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.

I keep reading things like this not making me want to come back...

Yeah, I see so much hate directed at recon snipers but they are becoming less and less common. Noobs will be noobs and they're realizing that it's much easier to play either a CG spamming engineer or a medic to get a lot of points/kills. I'm not saying everyone who plays those two classes are noobs but when you see a team make up of 50% medic and 50% engineer..yeah...

That has been my experience before I decided to take a break anyways.

While it might reduce the amount of medics in the game it might encourage people to use explosives more though if people can't be revived when killed by them. I do agree that there needs to be a bleed out feature though so you can refuse revives if you want to.

Solution: ????

And here's a quote from one of the devs twitters (die twitter):

We have released more patches on PC with more features than console will ever get so you can't say we don't care about PC.

All those patches have done is give us features that Pc games have had for the last 10 years or more. They can't honestly think we should be grateful to have a server browser that is a hacked together mess. Exclusive pc balancing? Horrendous helicopter controls? What exclusive features besides the server browser has the Pc gotten? None that I can think of.

Jittery sniper scopes.

Any one else think the M95 has gone crap? All of a sudden I can't seem to kill people like I used to with the rifle, I've noticed less players using it as well, going with the GOL rifle or the M24 instead. :(

They nerfed the **** out of it in the last patch. They changed it's damage from 79 to 50 while leaving the damage modifiers as they were. That made it so it can't 1 shot people if they are wearing body armor even if you hit a headshot. They fixed that "bug" in the next patch.

Even after they "fix" it it will still be the worst bolt action rifle in the game.

Holy crap how good is the PKM LMG? I have been working on gettting gold stars on all the weapons (done Assault & Engineer). I got the gold star for the PKM LMG in one session. Literally like 3/4 maps.

Even easier than the CG. By far the hardest was the F2000 and the other RL you get the one that isn't tracer compatiable.

Currently working on the MG36 which is a bit of a chore.

My favourites have been broke for ages too. Luckily, history still works and that's how I join most games nowadays. Love it when you find a half dozen decent servers which are populated in your time zone.

I've levelled up all classes so my aim is to get bronze on each gun then get the few remaining pins.

I've been playing with shotguns lately...I'm gonna miss them :D

      As I've been usually saying lately - we all can thank "AI" for this.
    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      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.

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

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      We aren't even at the all-star game and Microsoft is talking about an update that will most likely be released during the World Series if not after. A lot can happen in the world between now and the 2026 World Series, including the 2026 FIFA Cup. Tell me about it again after the FIFA Cup is concluded. That should allow plenty of time to prepare for it.
