Have a look at this guys: Quick peek of what we're cooking up for #bf3ak. Nice view, right?

Finally, snow in Battlefield 3! :D

Are you sure that's not sand instead of snow? Could be either unless they have specifically said it was snow. Either way that's a nice looking screen shot.

I-.. what? That's snow good sir...

He's right though. I've seen the map on the Machinima Live Feed of E3 and it looked more like sand than snow. Though I'm hoping it's snow. IF it's snow, then all we need besides snow maps are jungle maps. The jungle map in MoH: Warfighter looked awesome. It gave me that BC2 feeling tbh.

Yeah I watched that vid and it was deff sand...plus if it was snow surely it'd be on the tops of the mountains not in the valleys...rather bad level design if it is snow.

Not that DICE would say if they were or weren't working on BF4 yet, but...

Battlefield 4 exists only in the hearts and minds of our devotees, for the time being. ^LA

Although I think it's safe to say they will be working on BF4 and it's just a question of when and not if. I also hope it will be different than a modern military shooter.

Server / Gameplay downtime on July 18th

We will be rolling out an extensive upgrade to our game servers on july 18th. Unfortunately, in order to upgrade we will need to take them offline for a short amount of time.

What this means for you is that all online services - including multiplayer - will be down across all games and platforms beginning July 18th at 10pm PDT for about two hours.

Players will not be able to log-in to their games during this time, and those currently in-game may be affected as well.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

I'm not sure how I feel about the ac-130. I can see it easily unbalancing game play. If your side gets in it and also has awesome jet pilots to keep the other sides fighters off it that will be a whole lot of not fun for people on the ground. On the other hand, if the ac-130 dies if you merely sneeze in it's direction then it won't even be worth using. It will be like a hummer with turbo props, a flying death trap. I don't have much faith in DICE getting it's balance right.

As for BF4... I doubt that we'll be seeing it any time soon. End of 2013 at the soonest would be my guess. I think I'm okay with a new Battlefield game every 2 years though. Although I'm still hoping we'll see Bad Company 3 first.

Trailer looks good. Bit disappointed about Battlefield 4 though. I don't see how there can be much improvement in 2 years as opposed to the BF2 - BF3 timeframe.

Well, I don't think they need too long. I mean, BF3 is pretty decent as it is. A single player that's actually more fun would be nice though, but not something I'm really expecting from them seeing as I don't play BF for the story line.

There's improvements to be made sure, but I don't think there's anything about the multiplayer that needs an incredible amount of change or anything.

Managed to get my hands on the 60FPS 1080p trailer floating around. Here's what I found interesting...

No idea what this contraption is. Looks like a noobus-maximus. No doubt an noob's wet-dream. You'll also notice that the mini-map now displays the flag letters on the icons!

Looks like some sort of super-tank (M1/US variant) with an extinguisher!

The super-tank (T90/RU variant) with armour-plating on the front! :smashin: And as the kill-feed reveals it's a Sprut-SD.

Click on the pictures for bigger versions :thumbsup:

    • Microsoft finally admits its default Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 action broke key legacy component

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft finally admits its default Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 action broke key legacy component by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. So far the company has acknowledged two known issues that have popped up after the release which include bugged-out Office apps as well as the Recycle Bin; though there could be more at play too. Speaking of bugs and issues, Microsoft seems to have finally acknowledged a problem that probably has been around for close to a year. That's because back in July of 2025 the company made a default change to the latest Windows 11 versions, wherein it switched to JScript9Legacy on Windows 11 24H2 and later releases. Hence following the release of version 25H2 in October 2025, JScript9Legacy also remained default-enabled. As a result there has been a compatibility issue ever since then. For those wondering, by switching to JScript9Legacy Microsoft intended to improve the security of modern Windows PCs by reducing vulnerabilities tied to legacy scripting like cross-site scripting (XSS), among others. XSS exploits can allow cyber-attackers to attach malicious code onto legitimate websites and use them to execute the code when a potential victim loads such a website. Hence the new JScript9Legacy engine enforced stricter execution policies and improved object handling, which should help mitigate such attacks. Microsoft today has published a new support article detailing the problem. Neowin spotted it while browsing. The company says that JScript global definitions and execution context may fail to persist across scripts, potentially breaking older dependent apps and web-based components that relied on this legacy behavior. In the article Microsoft has confirmed that the issue stems from its move away from the older jscript9.dll engine in favor of jscript9legacy.dll. As mentioned above, while the newer engine was designed to address vulnerabilities and strengthen security it also changes how JScript handles execution context. As a result functions and definitions loaded by one script could no longer remain available to subsequent scripts once execution ended. The company notes that some applications worked correctly on earlier Windows versions because the older JScript engine automatically retained global definitions and execution state between scripts. Under the newer model though that behavior is disabled by default causing certain legacy workloads and polyfill-dependent scripts to fail. Microsoft says it addressed the problem via the KB5077241 update though the fix had not been enabled automatically in the following updates. As such admins must explicitly turn on persistent JScript execution context using a Registry setting that the tech giant shared today. The configuration can be applied to individual processes or system-wide through the FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE registry key. The steps have been outlined below: Run the following command to create the feature control registry key: reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE" Under this key, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value. Configure the value as follows: To enable persistence for specific processes only: Set the value to 1 for each target process name. To enable persistence for all processes: Add * as the key name and set its value to 1. You can find the official support article here on Microsoft's website.

      VidCoder 12.20 by Razvan Serea  VidCoder is a DVD/Blu-ray ripping and video transcoding application for Windows. It uses HandBrake as its encoding engine. Calling directly into the HandBrake library gives it a more rich UI than the official HandBrake Windows GUI. VidCoder can rip DVDs but does not defeat the CSS encryption found in most commercial DVDs. You’ll need the NET 8 Desktop Runtime. If you don’t have it, VidCoder will prompt you to download and install it. The Portable version is self-contained and does not require any .NET Runtime to be installed. You do not need to install HandBrake for VidCoder to work. Feature list: Multi-threaded MP4, MKV containers Completely integrated encoding pipeline: everything is in one process and no huge intermediate temporary files H.264, H.265, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, VP8, Theora video Hardware-accelerated encoding with AMD VCE, Nvidia NVENC and Intel QuickSync AAC, MP3, Vorbis, AC3, FLAC audio encoding and AAC/AC3/MP3/DTS/DTS-HD passthrough Target bitrate, size or quality for video 2-pass encoding Decomb, detelecine, deinterlace, rotate, reflect, chroma smooth, colorspace filters Powerful batch encoding with simultaneous encodes Customizable Pickers to automatically pick audio and subtitle tracks, destination, titles and more Instant source previews Creates small encoded preview clips Pause, resume encoding VidCoder 12.20 changes: Updated HandBrake core to 1.11.2.
