Can you somehow untie the copy of the game from your EA account? I want to give my game to a friend of mine, but don't want to give him my EA account (which got a few other games on it).

I don't think so. Your best bet is to contact EA support.

What is it with you an italic, Anaron :p

As far as I know, DLC stands for downloadable content.

What other game has disk locked content that is slowly released as "new content"? It makes me a little sick inside that they say they are working on content that we already have from day one.

True; however, the reason they do it is simple. It's common practice for major game developers to have at least some locked content on the disc. It's a shame though because this so-called "disc-locked content" is unfair to consumers. Why should we have to pay extra for something we already have?

Anyway, I'm glad they're actually releasing new maps instead of new modes on old maps.

I just read that the tracer darts have been removed from Vietnam. Looks like no more easy points then ;). Makes sense from a technological perspective though.

I tried to do a search regarding trag3dy's question about the flamethrower, and I couldn't come up with anything. Personally, I'm kinda hoping that it isn't secondary. I would hate for every single close range confrontation to degenerate into a flamethrower battle (i.e. where the first person to whip out their secondary and spam it wins). Making it a primary would force you to move around with your squad and rely on them for protection in long range situations, IMO.

You know they've also made it so that every weapon in the game will be able to hurt the choppers, even pistols.

that makes sense... i don't understand when i'm shooting a chopper with my assult rifle near the gas tank or at the rear propeller with like 2-3 rounds nothing happens to it.

That's a good idea, IMHO (at least from a theoretical standpoint - we'll have to see how it plays out in a real match). Personally I never had a problem with choppers in regular BC2, but I suppose that if they're removing tracer darts, they have to compensate somehow.

A patch is being released for the game with the following changes:

- Acog and Red dot scope now equippable on MK-14 and G3.

- Fixed a bug on PC where the G3 would do less damage than intended.

- Reduced VADS push back and damage to balance it with the ZU23.

- Fixed a bug where Vehicle Countermeasures would fail to remove tracer darts at high speed.

- Reduced the reload time for Vehicle Countermeasures.

- Slightly increased the AT4's damage vs armor to emphasize its anti vehicle role while keeping it balanced vs armor.

- Increased the AT4's top speed and acceleration so users spend less time exposed when firing.

- Increased the AT4's splash damage so it competes with other AT weapons vs infantry. The AT4 still has the least splash damage of all AT weapons.

- Reduced the splash damage of the Carl Gustav to bring it in line with other explosive weapons. The Carl Gustav still has the most splash damage of all AT weapons.

- Increased the 1 shot kill range of the M95 body shot to counter its lower rate of fire.

- Fixed a bug with the SVU that gave it better close range damage than other semi auto weapons.

- Reduced all weapon damage to the MCOM by 50%.

- Fixed a C4 vs MCOM exploit on Atacama Desert.

- Fixed a bug with FOV when aiming the M1911.

- Lowered the close range damage of the AN94 to highlight its long range role.

- Increased the accuracy of the F2000 on the move to highlight its role as a mobile AR.

- Increased the close range damage of the shotguns to give them a greater advantage vs slugs.

- Slightly lowered the damage of the M60 to balance its accuracy advantage vs other LMGs.

- Slightly lowered the damage of the MG3 at close range to balance it with other high rate of fire weapons.

- Slightly increased the damage of the UH6

Optics for the M14 and G3! Awesome. I need to start playing again, it's been a month or so. Now I'm getting a total sense of deja vu because I could have sworn we saw most of these changes/patch notes a while back. Anyways the date for this post was today (Nov 23). PS3 will get the update first with pc and xbox 360 to follow "soon". Probably next Tuesday.

http://blogs.battlef...pany-2-ps3.aspx

Now they just need to release the new maps and we'll have a really decent game on our hands. Except for the stupid changes to the mcoms health that is.

Edit: I guess most of these changes were in the R9 patch, so only the optics for the M14 and G3 is new.

      This seems backwards. You should have to explicitly authorize files for outside use. It shouldn't be the default.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Steven P. · Posted

      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.
