I'm not afraid of dying too but playing Rambo-style gets boring quickly. You die, wait X seconds, and respawn only to die again. When I play, I usually go all out when planting or defusing an M-COM. In Conquest mode, I take my sweet time and rack up a lot of kills.

Sure that might happen but with me, I'll take at least 3 baddies down with me, and then I die. And then depending on my team mates (who are either dumb as **** or well organized co-ordinate players take your pick) we we get the objective.
Bring a decent medic then. :p
+1 to this. Nothing like dying, getting rez'd, and dishing out some revenge kills :D

Finally unlocked the m95 the other day, and my god its awesome, normally i suck at snipping on this, but first time i used the m95, racked up 10 kills in a few minutes, i dont know why so many people use the Gol, m95 is so much better i find, pretty much 1 shot kill

There was an awesome suggestion a few pages back about using the tracer gun on teammates who are annoying you. Just shoot them right in the face, and the dart completely obscures their vision. I haven't tried this myself, though. Nobody has made me angry enough to try... yet :).

I was playing Recon and had someone do that to me. But I don't think he realized it was a team killing allowed server. So I just pointed my sniper at him and killed him. You'd think a decision like that (to kill a team mate) would come back to hurt you. But nothing happened.

The Gol is way more accurate and faster to aim. I find damage on sniper rifles is moot for the most part because when I'm playing recon with a sniper rifle I'm going for head shots anyways, and that's 1 shot 1 kill.

I prefer the accuracy of the GOL, M95 is good, but the GOL is better in my opinion.

So you decided to TK him? Yeah, I wouldn't have stood for that, I would have TKed you back.

Same. As a recon player I always go for the head shot unless I see someone that has just taken fire, then I hit them anywhere. Because of this the Gol is my choice of weapons.

Hell yes. I am not scared of dying, unlike 98% of players who play this game. I quit shortly after that game, when I found 4 team members just staring at an armed M-COM station, all too scared to disarm it because of dying. I HATE and I really do mean HATE players that are scared to die, and worry about their K/D ratio.

Agreed

He wanted to grief me by blocking my view. Everywhere I looked there was this bright red glow that obstructed my vision. So obviously I killed him for being such a jerk. Had he not done anything to me he wouldn't of had to sit out the game for 10 seconds or however long the respawn was. And he never TK'd me back because I doubt he remembered who did it.

If people want to play Recon, just let them, don't be a jerk about it and try to stick trackers to there faces and things.

Every time I decide to use a shotgun everyone goes really far away from me and pistols/handguns aren't as good as people with machine guns and whatnot....

Throw on the 12 gage mod. Its like sniping. :p

I also should note i play only in hardcore now. So shottys are 1 hit kills.

I play Rush all the time. Played a few SQDM games before and it was really fun.

We should have a Neowin 360 game night one day, but a lot of people here seem to have it on PC...if only they could do that 360->PC connectivity again...That's be great!

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
    • They said by this time everyone will have flying cars. WELL...
    • A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.
