I had a game like that a couple of days ago, conquest panama map, roof top at C point, knifed a pair of recons on my way up the stairs, when I got to the roof there were 4 more recons who were spread out with their backs to me, I knifed them all lol

Finally got some more Platinum Stars - the XM8 Compact and PP (Y) Got 3 altogether, the other being the M60. Which has now been banned on my favourite server. And everyone loves that rule (Y)

Technically though no server can ban any guns use. They better be careful because if someone wants to be a jackass they can report the server to EA. And if it happens enough times..

That's only if it's a ranked server though. Which most are.

how the hell do you ban a gun :/ Just kick people who use it. I'd to ban the tanks on my server (our server mainly plays Squad Team Deathmatch) but i don't think the other admins will allow it haha

I tried the M60 with the special ammo you guys said and the 4x zoom and it sucked. Way too much recoil for me. :no:
You are doing it wrong. Try burst fire ;)

When you join the server, you get a welcome message as well as a message saying the use of the M60 is prohibted. Anyone caught using the M60 will be issued a warning, continued usage results in kick/ban. Been on it for most of the day, and it works perfect. In fact I would say all the players appreciated it.

Anybody else getting terrible performance lately? I haven't played 2 weeks and now the game just feels GFX laggy :blink:

The only change I made was to update to the Catalyst 10.4 Beta BC2 loading hotfix driver...

CPU: Phenom I x4 9850 BE @ 2.5ghz

RAM: 3GB 800mhz DDR2

GFX: XFX Radeon HD5770 1GB GDDR5

OS: Win7 32bit

Settings all high @ 1920x1080, 1x AA 1x AF HBBAO = off V-Sync = off

Used to run buttersmooth before....

Regardless, if someone wants to cause a stink they can. But there are other servers so it shouldn't even be a problem for anyone. Just letting you know that if someone wants to cause trouble they can.

I don't use the m60, or even play medic anyways. :laugh:

Lol ulot are so bad at the game. I got all those fancy badges when I rented the game for 5days from LoveFilm.

How can you be level 21 and just get the Nemesis Badge... :blink:

We can't all be pro like you. Teach us how to be good please.

yeah right, i still dont got nemesis badge yet and im rank 24, not to be fancy but i can play fps game pretty well.

I downloaded the game off of Steam yesterday.

Needless to say, it has been a while since I've played a shooter like this on the computer (Team Fortress 2 is my other MP game on the comp). My KD ratio is about 0.8 at this point, I'm hoping I can get it above 1 once I get the hang of the game. I love it so far, though. :)

I don't even worry about KD ratio anymore... on any game. I just go into it having fun.

First, I'm getting older so my twitch skills can't really compete with the 18 year old.

Secondly, sometimes suicide is fun. In TF2, I go by Kamikaze Pyro. Guess which class

I play. :)

So Burst fire with 4x or what?

I won't be using the combo forever, I just want to test it. I have used the M60 by itself with no-addons and I pwn with it anyways.

I think there's issues with the current R9 server files, Punkbuster, and the Play Now! button not populating servers like it should. The few games I've been in this week the servers has been really full.

I'm kind of taking a break from the game until the patch that comes out hopefully next week though. I really hope this isn't true but I heard (no sources) that the M16 and AN-94 are going to be nerfed along with the M60 and M1911. There's absolutely no reason for that if it's true. On the other hand, on one of the dev's twitters I read that all assault rifles will have their damage drop off range extended. Be interesting to see what the patch does this next week.

Are less and less people playing this game these days? I joined multiple matches yesterday, and many times there was only like 2-4 people total playing on the map. Every map was like ghost town.

There's been a problem with the xbla servers with matchmaking. Dice hasn't updated us on this yet

Yeah x4, Magnum Ammo styled with burst fire. Obviously you need to do some work, like aim for the head. Hell even in CQC you don't need to go scope. Just spray, 100 clip of ammo lasts for ages mate.

R9 caused some major problems. Like random lagging and rubberbanding. But past few days, all my regular servers have been packed!

I'm having no issues finding games.

I'm having issues finding games without a lot of flamewh0res and noob tube spammers though. I can appreciate using 40mm grenades for clearing buildings but when you're in tight spaces and someone pops a 40mm at you :wacko:

What's your gamertag/EA ID then?

    • First time clicking on a Sayan Sen article after he started making clickbait, vague headlines recently. Didn't read, just came here to say the headline doesn't look like very cheap, vague clickbait this time. Are you okay?
    • Good review, and yeah the benchmark breakdown is pretty clear but also a little messy in a good way. It’s kinda interesting to see where the RX 9070 GRE slides in between the 7800 XT and the 9070 XT , especially when it comes to AI tasks and Blender style workloads. The side by side with Nvidia’s RTX 5070 and 4070 makes it feel obvious just how competitive the mid range GPU scene has gotten lately, and that’s great for creators and gamers too since you can pick based on your priorities rather than only chasing one single thing.
    • That's it. I finally uninstalled Firefox because they often keep pushing buggy updates, only to test them later and make users suffer. No longer is it my alternative browser to Edge. What a waste of energy. Firefox is bad for the environment, just like Chrome (wasting RAM/energy).
    • Microsoft Weekly: new Surface, Windows 11 26H2, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing Windows 11 version 26H2, launching new Surface devices powered by Snapdragon X2 processors, GTA VI preorder date and cover art, fresh Windows 11 preview builds, a quirky phone-sized e-reader with a physical dial, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. Windows 11 version 26H2 is now official. Alongside Windows 11's new preview builds released this week, Microsoft confirmed version 26H2, which is coming later this year as an enablement package based on the same platform as versions 24H2 and 25H2. A newly published blog post details what IT admins should do to prepare for the upcoming launch. Next, we have new Windows 11 bugs. Users report that this month's security updates for Windows 11 cause all sorts of issues, including BitLocker bugs, OneDrive issues, black screens of death, and third-party integration in Office apps. Microsoft has not confirmed those yet, but it acknowledged other issues with its operating system. What Microsoft has confirmed is a bug where Recycle Bin delete prompts display internal file names instead of actual ones, and a year-old Windows JScript compatibility bug caused by security-focused engine changes. Moving to more positive news, Microsoft and Adobe are working on improving Windows performance in popular creative apps like Photoshop. Thanks to SPGO optimizations, users can expect up to 20% better performance. Finally, we have a few useful articles that can help you recover your PC or make it perform better. For one, we published a guide detailing what to do if your computer cannot boot after a clean Windows 11 install. There are two important steps you can try to get your system back to working in no time. Additionally, there is a more detailed guide on various CPU performance modes that could notably improve performance. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Builds 28120.2315 and 29613.1000 These two builds include a new built-in audio driver, improvements to audio Settings, and more. Dev Channel Builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690 Not much is available here. Some File Explorer improvements, Start menu enhancements, bug fixes, and more. However, build 26300.8697 is now officially marked as version 26H2. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. This week, Microsoft announced its newest Surface devices powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon X2 processors. There is the 12th-gen Surface Pro and the 8th-gen Surface Laptop. Both devices feature little to no visual differences compared to their predecessors from 2024, and most changes hide inside, including a better processor, faster graphics, enhanced NPUs, and more. The Surface Laptop also received a new haptic trackpad. Mozilla is currently working on a major Firefox redesign, and earlier this week, it published a roadmap of upcoming features and highlights of the upcoming "Project Nova" rework. Files, one of the best file managers for Windows 10 and 11, has been updated in the Preview channel with a long-requested feature. Tree View is finally available in version 4.1.4, allowing you to quickly browse deeply nested folders without leaving the main view. In addition, the update improved the Windows Fonts folder, allowing you to preview each font without opening the default viewer. Rufus, another useful Windows 11 utility, also received a notable update. Version 4.15 arrived as beta with important fixes for silent Windows 11 installation. It also includes patches for ARM-based Windows PCs, OneDrive removal improvements, and more. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: Microsoft faces shareholder lawsuit over masking AI costs and slowing Azure growth Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: NVIDIA 610.62 with support for Empulse and various fixes. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Earlier this week, we reviewed the DuRoBo Krono, a portable, phone-sized e-reader with some interesting physical controls. This device has an Apple Watch-like dial for page turning, frontlight adjustment, and more. Software is simple and no-nonsense, but it also lacks some useful features and customization. Overall, the device proved interesting, but not flawless. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. Forza Horizon 6 received two big updates this week. Alongside the Series 2 content update, developers pushed plenty of bug fixes and balancing tweaks. However, they also had to acknowledge the Eliminator CR-farming exploit and shut down the online mode temporarily. Luckily, only a few days later, another fix arrived, which re-enabled Eliminator and patched the exploit. Microsoft announced new games for Game Pass subscribers. Those include EA Sports FC 26, Junkster, Call of Duty: Vanguard, Abyssus, RV There Yet?, and more. Some existing games are leaving the catalog, so be sure to check out the full list here. New games are also available for GeForce NOW subscribers, and they include Embers of the Uncrowned Demo, Aphelion, Megastore Simulator, OPERATOR, Citizen Sleeper, and more. Rockstart Games had plenty of GTA-related news this week. For one, the company gave GTA V players another free update. Those still playing the game on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are no longer required to pay $40 to upgrade to the latest-gen version. More importantly, Rockstar Games revealed the GTA VI cover art and announced the preorder date. The Epic Games Store is giving away two games: Citizen Sleeper and Roboeat.
