Do it.

I'm playing from a SSD with the other components lower than what you listed. It takes me 5-15 seconds to load any given map going in with ultra settings.

I went from a sata drive to an SSD and the difference in loading a map was unbelievable.

What do you think? 4-5 years til games start to look like this? (This is an actual photo of looking down a PSO-1 scope courtesy of wikipedia.)

I've been reading about ARMA 2... Wow... Downloading the free version now...

I wish it would be sooner rather than later, most games when you zoom in with scope either the whole screen zooms in around the edges of the scope or you get a blackout effect. Surely cant be that hard to just have the scope zoom and still have peripheral vision.

This is precisely the reason I don't like scoped optics

Modified M9 to be burst.

Woot battlelog is back on, gonna check out the nerfs :D

edit:

eww what did they do to the chat box on the pc version? Looks cheap and ugly now.

it also doesnt seem to auto disappear.

it does let us see the chat without entering a message though, which is good.

Some how i have a 93r pistol that i've never seen before.

Burst pistol. Unlockable by coop or lots of levels.

& The chat box looks more noticable.

they must've changed something that gave it to me, because i'm almost certain that i didn't have it before. Didn't have any pistol with a grip handle such as this.

I didn't know people were having trouble noticing the chat box before.

i think i heard some people complaining about the old chat box taking up alot of space on lower resolutions or something, and even affecting game play. Maybe the new fix resolves that. I never had a problem with it though, besides having to send a message ot see what others have sad (brought the chat box back up to see). and thats fixed now because it doesnt seem to go away at all now.

Thank God that big frikin' chatbox is gone.

This is a godsend. Everyone should immediately turn off kill cam in the advanced filter.

You know, it would be one thing if you only saw your opponent in a reply a la CoD, but instead we get to see what they do for a clear 10 seconds after we're dead.

The IRNV nerf was waaaay too much. It's basically useless now. I tested it a little on Metro and you don't see **** underground at a crazy small distance.

Oh well. :D

GOOOOOOOD. I would have been fine with them removing it altogether or limiting it to select weapons. It got to the point where 60%+ of my deaths came from IRNV and seemingly everyone used it. I had to start using it myself and did not enjoy it.

Also they should have left the chat box on the right side. It's too distracting on the left. :(

I haven't got to play yet but I think I agree. I didn't mind it too much... I just thought it needed to be about 80% in size and moved a little higher. I bet they patch again come next update.

Overall this update looks very promising, I can't wait to play.

Look at the last page, pic there.

Anyway a few quick observations:

- IRNV is completely useless now

- USAS + FRAG still works okay, it's less powerful but I had no trouble killing people with it at distance with proper aiming

- FPS increased by some 15% for me

- Game still crashes constantly when you try and join servers with dumb or no reasons

Just updated BF3 but Battlelog still told me I had to update :s Updating again now to see if it changes anything.

Would be nice if they added an option to view how many tickets a server has. I often find myself where I don't feel like playing on a server with 1000 tickets. I rather have 500 of above 200. Then I'd at least get to play in different maps as well.

Got home, played a game. No problem since the update and I didn't noticed any bad changes yet, but I do have a tiny issue.

I see other player's ping in the scoreboard, but I don't see my own. Is that how it suppose to be?

Sounds normal. I've experienced ping like this in many other PC games.

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026

      I used to use Google assistant, not on the phone i have now, but about 7 years ago, then I decided it did not really do anything for me. Because i had Echo units over the house I added Alexa to the phone to control stuff and that is how it is now. Not the new Alexa+, as that is not really available in the U.K yet apart from on new units and to be honest, not interested in it. I went though the stage years ago of using voice to do text and call people, quicker to do it using my hands. I had a muck about with Siri on my Mac when I first got it, but not having a microphone permanently plugged in makes it a pain. I know it can be used by text. Siri like Apple AI is disabled on my Mac and will stay disabled.
    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I have a TV, but it is not used for normal linear TV, only streaming and it is not a Samsung and the best bit is, I don;'t and never have had a Instagram account. The only thing I have to do with Meta is Faceache and I only keep that just for the messaging part.

      But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.

      Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
