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

      The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release by Usama Jawad Windows 11 typically follows an annual update cycle, but Microsoft recently broke that tradition a bit by releasing a "26H1" version in the first half of this year as a "scoped" build for select new silicon PCs only. This version was not available for customers using 24H2 and 25H2 builds, as Microsoft is busy preparing version 26H2 for them, confirmed officially for the first time. In a Windows IT Pro blog, Microsoft has urged IT admins to prepare for the upcoming release of Windows 11 version 26H2. The company has confirmed that this will be a small enablement package (eKB) that will simply light up certain disabled features that are already present in the operating system's code base. This means that the "refined" Windows update and deployment experience will be simpler and quicker, with minimal disruptions, as the feature update will simply toggle a few flags rather than performing a complete replacement. Microsoft has explained that this is all possible because the standard Windows 11 releases share the same servicing branch and hence, the same source code. However, this also means that Windows 11 26H1 users won't be able to upgrade to 26H2 as that is a different branch, but this is something we have known for a while now. Similar to previous annual feature updates, Windows 11 26H2 will offer the following support cycles: 24 months of support for Home, Pro, Pro EDU, and Pro for Workstations editions 36 months of support for Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, and Enterprise Multi-session editions Microsoft has not confirmed a concrete release date for Windows 11 26H2, but noted that it is "coming soon". If we go by the ongoing release cadence, we can expect it to begin rolling out in early October 2026. As such, IT admins have been encouraged to begin validating Windows Insider releases in the Experimental Channel, plan rollout rings, and strategize the utilization of their existing deployment tools.
