They're referring to schitz-o-phren-ic's post on the previous page. And it says the vehicles auto-heal in 10-15 seconds.

Odd, I could've sworn that I read about minutes instead of seconds.

@Alladaskill17: It is indeed an issue to become all buthurt about. I would've done exactly the same. I mean, really? A guy asking you where you had possibly read about there not being any weather effects? Oh. Em. Gee. I mean, seriously, how in the hell would one not get all buthurt about it, right?

I asked a simple question dude, you could've given me a more politer reply instead of being a d**k about it. Oh no, wait, sorry. I TOTALLY forgot that when there's being talked about something, the information from 2 pages back magically appears so that the person who's asking doesn't need to ask anymore! So sorry for bothering you with a question, really. I should've just used that magical option. :/

I'm from the Netherlands so English isn't my main language. Also, if I'd be sarcastic, I'd actually show it in said post to avoid such confusion :p Glad that's sorted then :)

The question still remains, are they improving the efficiency of their patcher for bf3? Their stupid patching process was one of their main excuses for why it took them so long to add in game balances to BC2. I'm assuming it won't be much different going from Frostbite 1.5 (BC2) to Frostbite 2 (Bf3) but I hope I'm wrong and it has been improved majorly.

The main reason BC2's patching process was so huge, was because frostbite 1.5 was heavily optmized for fast loading times on DVD's. Basically everytime they made even a small change they would have to replace a huge file. Frostbite 2 is a new engine, and they are paying much more attention to BF3 on the PC, so hopefully that's been improved.

Ah I see have to wait till 1am tomorrow morning...(sorry quotes not working) - bit sucky having to wait that long but then again it's perfect right after I finish work.

Does anyone know if we get it from the beta site or if it'll automagically appear on origin or go through battlelog or anything of that nature for early access people ?

So is it true that jets don't have air to ground bombs? If so what is the purpose of them? Are their objectives where jets are used to complete them or what?

To blow ground troops up? Im not a story mode person but I know in multi-player i use the hell out of ground bombs lol.

FYI, buying new video card today!!!! Sadly i cant find a gtx590 anywhere, gonna have to go with a gtx580, I did see the Asus Mars II and seriously though, hey, why not lol.

Unfortunately, I think that may be the case. There may be guided [air-to-ground] missiles which would require coordination with a recon soldier to paint a target.

Nice. Looked through some screenshots and I'm glad to see there's plenty of options. Yay for raw mouse input :)

    • This is how much iPhone 18 Pro could cost after Apple's price hike confirmed

      By Phillip0web · Posted

      They aren't going to want to. Most would just go with the 17 Pro and save money. Why would they want to spend $300 for basically the same thing? It's not worth it if there are hardly any changes from year to year.
    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      By Steven P. · Posted

      24H2 rolled out to the Release Preview Channel in early June 2024, so this coming a bit later in the Experimental Channel (formerly Dev) doesn't really say much more than earlier H2 releases that came out in October. I am not sure what the thinking is here by putting it in Experimental, one would think that the 26H2 stamp means features are locked down and it's now bug tested until October? I don't even pretend to understand Microsoft's strategy for Windows Insider Program though
    • Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 with active noise cancellation drop to lowest price ever

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 with active noise cancellation drop to lowest price ever by Fiza Ali With Prime Day 2026 scheduled to run from Tuesday 23 to Friday 26 June, Amazon has already begun rolling out early access offers ahead of the main event. Particularly, Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 wireless earbuds have dropped to their lowest price ever with limited Prime deal offering 33% and 24% discounts, respectively. Nothing Ear (a) are equipped with 11mm dynamic drivers featuring a PM1 + TPU diaphragm. For noise control, the earbuds offer active noise cancellation (ANC) of up to 45dB across frequencies reaching 5,000Hz. The smart ANC algorithm adapts to surrounding noise levels, while a Transparency Mode allows users to remain aware of their environment when needed. Connectivity is handled via Bluetooth 5.3, with support for AAC, SBC, and LDAC audio codecs. Additional features include IP54-rated earbuds for dust and splash resistance, paired with an IPX2-rated charging case. Furthermore, users also benefit from pinch controls, in-ear detection, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, dual-device connectivity, and a low-latency mode designed for gaming and video playback. The Nothing X app unlocks a range of customisation options, including a personalised equaliser, bass enhancement, control remapping, ear tip fit testing, firmware updates, dual-device management, a Find My Earbuds feature, and low-latency mode settings. When it comes to the battery, the earbuds house a 46mAh lithium-ion battery, while the charging case contains a 500mAh cell. With ANC disabled, users can expect up to 9.5 hours of playback from the earbuds and up to 42.5 hours in total with the charging case. With ANC enabled, battery life is rated at up to 5.5 hours per charge and up to 24.5 hours combined with the case. Finally, fast charging is also supported that should provide up to 10 hours of playback from a 10-minute charge with ANC turned off. Nothing Ear (a) Wireless Earbuds (Black): $53.20 (Amazon US) - 33% The CMF Buds Pro 2 feature a dual-driver audio system consisting of an 11mm bass driver and a 6mm micro-planar tweeter. The earbuds use PU (polyurethane) and PET (polyethylene terephthalate) titanium-coated diaphragms and are tuned by Nothing to deliver balanced audio performance. They further support active noise cancellation of up to 50dB across a frequency range of up to 5,000Hz, and noise control features include a Smart ANC algorithm, Adaptive ANC, Transparency Mode, and Clear Voice Technology 2.0. For calls, the CMF Buds Pro 2 use a total of six microphones and feature an environmental noise-cancelling algorithm, Clear Voice Technology 3.0, and Wind Noise Reduction 3.0 that should improve voice clarity during conversations. Furthermore, when it comes to the connectivity, it is provided through Bluetooth 5.4. Additional features include an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, in-ear detection, a low-latency mode, and a Find My Earbuds function. Moreover, through the Nothing X app for Android and iOS, users can access custom EQ settings, a bass enhancement algorithm, customisable controls, Find My Earbuds, low-latency mode, dual-device connectivity, an ear tip fit test, and firmware updates. The earbuds contain a 60mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery, while the charging case houses a 460mAh battery. A full charge of the earbuds and case via USB-C should take approximately 85 minutes, while the earbuds alone should be fully recharged in the case in around 60 minutes. Battery life is rated at up to 11 hours of playback on a single charge and up to 43 hours with the charging case when ANC is turned off. With ANC enabled, playback time is reduced to up to 6.5 hours on the earbuds and up to 26 hours with the charging case. Talk time is rated at up to 6 hours on the earbuds and 25 hours with the case with ANC disabled, or up to 4.8 hours and 18.6 hours, respectively, with ANC enabled.

      I'll move to it when it hits beta, I suspect.

      The entire world moved to the vastly superior and now universally supported Dolby Atmos technology a very long time ago, mate.
