What's worse:

Several recon snipers on your team who are minding their own and maybe not being as effective as they could be.

Or

Players who take it upon themselves to police said recon players because they feel they are useless.

Personally I get sick of all the recon hate. You absolutely cannot be mad at someone for playing however they want to on a pub server. Players who go out of their way to police others are worse to me than a team full of recon snipers. It's just immature and irritating as hell. Leave the server if you get stuck on a team full of snipers but don't think you're being helpful by tking / smoking / tracering / them all the while being even less helpful than the recons you're calling useless.

Haven't played in a while, suffering from burnout. And besides my new gadget (Desire) is distracting me. Not to mention the last few games I played my entire team was pretty much Recon all the way. Not fun (N)

Same here (minus having the Desire ;)). Maybe I'll get back into it once (if?) that new mode comes to the PC. Until then, I feel like I need to step away from it for a while instead of forcing myself to play.

That said, if they made some new Conquest maps, I would be back in a heartbeat.

They either need to remove dmg from rocket launchers vs infantry, or just flat out instantly permaban your account the moment you kill an infantry unit with a rocket launcher. And no, i'm not kidding. This stupid **** is getting really damn old. And SOMETHING needs to be done about it.

Your saying you get killed by bazookas too much? I don't understand how this could be an issue.

You don't understand the issue with a wide range, fast moving, nearly unavoidable, almost guaranteed instant kill? <snip> Are you just one of the ones who like to rely on such an ******* way to get a kill in a game like this?

Seems like your angry. Maybe you should count to 10 backwards with deep breaths. Cuz that right there isn't called for.

Jus' sayin.

Perhaps not. But ya know... i'll be nicer, when they be a little smarter. As i shouldn't have to explain the obvious like that.

Although my plat with CG may look suspicious, but LOLNO to you suggestion. 1. Read the description of CG 2. It's not that difficult to avoid 3. idk, but personally I haven't experienced its spam that much unless it's a building-heavy map (no ****, what else are you doing to use to blow up walls? M14?) 4. Rage more bro.

if they dont have splash damage, you can move out of the way out of CG....

hmm let me see.... CG spam( if you camp/or stay in one spot your dead.....it helps if your actually moving), 40mm spam, m60 sniper spam, sniper campers.....there are so many things in ANY game that are annoying..all i can say is rage more or grow a pair.

judging by your SPM you either camp or camp..... if you keep moving its hard to get shot and now that i figured that out about 60 hours into the game...;)...and im actually having more fun running around killing, dying, jumping around trying to get to objectives....5 star saiga ftw....

but you know each to their own...so many sniping campers....whatever floats you boat....

The friends list still f'd up for anyone else? I can't add people and can't see if people are online.

I don't think I had any issues with it but I haven't played for about 2 weeks. Was taking a break until the patch was released..but it was delayed. Bleh.

Anyways it wouldn't surprise me if it's still bugged.

I've played this game a hell of a lot online and I have only used this tactic in desperation once or twice and only once or twice been victim to this tactic. I haven't seen spamming or felt that this tactic is over used or over powered.

But if you feel other wise, don't be annoyed. Try something else... like get out of the house or something.

Medics are easy to beat - just move around as you shoot. The accuracy hit when they try to move their gun and fire makes their LMG's almost useless.

I'm currently trying to get my shotgun gold stars - the ammo and accuracy perks are insane. You can snipe :laugh:

Yes, one medic is easy to beat. No one denies that. The problem is when you run into 4 or 5 of them all running a revive train. Use all the explosives you want but it won't matter. You really can't beat it unless your entire team is engie/medic.

As I said before, medics, more specifically their class functionality needs to be toned down a lot.

Rambo medic revive trains are another reason why I stopped playing for a while. It got to the point where usually the other team was about 50% medics. They're worse than an entire team full of CG spammers, imo.

      Friday Windows 11 preview builds are here. Insiders in the Experimental (formerly Dev) and Beta Channel can download builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690. My Windows11 device on the Preview Channel just got 26220.8728. My guess is this build is a nightly update from 26220.8690.
    • Traffic has a surprisingly unexpected impact on your surroundings

      Traffic has a surprisingly unexpected impact on your surroundings by Sayan Sen Image by Radik 2707 via Pexels A collaborative study by researchers from several Israeli institutions found that everyday pollution from traffic and industrial activity measurably changed the atmospheric electric field over the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, providing new evidence of how human activity can influence the lower atmosphere. The research was led by Dr. Roy Yaniv of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Gertner Institute at Sheba Medical Center, Dr. Assaf Hochman of the Fredy & Nadine Herrmann Institute of Earth Sciences at the Hebrew University, and Prof. Yoav Yair of Reichman University. The study also involved Itay Froomer, a student from Hadera High School and the Israeli Museum of Medicine and Science (Technoda), who carried out the work as part of the Ministry of Education's 5-unit physics research track. The researchers focused on the atmospheric electric field under fair-weather conditions. Even in the absence of storms, a weak electric field naturally exists between Earth's surface and the atmosphere. One of the main ways scientists measure this field is through the Potential Gradient (PG), which is the inverse of the vertical component of the electric field. PG is a key part of the global electric circuit, a planet-wide system of electrical currents maintained by thunderstorms and electrified clouds around the world. Scientists have long known that the atmospheric electric field can be influenced by factors ranging from large-scale atmospheric processes to local weather conditions such as dust, fog and clouds. Human-made pollution is also known to play a role, but understanding exactly how urban emissions affect the electric field close to the ground has remained an area of ongoing research. To investigate this relationship, the team analyzed measurements from a newly installed electric field mill, an instrument used to continuously monitor the strength of the atmospheric electric field. The instrument was installed at the Center for Technological Education (Roter House) in Holon and became operational in August 2024. It was funded by Israel's Ministry of Education and the Holon municipality. The electric field mill forms part of a broader monitoring network that includes nearby meteorological stations and air-quality monitoring sites. This allowed researchers to compare electric field measurements with detailed weather data and pollution records to better understand what was driving changes in the Potential Gradient. The study focused on two major urban pollutants: fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), both commonly produced by vehicle traffic and industrial activity. PM2.5 refers to microscopic airborne particles small enough to remain suspended in the atmosphere for extended periods, while NOx is a group of gases released during fuel combustion. Researchers examined daily, weekly and seasonal patterns in the atmospheric electric field and compared them with changes in pollutant concentrations. Their analysis revealed a clear relationship between NOx levels and changes in the Potential Gradient, particularly during morning and evening rush hours when traffic emissions were at their highest. “What we observe is a direct physical link between emission peaks and electrical variability,” explained Dr. Roy Yaniv. “NOx reduces atmospheric conductivity very quickly, so the electric field responds almost instantaneously during traffic rush hours.” Atmospheric conductivity describes how easily electrical charges move through the air. According to the researchers, nitrogen oxides rapidly alter this conductivity, causing a near-immediate response in the electric field. PM2.5, however, was associated with a delayed response. The researchers attributed this difference to the particles' longer atmospheric residence time, meaning they remain in the atmosphere for longer periods, as well as their different microphysical interactions with surrounding air and atmospheric components. The study also identified a pronounced "weekend effect." In Israel, traffic volumes and some industrial activity decline significantly on Fridays and Saturdays. During these periods, concentrations of both NOx and PM2.5 dropped, and corresponding changes were observed in the atmospheric electric field. “The weekend signal demonstrates just how sensitive the electric field is to changes in human activity,” the researchers noted. “When emissions decline, the electrical environment adjusts at once, providing a high-resolution indicator of urban atmospheric conditions.” The findings showed that pollution levels can influence not only the chemical composition of the atmosphere but also its electrical properties. Researchers said the results strengthened the case for using atmospheric electricity as an additional tool for environmental monitoring, particularly in densely populated urban areas where anthropogenic, or human-caused, influences are most pronounced. The study also pointed to potential public health applications. By combining air-quality measurements with observations of atmospheric electricity, researchers said they could gain a more complete picture of how urban atmospheric conditions change over time. “Integrating air-quality data with electric-field measurements gives us a clearer picture of how the lower atmosphere evolves moment by moment,” the researchers added. “It’s a framework that can support both scientific insight and practical environmental decision-making.” Beyond the scientific findings, the project highlighted a collaboration between universities, public institutions and secondary education. Researchers said the work demonstrated how students could take part in real-world environmental research while contributing to studies of air quality, atmospheric processes and their potential effects on society.
