It's my understanding that they were looking for more and more realism. The weapons, including their sound, their kick, their graphics, and even reproducing the bullet drop over long distances.

But here nor there, I would have found prone (a common stance in shooters) to be a welcome option. Not that I don't see some good reasons to NOT have it, but I have reasons that I do want it.

Fair enough. If you want it you want it. I am with Sethos though on this one.

Also just to address what you said, I think DICE saying what you referenced above about the weapons, from the point of view of someone who has played the series since inception, is that it sounds more like marketing gimmick talk than anything else. "The most realistic sounding guns in any video game!" "Real Life Gun Textures!!" It all sounds catchy. I cannot help but think they were touting those aspects more from a WOW factor than they are an integral aspect of our game factor. I could be wrong though who knows.

Anyways... fixed my problem. God damn server browser had some how got an X on ranked server filter. What a stupid system they have in place. It's so confusing. All that trouble for 1 little X. :blush:

Good to hear. But I definitely have to agree. I am not a fan of the new server system whatsoever.

Not everyone is the same or will agree on everything. That is what is beautiful about being human. It's all good. I respect your desire to not have prone.

Has anyone tried tank/vehicle flying?

Me and my mate tried it the other day, was hilarious, you just find (or make a crater) and fill it with mines and c4, then drive a tank or jeep (i find they're the best) into the crater and get sum1 to chuck a grenade into it. And since a teammate is in the vehicle it doesn't blow up (until it lands) so goes flying into the sky across the map (into an enemy base if you judge it right)

Whatever the case, it's not really clear what options do what. The filter options pre patch were more clear.

yeah i agree, it took a little bit to see how they were doing it... The problem is that they just stuffed more options into little space, not really re-doing anything.

Rambo medics and cg spamming engineers are really starting to get old. The thing that bugs me about this game the most is that those are the only 2 classes you need and it's GG game over.

I just got out of a game where literally, it was about 50/50 medic engineers on opposite team. And they all have to say that we got owned/raped by their no talent skill less asses. I guess they honestly think they're good at the game playing only those 2 classes? It's really frustrating to say the least. It's just an endless barrage of carl gustav spam with revives whenever someone is killed.

CG needs a set up time and medic revive needs a longer cool down. That's the only way to fix it, imo. 2-3 seconds on the cg and 10+ seconds for the revive.

Had massive session tonight. Finally got platinum on my M16A2 (Y) Started working on the XM8 Prototype, already up to 5 gold stars :D

Also ran into some idiot by the name of :Scorch:, who was threatening to ban me because I dared to answer back to him. I spoke to the admin later on, and they have now kicked him out of the clan :rofl:

@Singh400: you will always get ******s like those in games and life. Just get them banned and let it go. I use to react and shut them up hard. Now I laugh everytime they type and they shut up haha.
Yeah managed to get them banned from three servers so far. I have been meaning to report them to DiCE/EA, just haven't got round to it.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
