Armored kill may put this on my played list again.

No idea what this contraption is. Looks like a noobus-maximus. No doubt an noob's wet-dream.

Its probably a carry over of the rocket truck from Kursk in BF 1942

Can't wait to play Armored Kill. All 4 maps look great! Also, I'm glad that the ATV is back, haha. Was playing BC2 again yesterday and the ATV was amongst several things that I miss from that game.

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.

There are what they're calling Tank Killers, Faster than tanks and bigger gun, but weaker....I'm guessing somewhere between MBT and IFV in strength.

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 mobile artillery.

Hey guys i just got the standard edition of bf3.

After installing it, origin is now downloading 5gb of update. is this normal? I didn't buy any dlc.

Yeah that's just the various patches and bug fixes. Some of them contain the DLC and purchasing just unlocks it.

Any ideas on when we will get an actual release date for armoured kill besides 'september 2012'?

Never mind that, wheres the Aug bonus content drop, and wheres the damn double xp weekend? Its the 2nd week were halfway thru the month and all Premium says is "soon".

No, they marketed Premium with the "Bonus Content" as a big selling feature. They sold out, and rushed out this content. It's a ****ing joke.

Okay? Whatever the case, you didn't have to buy it. Just seems silly to me to complain about something that is in fact a bonus and you didn't know what it was going in.

I don't know that they ever said bonus content drops would be extra weapons or whatever it is you guys are expecting.

Just like you bought Premium not knowing what the expansion packs are about? Same thing.

DICE said that the content drops were "game changing content, for premium members to add more playability to the game". Some high res JPEG pictures do that for you? So yes, owned - more delusional people buying into lies and crap from EA/DICE.

As for myself, I'll just be buying Armored Kill. The "kind-of" only map pack which is what BF is really about, but even then it probably wont come close.

Buying into lies? Uh...no. You're delusional if you thought you'd be getting new guns every month outside of the expansions. At most you can expect to get skins. Your expectations are set way to high.

      Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.

      The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
