Rambo medic revive trains are another reason why I stopped playing for a while. It got to the point where usually the other team was about 50% medics. They're worse than an entire team full of CG spammers, imo.

I keep reading things like this not making me want to come back...

Yeah, I see so much hate directed at recon snipers but they are becoming less and less common. Noobs will be noobs and they're realizing that it's much easier to play either a CG spamming engineer or a medic to get a lot of points/kills. I'm not saying everyone who plays those two classes are noobs but when you see a team make up of 50% medic and 50% engineer..yeah...

That has been my experience before I decided to take a break anyways.

While it might reduce the amount of medics in the game it might encourage people to use explosives more though if people can't be revived when killed by them. I do agree that there needs to be a bleed out feature though so you can refuse revives if you want to.

Solution: ????

And here's a quote from one of the devs twitters (die twitter):

We have released more patches on PC with more features than console will ever get so you can't say we don't care about PC.

All those patches have done is give us features that Pc games have had for the last 10 years or more. They can't honestly think we should be grateful to have a server browser that is a hacked together mess. Exclusive pc balancing? Horrendous helicopter controls? What exclusive features besides the server browser has the Pc gotten? None that I can think of.

Jittery sniper scopes.

Any one else think the M95 has gone crap? All of a sudden I can't seem to kill people like I used to with the rifle, I've noticed less players using it as well, going with the GOL rifle or the M24 instead. :(

They nerfed the **** out of it in the last patch. They changed it's damage from 79 to 50 while leaving the damage modifiers as they were. That made it so it can't 1 shot people if they are wearing body armor even if you hit a headshot. They fixed that "bug" in the next patch.

Even after they "fix" it it will still be the worst bolt action rifle in the game.

Holy crap how good is the PKM LMG? I have been working on gettting gold stars on all the weapons (done Assault & Engineer). I got the gold star for the PKM LMG in one session. Literally like 3/4 maps.

Even easier than the CG. By far the hardest was the F2000 and the other RL you get the one that isn't tracer compatiable.

Currently working on the MG36 which is a bit of a chore.

My favourites have been broke for ages too. Luckily, history still works and that's how I join most games nowadays. Love it when you find a half dozen decent servers which are populated in your time zone.

I've levelled up all classes so my aim is to get bronze on each gun then get the few remaining pins.

I've been playing with shotguns lately...I'm gonna miss them :D

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      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.

    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      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 Jawad96 · Posted

      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.

    • We now know when and how the Universe may truly end

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      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.
