Why people still prefer aiming with a lousy controller compared to a keyboard and my highly accurate Razer gaming mouse, I still can't understand

I can't either. Trying to aim and hit someone using a gamepad is often times more frustrating than it is fun. Especially if you or the target(or both of you) are moving. Then it only gets worse.

But..it's like if it takes you 3 seconds to aim the crosshair to an enemy using the joystick, I can do it in a blink of an eye with a mouse biggrin.gif Oh well, never mind lol I think this debate is never ending anyway

LOL 3 seconds. If that were true for me, I wouldn't game on console for sure.

I have taken a break from getting platinum stars and started to use my old and very trusted friend the AN-94 Abakan. It tears through anything. The screenshots below says it all (3x Combat Excellence Pins ? 8 kills in a row)

Somebody recommend me a shotgun, all the ones I have tried suck.

Uh...yeah? You can't use mines effectively if you're on a hill 3 spawn zones back. Is there something wrong with using mines? It's sort of the entire purpose of the class.. And you didn't notice all the other badges such as marksman's head shots and nemesis pins?

What's with the negative attitude? Why do people post just to be rude? Oh, right...the internet. :unsure:

It's kind of funny, most people hate recon because they sit far back to preserve their KDR and everyone gets mad at them for not using motion mines. And yet I show a screen shot of me effectively playing the recon class to it's fullest and this guy some how finds a problem with that..? :wacko:

I have platinum with the 40mm grenade launcher. But but but but, I also have platinum with the XM8, M416, An-94, and M16, and 8 gold stars going on 9 with the AUG. It's justified. :whistle:
Started on my platinum with the AUG. And it is horrible inaccurate, and it just doesn?t seem to have the stopping power as the other assault guns. Basically it is a glorified stick :D
How to properly play the recon class:

As for shotguns, I've always liked the 870. It works good for me.

Indeed, that is how to properly play the recon class (Y) I only play it now and then, and I still run around like a headless chicken in a wookie suit. Those of the kind of scores I get playing assault (:wub: AN-94)

Probably the best game mode. SQDM is near on perfect, but they had to go and **** it up by putting a tank in there.

I'm not entirely sure the accuracy stat shown there is uh..well..accurate. If you notice it says I had 34 kills with the m24 out of 35, but I also have an explosive pin which is 4+ kills. So yeah.. and there's no way I shot anything near 205 rounds with the m24 as well. That would be emptying my ammo reserve at least 10 times. And I didn't. Killed a few with pistol kills as well but didn't get any pins for that.

Maybe overall accuracy? I really don't think that screen reflects very well weapon stats for the game.

27% accuracy with a sniper? Proper?biggrin.gif

Damn right. Yes he was scoring kills, but he was also dealing damage to enemies. It is much better to deal as much damage as you can and spot them. Than to chase one kill - which most snipers tend to do. Usually when I am sniping (on the rare occasion). As long as I deal some damage and they are spotted I leave them for my team mates near the area to finish off. And lets face it, as soon as someone gets spotted they don't last long at all.

As a sniper, I go for the spotting and one shot head shot.

The most kills stat is calculated from the time you started to play on that server, and not in a specific round. So, from the time you've joined the server your most kills were made with the M24.

I don't think so. Cause if that was the case there'd be end round screens that would show my most kills as being with a weapon i didn't even use that round. Which has never happened.

On another note...: Any and all games completely dropping on the chance that EA's servers randomly die... Is the worst game design decision i have seen in a long time.

Had some brilliant games last night. Ran into a clan by the name of X-Ray. They were really good. I could just about hold my own in a 1v1. Really pushed us to play our best 100% of the time. No goofing around with tagging friends with tracer darts last night I tell you.

We lost every match against them (they made all the difference, the rest of their team were random pubbers) but still awesome games (Y)

Would also like to mention that someone I ran into a couple of weeks who decided to make sport of me, got banned yesterday for an aimbot :rofl: Muuhahahahahahahahaha :D

      I agree with what I think you are saying, just not in the way you are saying it. Like any tool, the amount it represents your work is perorational to the effort you put into it. It is similar to why 2nd grade math students learning to add and subtract are not allowed to use calculators, but a high-school calculous student is. For the 2nd grader, that tool would completely replace the work they are doing, for the calculous student the same tool allows them to work far more effectively while in no way replacing their effort or knowable. If you spend 30 seconds writing a prompt, then the image that comes out is no more "yours" than if you found the same image with a Google Image search. However, many of these generative tools also support highly iterative processes that allow back and forth, and merging generated images with photos or human created images. I am sure you would agree that a human spending hours of time working on a project, even if AI was involved in the process, still reflects that human's work.

    • We now know when and how the Universe may truly end

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I've always preferred this possibility. There is something that feels good about the idea that all matter in the universe will eventually come back together and maybe even result in another big bang. The idea that the universe would fizzle out over the eons and forever drift apart is a little depressing. I realize it is not logical to let a basic human desire for life to have a grand everlasting meaning change the way I feel about a scientific theory, but I am human, so that is how I feel :-).
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs

      By Jdoe25 · Posted

      Windoze 11 could finally go to hell, instead of making me savor yet another error I've never had. "Bad Pool Caller" or whatever TF cryptic crap0la message it is. Adding salt to injury, it says something along these lines (on the blank black screen after it hard stops): "Your windoze needs to restart. You can restart." NO WAY SHERLOCK. The PEECEE, look, it's *blocked*, I can do jack sh1t with it as it is and you say that it needs to restart? Further, that I can restart? What am I supposed to do, take a herbal bath? Sudo a sandwich? Timewaster pile of useless slop and errors, coded by monkeys and force-fed on us by a pedo-founded corporation, that's all there is to it. Now, let's have a fun weekend trying to handle the error, which after a quick internet check can basically be due to EVERYTHING, from memory faults to drivers to motherboard issues. Thanks M$.
    • Zen Browser 1.21.3b

      Zen Browser 1.21.3b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly.
