im more or less a battlefield nub (all my experience is with bc2). is this gonna be more like the ol school battlefields games than bad company 2? cause from what i gathered bad company 2 is pretty different then the older ones (ie the game scale is a smaller and less people and it's more infantry oriented then it is vehicule oriented)...

BF3 will have 64 players and large maps (on pc, consoles will have 24 players and smaller maps). Not a lot has been revealed regarding vehicles yet.

Think of it as a combination of Battlefield 2 and Bad Company 2. It'll feature the large maps and variety of vehicles in BF2 as well as the changes they made to BC2 (4 classes instead of 7 and lack of commander + jets).

oh they killed the jets int his one? i remember we would play the old battlefield games in school and the guys who were good would own everyone in jets. pretty annoying... i might skip on this one is the case. i'm not that big fan of fps with a lot of vehicule warfare. it drives me nuts alone when people do it in bad company 2.

and aren't the planning on launching this close to the release date of modern warfare 3? they tried that once with medal of honor and lost badly...

No, this will still have jets.

That was an error on my part. Battlefield 3 will definitely feature jets. It won't feature a commander though but that could change closer to the game's release date.

These screenshots and these trailers have been blowing my mind away lately. I really can't wait for this game! :D

I hope Call of Duty makes some improvements to their graphics engine as well. Maybe it's just me, but the graphics on Call of Duty seem outdated compared to other games.

Very doubtful that will happen anytime even remotely soon. And it's not just you, the Call of Duty engine is very outdated in terms of abilities, factually speaking.

It looks outdated because the engine they're using is outdated. It dates as far back as the first Call of Duty game... and farther. Frostbite 2 is probably based on Frostbite 1 but in its current form, it has a lot of modern features (with full DX11 support for the PC version). In fact, you won't be able to play Battlefield 3 on Windows XP because the engine doesn't support DX9. It's a trend that should be followed by other developers.

Liked too, but they're miles away from that. They're not even at half a million yet. :( When is the full trailer supposed to be released, anyway?

They're at about 560,000 as opposed to about 450,000 last Friday when I checked. The way 'likes' are published and the ease of liking something will expedite the process. I think it comes out the 17th.

I think it's safe to say that it won't reach 1,000,000 likes by the 17th. Oh well, at least they offered us a chance to see it early.

    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. Although the tech giant did not acknowledge any major problems, some users online reported various issues ranging from OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. You can read about them in this dedicated piece. While there is still no confirmation about those problems from Microsoft the company has admitted to another bug which we did not report on. The tech giant has confirmed it has received reports of an issue in which certain third-party applications may be unable to launch Microsoft Office apps or open Office documents after installing the Patch Tuesday. This affects both Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company says the problem impacts a subset of applications that rely on OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) automation to communicate with Microsoft Office programs. According to Microsoft, affected scenarios involve third-party software attempting to open Office applications or documents from within their own interface. In such cases, the Office program may fail to launch altogether, or the requested document may not open. Oddly there may not be any error message, which probably makes the issue difficult to diagnose. The bug affects several Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and other apps in the Microsoft Office suite when they are launched through the affected software. These include tax and accounting software such as CCH Engagement and Workpaper Manager, dental practice management solutions like Dentrix and Softdent, as well as the popular research and reference management tool Zotero. Microsoft adds that other applications using similar Office integration methods could also experience the same problematic behavior. To understand the issue it is important to look at OLE, the Microsoft technology involved. OLE allows different applications to work together and share data, while its Automation feature lets one program control another. Thus this enables third-party software to launch Microsoft Office apps, open documents, and perform tasks automatically without requiring users to switch between programs. Because many accounting, healthcare, research, and business applications rely on OLE automation to interact with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps, any disruption can break those workflows. As a result, affected software may be unable to open Office documents or launch Office applications even though the programs themselves continue to work normally. At the moment the company has not provided a permanent fix though it has confirmed that engineers are actively working on a resolution, which will be delivered through a future Windows update. As such additional details will be shared once more information becomes available. In the meantime, Microsoft recommends a simple workaround for affected users whic is to open the Office application or document directly rather than launching it through the third-party program. For enterprise customers and organizations managing larger deployments, Microsoft says an additional mitigation is available. Admins experiencing the problem on their managed devices are advised to contact Microsoft Support for business to obtain and apply the workaround.

      It saddens me when cars are such dull colours now. Mine is bright metallic blue and I absolutely adore it for standing out in contrast to that depressing backdrop of traffic.
