Not playing nearly enough as I would like at the moment. Between working, sleeping and eating I've got like maybe 4 hours a day spareish. I feel a MASSIVE SESH coming on the weekend! :D

Damn really?! Would a PC pre-order codes be transferable to work for PS3? Story behind this is I pre-ordered it on PC, but stupidly now I want it for PS3. I know I know, PC is better but ALL my friends seem to have it on PS3 so I'm switching to that.

I don't think so. Try talking to EA Support. Maybe they can help you "transfer" an unused PC pre-order code.

The few reviews that have come out for the console versions have all said the PC version's better. If you can run it and are cool with the Origin system (and, really, it's not that big of a deal one way or another), then I'd go PC.

Edit: Also, unrelated to quote, but EA didn't include BF1943 with the PS3 version as they previously stated they would. What the hell? That's just lame. Either someone forgot all about that promise or EA wants to pull the plug on its servers sooner rather than later. I'm guessing the former, since there's still plenty of people playing BF1943 on the 360, despite zilch support since it launched. It's a shame, too, it's a great game.

The longer BF3 is out, the less likely they'll release BF1943. They promised to make a PC version and they didn't fulfill that.

Thanks! I grabbed a key for my brother. It looks like they've added more because it says 9300 keys remain on my end.

Check here to see if that store was supposed to have a midnight launch.

My store was on the list. i asked the staff in store tuesday and they said open from 10 pm to after midnight. The cleaner said they stayed open after 5.30 pm and shut up shop at 10 pm. not a happy gamer at the moment.

I'd ask them about it. Maybe they didn't have enough staff. If you make it seem like it was a hassle for you, they may give you something for free as compensation. ;)

So I had some time to play last night. I mainly checked out the SP, but then I decided I HAD to check out some MP, as that is why I purchased the game to begin with.

Found a server with a good ping, said it was only urban maps, so I joined, and let me just say I think I already love the Grand Bazaar map. Reminded me of a scaled down version of Karkand actually. Went 24/10 over the course of 2 rounds (that will be the highest my KD ratio ever gets LOL), and I just left my graphics on the same settings it auto detected for the SP, and it ran so, so much better than the Beta ran, Ooverall I have to say my first experience (again only 2 rounds) with the MP was an extremely positive one! (Y)

One performance/technical questions.

I got a pop up message from windows along the lines of the color range settings of my desktop was not matching what I had it set to, or something along those lines I honestly do not remember the exact wording but it was about the color or gamma of the desktop. Anyone else see this yet? There were 3 options to proceed, I picked the last, which was "leave it alone." About 15 minutes later, I paused the game my pressing escape as I had to go to the bathroom (was playing SP) and when I came back the game had crashed.

The only other thing was I saw some funkyness with Origin notification pop ups and the game itself, for awhile when I got a notification the game would quit out of full screen when the notification popped up, but that eventually stopped happening, and I do think it may be tied to the issue above.

How do I use the Alienware key?

Click the Cog icon in Origin, go to Redeem Product Code and Enter it in :) confirm it and enjoy.

I just applied to join the Neowin Platoon too btw :D I'm Alera.

EDIT: Also guys, the link for 'Official Website' on the Platoon page goes to 'http://http//www.neowin.net/' :D

This game is the bomb.

I was on Caspian Border, playing recon. I was just kind of enjoying the scenery when I looked up and saw an enemy helicopter. I focused on it for a moment trying to see if I could spot the pilot thru the glass, and tried to snipe him. Just then, an ally jet flew perpendicular to the chopper, torched it up, and it started spinning out of control towards me. Instead of ejecting and parachuting, the pilot ran the damn thing right into me! It was awesome. (PC.)

You can snipe the pilots out. I have done it. There are some really good pilots that will hover and start raining down on a flag, that is when I get them.

so BC2 guys, smoother launch then that game? no rubber banding like hell or random FPS drops, pings going through the roof randomly, ish like that?

It's been fine for me so far, got lag when I first launched it but I guess that was due to the amount of koreans launching the game. :rofl: Runs well with only a few graphical glitches for me

What does it do?

It adds the tag to your account so you can change it in Battlelog :) Unless I'm missing something with that question :shiftyninja:

    • Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Meta launches new AI glasses in 26 styles and Muse Spark multimodal capabilties by Pradeep Viswanathan Meta today announced a new line of Meta Glasses in partnership with EssilorLuxottica. The new AI glasses build on the company’s existing smart glasses portfolio, which is sold under the Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta brands. The new Meta Glasses start at just $299, are compatible with prescription lenses, and will be available in 26 styles across different colors, lenses, and frames. At launch, Meta Glasses will be available in three frame styles. The Meta Adventurer features a clean rectangular design and comes in Standard and Large sizes. The Meta Fury is a bolder frame for users who want a stronger look. Meta Glasses by Kylie is a slim oval frame designed in collaboration with Kylie Jenner. Similar to existing Meta AI Glasses, the new Meta Glasses include a dedicated action button that can be used to quickly access Meta AI or launch a favorite feature. They also feature open-ear speakers for calls, music, and more. Meta has also included a multi-mic array with wind noise reduction for calls and messaging. Users can capture photos and videos hands-free using voice commands. Meta claims more than eight hours of battery life, while the portable charging case can provide up to 40 additional hours. As expected, Meta Glasses come pre-loaded with Meta AI powered by Muse Spark from day one. Muse Spark is the first model from Meta Superintelligence Labs with improved multimodal capabilities. The same Meta AI upgrade is also now available on existing Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta Glasses in the US and Canada via an update. With the Muse Spark-powered AI assistant, Meta AI in the new glasses can provide smarter answers, understand what the user is seeing, and help with daily tasks such as calendar management and navigation. Meta also announced an upcoming feature called the dynamic photo feature, which captures multiple frames and recommends the best one. Pedestrian navigation is also coming soon to these glasses. Meta is also adding support for 14 new live translation languages, including Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Hindi, and Korean. The new Meta Glasses are available starting today through Meta.com, Best Buy, Amazon, LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, and select retailers.
    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By fintechfooty · Posted

      is that a personal preference? whether it is or isn't, i get where you're coming from. i try to get and use fully open sourced applications whenever i can but there are instances where i find a superior product that is closed sourced. in these cases i do my best to learn about the company, who operates it, their background, parent and sub structure etc. to some extent, depending on "the smell test". i really believe that Syncback is really and truly something great. even if you don't use it, it's always worth a recommendation to someone else, especially if that someone else is not very computer literate. for someone of your calibre you, you'll manage just fine with Syncthing, no doubt about it.

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I agree, especially if it is cloud sourced, like this one is.. but I wouldn't say no to a local AI assistant similar to the Zettlab one which would be really helpful with my large Photos library, but also to perform tasks like installing Docker apps rather than me having to do it via Docker Compose, but I don't think we're quite there yet. Synology Photos is somewhat AI, you can ask it to search for certain people (if you have tagged them and it will attempt to match similar photos to the person) and if you put a search term in for "cars" for example, it will show you all photos with a car.
