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.

    • Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements by David Uzondu Zed 1.7.2 recently landed on the stable release channel, bringing a host of AI-related features including automatic context compaction and settings-based skill management, along with other things like better Markdown preview rendering and custom git commands in the graph view. Starting with the AI stuff, the developers introduced "/compact", a command that basically summarizes your conversation history on demand. This tool prevents your active chat window from hitting token limits by compressing older parts of the dialogue into a brief overview. In addition to that, the team relocated skill management to the settings UI, improving how the application communicates errors regarding those skills, and updated the OpenCode model roster to support DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, and Nemotron 3 Ultra Free. External agent users can also monitor context window cost metrics and delete individual sessions directly from their history. Right-clicking ref labels in the git graph now opens a context menu that runs different actions against selected targets, kind of how VS Code does it. Here are some of the bug fixes this new release brings: The active agent fails to auto-select when creating a new git worktree. A scrollbar unexpectedly appears on wrapped code blocks in the agent chat. Collapse indicators for project headers appear when performing sidebar searches. Bracketed ellipsis title prefixes fail to show the ellipsis icon properly. Project icons render incorrectly in the recent projects picker. Diff hunk controls appear inside non-editable commit view multibuffers. The software update button hangs indefinitely on the downloading stage. Restoring an agent terminal in a remote project triggers a sudden crash. Splitting a pane that contains an active commit view causes a crash. Linux Wayland freezes when trying to read the clipboard from laggy external apps. Zed is a "newish" code editor trying to break the massive stronghold VS Code has on the developer community. Funny enough, the editor was created by former GitHub employees who worked on the Atom text editor (which Microsoft killed in 2022, several years after it bought GitHub). The project officially hit version 1.0 back in April, introducing platform parity for Windows and Linux alongside deep support for DeepSeek-V4-Pro.

      26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Pro 12 (inch), within a VM.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By WrongHead™ · Posted

      It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
