Reading through that thread... people actually want the tac-light to be left alone. It confuses the hell out of me how they can sit there and say a light that is brighter than the sun in broad daylight is just fine.

Maybe this is what it's like to get old. I turned 30 this year and think my gaming skills are definitely in decline! :(

If your motor/perception skills are at a decline at 30, you have serious issues and should see a doctor instead of writing about it on the forums :p

I have no issues and I'm closer to 40 than 30 now.

That light is so annoying. You are completely umatched when you are face to face with someone with a light you don't stand a chance. Maybe they should add sunglasses as an unlock to balance it out lol.

I think the same. The flashlight just gives the user of it a huge advantage, with very minimal threat. You don't see the flash light until its in your face , and once it is, you better hope you have a flash light in their face as well, or else you are in trouble. They either need to add a counter to it, or put a bigger downside to it, like making it more visible farther away, and less blinding.

Who is a pro pilot and what pilot joystick do you suggest I purchase? ( <$80)

I am using a program called MoitionInJoy, it allows a PS3 controller to function properly with custom keystrokes on a PC...

I am holding the left side of it, in my left hand, in order to move, sprint, crouch/prone, reload, grenade, interact, spot, and gadget. In my right hand, I have the mouse. : ) Aim, fire, scope, jump, melee. It has salvaged my first 600 kills, a .6ish K/D ratio into what is now 1,400 kills, 1.2 K/D. :)

It is awesome and way easier to me to use than W, A, S, D, etc. However, piloting isn't very easy...

Its really not hard to kill someone with a taclight, its definitely not true that you "don't stand a chance".

Shoot at middle of light

Profit!

Is it just me, or are the servers on the 360 are abarren wasteland? US East region. MW3 might have had it's impact...

Plenty of games on my end. I stick to Normal/Conquest only with US East/US South.

One of my best rounds yet in terms of award score.. http://battlelog.bat...75/2/185530357/

Well, it's not bad. I'm sticking to one region to minimise lag (hate the net code). Usually if I wanted a specific map in a specific mode, no problem. But looking for CQ Metro today, all servers were at 0 players. But yeah, within a week, they'll start to populate again.

I'm not kidding at all. There is no worse experience in Battlefield 3 than playing conquest on Operation Metro.

If you were to poll it with all other options listed, it would get 80%+ votes.

Conquest or Rush in Metro are the games best when the player number doesnot exceed from 32

I play the XB360 version. So it is only 12 v 12. So that makes a big difference. /shrug Still a great lot of fun, and revives/heals galore.

I've been encountering many stupid "bad luck" or false "suicides" in the last 2 days. Once I was was sprinting, jumped over a concrete slab, and I randomly died from suicide... Another time I was lying prone in high rocks and turned around quickly and died from bad luck, no falling involved...

Anyone else getting these extremely annoying false deaths?

I don't care for conquest Metro regardless of the player size.

Yeah I'm on 360 as well and metro is good fun, always find someone to kill, some of the bigger maps I find periods with noone around, I can see 32 v 32 on PC would be insane on metro.

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.

    • Qualcomm takes on NVIDIA with new Dragonfly CPU and AI chips

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Qualcomm takes on NVIDIA with new Dragonfly CPU and AI chips by Pradeep Viswanathan Microsoft, Google, Amazon, AMD, Meta, Apple, OpenAI, and several others have been developing their own chips for AI infrastructure. However, NVIDIA still remains the dominant player in the market. Today, Qualcomm announced a major expansion of its data center infrastructure portfolio to better compete with NVIDIA. The new lineup includes the Qualcomm Dragonfly C1000 CPU, Qualcomm High Bandwidth Compute technology, the Dragonfly AI300 inference accelerator, new connectivity products, and custom silicon solutions. Qualcomm claims that this new lineup improves performance per watt, token throughput, and total cost of ownership for AI data centers. The Dragonfly C1000 is a new data center CPU built with Qualcomm’s custom Oryon cores. This chip will feature more than 250 cores, frequencies above 5GHz, and a chiplet-based design. Qualcomm claims that this new C1000 can deliver more than 2x better performance per watt compared to existing server CPU offerings based on specifications. The Dragonfly C1000 will support PCIe Gen 7 with more than 2TB/s of connectivity, along with CXL, advanced RAS features, and both air and liquid cooling. Qualcomm expects the Dragonfly C1000 to be commercially available in 2028. Additionally, Qualcomm and Meta announced a multi-year, multi-generation agreement under which Qualcomm will supply Dragonfly C1000 data center CPUs for Meta’s next-generation server fleet. Qualcomm also announced High Bandwidth Compute, a new near-memory computing architecture designed to address AI’s memory bandwidth bottleneck. HBC Gen 1 will debut with the Dragonfly AI250, which is expected to sample in mid-2027. The AI250 will deliver 133TB/s per card, an 18x increase in effective memory bandwidth compared to the AI200 with LPDDR5X. The new Dragonfly AI300 with HBC Gen 2 is a rack-level AI inference platform from Qualcomm. Qualcomm claims that the AI300 can deliver 4x to 8x better performance per watt compared to existing GPU-based architectures based on memory bandwidth per watt per card. The Dragonfly AI300 is expected to be available in 2028.
