Free-to-play based on teamplay and tactics.

I get some crazy frame drops/stuttering with crossfire enable so I've just disabled crossfire for the time being. Hopefully they'll get some better driver support or perhaps with Mantles release we'll see some better crossfire support. Given a little time, I'm sure the crossfire support for BF4 will...

I just recently tried 8.1 and was pleasantly surprised. I was having CPU spikes in BF4 with my old Win7 install. After seeing a post from a DICE dev who claimed Win8 handled multi-core CPUs better than 7, I tried 8.1 on a new HDD and the spikes went away completely. I went ahead and purchased a lice...

If you like museums, the Smithsonian at the National Mall in DC has some of the best museums in the world. I spent all day in the Air and Space museum and the hangar that you take a shuttle bus to visit. Getting to see an SR-71, the Concorde and the Space Shuttle Discovery (among so many others) up ...

Leave it to the Goons and Redditors to form massive fleets before the game even launches. I'm kind of surprised the Reddit one is relatively small. I was curious who "The Convoy" was and based on what I found it seems to be an unofficial alliance of cargo haulers and cargo escorts which is...

Yeah they need to do a better job telling me why this isn't just another Segway. Well the S3TR has positive static stability for one. This means you can stand on it and it won't tip over if it loses power like a Segway will. I first thought that the S3TR would also be cheaper to produce since it wo...

In case anyone cares or is in the market for a video card, I just happened upon quite a good deal for a 7970 GHz edition which is virtually identical to the R9 280x. I got the Sapphire Vapor-X 7970 GHz for $220 AR from Newegg . I don't know how long the price will last as it's usually $380 and up. I...

I've been watching this thread and hadn't replied since I don't know if I can really be of help. I'm also struggling with what might be mild depression. I'm almost convinced I'm bipolar. My sister and mother are either on or have been on medication for the disorder and I'd always considered it somet...

Still no R9 290 with 3rd party coolers but on the other hand I guess this is a good thing. The 280x is starting to look mighty attractive...

I'd like to know where the spot is so I can avoid it. I spawned on one of you and was suddenly parachuting under the map. Thallus spawned on me and then the rest of you joined in the free fall. I couldn't catch up to you so gave up and respawned on the map. (Not that it really helped, we were spawn ...

I just double checked the possible settings. I thought it was possible to play ranked on a password protected/private server. Apparently I was mistaken. So never mind on all my points.

Some of us only get to play during battledays and do not have time to pub during the week at all. Me for example, I barely had any unlocks in BF3 because for the 2 years i played the game 95% of the time was with GC. And if we had been playing ranked without unlocks, you likely would have had most/...

I don't see how we can tell one of our members that they can't play the position they want because they don't have time to max their unlocks in a particular class/vehicle. Which will happen if certain players have weapons that others do not. Then don't disallow players from playing certain position...

For what it's worth, I would actually prefer playing a campaign as ranked. Having all unlocks is necessary for a purely competitive/even playing field. But for something a bit more casual/less intense, playing ranked without all unlocks could be just as interesting and rather refreshing, especially ...

I just kind of... forgot about it. I guess I was aware of its existence. I remembered AMD mention it when they announced the R9 series a month ago. But they hadn't released any information on the 290 since then and it just fell off my radar.

... Damn it all to hell... So here I was. Satisfied with my selection. A 770 EVGA SC with a $15 rebate. G-Sync, Shadowplay, driver support, quality build and 3 games, 2 of which I'm actually interested in playing if not reselling. With only a ~$30 premium over the 280x, I decided it was worth it. I...
