In CQC you have no need to scope. Surely, your aim should be good enough to deal with a few baddies at close range, without scoping?! x4 Scope all the way thumbs_up.gif

Obviously at some point I will have both and try them both, so we will see! cool.gif

The only time I use the 4x Rifle Scope is when I want to pick off people in the distance. For everything else, I use the iron sights or the RDS. It's just a matter of preference, really. :)

I like the 4x just because it makes it easier for me to use the Spotting feature. I know that it doesn't actually give you a tangible advantage when spotting (you need that specialization whose name I can't remember), but for some reason I find myself spotting a lot more when I have the 4x slapped on my gun. Having to fight in close quarters with the scope sucks though (or at least, I suck at it). I usually just end up hip firing and hope for the best.

Maybe I am missing it, but are there no options to save custom classes (similar to MW2)?

As far as I'm aware, there isn't a way to save your loadouts indefinitely. I'm not 100% sure though but I think the last update made it so that your loadout is saved between sessions.

I hate CQC with the 4x Rifle Scope. It feels like I have tunnel vision or something. :s
I have never used scope in CQC. Am I weird like that? Do you guys use x4 Scope when in CQC?

The game saves your last selection automatically now.

I do see my load it saved between sessions. I just wish I could setup for example, my F2000, with a certain sight, LW, and then something for the vehicle. Then, have my M16 setup with a different sight, extra ammo, and something else for vehicle. Than I could access those everytime I started the game up.

No biggie to be honest, just would be easier. Thanks again Anaron.

As you can see, I am starting to play the game more than I had in the past. I got burned out on MW2 finally.

I am talking about on the 360, and when you turn the system off when done playing, then back on and it would save your custom load outs for every weapon you have created.

Yeah I think it only remembers for a session, meaning once you turn the console on and off it will reset to default, but could be wrong there as I do not play it a whole lot.

Randomly posting stats, for the heck of it - Can't believe I actually got past 20 despite only playing for a 'short' time after launch and now haven't played for months.

A Month :p Game hasnt been out for Months(2 or more) :p.

Just picking on you man, but great stats. Ive put 50 or so hours and just hit 23 and half way to 24. Ill always play 1-2 hours a day. But with SC its like an hour BC2 and then 2-4 hours of SC

What's the online scene like for BC2? Has it dived as quickly as BC1 did? Just wondering as i'm thinking about picking this up soon :)

And depending on what system you want it for you can get it fairly cheap as well. I think there's a post in the PC games sales thread that says you can get it for like $17 or something.

@w33zy: Not having any firewall is very silly, especially if you're using the Internet, not just games. Gawd knows what viruses you may have.

Anyway, do you connect to the Internet via a router with a firewall?

    • AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A new driver is rolling out to Radeon graphics hardware owners, and alongside support for new games, AMD has just made its FSR 4.1 upscaling tech available to an entire generation of its products. Last month, AMD announced it is answering community requests to bring FSR 4.1 to past generations of its Radeon graphics cards. This would be starting with RDNA 3 RX 7000 products. Right on schedule, this is what's rolling out now with the AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 driver containing official support for over 300 games. Following this, AMD is planning to bring out RDNA 2 (RX 6000 series) support for FSR 4.1 sometime in early 2027. As for the games, this Adrenalin 26.6.2 driver is a recommended install for anyone jumping into Ubisoft's upcoming Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced remake or id Software's DOOM: The Dark Ages' Revelations expansion. The two fixed issues in this release are these: Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing RoadCraft on Radeon™ RX 7000 series products. Purple screen may be displayed when using an HP Reverb G2 headset with SteamVR on Radeon™ RX 6000 series graphics products. The known issues AMD is still working on are the following: Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing Battlefield 6 on AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. AMD is actively working on a resolution with the developer to be released as soon as possible. Texture flickering or corruption may appear while playing Battlefield 6 with AMD Record and Stream on some AMD graphics products. AMD FSR Upscaling and AMD FSR Frame Generation may show as inactive in AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition while playing Battlefield 6 when enabled on Radeon™ RX 9000 series graphics products. Failure to install may be observed while installing AI Bundle components in some regions with limited access to HuggingFace and GitHub. Model flickering or rendering failure may be observed in Maxon Cinema 4D and Blender on Radeon RX 7000 series and above graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1. Intermittent application crash may be observed on some models while running Blender on Radeon RX 7000 and above graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1. The newly released AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 driver is now available for download from the AMD Software app. Find the official changelog here.

    • Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken by Sayan Sen Microsoft is making some decent progress when it comes to Windows 11. Recently we have confirmed reports of some rather useful improvements landing in the next version of the OS, 26H2, wherein GPU driver TDR crashes may finally be fixed, plus the company is also allowing users to disable web content on the Search. On the Outlook front though things have not been so rosy. Last month in May we reported several problems affecting basic functionalities on the app. These included a problem where documents would open blank or corrupt themselves. Following that, Quick Steps, a very useful feature, would no longer work correctly, and finally, Microsoft acknowledged a problem wherein images would fail to load up properly inside the email. Microsoft had resolved those bugs later and almost exactly a month after we reported on them, the company has now admitted a new similarly basic issue, this time on Macs. Users recently started noticing that Outlook would no longer display email threads properly as the original message itself was not displayed. An affected user Tsoumpas, C (ngmb) nicely described the problem in a forum post they made on Microsoft's site. They wrote: "Description of the issue: After updating Outlook for Mac [Version 16.110 (26061317)] on 18/6/2026, replying to any email no longer includes the original message in the reply window. Prior to the update, replies correctly contained the original email text below my response. Expected behavior: The original message should be included in the reply, as in previous Outlook versions and according to the configured reply settings. Actual behavior: The reply window contains only a blank composition area (or only my response), with none of the original email text included." Obviously this must be a highly frustrating for users as noted by several in that thread. The post, at the time of writing, has also been upvoted by more than 40 users indicating that is a fairly widespread bug. Thankfully Microsoft seems to have acknowledged the problem right around that time as it opened a new issue on its official website. In the support article, the company recommends switching to Outlook for Mac from the legacy app, where the problem appears to be happening.
