I disagree with that completely. Every time I've used EA's customer support I've come out the other end completely and surprisingly pleased.

The two times I had to use their customer support they gave me a code to get *any* game new or otherwise for 50% off, and the other time they gave me a code to get a new or otherwise game for free.

Oh yeah, and they also solved the issues I was having quickly too.

Have you perhaps thought that maybe the fault actually does lay with you and not EA? That maybe your password was not as strong as you thought it was? Just putting that out there because it's not likely they hacked EA to get your info.

You must be lucky. I had two friends who bought the Limited Edition of Battlefield 3, only to find the key would unlock the standard version. Hours spent on live chat, only to be told that they had bought the wrong version and refused to see any proof. This issue was pretty public as well.. In the end they found an email address for an EA rep for our country who fixed things up.

Finally got my account back last night. I had to talk to a bunch of their service people, but eventually got in contact with an account specialist. Overall it was relatively painless, so no complaints here.

I also had my Battle.net account stolen, but I was able to get it back in literally 10 minutes. The people at Blizzard really know their sh*t, and EA should take a huge glance at how they run it. EA also badly needs an authenticator app like Blizzard has.

No, not my fault at all. My password was a mix of 12 random characters, so there's no way in hell somebody could guess it. It's a huge widespread problem and there are a ton of people on the forums and Youtube complaining about it. The trend seems to be that it's people from Russia stealing the accounts somehow.

So this is the guy that everyone hates.... I didn't find that entertaining at all, since this type of person ruins the game.

I don't usually find these kind of trolling videos funny but for some reason I found this one very amusing. Especially when kill knocks the snipers off the aircraft carrier.

Ditto, I never really could understand this "trolling" trend. Nearly EVERY game I join has some douche bag driving around with C4 on a jeep and they ALWAYS go negative. I had one the other day bail out a jet above me 4 times to try and C4 me and failed. The guy went 9/32 at the end of the game.

Then I join another game on Firestorm and about 12 players on the other team were all sat on the hill outside their spawn as snipers with another in the AA tank, oh and they had no flags at all. I find that's all what people seem to want to do in this game. Camp with a scoped rifle or messing with C4. I really can't understand people who select the Conquest game mode to not play it.

How big are the maps?

My friends download was 1.79GB, not sure why yours was smaller.

Are you sure, not to be rude, that you're not referring to the Multiplayer Update (not the actual DLC) that came out on the 27th? Xbox marketplace lists that one as 1.79GB.

Edit: the maps seem to be Back to Karkand-ish in size.

Yeah I think you're right. It shows 1.59GB in the store.

So what was in the multiplayer update for it to be bigger than the expansion?

I honestly do not have a clue, but IIRC some of the DLC related information/data comes with the multiplayer update(s), other than that I do not have a proper answer.

How is Aftermath on PC? I haven't played in over a month, I could not get used to Armored Kill at all - I prefer Conquest and AK maps are so damn big, if you don't get a vehicle you are SOL. Got tired of running wind sprints :laugh: Are the maps for Aftermath pretty good?

I just got the close quarters addon....not too sure how I like it.

Close Quaters is crap, Aftermath is similar but larger and open. Gets boring pretty quick, reminds me of Medal of Honor.

I think BF4 should just ditch vehicle maps, and stick to infanty only. Would make more sence.

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By [deXter] · Posted

      I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.

      Watch Louis Rossmann's recent experience on YouTube about trying to get a warranty replacement from Samsung. It's crazy.
    • Nearly half of American adults now use AI, but concerns are also growing

      By ad47uk · Posted

      That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.

      They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
