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?

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By zikalify · Posted

      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?
