TKed you back.

Same. As a recon player I always go for the head shot unless I see someone that has just taken fire, then I hit them anywhere. Because of this the Gol is my choice of weapons.

Hell yes. I am not scared of dying, unlike 98% of players who play this game. I quit shortly after that game, when I found 4 team members just staring at an armed M-COM station, all too scared to disarm it because of dying. I HATE and I really do mean HATE players that are scared to die, and worry about their K/D ratio.

Agreed

He wanted to grief me by blocking my view. Everywhere I looked there was this bright red glow that obstructed my vision. So obviously I killed him for being such a jerk. Had he not done anything to me he wouldn't of had to sit out the game for 10 seconds or however long the respawn was. And he never TK'd me back because I doubt he remembered who did it.

If people want to play Recon, just let them, don't be a jerk about it and try to stick trackers to there faces and things.

Every time I decide to use a shotgun everyone goes really far away from me and pistols/handguns aren't as good as people with machine guns and whatnot....

Throw on the 12 gage mod. Its like sniping. :p

I also should note i play only in hardcore now. So shottys are 1 hit kills.

I play Rush all the time. Played a few SQDM games before and it was really fun.

We should have a Neowin 360 game night one day, but a lot of people here seem to have it on PC...if only they could do that 360->PC connectivity again...That's be great!

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
    • I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
