I just finished the SP version of this game and I loved how it ended. It is a good game.

It's definitely one of the best SP campaigns I've played. I haven't beat it yet but I look forward to the ending.

Yep, as I said a few pages back, I really think the SP campaign is way, way better than it is getting credit for, and I am glad my brother-in-law pushed me to continue checking it out, as I had somewhat given up on it. It is actually very good when all is said and done. (Y)

+1, It has structure to the story, graphics just add to the immersion but the plot itself is very interesting...

It is far better than MW3's SP campaign. It is harder and I only finished it on Easy.

I usually focus on MP with FPS games but ever since my Xbox 360 broke, I've been using my free time to play the SP campaign on my brother's PC account. I only played the first mission when I bought the X360 version and I thought it was good. Despite that, I decided to play MP exclusively. Well... now that I've had a chance to play a bunch of missions, I need to say that this is one of the best campaigns I've ever played. It truly felt like you're part of a huge storyline... like you're a character in an action movie. I haven't beat it yet and I'm craving for more. I especially liked the missions where you

play as the Russian agent

.

I think DICE actually managed to make a really good SP experience. The SP campaign for Bad Company 2 was decent but in comparison, BF3's SP campaign is so much better.

Thank you for getting it right.

There is nothing wrong with SP, of course there are things wrong but not that much. (Y)

Try playing it on hard and I think your opinion might change drastically. Because it's not hard it's just irritating and not very fun at all. It doesn't matter how good you are, you're still going to die, a lot.

You shouldn't have to die 25 times to learn where the enemies spawn just so you can shoot there to defeat a wave or two of idiotic AI to progress. And although the AI is stupid as can be they still manage to kill you in 1 shot even if all they can see of you is your toe. Or they'll lob a heat seeking grenade in your direction when you're completely out of sight and around a corner.

Yep :/ Same

I got same cpu as you, but I brought too soon, 560 GTX 1gb. All I get 30-60fps with low settings 1920x1080, I need is new motherboard and cpu :) total around $NZ 700 i guess.

I have an Intel Core 2 Quadcore at 2.5Ghz and it wasnt enough!!! Not to mention a an Nivida GT220 with 512MB GDDR3 video card!!! Modern Warfare 3 was pretty good :D

If you're on the ps3 then it looks like it's getting the patch that the pc got last week.

http://battlelog.bat...54775736306733/

and 360 soon after..thanks for being specific there EA/DICE, oh well as long as we get it before the weeks out I'll be happy.

You're probably looking at next week for the 360. DICE usually patches on Tuesdays and the later it gets in the week the less likely they are to release a major patch like this. That's how they did it with BC2 and it seems they are continuing the trend now.

aw...oh well I'm still having fun without the patch....the thing that's annoying me the most is those damn green flashes....no mention of a fix for them. :(

The Xbox 360 patch will be here on Dec 6th according to Major Nelson (believe that's the guy).

That's the new dashboard, not the BF3 patch....though they may get released at the same time if trag3dy is right...would kinda make sense.

Back to Karkand will be released on Tuesday (December 6th) for the PS3: http://blogs.battlef...on-tuesday.aspx

The PC/X360 folks will have to wait until the following Tuesday (December 13th).

    • IBM reveals sub-1nm chip technology, production expected in another 5 years

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      IBM reveals sub-1nm chip technology, production expected in another 5 years by Pradeep Viswanathan TSMC is now leading the chip manufacturing industry with its 2nm-class process node called N2. Samsung Foundry also has a 2nm-class process node called SF2. TSMC says N2 entered volume production in Q4 2025. Samsung says SF2 started mass production in 2025. Today, IBM announced the world’s first sub-1-nanometer chip technology, marking another major semiconductor research milestone. The new technology is based on a 0.7nm, or 7-angstrom, node and uses a new transistor architecture called “nanostack.” The new design vertically stacks and staggers nanosheet-based transistors so that more components can fit into the same chip area while also improving performance and power efficiency. IBM claims that this new sub-1nm chip can pack nearly 100 billion transistors onto a chip the size of a fingernail. This offers almost twice the density, up to 50 percent higher performance, or 70 percent better energy efficiency when compared to IBM's 2nm node design announced back in 2021. Also, IBM mentioned that this new architecture can deliver 40 percent SRAM scaling. It is important to consider that this announcement from IBM is a research milestone rather than a near-term process node launch. Back in 2021, IBM unveiled the world’s first 2nm chip design, claiming 50 billion transistors on a fingernail-sized chip and major performance and efficiency gains. Five years later, IBM’s 2nm technology has still not entered mainstream commercial production. That is because IBM is no longer a major commercial chip manufacturer. It sold its chip manufacturing business to GlobalFoundries years ago and has since then focused only on semiconductor research, IP development, and partnerships. To productize its 2-nm chip technology, IBM partnered with Japan’s Rapidus, but it has not resulted in anything shipping at scale. IBM says that its new sub-1nm technology can reach production as early as within the next five years. If that happens, it will likely depend on manufacturing partners, advanced EUV tooling, and years of yield improvements.

      It's funny when thieves accuse other thieves of stealing. Ai companies just blatantly siphoned all the knowledge of the internet without consent and are now selling it with their service... so excuse me if I find this a bit ironic.
