Yes! Gulf of Oman was my favourite map in Battlefield 2. It's so awesome that they're including it in the upcoming expansion pack. I know that they announced it months ago but it's great to finally see a video of it.

Can't wait to play in that map. Sure looked epic from what we could see in the trailer. And the tractor thing was indeed funny XD

Also, not sure if it's been mentioned yet. But if you don't like to keep holding shift down to run, double tap it and you won't have to hold it down to run. Might be annoying for short distances, but when you're on conquest and have to run from 1 point to another, it might come in handy. Or if you have to walk when your team can't wait with driving away in their empty jeeps/tanks and whatnot.

I guess its called Bunny hopping but its faster, Every couple of secs running Jump and your travel faster.

That's what I do too, haha. But sometimes there's the moment where you rather not jump because it would make you more noticeable to the enemy. Then it's nice to be able to double tab shift and just let go of the key. It's a simple thing but I find myself using it occasionally.

I usually focus on MP with FPS games but ever since my Xbox 360 broke, I've been using my free time to play the SP campaign on my brother's PC account. I only played the first mission when I bought the X360 version and I thought it was good. Despite that, I decided to play MP exclusively. Well... now that I've had a chance to play a bunch of missions, I need to say that this is one of the best campaigns I've ever played. It truly felt like you're part of a huge storyline... like you're a character in an action movie. I haven't beat it yet and I'm craving for more. I especially liked the missions where you

play as the Russian agent

.

I think DICE actually managed to make a really good SP experience. The SP campaign for Bad Company 2 was decent but in comparison, BF3's SP campaign is so much better.

    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      By ad47uk · Posted

      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.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates

      By zikalify · Posted

      Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
