I really cant see why the m60 is band on the server :wacko: the m60 is as much as a problem as the cg, or 40mm grenade. And to me banning the m60 just says "i cant play the game", i used to see it as a problem but now i don't, just see it as a part of the game, and plus if i happen to be against a team full of m60 medics, i just destroy them with the cg, its even better when they revive each other, get multikills then :)

No, it isn't like that all. These aren't noob server admins. The M60 will be the only weapon that is forbidden.

That's against the EA server ROE - very likely to get their server shut down:

2. RULES AND POLICIES FOR ALL SERVER ADMINISTRATORS MANAGING RANKED SERVERS (PUBLIC OR PRIVATE)

These are rules and policies that all people running ranked servers are expected to observe. Failure to do so can result in the server being delisted.

(...)

2.3.1 Disallowed “In-House” Ranked Server Rules:

Server Administrators may not implement or enforce server rules on ranked servers that prohibit players from using any roles, kits, weapons, vehicles or other features of the game while playing on their server (...)

I don't have a problem with the grenade launcher or Carl Gustav. It's the damn M60. Ever play against a team full of M60 Medics? Worst. Game. Ever. You kill one or two and get mowed down by the rest and watch as the two guys you just killed get revived. If anything, EA/DICE should nerf the M60.

My favorite mode to play in the game is SQDM. You guys are not alone.

probably because we are call of duty players

carl gustav is a ****...

and speaking of kits, assault needs an m4, an ak47 or at least more guns to unlock...

hardcore SQDM servers are my fave. love no crosshair too. It's ridiculous how good i am at killing people at stupid far distances with the gernade launcher with no crosshair....

Had some good games tonight, about 20 kills from getting my Platinum Star on the AN-94 Abakan (Y)

The cheater/hackers accusers are out in force it seems now. Had accusations thrown my way twice now, in as many weeks. That sort of gets to me.

I can't stand getting blown up randomly by those two things :( M60 I can stand because at least I have a chance to do something about it.

Baddies are always jealous when someone can do well not using a well known overpowered weapon. That +muno+ person has twice as many kills with the 40mm gl than anything else, and more time with it than any other weapon as well.

Yeah, whenever I notice that a team I'm on is getting steam rolled I always ask in the all chat how many medics are on the other team. The typical response is someone stating that we should stop using cg's or the gl. Fight fire with fire I guess. :sleep:

Anyways, the M60 will be dealt with hopefully early this next week. We can hope! :wacko:

You know you're hated in BC2 when you have a platinum star for the Carl Gustav.

Or the M60whistle.gif

What if I have both :whistle: :p

TBH the constant whining about overpowered weapons that each class has is getting pretty annoying. For me at least. And regarding the M60, I do hope they'll make it less accurate because sniping with it (and shotguns...) is stupid, but weaken as well? Psh, other classes have one-hit-kill weapons...

I kind of lost interest in this a while back, same maps and same crap unfortunately. Looking forward to maybe picking it back up after this break with the new Catalyst drivers which should alleviate my loading issues.

when are the new drivers going to be released?

Just play in dx9, with the newest drivers you can force aa in dx9 so its basically as good as dx10.

10.4b didnt fix my dx10 loading times so I switched to dx9 yesterday and forced aa, now I loud in like 10 seconds vs 40.

Because in DX9 there's graphics anomalies, who want that? ( Smoke issues etc. )

Tried playing once in DX9 and the flickering trees, sky, ground, every other texture was enough to give me a headache after 5 minutes so I gave up and stuck with the long load times.

@Churchonsundays The drivers should be available within the next week or so.

This is actually the first time I've heard a lot of hate towards the Carl Gustav. Personally, I've never considered it to be much a problem, but maybe I've just lucked out and never ran into a CG spammer.

The M60 on the other hand needs to be fixed. You know there's a problem when a Medic has the most powerful weapon in the game and they can snipe with it. I'm torn with regards to the 40 mm grenades, though. While I've never considered them to be that bad, I'm clearly in the minority on that one. Maybe tone them down so that only a direct hit can kill with full health (as opposed to hitting a wall close to an enemy and killing them even though they have full health).

I get flickering ground pretty rarely (only when I'm dead) and I don't get flickering trees and sky at all.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.

    • All versions is correct. The bug appears on any version of Windows with KB5094126 installed. It's a little insane to expect the author to explain that systems that can't possibly have that patch installed, will not experience the bug. If you have any gripe about the title, it would be that it doesn't mention the update at all, but I wouldn't agree with that either. A title is not expected to be a full summery of the article.
