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.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
