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.

    • 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.

      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.
