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.

Normal is quick and hardcore is, IMO, the only thing worth playing. Found Atacama desert the hardest one to do, due to the ridiculous amounts of Engineers, Tanks, and that Heli at the end. Other than that, you'd be correct it's not worth $10, but it's still a good DLC.

I rushed through Normal and a few of the hardcore maps when I completed 'em. Time to get a squad together to try to get sub-10 on all the hardcore's.

The only way to get better is to play more. Eventually, you'll get comfortable with the game and when that happens... the kills will flow like a slit wrist with no bandage.

BFBC2 PC patch testing for Steam compatibility is going well, they'll make their final call on Sunday and give me results on Monday.

They have said that many times. I'll see on Wednesday.

I might have to eat my words...
after a lot of trials and tribulations, all versions of the game client has now completed qa successfully.

We will do no more testing on it.

All game servers will need to be taken down for updates. The maintenance period starts on wednesday jun 30th at 07:00am (gmt+2). Most of them should be back up by 11:00am (gmt+2).

during this time window, we will also release the new game client.

Check back after 11:00am (gmt+2), and try out the new game client!

------------------

the client patch is approximately 890mb large. The list of changes is pretty much the same as is listed here. I'm going to write a post which explains some of the background behind the delays later tonight.

I seem to be doing better now, hard to aim these guns, maybe its because I'm used to MW2 and TF2.

Also I find that most of the ironsights on the guns are crap to begin with. Doesn't help that the game is quite the performance hog, running around 30FPS on Lowest settings, where MW2 gets a constant 60FPS on med/high.

      draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 changelog: Uses electron 42.4.1 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.4.
