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.

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.

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?

      I agree with what I think you are saying, just not in the way you are saying it. Like any tool, the amount it represents your work is perorational to the effort you put into it. It is similar to why 2nd grade math students learning to add and subtract are not allowed to use calculators, but a high-school calculous student is. For the 2nd grader, that tool would completely replace the work they are doing, for the calculous student the same tool allows them to work far more effectively while in no way replacing their effort or knowable. If you spend 30 seconds writing a prompt, then the image that comes out is no more "yours" than if you found the same image with a Google Image search. However, many of these generative tools also support highly iterative processes that allow back and forth, and merging generated images with photos or human created images. I am sure you would agree that a human spending hours of time working on a project, even if AI was involved in the process, still reflects that human's work.

    • We now know when and how the Universe may truly end

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I've always preferred this possibility. There is something that feels good about the idea that all matter in the universe will eventually come back together and maybe even result in another big bang. The idea that the universe would fizzle out over the eons and forever drift apart is a little depressing. I realize it is not logical to let a basic human desire for life to have a grand everlasting meaning change the way I feel about a scientific theory, but I am human, so that is how I feel :-).
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs

      By Jdoe25 · Posted

      Windoze 11 could finally go to hell, instead of making me savor yet another error I've never had. "Bad Pool Caller" or whatever TF cryptic crap0la message it is. Adding salt to injury, it says something along these lines (on the blank black screen after it hard stops): "Your windoze needs to restart. You can restart." NO WAY SHERLOCK. The PEECEE, look, it's *blocked*, I can do jack sh1t with it as it is and you say that it needs to restart? Further, that I can restart? What am I supposed to do, take a herbal bath? Sudo a sandwich? Timewaster pile of useless slop and errors, coded by monkeys and force-fed on us by a pedo-founded corporation, that's all there is to it. Now, let's have a fun weekend trying to handle the error, which after a quick internet check can basically be due to EVERYTHING, from memory faults to drivers to motherboard issues. Thanks M$.
    • Zen Browser 1.21.3b

      By Copernic · Posted

      Zen Browser 1.21.3b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly. Vertical Tabs: Manage tabs vertically. Container Tabs: Separate browsing sessions. Fast Profile Switcher: Switch between profiles easily. Tab Folders: Organize tabs into folders. Customizable UI: Personalize browser interface. Security Features: Inherits Firefox’s robust security. Fast Performance: Lightweight and optimized for speed. Zen Mods Customization: Deep customization with mods. Quick Access: Easy access to favorite websites. Open Source: Built on Mozilla Firefox with community collaboration. Community-Driven: Active development and feedback from users. GitHub Repository: Contribute and review the source code. Zen Browser 1.21.3b changelog: New Features Updated to Firefox 152.0.1 Fixes Fixed transparency not working after updating to 1.21.2b (#14259) Fixed frequent crashes affecting users with Intel Raptor Lake processors Fixed an issue on macOS where choosing a PDF option, such as "Save as PDF", from the system print dialog would send the job to your printer instead of saving a file.
