Or you fail at properly describing your point and providing examples.

What's the point in writing out a 4-page novel to explain my point to the detail, will you give me a shiny medal and build a statue resembling me?

Though, I am flattered my opinion matters that much to you :)

You don't need a 4 page novel to list one game as an example that isn't repetitive and doesn't suffer from the same drawbacks as BC2. Looks like you were talking the talk, but can't walk the walk.

why do you care so much about why sethos likes/dislikes the game?

He said he doesn't like the game and I'm perfectly fine with that. Is asking him to provide examples on games that he finds the MP to not be so negative a bad thing? I'd love to give the MP that doesn't suffer from repetition and all the other drawbacks he listed with BC2. If there is MP games that can't be describe the same way he describe BC2, I'd love to play 'em, wouldn't you?

I find it funny when on this site when someone doesn't like a game some people get all hurt about it. If I he doesn't like it he doesn't like.

I find it funny, someone asking someone to explain themselves a bit more clearer, automatically makes people think that person is hurt. Asking questions that bad?

He hasn't been left alone since stating that he no longer finds the game fun.

Yeah it might be funny the first time, but when people do it over & over, you start to get ****ed off.

Because he continued the conversation. Didn't you read all his responses?

Yeah it might be funny the first time, but when people do it over & over, you start to get ****ed off.

While this is could be true. It isn't my intent here. I really want to know what MP games he plays that can't be describe the exact same way he described BC2.

Not sure why you keep pursuing this, Slane. I already explained why I don't like this game, well one of the reasons and that's the predictability - You simply refuse to accept my reason

and then another question arise; would you accept anything else I say? You just seem to love this game very much and refuse to accept anything negative said about the game so no point in wasting my

time writing out long opinions because you will never accept them, just find more moot points to bring up in some sort of defence of the game.

And honestly, why's it important what I play, are you just aching to find some sort of argument point or try to get my attention here? I've played nearly every single major FPS title out there and some were good,

some weren't. BC2 just happens to be one of those games that doesn't appeal to me in the long run, doesn't do anything out of the ordinary, doesn't hold my interest and seem to take every single clich? and point of annoyance

from other first person shooters and roll it into one ball of snooze.

So either accept the fact that I don't like your precious game or move in, instead of this charade - Fair?

Oh an Anaron, it's actually not correct to call it Armed Assault 2; it's just "ArmA 2" :p ( Nitpicking, sorry ).

Haha, you're right. The first one was "ArmA: Armed Assault". :pinch:

Rumor has it, that it's new maps. :)

I hope that's true.

Yeah fat chance of that happening. Can't think of one BF game that they introduced more vehicles after shipping.

You never know...

Guy, do you honestly believe I'm pursuing this because I love this game or I'm out to get you?

This game is full of snipers and campers. Both of which I hate and does make me quit playing the MP for long stretches.

This game has a serious lack of maps. Doesn't bother me as I'm not to the bored part of 'em yet, but the game really could use fresh maps.

This game has a lack of game types. It's classic BF stuff, but some fresh types would add life to the game for everyone.

I far from love this game as you are assuming.

When you listed the negatives of the game, to me it was like you were comparing it to MP games that have none of those issues. This has me interested, as any game that doesn't have those issues would be one hell of a game to play. I'm asking for you to tell me these games so I can try 'em for myself and play them. If there is not games then this "charade" can end. I'm under the impression that you play MP games that don't have those issues and that's the information I want.

I accept your opinion of the game and it doesn't bother me. In fact that's not even the issue I'm trying to discuss. I simply want to know what game (s) you were alluding to.

This paragraph from you is what really got me wanting to know what:

Most multiplayer games will surprise you every time, this doesn't, this is so predictable as to where you might

find snipers, how the matches play out, camping spots etc. it's like playing the same matches over and over because

despite having large maps - There's so many "De facto" tactics that are used EVERY time.

What games are you talking about? I want to play them as they sound hell-u-va fun and better than BC2.

Now do you understand? I'm not out against your personal opinion (I could care less) or out for you. Simply want you to elaborate a bit more on a statement you made with the name of some games.

I'd love to write you a list but then you'd oppose the list by saying "Oh BC2 is just like those" and I'd have to write out a long page-long reply explaining why BC2 isn't competitive or very mixed up

due to be all about points, no competitiveness and how the same 4 "decent" locations in every map or at every combat point is filled to the brim with at least 6 players and the rest of the team are kamikaze

bum rushing the objectives to get points, thus making every match a predictable affair and because it's so predictable there's never any excitement or adrenaline which is a key point that keeps you from returning.

/facepalm

Nevermind man. Simply wanted some games so I can play them myself and see if there any different as you say they are. I guess that is to much to ask for.

I just told you why I won't give you such a list, based on your very own reaction to my opinions earlier in the thread. You were all over me like a dog in heat for that,

I could just imagine me posting a list and your reaction, then me having to explain it all to you :rofl:

dude, no one here was more excited about this game more then sethos. Even when i bad mouthed it earlier in the thread he defended it but over time his opinion changed... get over it.

he has valid points about the game and he's allowed to have an opinion. you're acting like a crusader trying to save Jerusalem from the Muslims...

So your saying it's wrong for me to ask him to name some other games he finds more fun than BC2? That's all I'm asking. I don't care if he hates or loves the game and I have no intention of discussing his list of games, if he ever decides to post it. You are totally mis-interpreting my reason for asking and even after explaining you still don't grasp what I'm asking.

well, if you simply asked it like that in the first place it would be fine i would think, but instead all this crap where your asking why this, why that...it kind of gives an impression.....

ontopic: gustav is hopeless against tanks, once im done on engie im going back to assault, and yeh im hoping new maps will come out soon.

Alright, guys. I was hoping it wouldn't come to this but I'm going to have to step in. Enough with the blah blah blah. Lets get back on topic.

Anyway, I think we can all agree that the game needs more maps. Someone mentioned here that the next map pack may contain new maps, unlike the last map pack which only added Rush or Conquest mode to existing maps.

Hell yes! More Rush maps please. Conquest is so boring for me. The only map I like Conquest on is the small snowy one (White Pass?). And more CQC maps please, no more Arica Harbor long walk/drive get nailed by a million tanks nonsense please (well first objective, if you manage to get your team from the hills/tanks and progess then it's an awesome map).

This game has the potential to be GREAT, at the moment it is barely good. I am only continuing playing it because I need a filler until Brink and everyone from ET:QW is playing. If they were to patch/fix [a lot] of the issues. Then hands down, it would be an AWESOME game.

Hopefully they release a xpack or so every 4 months. I'd dish out the 50 bucks.
Errr, hell no!

Errr, hell no!

they fix all the little issues and this game would be amazing. like why is it so hard to remember a default gun selection? choosing every time you hit up a server is annoying

I did read that the next map pack would add new maps. But I also saw/read somewhere that they were adding new modes to the current maps as well. Like a Port Valdez conquest map.

Anyways, I know it's totally out of the question but what I would like to see is maybe in the current maps. Make them a little larger, and add secondary objectives to the maps that could spread players out a little more. This would also give us more variety in what we have to do to win any given round. On Port Valdez while you're flying a helicopter you can see all these extra buildings in different areas of the map that are currently out of bounds. And other maps have these extra out of bounds buildings too. Give those areas some purpose. That could really go a long ways in changing the game play with not very much effort. And the stuff is already there so they won't even have to do much to the maps.

Of course this won't ever happen but it would be awesome to see. Oh yeah, and balance the weapons please, less m60 rambo medics imo!

I just had this fun event.... well pretty much what happened was I snuck up on a sniper trying to snipe, killed him with a pistol then reloaded, while running away. Then a medic on his team ran past me and revived the dead sniper. I turned around and killed the sniper again and with one bullet remaining on my pistol; headshotted the medic. LOL.

    • Friday Windows 11 preview builds are here. Insiders in the Experimental (formerly Dev) and Beta Channel can download builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690. My Windows11 device on the Preview Channel just got 26220.8728. My guess is this build is a nightly update from 26220.8690.
    • Traffic has a surprisingly unexpected impact on your surroundings by Sayan Sen Image by Radik 2707 via Pexels A collaborative study by researchers from several Israeli institutions found that everyday pollution from traffic and industrial activity measurably changed the atmospheric electric field over the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, providing new evidence of how human activity can influence the lower atmosphere. The research was led by Dr. Roy Yaniv of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Gertner Institute at Sheba Medical Center, Dr. Assaf Hochman of the Fredy & Nadine Herrmann Institute of Earth Sciences at the Hebrew University, and Prof. Yoav Yair of Reichman University. The study also involved Itay Froomer, a student from Hadera High School and the Israeli Museum of Medicine and Science (Technoda), who carried out the work as part of the Ministry of Education's 5-unit physics research track. The researchers focused on the atmospheric electric field under fair-weather conditions. Even in the absence of storms, a weak electric field naturally exists between Earth's surface and the atmosphere. One of the main ways scientists measure this field is through the Potential Gradient (PG), which is the inverse of the vertical component of the electric field. PG is a key part of the global electric circuit, a planet-wide system of electrical currents maintained by thunderstorms and electrified clouds around the world. Scientists have long known that the atmospheric electric field can be influenced by factors ranging from large-scale atmospheric processes to local weather conditions such as dust, fog and clouds. Human-made pollution is also known to play a role, but understanding exactly how urban emissions affect the electric field close to the ground has remained an area of ongoing research. To investigate this relationship, the team analyzed measurements from a newly installed electric field mill, an instrument used to continuously monitor the strength of the atmospheric electric field. The instrument was installed at the Center for Technological Education (Roter House) in Holon and became operational in August 2024. It was funded by Israel's Ministry of Education and the Holon municipality. The electric field mill forms part of a broader monitoring network that includes nearby meteorological stations and air-quality monitoring sites. This allowed researchers to compare electric field measurements with detailed weather data and pollution records to better understand what was driving changes in the Potential Gradient. The study focused on two major urban pollutants: fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), both commonly produced by vehicle traffic and industrial activity. PM2.5 refers to microscopic airborne particles small enough to remain suspended in the atmosphere for extended periods, while NOx is a group of gases released during fuel combustion. Researchers examined daily, weekly and seasonal patterns in the atmospheric electric field and compared them with changes in pollutant concentrations. Their analysis revealed a clear relationship between NOx levels and changes in the Potential Gradient, particularly during morning and evening rush hours when traffic emissions were at their highest. “What we observe is a direct physical link between emission peaks and electrical variability,” explained Dr. Roy Yaniv. “NOx reduces atmospheric conductivity very quickly, so the electric field responds almost instantaneously during traffic rush hours.” Atmospheric conductivity describes how easily electrical charges move through the air. According to the researchers, nitrogen oxides rapidly alter this conductivity, causing a near-immediate response in the electric field. PM2.5, however, was associated with a delayed response. The researchers attributed this difference to the particles' longer atmospheric residence time, meaning they remain in the atmosphere for longer periods, as well as their different microphysical interactions with surrounding air and atmospheric components. The study also identified a pronounced "weekend effect." In Israel, traffic volumes and some industrial activity decline significantly on Fridays and Saturdays. During these periods, concentrations of both NOx and PM2.5 dropped, and corresponding changes were observed in the atmospheric electric field. “The weekend signal demonstrates just how sensitive the electric field is to changes in human activity,” the researchers noted. “When emissions decline, the electrical environment adjusts at once, providing a high-resolution indicator of urban atmospheric conditions.” The findings showed that pollution levels can influence not only the chemical composition of the atmosphere but also its electrical properties. Researchers said the results strengthened the case for using atmospheric electricity as an additional tool for environmental monitoring, particularly in densely populated urban areas where anthropogenic, or human-caused, influences are most pronounced. The study also pointed to potential public health applications. By combining air-quality measurements with observations of atmospheric electricity, researchers said they could gain a more complete picture of how urban atmospheric conditions change over time. “Integrating air-quality data with electric-field measurements gives us a clearer picture of how the lower atmosphere evolves moment by moment,” the researchers added. “It’s a framework that can support both scientific insight and practical environmental decision-making.” Beyond the scientific findings, the project highlighted a collaboration between universities, public institutions and secondary education. Researchers said the work demonstrated how students could take part in real-world environmental research while contributing to studies of air quality, atmospheric processes and their potential effects on society.
