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.

    • This Samsung T7 external SSD deal lasts less than a day

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      This Samsung T7 external SSD deal lasts less than a day by Sayan Sen Recently we had covered some nice deals of internal NVMe SSDs which include the 4TB TeamGroup G50 for only $400, the WD_BLACK SN7100 2TB for just $243, as well as the Samsung 990 PRO 1TB for $370. If however you require an external SSD for portability and quick data transfers and have a budget of less than $200 the Samsung T7 1TB model is currently on a limited time deal at just $190, it's lowest price in nearly three months. The deal ends today so you better hurry if you need one (purchase link below). The T7 weighs in at just 72 grams meaning it should be fairly easy to carry around helping in the portability department. Via its USB 3.2 Gen 2 interface the T7 promises sequential read speeds of up to 1050 MB/s and writes of 1000 MB/s. It is also fairly robust with a drop protection of up to 2 meters, though bear in mind that this is not waterproof. For that you will have to choose the rugged T7 Shield. The technical specifications of the Samsung T7 1TB are given in the table below: Specification Value Model Code (1TB) MU-PC1T0T / MU-PC1T0H Interface USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) Dimensions (W × H × D) 85 × 57 × 8 mm Weight 72 g Sequential Read Speed Up to 1,050 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 1,000 MB/s Drop Resistance Up to 2 m (6.6 ft) Encryption AES 256-bit hardware encryption Operating Temperature 0°C to 60°C Non-Operating Temperature -40°C to 85°C Humidity 5% to 95% (non-condensing) Shock Resistance 1,500 G, duration 0.5 ms, 3-axis (non-operating) Vibration Resistance 20–2,000 Hz, 20 G (non-operating) Get it at the link below: Samsung T7 Portable SSD, 1TB External Solid State Drive, MU-PC1T0T/AM, Gray: $189.98 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

      I just wish they would put more love into Virtual Desktops. There is just so much more they could do.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Sounds like you just skimmed over the review, I answer all those questions in it. Although I admit I did not test if DTS works over the headphones, when I get some time I will test this. My personal use case is more speaker-driven (I cover this in the review too).

      By Steven P. · Posted

      It actually does the same exact thing as yours, 7.1 virtual surround over headphones. From the product page: "Experience sound that surrounds you with 7.1 virtual surround, delivering a wider, more immersive soundstage for movies, games, and music." So both of them are two channel, with 7.1 virtual surround that only work in Headphones mode.
