No patch this week, it failed QA again apparently. How fail is their coding and whatever else that it's not passed how many times in a row now? 8? 9? They said it will be out next Monday depending on if it will pass Steams QA or not.

"Xbox 360 owners will be able to pick up Onslaught mode in the very near future and we are also still investigating the possibility of Onslaught coming to PC."

PS3 owners already got Onslaught today, 360 have to wait for an unknown amount of time. Screw DICE and all their BS.

Wow, great, just great! I have the rest of this week off but of course the patch won't be released. I'm a patient person but this is a joke...

To make this post less whiney, lets discuss the awesomeness that is pp2000 with magnum and extra ammo. I love this combo.

People are blaming Steam because of DICE's inability to make a patch that works. :laugh:

and DICE is loving everything second of that...

Well, it obviously tripped something in Steam QA, so yeah I guess the blame is 90/10 (10 being Steam).

that's BS, they are what? 2 months over due now? and in that time they couldn't get it t pass Steam's QA?

But it's ok that Activision has given everything to the 360 first?

Just checking since you never mentioned anything like that in the MW2 thread.

I didn't defend or condone it because I don't have MW2 on my PS3. If I had MW2 on my PS3 and I was delayed content by a month like the 360, I too would be ****ing and moaning about it.

So apparently to fix the lag (that's been plaguing the 360), if you switch your EA.com profile country to UK you'll play on UK servers, which are lag free, even when playing from US.

So it seems only the US servers are ****ed up. As that last few games I've played have been lag-free and once I switched back to USA as country it was laggy.

Anyone noticing worse performance with the Catalyst 10.6 drivers? I'm not talking about the CrossFire issue that's affecting people with HD 5000 video cards. I have an HD 4870 and I swear I'm getting noticeably worse performance than before (Catalyst 10.5). The game stutters and my FPS is nearly halved in the first 30 seconds of joining a server. After that, my FPS goes up and down like the beating of a healthy heart.

Also does this use a separate friends list to Steam? If so I'll probably be Chasethebase when I get my copy on Saturday.

Yes. As far as I'm aware, the only games that use Steam's friends list are games that use Steamworks.

Just did a short single round of Onslaught, waiting on some friends to get home and download. It's looks like it's going to be awesome. I'll see how it goes with a squad, but I'm thinking it's going to be fun.

It's fun. Only challenge is on Hardcore mode and even then, with a decent squad you shouldn't have any trouble with it. But nice change to the normal BC2 combat.

Anyone know what the Multiplayer Update 2 did/changed, other than allow you to play Onslaught?

Played all 4 maps in Onslaught last night and got 4 out of 8 acheevos. It's indeed fun, and I am glad they added it. However, I don't think it's $10 worth IMO. Probably really worth $7 at most. Once you play through them, which is relatively quick on normal mode (best time so far for one map taking down 3 flags is 4 minutes), it will be pretty repetitive after awhile. No doubt hardcore mode will make it take longer and add additional need for some skills and working together. We were able to do 2 people on the desert map, and took our time and did it on normal in 20 minutes. We were scoping out the map and trying different options.

Drop in and drop out is awesome.

    • Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android

      Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.
