Re: Battlefield 5 speculation

they won't do WWI because people will whine too much about the lack of customization. to do a WWI shooter you're basically limited to iron sights and mostly bolt action rifles. vehicle play would be awkward at best outside of aircraft and map design would be increasingly boring. not to say it wouldn...

Re: new rig time

I'm still running Bloomfield I7 930 Overclocked to 3.5 ghz from stock 2.8 ghz. I've too have been trying to decide if just upgrading my Nvidia 670 gtx to a 970 gtx (or wait till the next gen comes out) will be enough of a boost to my system, or if I need to bite the bullet and upgrade to skylake to...

Re: new rig time

I've heard that skylake doesn't support well with DDR3. Makes me sad, I was planning on getting a i5 6600k :( the skylake stuff is on a new socket (LGA1151) from previous offerings so you'd be buying a new mobo anyways to get the 6600k. DDR4 is basically at cost parity with DDR3 for similar perform...

new rig time

so, US tax returns being what they are I've decided to get rid of my old fx8350 and redo everything but my video card (gtx970). unfortunately I haven't had a good handle on the whole hardware scene since about august other than noticing prices of DDR4 memory has gone down significantly since the las...

Re: XCOM 2

1: I'm probably doing it wrong, but when I tried to import the GC dudes, there were multiples to select. And even after selecting them, they didn't show up in the Recruits list (that's where I'm assuming they'd show up). if you've already started they get into the pool later. see gwyn's advice. I b...

Re: Tom clancy's the Division Closed Beta launching 29th

as far as the open beta is concerned, if you played the closed beta there's not much more content. there's more NPC spawns and another normal mode mission, but otherwise it's the exact same content but there's more dark zone grind (you get less credits/XP per kill than in the closed beta) and the sa...

Re: XCOM 2

I was looking to buy the game...do I need a controller for it? Or is it Steam trying to offload more of their controllers? (You get the controller at a discounted rate when purchased with XCOM2 or XCOM2 Digital Deluxe) I'd say playing with a controller would be awkward at best. it's a turn based st...

Re: Tom clancy's the Division Closed Beta launching 29th

Open beta confirmed for feb 19th thru 21st. If you're interested and haven't uninstalled the beta files from the last beta the client should update on the 16th, otherwise preload opens on the 16th. Content is supposedly the same stuff we saw in the last beta with at least 1 more non-dz mission and h...

Re: Tom clancy's the Division Closed Beta launching 29th

apparently dev team stated they are extending the beta by a day since they just released a new set of beta accesses. they aren't patching in content unlocks from what I've seen though so if you've already played everything in the beta you can continue ignoring it. I'm done playing the beta as there ...

Re: Tom clancy's the Division Closed Beta launching 29th

How do we get a key for this thingie? pre-order or you had to sign up a while ago. I might have an extra key incoming but it's gonna be useless to you unless they extend the beta as tomorrow is the last full day officially. rumor says they are going to extend it and invite more people but there's h...

Re: Tom clancy's the Division Closed Beta launching 29th

go into dark zone

see 3 rogues with riot shields out chasing a guy who is screaming something unintelligible over proxy chat in some asian dialect

screamy guy shoots me and goes rogue himself, so I kill him back

3 shield guys invite me to party and we terrorize the subway for a bit

Re: Tom clancy's the Division Closed Beta launching 29th

after steam finally sorted its crap out (based gaben fails yet again to release something on time, over 2 hours late), got to play for a good bit. character creation looks like it could be decent but they cut that out of the beta, you just get some random options and your choice of male/female. and ...

Re: Can't Launch BF4

gonna have to agree on kapersky, if battlelog isn't working in any browser it's the most likely culprit. that said I haven't even reinstalled BF4 since I updated to windows 10, if all you did was update it you may need to run a verify install on it or reinstall it in general.
