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 will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      This seems backwards. You should have to explicitly authorize files for outside use. It shouldn't be the default.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      Wow you are right, I never even noticed this until you said it! (870E Aorus Master) Before testing this card I had a TP-Link tx401 10GbE PCIe card in that slot (now using XikeStor 310 Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter).

      Lack of 5.1 makes this a no sale. What I really wish creative would make would be a USB version that supports 5.1 analog audio for speakers, can switch to headphone mode, and matches the specs of their top tier cards. The current X870E AMD motherboards dont have a great option for adding a PCIE x1 card without cutting down pcie lanes to the graphics card.
    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot by Usama Jawad I have been actively using Microsoft Word for the past couple of decades in academic, professional, and personal capacities. Although I used it through the perpetual version of Office apps at the start, I have been an active subscriber of Microsoft 365 Family subscription for over five years now. This means that my Word installation is regularly updated with new features, some of which I don't really like, but that's beside the point. As new features get continuously added, old ones that used to be a staple of Word have started to take a backseat. While I was reminiscing over my Windows experiences from my childhood today, I suddenly remember one such capability that I heavily used in my younger years but have not really touched in over a decade, and haven't seen in documents created by others either. That feature is WordArt. Just to clarify, WordArt is not a Microsoft product specific to Word, and is included in other Office apps like PowerPoint and Excel too. However, Microsoft Word is the app that I used Word Art in heavily, while making assignments or other deliverables for school. If you're unaware, WordArt offers a collection of styling techniques for text, introducing 3D effects like shadows and reflections in the text. It used to be one of the coolest things ever when I was at school and me and my classmates would often compete to ensure that our assignment's title in WordArt was truly the best and stood out above the rest. See some examples of WordArt, still present in the latest versions of Word below: Although WordArt is undeniably cool, it has taken a bit of a backseat, and has been relegated from the Home tab to the Insert toolbar, along with a bunch of other utilities, making it very easy to miss. This isn't exactly surprising because WordArt doesn't really have a place in academic and professional documents anymore, and while I have seen some creatives using it while developing promo material, even that sector has gravitated more towards dedicated graphic designing tools in the past years. For the vast majority of us, WordArt doesn't really exist, and that's alright. At least, it's still an option that can allow us to reminisce our childhood or even make some quick text stylization, if we really need it. Perhaps its usage has waned over time or the novelty has worn off, but I haven't even seen children use it in their academic assignments anymore. In fact, many don't even know that it exists. Maybe that's the fate of every beloved feature. What once felt cutting edge eventually becomes a relic, quietly tucked away as tastes, trends, and technology move on. WordArt may no longer dominate school assignments or decorate the covers of classroom projects, but for those of us who grew up with it, it remains a colorful reminder of a time when making text glow, bend, and cast giant shadows felt like the height of creativity. Hidden behind a few clicks in modern Word, it still survives not as a productivity tool, but as a small piece of computing nostalgia that refuses to disappear.
