Another tidbit from Gamescom.

Apparently players can spawn directly into vehicles if a teammate is driving it. That was another of my bugbears in all previous battlefield games, some tosser spawning and then taking a multiple seat vehicle all on their own leaving rest of the team having to go on foot.

You could do this before if someone in your squad was in a vehicle.

Always going to get the plane and helicopter queues.

- bf2 handling for helicopters

Where did you hear that? Alan Kertz via Twitter said air vehicles will have the same handling as 2142, which had auto stabilization so couldn't throw it about like BF2.

Don't ask me for a source, it was on his Twitter about 2 - 3 months ago.

Need to stop watching these trailers until it's closer to release as it just gets me pumped for the game, only to realize it's still months away. Should probably try and get the hang of flying jets one of these days, but given my past history of flying in Battlefield games I may just save that for when I pick up Ace Combat. Hoping the game will be looking this good on my system as the graphics are truly amazing.

It would suck if you spawn into a vehicle with less than 5% HP... right before an RPG hits it.

Oh lol.

Yeah i agree but the pros far outweigh the cons, i used to get extremely frustrated spawning at base only for some idiot to jump into the only vehicle there and and drive off leaving teammates for dust.

Been banned a few times for sending a rocket up their arse for the trouble.

Pretty sure BC2 was that way... it sucks. "Oh goody gum drops I can look at the respawn screen even longer!"

I haven't been following this thread as much as I should, is there a way to deny revives from medics? That was one of the most irritating things about BC2 for me. So many unneeded extra deaths from idiot rambo medics.

It's definitely frustrating, especially when you spawn at the original spawn location. It better be an option though. Sometimes, I want to spawn on the ground (e.g. playing as recon). I can't snipe people when I'm in the front seat of a Humvee.

Yes, that feature was announced a long time ago.

I just saw some new game play footage, and it was on PS3...again. Is anyone worried that they have yet to show a 360 version? I have my limited edition pre-ordered for the 360 and I have yet to find out how it looks compared to the PS3. They say that the PS3, and 360 are to be the same, but I am starting to doubt it. I don't have a ps3 but my friend does and I watched Dead Space the other night and I cant imagine that looking the same. Just as an example.

...but you haven't seen actual 360 footage. What makes you think it will look worse? Didn't BC2 look pretty much identical for both 360 and PS3?

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release by Usama Jawad Windows 11 typically follows an annual update cycle, but Microsoft recently broke that tradition a bit by releasing a "26H1" version in the first half of this year as a "scoped" build for select new silicon PCs only. This version was not available for customers using 24H2 and 25H2 builds, as Microsoft is busy preparing version 26H2 for them, confirmed officially for the first time. In a Windows IT Pro blog, Microsoft has urged IT admins to prepare for the upcoming release of Windows 11 version 26H2. The company has confirmed that this will be a small enablement package (eKB) that will simply light up certain disabled features that are already present in the operating system's code base. This means that the "refined" Windows update and deployment experience will be simpler and quicker, with minimal disruptions, as the feature update will simply toggle a few flags rather than performing a complete replacement. Microsoft has explained that this is all possible because the standard Windows 11 releases share the same servicing branch and hence, the same source code. However, this also means that Windows 11 26H1 users won't be able to upgrade to 26H2 as that is a different branch, but this is something we have known for a while now. Similar to previous annual feature updates, Windows 11 26H2 will offer the following support cycles: 24 months of support for Home, Pro, Pro EDU, and Pro for Workstations editions 36 months of support for Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, and Enterprise Multi-session editions Microsoft has not confirmed a concrete release date for Windows 11 26H2, but noted that it is "coming soon". If we go by the ongoing release cadence, we can expect it to begin rolling out in early October 2026. As such, IT admins have been encouraged to begin validating Windows Insider releases in the Experimental Channel, plan rollout rings, and strategize the utilization of their existing deployment tools.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds by Taras Buria Today's Experimental builds (26H1 and Future Platforms, formerly Canary) pack several audio-related improvements. If your device is enrolled in the Experimental Channel (26H1), you can download build 28120.2315, while those in the Future Platforms version have build 29613.1000 to try. Here is what is new in build 29613.1000: [Audio] Following up on our previous improvements, we’re making some more adjustments to Settings > System > Sounds based on your feedback. Namely, we’ve updated the “All sound devices” page so: You now have the ability to change default devices from this page. Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. We’ve adjusted the page design slightly so now you can filter whether you’re viewing input or output devices. We’ve added toggles so you can choose if you want to hide or show disabled, disconnected, and unplugged devices on this page. We’ve also updated the input and output audio properties page for devices in Settings to now include jack information for those that need it. And here is the changelog for build 28120.2315: This update includes a small number of minor bug fixes and improvements. [Accessibility] This update improves caption style responsiveness by redrawing captions immediately for caption style changes. If no current caption is visible, a sample caption string is displayed. [Audio] This update improves the reliability of the inbox HD Audio driver. You can find the official release notes for build 28120.2315 here and for build 29613.1000 here.

      I agree with what I think you are saying, just not in the way you are saying it. Like any tool, the amount it represents your work is perorational to the effort you put into it. It is similar to why 2nd grade math students learning to add and subtract are not allowed to use calculators, but a high-school calculous student is. For the 2nd grader, that tool would completely replace the work they are doing, for the calculous student the same tool allows them to work far more effectively while in no way replacing their effort or knowable. If you spend 30 seconds writing a prompt, then the image that comes out is no more "yours" than if you found the same image with a Google Image search. However, many of these generative tools also support highly iterative processes that allow back and forth, and merging generated images with photos or human created images. I am sure you would agree that a human spending hours of time working on a project, even if AI was involved in the process, still reflects that human's work.

[Virtualization] - Also available in Beta This update addresses an issue that could result in bugchecks citing HYPERVISOR_ERROR (0x20001) and KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED (0x1E) errors after installing the latest flights on some devices during system restarts, virtual machine operations, or while running some gaming applications. You can find the official changelog for the Experimental build here and for the Beta build here.
    • We now know when and how the Universe may truly end

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I've always preferred this possibility. There is something that feels good about the idea that all matter in the universe will eventually come back together and maybe even result in another big bang. The idea that the universe would fizzle out over the eons and forever drift apart is a little depressing. I realize it is not logical to let a basic human desire for life to have a grand everlasting meaning change the way I feel about a scientific theory, but I am human, so that is how I feel :-).
