It seems they're in it for the money now and nothing else.

That's always been the case it's a business after all.

Finally gave this another shot after the last patch and it's came on leaps and bounds. Couple of dodgy balancing issues. Like the gustav, running and gunning with the MGs. But I'm no longer raging about the hit reg!

Through one of our most reliable mediums today, that being Twitter, DICE?s recently appointed community manager Daniel Matros and the official BFBC2 Twitter feed both announced that VIP Map Pack 4 for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is now live and ready to be downloaded via the in-game store.This latest pack enables Atacama Desert to be played on Rush mode and throws Port Valdez to your list of Conquest-enabled maps.

As all other VIP Map Packs, this one?s available as a free download for those with the VIP code, which comes with all new copies of the game. Those who don?t have it can be purchase the code via the in-game store. And for the PC community, the map pack will be automatically added to the game via a patch.

Demize99 is on semester at the moment so we need to ask him when he gets back. (not for public) (The person who can answer this is currently on vacation).

2- is the chatbox bug going to be adressed soon?

We know this has been an issue and we are looking into bugs within the last patch including the chatbox issue.

3- what are the ETA?s on the mode packs release?

The map pack release dates will be announced prior to their release for each pack usually at 16:00'clock upon the days of release.

4- does DICE plans to release any new maps at all? and when?

DICE is releasing map packs with new game modes on already existing maps. Vietnam will bring new maps to Bad Company 2.

5- is the all bronze star insignias requirements an error that needs to be adressed or will we have to buy the SPECACT to get them?

It is a bug within the game and SPECACT isn?t required to obtain the insignias. We had to remove SPECACT from the patch due to it was causing problems but we are looking to add it as soon as we locate the problem.

6-is the removal of the revive inv. beeing considered still or is forgotten?

This is something we are investigating on how to best implement a new system for reviving with invulnerability removed.

7- scopes on G3 and M14? yes or no once and for all?

We are receiving many questions about this and Demize99 has already explained they won?t be in there anytime soon and is constantly under review.

8 - How is DICE going to deal with the leaked server files.Will they officially release them,bring down the modified servers or just do nothing?

We are aware of this and are urging everyone not to play on those servers. We are working on bringing down the leaked servers already. Server files will not be officially released.

9 - wasn?t the friends list suposed to be increased to 100 in this last patch?if yes an ETA on the fix?

This is a backend stability limit. When the game released we needed to keep the load down by limiting friends to 20. We may increase the limit in the future but this hasn?t been confirmed yet.

10 - wasn?t the G3 suposed to return to its former glory in the 1.03 patch?is it going to be corrected? when?

There were no plans to return the G3 to what it was but to balance it more with other guns.

11 - any chance of getting friendly mine indicators on the gadget or the mini map like the c4 has?

It is something we haven?t considered adding but is a possible addition in the future. We however don't know when this will happen.

No actual new maps until the Vietnam expansion... who didn't see this coming?

It affects console players too. It has nothing to do with what system you play on.

I guess I wasn't aware the console versions had chat boxes, friends list limits of 20, or leaked server files and server choices. I guess I haven't scoured all the options then. I stand corrected.

I meant about the no new maps.

And about the new rush map, Atacama desert... I think it's horrible for rush. The first set of mcoms you have to cross a huge huge huge empty zone with pretty much 0 cover. And then once you do make it past that your only cover is a chain link fence which gets destroyed instantly. Played it on both offense and defense and both times the game stopped at the first set of mcoms.

And oh yeah, it encourages you to snipe from your spawn for both sides.

Ah, yeah...the maps thing...that would be for everyone since it's looking to be a low cost retail package somewhat. No doubt the console version of Vietnam will be an arm and a leg.

I had the same experience with the MCOM last night and that open area in Rush as well. I struggled to find good cover and get a good look on the objective without being wide open (or by now, where you are to be expected).

Has the rubber banding/lag issue been fixed yet? Haven't played since I had that one awful session post-new-patch.

Personally didn't experience that on the servers that I'm playing that ping me for 11-23, but the R16 server patch was suppose to fix that. You should try a server that you had trouble with to see if that was actually fixed.

Exited and entered a game 3 times in order to find a room without rubber banding last night. That doesn't seem to be the norm, but last night it was.

I experience it in some servers, in others it's nonexistent. I'm not sure if R16 is mandatory for all servers which was supposed to fix the issues.

That is one of the down falls of gaming on consoles. Many games don't allow you to choose a server, and BC2 is no exception. It seems like an easy implementation. I wish we could choose a server. The only thing I can do is change my EA profile to a different country to move to those servers.

dedicated servers are only good if you can make your own servers and have COMPLETE control of them yourself. the way Dice/EA did it with battlefield is a tease at best, you pay for a server that in reality you don't have to much control at all...

They are good because they eliminate host advantage and the horrendous lag usually associated with client hosting :)

      This seems backwards. You should have to explicitly authorize files for outside use. It shouldn't be the default.

      Wow you are right, I never even noticed this until you said it! (870E Aorus Master) Before testing this card I had a TP-Link tx401 10GbE PCIe card in that slot (now using XikeStor 310 Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter).

      Lack of 5.1 makes this a no sale. What I really wish creative would make would be a USB version that supports 5.1 analog audio for speakers, can switch to headphone mode, and matches the specs of their top tier cards. The current X870E AMD motherboards dont have a great option for adding a PCIE x1 card without cutting down pcie lanes to the graphics card.
    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot by Usama Jawad I have been actively using Microsoft Word for the past couple of decades in academic, professional, and personal capacities. Although I used it through the perpetual version of Office apps at the start, I have been an active subscriber of Microsoft 365 Family subscription for over five years now. This means that my Word installation is regularly updated with new features, some of which I don't really like, but that's beside the point. As new features get continuously added, old ones that used to be a staple of Word have started to take a backseat. While I was reminiscing over my Windows experiences from my childhood today, I suddenly remember one such capability that I heavily used in my younger years but have not really touched in over a decade, and haven't seen in documents created by others either. That feature is WordArt. Just to clarify, WordArt is not a Microsoft product specific to Word, and is included in other Office apps like PowerPoint and Excel too. However, Microsoft Word is the app that I used Word Art in heavily, while making assignments or other deliverables for school. If you're unaware, WordArt offers a collection of styling techniques for text, introducing 3D effects like shadows and reflections in the text. It used to be one of the coolest things ever when I was at school and me and my classmates would often compete to ensure that our assignment's title in WordArt was truly the best and stood out above the rest. See some examples of WordArt, still present in the latest versions of Word below: Although WordArt is undeniably cool, it has taken a bit of a backseat, and has been relegated from the Home tab to the Insert toolbar, along with a bunch of other utilities, making it very easy to miss. This isn't exactly surprising because WordArt doesn't really have a place in academic and professional documents anymore, and while I have seen some creatives using it while developing promo material, even that sector has gravitated more towards dedicated graphic designing tools in the past years. For the vast majority of us, WordArt doesn't really exist, and that's alright. At least, it's still an option that can allow us to reminisce our childhood or even make some quick text stylization, if we really need it. Perhaps its usage has waned over time or the novelty has worn off, but I haven't even seen children use it in their academic assignments anymore. In fact, many don't even know that it exists. Maybe that's the fate of every beloved feature. What once felt cutting edge eventually becomes a relic, quietly tucked away as tastes, trends, and technology move on. WordArt may no longer dominate school assignments or decorate the covers of classroom projects, but for those of us who grew up with it, it remains a colorful reminder of a time when making text glow, bend, and cast giant shadows felt like the height of creativity. Hidden behind a few clicks in modern Word, it still survives not as a productivity tool, but as a small piece of computing nostalgia that refuses to disappear.
