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.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
