That's a great list of changes.

I use the M16A3 primarily and I'm happy to see they didn't mess with it. I use the Heavy Barrel and Foregrip as accessories, and the Heavy Barrel is improved while the Foregrip was nerfed. The Foregrip's effects are negated by the Heavy Barrel though, so we should only see improvements across the board with this gun. (Y)

I don't remember reading anything about the team specific weapons issue. If I have the M16A3 unlocked for both sides it shouldn't switch me to the AK-74m when the teams swap.

I never understood this "feature". Battlefield used to swoon over MAV kills.

I love mav kills but to be fair if you run into somoene with it at full speed you shouldnt be able to still fly it, most of it is probably because of people just kill farming on Metro servers

These 100's of patch details have me very excited about the game.

I put a lot of time in it initially and I have stopped playing completely in the last few weeks. I can't wait til these are live. It lists so many things that I've wanted to see changed. My excitement level grew more and more the more I read...

Indeed.

The other day, I was playing on Gulf of Oman, was driving a tank, as usual, and there was this pilot of other team, that was, like, really really good. His dog-tags showed that he had the 50th service star for the attack-helicopters. He had insane and I mean really, really insane skills.

Sadly we couldn't get a nice pilot on our team, and I am not that good at flying, but at the end of 1000 ticket round, he did 59-5. (Y)

Getting good at shooting down choppers from the tank when they are flying low to cap flags.. just have to stay undetected as long as possible and get nice and close...

I was on Gulf of Oman and walking alone near the Construction Site flag open area. I see a Havoc hovering heading directly for me. I shot some AEK rounds right into the cockpit and killed both players! The chopper gently landed on the ground (since they were so low) and away I went! I wish I took a video!

Haha, I have tried that plenty of times, never killed anyone from just shooting at it with a gun. I have had heaps moments where I wish I recorded it (but dont we all). Best one was on Metro, kinda did the same as that guy that got a 30-something kill streak. I managed to get down to the US base and come back and kill most of them, got 17 kills, ran out of ammo then tried to go knifing but got killed.

Would have only had about 3-4 deaths but got my ass kicked at the end! Was in the tank most the time, they had good chopper and jet pilots, we had no one in the AA, I stayed in the tank so I would be safe if an enemy tank came along (was getting flags as well), managed to take down 3 choppers from the tank using the main gun. I'm finding it easy to jump out and kill infantry when they are reloading their RPGs, just got to make sure he dosen't have a friend hiding around the corner that can steal the tank....

This game is so much fun once you get the hang of it.

Wait till you get the canister shells. When they come low enuff they get totally peppered with shots. If your lucky it,ll kill the pilot, if not its still quite a nasty little bit of damage.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      This seems backwards. You should have to explicitly authorize files for outside use. It shouldn't be the default.

      Wow you are right, I never even noticed this until you said it! (870E Aorus Master) Before testing this card I had a TP-Link tx401 10GbE PCIe card in that slot (now using XikeStor 310 Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter).

      Lack of 5.1 makes this a no sale. What I really wish creative would make would be a USB version that supports 5.1 analog audio for speakers, can switch to headphone mode, and matches the specs of their top tier cards. The current X870E AMD motherboards dont have a great option for adding a PCIE x1 card without cutting down pcie lanes to the graphics card.
    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot by Usama Jawad I have been actively using Microsoft Word for the past couple of decades in academic, professional, and personal capacities. Although I used it through the perpetual version of Office apps at the start, I have been an active subscriber of Microsoft 365 Family subscription for over five years now. This means that my Word installation is regularly updated with new features, some of which I don't really like, but that's beside the point. As new features get continuously added, old ones that used to be a staple of Word have started to take a backseat. While I was reminiscing over my Windows experiences from my childhood today, I suddenly remember one such capability that I heavily used in my younger years but have not really touched in over a decade, and haven't seen in documents created by others either. That feature is WordArt. Just to clarify, WordArt is not a Microsoft product specific to Word, and is included in other Office apps like PowerPoint and Excel too. However, Microsoft Word is the app that I used Word Art in heavily, while making assignments or other deliverables for school. If you're unaware, WordArt offers a collection of styling techniques for text, introducing 3D effects like shadows and reflections in the text. It used to be one of the coolest things ever when I was at school and me and my classmates would often compete to ensure that our assignment's title in WordArt was truly the best and stood out above the rest. See some examples of WordArt, still present in the latest versions of Word below: Although WordArt is undeniably cool, it has taken a bit of a backseat, and has been relegated from the Home tab to the Insert toolbar, along with a bunch of other utilities, making it very easy to miss. This isn't exactly surprising because WordArt doesn't really have a place in academic and professional documents anymore, and while I have seen some creatives using it while developing promo material, even that sector has gravitated more towards dedicated graphic designing tools in the past years. For the vast majority of us, WordArt doesn't really exist, and that's alright. At least, it's still an option that can allow us to reminisce our childhood or even make some quick text stylization, if we really need it. Perhaps its usage has waned over time or the novelty has worn off, but I haven't even seen children use it in their academic assignments anymore. In fact, many don't even know that it exists. Maybe that's the fate of every beloved feature. What once felt cutting edge eventually becomes a relic, quietly tucked away as tastes, trends, and technology move on. WordArt may no longer dominate school assignments or decorate the covers of classroom projects, but for those of us who grew up with it, it remains a colorful reminder of a time when making text glow, bend, and cast giant shadows felt like the height of creativity. Hidden behind a few clicks in modern Word, it still survives not as a productivity tool, but as a small piece of computing nostalgia that refuses to disappear.
