[human_error]

The update is out,mine just updated when i ran it.

No update for me - steam's not got any update listed and i can login in-game and play on servers without updating

**edit**

*UPDATE* 533175 is going live now. STEAM will launch later, possibly tomorrow, as it needs to go through extra QA before it goes live on Steam.

I wish the TPU server was hardcore, as hardcore is more realistic. None of this it takes 6-8 shots from an AK to kill someone(unrealistic)

When I'm not in the TPU server I'm playing hardcore and never noticed to many snipers.

Also, if you did make it hardcore I'm sure you can restrict how many recon classes a team can have so you can limit snipers.

Just a thought...

We should have a knife battle for who has the coolest name.

 

[Deleted member 24505]

Can we have knife and pistol on tpu server sometime?

 

[ZenZimZaliben]

I would play on TPU more often but for some reason I get a high ping from this server, sometimes over 150ms. I tend to stay on servers that are under 70ms. I am in the USA so not sure why it would lag out on me.

Yeah say 3:00 a.m. MST. That should be a good time for you in
the UK and then I don't have to see it either.

150ms? stop bragging... i sit at 300ms.

playable, but knifing is out and it just doesnt feel as smooth (but no teleporting, thanks to a working anti-lag mechanism in game)

hardcore is ok sometimes, but i would not be ok with making the server hardcore all of the time. I like the fact that the game takes more strategy and tactic than just twitch reaction. hardcore mode in my eyes makes it much more like MW - so fast it's ridiculous.

not saying regular mode is super realistic in the amount of shots it takes, but it's more fun - to me.

and as far as realism goes - there are tanks that should be going 60+mph going around 20. you have rocket launchers that don't cause the destruction or splash damage a real rocket launcher would - and people still complaining it's too much... it's a freaking rocket, of course it will cause a lot of damage!!

the guns/gameplay is set to be balanced rather than realistic. if realism is the most important, you'd be better off with something like ARMA or a VCS or something.

 

[human_error]

I just read a DICE post on the steam forums confirming that securom will be removed from the steam version of the game - that's one less piece of rubbish to worry about then

Yeah, they already got some sort of setup on Steam, you get 10 installs, but you can deactivate your installs so you really get infinite as long as you deactivate them.

I thought that was just hooking into the securom install limit code for activating/deactivating. Since you can only play with steam running i wouldn't have thought they would be concerned about install numbers much (yes you could use offline mode to spread the game around your friends but that would only work for single player mode anyway).

Yeah it's the most recent change log that eastcoast had posted. I dont think anything changed other than it passed QA testing finally.

Ah I see, well hopefully they got some more fixes coming, everythings running pretty smooth for me, just a few minor bugs, but some of them can be very annoying sometimes, but seems like they been working diligently.

You linked the thread so you probably already saw this, but for everyone else who might not go to the link:

"The patch is backward compatible. (We are not updating the servers, only the game clients.) So old & new game clients can play with each other."

If you want realistic go play Project Reality.

I play as recon and do not like this "limit recon" talk.

 

[digibucc]

what he means is that on hardcore, because recon is basically one shot kill, we could just limit the number of recons.

that's because the reason most people don't like hardcore is because recons can kill too easy, and it gets swamped with them.

so he's not really saying

"make it more realistic by limiting recon"
he's saying
"make it more realistic, but limit recon so it's not impossible"

either way idc, i don't like hardcore for many reasons, mostly because it amps up the pace which is what i DO NOT want.

I agree, if there is less recon, theres less people to stab easily I row my knife like a canoe paddle through snipers.
