That's one of my biggest gripes with COD, why does a single knife equate to an instant kill whereas a whole host of bullets from a light machine gun do sweet **** all because he knifed me first?

there is hardcore mode... one two shot kills. only way i play.

Not been confirmed for BF3 yet. Although I would image it to be in.

It should be default in bf3 if people can't handle it then make "airsoft mode" for them where they can put whole mags from each weapon into each other and still walk away with only bit of red jelly on their face :whistle:

sounds like someone has difficulty in normal core.

Well yeah certainly when it take 5+ head shots to kill someone and that's being accurate I've even put whole MG3 belts into people they walk away with 0% life left no problem. If a games going to be like that why the hell is it even a shooter if shots are like throwing peas at people ?

I have to say I never experience this issue at all, not even remotely experience it, meaning I am never feeling as if I am emptying a whole clip into someone to kill them, and headshots seem to work no problems at all. And I always play "normal" Conquest mode. Sure you have good connections to the servers you play on?

That sounds like a connection issue on your end if you're not exaggerating. Never had any such problems in BC2 even when it was first out and they had all those severe server connection problems.

My bad, I assumed you meant that only people who pre ordered MoH would get into the beta.

Early access to the BF3 beta isn't limited to people who pre-ordered MoH. The only requirement for early access is that you own the limited edition of MoH. I recently picked up MoH (X360) for $10 and it's pretty fun.

It's also great being shafted by owning that crappy 'Tier 1 edition' which was supposed to have it and doesn't. Wasted my money on that :D

The steam store page shafted a lot of people too. For quite a while it said on the store page for the regular version that you could get into the bf3 beta.

Yeah whoever came up with the MoH/BF3 beta mix up including general EA PR regarding it seem to turned it into a bit of a bomb. Something they really need to work on improving.

      Same Internet Archive seemed to grab the new version https://web.archive.org/web/20...d/Setup_MakeMKV_v1.18.4.exe Here's the link to an additional file it periodically downloads https://web.archive.org/web/20260213092148/https://www.makemkv.com/sdf.bin I think update's keys, etc. To manually trigger this update, put the sdf.bin file in the root of where the program is installed. When you launch the program it will pick up the file and import it. Typically put it here: C:\Program Files (x86)\MakeMKV\sdf.bin
    • 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.
