I have to admit, the balance in BC2 is very good atm with no weapon feeling much better than others. Maybe except the unnecessary Blackhawk buff.

It might take a while to get there, but the guy can get balance right.

M60? AN-94? The REX pistol is more powerful than semi-auto shotguns.

Balanced? Are you kidding me? There is no counter to the USAS at all. That thing destroys all. This game is horribly balanced.

You say that like you made a sound argument in the first place. It was conjecture and utter drivel. If you haven't enjoyed the last few Dice games then good for you, but that doesn't mean they are any less committed to making great games. I enjoyed Bad Company 2 a whole lot, and I have little doubt BF3 will be a fantastic game.

My point being is neither single player nor consoles got dice to where they are today. Now, that's all they focus on same as every other developer and his dog. If you haven't enjoyed the battlefield series since it started, you wouldn't understand.

I agree with Lamp0. You are pulling this out of nowhere, especially considering the gaming industry has been moving farther and farther towards multiplayer gaming. I don't know where you are coming up with silly things like "every developer and his dog" are focusing on single player now.

M60? AN-94? The REX pistol is more powerful than semi-auto shotguns.

M60 is **** now. AN-94 used to be too powerful but was nerfed. It should have its accuracy slightly reduced, maybe. But I don't see it as a big problem. And Rex? It's powerful, but every pistol is. And how many times do you get killed by the Rex?

Balanced? Are you kidding me? There is no counter to the USAS at all. That thing destroys all. This game is horribly balanced.

Hell no, it's fine. Regarding USAS, its huge CQC stopping power is outweighed by its limited range. And unlike the old M60, hardly anyone is using it, compared to regular assault rifles.

What BC2 had to have is different bullet drop depending on the caliber of weapon. So, for example, you wouldn't be able to snipe with pistols. I hope it will be implemented and made more sophisticated in BF3.

Yet, people were able to snipe with shotguns in BC2 and MoH.

huh? And that's why they should make the bullet drop system more sophisticated in BF3, like I already mentioned. For example, IIRC (so I might be wrong!) slugs have quite a range but substantial bullet drop in real life. Unlike BC2.

If they have two separate teams working on it, it's not like one team is getting short changed and the other benefits. What logic is there in merging the two teams to make the multiplayer? Do you honestly think having a 120-person team instead of a 60-person team is going to make the multiplayer even better? DICE has employees that have concentrated on the singleplayer in the previous Bad Company games -- it would make no sense to have them now work on the multiplayer aspect of the game. Having a singleplayer doesn't change the multiplayer. What do you think they're going to be lacking by not having the singleplayer team working on multiplayer?

Thank you for saying that! Some people do not understand what it takes to make singleplayer and multiplayer aspects of a game.

Wow. That was amazing! Frostbite 2 looks so damn good.
damn teasers...show us more! :woot:
It looks awesome! That was singler player.

Blind devotion if I ever did see it. Not sure if I should laugh or cry :D

Out of the 42 seconds. 50% of was the black screen distorted effects. And the rest was hard to make it. It's hard to even call it a teaser. It's more like a teaser of a teaser. How can you tell the game looks awesome from 20 secs of footage? And I didn't see any F2.0 action...? Not having a go (I admire you fan spirit) but keep things realistic - too high expectations are never good.

Anyway, I've decided this game is my fall-back game if Brink fluffs it (Y)

maybe because I do 3D art and renderings, but from thsoe 20 seconds, I saw plenty to impress me. lighting quality, model and animation quality. and the overall smoothness.

click the full hd version and blow it up and check the gameplay sections, and if you're not impressed by that quality, then I don't think anything short of movie quality graphics would.

Are you on about gameplay or graphics? Because nice graphics doesn't equal awesome gameplay at all.

And there was very little real gameplay at all. I saw:-

  • Man stepping out of APC (cutscene I think),
  • Squad leader over a map
  • Squad at the bottom of a set of stairs.
  • Solider bursts through door.
  • Squad running down an alley
  • Watch a friendly get shot
  • Drag his body back
  • Running down a large open motorway area
  • Cuts to a vantage point on a bridge above the large motorway area
  • Jumps through a hole in the floor, lands on feet
  • Crawls/prones along a building roof, under RPG fire
  • A man getting punched in the face

Sure they looked great (graphics wise), but in terms of gameplay. We still don't have a clue. Also, it isn't clear if this is SP or MP. It looks more like SP. In which case, it doesn't mean much to me personally as I primarily interested in MP.

hater!!

So I'm hater because I'm keeping level expectations, and not getting caught up in the hype?

    • Good. I hope more people sue them for focusing on this worthless junk.
    • How about fire the guy who approved all the bad decisions? The guy who bought these studios in the first place? Oh wait, Satya is safe with his billions while the workers pay the price.
    • This had nothing to do with games. This is all about management wanting to squeeze as much money from Xbox to keep Microsoft's AI ambitions afloat. Someone has to make money to burn on AI.
    • GeekBook X16 Pro Intel Core Ultra 9 thin and light laptop gets a 17% discount by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a 17% discount on its top-of-the-range X16 Pro laptop. You may remember that we reviewed the X14 Pro back in February, which marked GEEKOM's debut into the ultrathin laptop segment. You can view the full specs below. GEEKOM X16 Pro Model NX14CM Dimensions 322.58 × 213.36 × 5.8 mm (12.7"L x 8.4"W x 0.23"T) Weight 997 g / 2.2 lbs Material Unibody Magnesium Alloy CPU Intel Ultra 5 125H (14C/18T, 24MB L3, 2.3-5.1 GHz, TDP 20W) Intel Ultra 9 185H (16C/22T, 24MB L3, 2.3-4.5 GHz, TDP 35W) Graphics Intel Arc graphics 8 Xe-cores @ 2350MHz 1024 shading units/stream processors (128 CUs), 8 Raytracing Cores, 64 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU Intel AI Boost, 11 TOPS / Up to 33 TOPS (CPU+NPU+GPU) Memory 32GB Dual-channel LPDDR5x 7467 MT/s Micron SODIMM Storage 1 x M.2 2280 PCIe Gen 4x4, Wodposit 1TB, 2 TB Display 16.0" IPS LCD, 2560 × 1600 (16:10) 100% sRGB, 120Hz Refresh Rate Camera 2MP 1080P 1 × Light sensor in camera module 1 × LED indicator in the camera module Windows Hello Support: No Mic 2 x Digital Mics integrated in the camera module Speakers 2 x 3813 (4Ω×2W) built in body Audio Codec: ALC269QN-VC3-GR Certificate: DTS: X Ultra Operating System Windows 11 Pro 25H2 Bluetooth Bluetooth 5.4 Wireless LAN MediaTek MT7922 M.2 Wi-Fi 6E LAN card Left I/O ports 1 x HDMI 2.0 2 x USB4 (40 Gbps) Right I/O ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A (5 Gbps) 1 x 3.5 mm Audio jack 1 x Camera Privacy Shutter Keyboard 78Key 1.2±0.2mm / Height 3.5±0.2mm (with backlight) White LED light in Caps Lock and Fn key Language: Default US Touch Pad Dimension: 120 x 71mm Material: Mylar Position: Middle Interface: I2C, Dualpoint button Dock Input port: 1 x Type-C 2 x USB 3.0, 1 x RJ45 1 x PD 1 x HDMI (Bio) Security Fingerprint sensor (in the power button) SD Card slot No Kensington Lock No Battery 77Wh (Input 20V, 3.25A) Power 65W PD GaN Fast Charge, USB-C to USB-C Warranty 2 years (Early Bird 1+1 Years) Deal price $1119.67 The X16 Pro is powered by the Intel Ultra 9 185H, which was released in Q4 2023 and is a 14th Gen Meteor Lake CPU designed for laptop/mobile using the Intel 4 architecture based on a 7nm process. The Ultra 9 185H features 16 cores and 22 threads running at up to 5.1 GHz. It also includes a dedicated NPU utilizing Intel AI Boost at 11 TOPS. On the graphics front, the 185H includes the still fairly capable ARC Graphics (not to be confused with the newer ARC 140T) integrated GPU with a max GPU frequency of 2350 MHz across 8 Xe-cores. It has been said that the iGPU is equivalent to the NVIDIA GeForce 3050 and GTX 1650 in gaming and synthetic benchmarks. Other highlights include an AMOLED display, LPDDR5x memory at 7467 MT/s, WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, and a fingerprint sensor built into the power button. AI PC? Although the Intel Core Ultra 9 185H includes a dedicated NPU, it's only 11 TOPS; therefore, it does not qualify as a Copilot+ PC. However, it can reach up to 33 TOPS with a combination of NPU, CPU, and GPU. As I said, although we only reviewed the X14 Pro, the unboxing is the same for the X16 Pro, which I noted in my review. The packaging is quite a nice experience. The outer box houses the X16 Pro box with a small compartment that contains the 5-in-1 Dock ($40 value), which appears to be an "Early Bird" inclusion. Upon removing the box cover, the X16 Pro is revealed sitting in a cardboard compartment with two small booklets of documentation. To the left of the X16 Pro are two cardboard compartments containing the 65W charger and Type-C USB cable. What’s In The Box 1 x GEEKOM X16 Pro Ultra-thin Laptop 1 x Type-C to Type-C cable 1.8M 1 x 65W GaN PD Fast Charger 1 x Warranty Card 1 x Thank You Card 1 x User Guide All products sold by GEEKOM receive a 3-year free Warranty from the date you receive the product. If needed, you can RMA or return locally relative to your region (the U.S. has a U.S. warehouse, mainland E.U. has a German warehouse).
