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

      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.
