Honestly, I kind of feel the same way. My favorite maps are Metro, Seine, and Bazaar. I just don't do well in big maps, even playing with friends. Most of the time I take a jet because that is the only fun I have in them. I don't care to much for tanks, and I usually use the trucks for C4 bait and drive them into tanks.

I generally stick to 24/7 metro maps, with high tickets, and no explosives or launchers. Every now and again I will go to a large map to pilot a helicopter for people (since I can't shoot with them) or play around in a jet, or to snipe.

I'm just hoping the Close Quarters maps will be allowed to up the player count in them, for absolute mayhem. :p

Snap!

Or atleast at the moment, I did play the first 20lvls or so pretty much just in Caspian Border andd Op Firestorm. I go through phases, but generally its about a 5:1 Metro:Other ratio.

Just a thought.

I've wondered why no members of NeoWin haven't made a server yet. It has probably been brought up before. But with a topic with 6,000+ replies and 280,000+ views...

I've thought about doing it, but the little research I did, $90+ a month is a bit steep for a 64 man server. I'm sure we could do donations. I just don't prefer PayPal, or I would do it.

I've been wanting to open a 64man, 24/7 Metro no explosives/launchers server, considering the 3-4 that exist are always full and over-queue.

Is there an interest in this? I've yet to come across anyone sporting the [NEO] clan tag as well. I feel alone out here. :(

Boz had/has some servers but I don't know if they are still up. Also the trouble is people are from all over the place, not just the US.

Oh, right. I completely forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me, now I can find more no explosive servers. ^_^

My ping is fairly low, even across long distances. When I played on 360, I had played on a bunch of UK servers and did fine. Not sure if it translates that well in PC, but as long as my latency is 200 or below it wouldn't bother me.

Can donate a 10man vent server if you like. That or we could form our own wee clan.

I have a 25man (or maybe 20 man, can't remember) vent server. I used it for SWToR, but most of my guild has quit. I still pay for it as they use it time to time, real life friends and whatnot. Do you guys need one, it isn't being used often and I have no problem continuing the payments for it?

good idea to start a neowin server for PC players. I'm on 360 personally.

I still think this is the best online shooter ever made and love it, I will stop once at level 45. I'm at 41 now, and disappointed with DICE. The game has had almost no visible support from them since December, and many of the problems persist. Frag rounds and MAVs are still a pain. When are the fixes coming? When are we getting new maps?

Yay hit 35 myself and am well chuffed. But yeh totally agree about Dice, the C4 bug alone is enuff to call the game broken.

Hey Coli you mean the C4s that can't be spotted? Otherwise not sure, other than C4 being a cheap trick I would not use myself. Wouldn't call the game broken at all, but in rather pressing need of improvement for sure. Right now it looks like DICE basically forgot about it.

New weapons shown in the video: Spas-12, MTAR-21 (no idea what that is), ACW-R, LSAT (???), L86a1, and AUG. All in all, apart from the new guns the maps look "meh". Spam explosives to win. Which I guess is no different than how it is currently.

Edit: MTAR-21 is a sub machine gun similar in looks to the A-91 already in game.

According to battlelog PS3 players will be able to download a new version of the Back to Karkand dlc tomorrow that will fix the weapon bugs. I don't know if there are any ps3 players here though so just putting it out there.

Intrinsica, I believe, is a PS3 player

You're right, I am. That said, Battlefield is with me in my new apartment and I haven't sorted out my Internet yet...man, I haven't played BF3 in about a month now. I should really make a move on sorting out the Internet situation...

    • 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.
