The G36C is the best engineer weapon. I think it's much better than the SCAR-H. In addition to full-auto and semi-auto firing modes, it has a burst-fire mode that comes in handy for long distance shooting. Speaking of the engineer, I find myself playing that class a lot. I barely played it in Bad Company 2 and any time I switch to recon or assault, I feel "naked" because I can't take out vehicles.

Haven't played any Battlefield title before, but the best game online experience I've ever had. Hands down (Y)

I'm in the same boat. It's a fantastic experience and the most balanced MP FPS I've ever played.

Also, if anyone wants to add me, I just switched over to XBOX. GamerTag: SeriousTroggers

I actually have the same feeling as you do when I'm not playing Assault. I always feel a little bit lacking when I can't revive my team since a lot of my enjoyment of the game seems to come from helping team mates as much as from going out and killing enemies myself.

As a side question though, can you use someone else's mortar? I've killed a few mortar users and I'd love to be able to take control of their weapon and perhaps use it against them if it's possible.

I dont think so. Once, I was mortar-ing the crap out of the enemy team and they finally found me and killed me. I swiched to the assault class and saw my mortar in the same spot. I tried to use it but it didn't work. I wasn't sure if it was a glitch or only the support class can use it.

This is by far the best battlefield. Everything about it is very polished and accurate :)!

For me this has to be the worst Battlefield. Somehow it feels like they slapped everything together just to compete with CoD.

It has tanks and planes, and because of that they can call it a Battlefield game.

Pretty graphics are there too but the real Battlefield gameplay/feel they forgot to put in there.

It seems as though the PC has more problems with crashing....I'm on 360 and only been disconnected from maybe 2 or 3 servers and had my xbox crash maybe 3/4 times (thats in about 40 hours of MP + SP and coop ontop of that), tho I'm running the preview dash which may not be helping this...

PC users you finding your having more crashes than that?

360 user you finding it not too bad?

Regarding the skill rating:-

So yeah ignore it.

This is dice's explination of skill level:

So basically, this is what determines your skill level on your stats page:

? You gain/loose SL based on every confrontation with another player

? Killing a highly skilled enemy gives you more points than killing someone less skilled

? Points are not transferred from a player to another, they are simply added/subtracted based on the encounter and the SL of both parts (thus, after an encounter, one part may go up 50 points while the other loses only 20)

? The SL is used for matchmaking

Makes no sense to me.

I for one think BF3 is boring as hell.. No matter the map or game mode I find 80% of my time running around looking for someone to shoot at only to have some guy laying in bush's halfway across the map taking me out... It is not action packed like the videos make it out to be.

That's because your playing it wrong :)

Hint: Get your weapons up to a level you like and don't run round like a headless chicken and things will get a LOT better. Make sure you get into a squad and follow your squad mates (unless they are idiots) and remember this is not a gun and run but get yourself on a small map and it is amazing.

Got the IRNV scope for my M416 yesterday. Almost feels like cheating, my kill rate has pretty much doubled ever since I started using it.

I also think that there needs to be a Sunglasses gadget or something that reduces (a) lens flare and (b) near eliminates taclight and laser glare. Storming the beach on Kharg island is like running into the sun with the suns lens flare occupying the entire screen at some angles.

What seems to be the problem?

I mean, like random crashing or specific screen one (The black one)

Punkbuster updated?

Do it, if it already is

A-91 is much, much better than SCAR-H and most of them out there.

Reminds me of my beloved F2000 and AEK-971 from Assault

I went back to the F200 after everyone on here was saying it was good...and actually after playing with it for a bit I quite like it 7 kills before I died. :)

F2000 is like one of the few weapons out there which really are good. Not just high rate of fire, but good ergonomics too

      Exactly, this is just the beginning. I hope that by that time, our inept politicians devise something like a Universal Basic Income, because unemployment and poverty rates will skyrocket otherwise. And believe me, robots that perform physical work aren't a matter of IF, but WHEN. No career is truly safe from AI/robots, it's just a matter of time.

It supports a wide range of subtitle formats, including SRT, ****, and SUB, allowing users to easily modify and adjust subtitles for accurate timing and formatting. With its intuitive interface, Subtitle Edit provides a variety of features such as waveform audio display, spell-check, subtitle synchronization, and real-time video preview, making it an ideal choice for both beginners and professionals. The software also includes powerful tools for batch processing, translating subtitles, and converting between different subtitle formats. Subtitle Edit features: Create/adjust/sync/translate subtitle lines Convert between SubRib, MicroDVD, Advanced Sub Station Alpha, Sub Station Alpha, D-Cinema, SAMI, youtube sbv, and many more (300+ different formats!) Cool audio visualizer control - can display wave form and/or spectrogram Video player uses mpv, DirectShow, or VLC media player Visually sync/adjust a subtitle (start/end position and speed) Audio to text (speech recognition) via Whisper or Vosk/Kaldi Auto Translation via Google translate Rip subtitles from a (decrypted) dvd Import and OCR VobSub sub/idx binary subtitles Import and OCR Blu-ray .sup files - bd sup reading is based on Java code from BDSup2Sub Can open subtitles embedded inside Matroska files Can open subtitles (text, closed captions, VobSub) embedded inside mp4/mv4 files Can open/OCR XSub subtitles embedded inside divx/avi files Can open/OCR DVB and teletext subtitles embedded inside .ts/.m2ts (Transport Stream) files Can open/OCR Blu-ray subtitles embedded inside .m2ts (Transport Stream) files Merge/split subtitles Adjust display time Fix common errors wizard....and more. Subtitle Edit 5.0.0 changelog: Subtitle Edit 5 is a major new release and a big step for the project. For the first time, Subtitle Edit runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux from a single, modern, cross-platform codebase. The builds are self-contained, so no separate .NET installation is required, and on macOS and Linux the needed media components (mpv/ffmpeg) are bundled in. Please read before upgrading: Subtitle Edit 5 is a new application, not just an update of Subtitle Edit 4. It has been rebuilt from the ground up to be cross-platform, so: It is not 100% the same app. The look, layout, and some workflows have changed. Some things are in different places, and a few behave differently than in SE4. Not every SE4 feature exists in SE5 yet. SE5 covers all the core editing, conversion, sync, video playback, OCR, and online services, but some of the more specialized SE4 tools are not available yet. Features will continue to be added. If you rely on a specific SE4 feature that is missing, please keep SE4 installed alongside SE5. The easiest way to run both side by side is to use the Portable versions of SE4 and SE5, which keep their settings separate and do not interfere with each other. Which version should I use? Subtitle Edit 5: recommended for most users on Windows 10 (22H2) or newer, macOS 12+, and Linux. Subtitle Edit 4: please continue to use SE4 if you are on an older Windows version (Windows 7/8), or on older / slower computers where SE5 may not run well. SE4 remains available and is the right choice in those cases. To run SE4 and SE5 at the same time, use the Portable versions - you can try SE5 while keeping SE4 as a fallback.

    • Google Pixel 11 series: Here's what to expect

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Google Pixel 11 series: Here's what to expect by Hamid Ganji Google Pixel 10 series In recent years, Google has successfully turned its Pixel devices into worthy contenders in the smartphone market. The search giant is now preparing to launch the Pixel 11 series in just a few months, and many Pixel fans are likely wondering what Google has in store for them this year. The next lineup of Google smartphones includes four devices: the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. This year, we don’t expect Google to bring revolutionary upgrades to its handsets, and the Pixel 11 series is likely to receive modest hardware improvements alongside a slew of AI-powered features. Here are the rumored specifications of the Google Pixel 11 series ahead of its official debut: When will the new Pixel phones be unveiled? The last two generations of Google Pixel phones (Pixel 9 series and Pixel 10 series) were launched in August, unlike the previous three generations that debuted in October. With that in mind, we expect Google to unveil the Pixel 11 series sometime in August 2026. The exact launch date has yet to be confirmed. Google Pixel 11 CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines How much will the Pixel 11 series cost? Predicting the final price of upcoming smartphones has become increasingly difficult. As you may know, RAM and memory prices are rising sharply, leading to significant increases in the cost of consumer electronics. Recently, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that price increases for some future Apple products are unavoidable, suggesting that the iPhone 18 series could become more expensive. Google has remained tight-lipped about any potential price increases for the Pixel 11 series. If the company manages to maintain last year’s pricing structure, here’s what the lineup could cost: Pixel 11: $799 Pixel 11 Pro: $999 Pixel 11 Pro XL: $1,199 Pixel 11 Pro Fold: $1,799 Given current market conditions, it may be difficult for Google to avoid raising prices unless it adopts cost-saving measures, such as equipping the base model with 8GB of RAM. Google Pixel 11 series anticipated specs: We expect the Google Pixel 11 series to debut with a new Tensor G6 processor as well as an upgraded camera system. The overall design, however, is expected to remain largely unchanged across the lineup. Specifications Pixel 11 Pixel 11 Pro Pixel 11 Pro XL Pixel 11 Pro Fold Display 6.3-inch LTPO AMOLED / 120Hz refresh rate / up to 3100 nits of brightness 6.3-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 6.8-inch Super Actua LTPO OLED, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness 8-inch inner screen and 6.4-inch outer display, 120Hz refresh rate, up to 3600 nits of brightness RAM & Processor Tensor G6 / 8-12GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 12-16GB of RAM Tensor G6 / 16GB of RAM Storage options 128GB or 256GB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB 256GB, 512GB, 1TB Camera 50MP main sensor, 13MP ultra-wide, 10.8MP 5x telephoto, 10.5MP front camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 48MP ultra-wide, 48MP telephoto with 5x optical zoom, 42MP selfie camera 50MP main camera, 10.5MP ultra-wide camera, 10.8MP telephoto camera, 10MP front camera, 10MP inner camera Battery 4,840 mAh 4,707 mAh 5,000 mAh 4,658 mAh Software Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 Android 17 The Pixel 11 series won’t be a major departure from its predecessor, with Google instead focusing on subtle improvements and AI additions such as Gemini Intelligence. However, a patent filed by Google suggests the company is working on a removable battery for its smartphones, and we could see this feature make its way to the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Given that nearly all smartphones today lack removable batteries, such a feature would be a welcome addition to future Pixel devices. That said, it may not arrive with this year’s lineup after all, and the final decision is yet to be made by Google. The Pixel 11 series could also face an uphill battle in the market. In the Android segment, Samsung is performing well with the Galaxy S26 series, while the Galaxy Z Fold 8 lineup is also expected to launch next month. On the other hand, Apple is preparing to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in September alongside its first foldable iPhone.
