    So... does TAD fill up anymore? I keep checking in the evenings and then playing LoL with Rak, That_Guy, and a bunch of other BC2 people instead.

    As we've been saying for the past week or so, CHECK VENT to find out if people are playing. TAD does not fill up like it used to, so we play on other servers until we have about 6 or more to attract a crowd to TAD.

    I'm going to have to shell out $60 just for a laptop cooler that keeps my laptop from overheating. I'll probably get one next week when I'm in NY, so I'll hopefully be able to play then.

    The VSS is a cool weapon but it's very situational. You're not going to long range snipe with it, and you're not going to win a 1 on 1 with an assault unless you manage to headshot him quickly. But it's great for medium range sneakiness and headshotting with short bursts. It's too easy to empty the clip on it. I kinda wish it was semi auto. If kill cam is turned off you can wreck enemy teams behind their front lines.

    Yea I'd rather just use the GOL.

    Click, kill, acquire next target.

    The VOS just makes me feel useless from short to long range, like you mentioned earlier.

    So early signs are we fixed the problem by rolling back a change involving SPECACT kits.

    As long as this continues we are aiming to release on Wednesday (23rd) of next week. However this is dependant on how fast we can gain approval the patch is compliant with Steam. If that approval does not come quick enough the release will slip to the Monday (28th) of the week after (as it is a red day in Sweden on Friday next week and we don't release patches at the end of working weeks).

    This does mean that SPECACT kits will not be available after patching as we had hoped but all other fixes remain as does the ability to play the new modes like Map Pack #3.

    Meh.

    1 hour ago:
    Good news, the EA version of the new patch works as expected. Now to pass it over for STEAM testing. Wednesday release is looking good.
    about 1 hour ago via TweetDeck

    Fuck. I am going out of town on the 24th for a few days. I hope they can get it out in enough time for me to at least get a couple hours in on the new patch. I will make it my mission to fill The Dome up again when it drops.

    BTW, Slad. Did you hear anything back yet about that admin tool beta you taked to me about?

    SVU + magnum ammo. Ten rounds, semi automatic, silenced. The M95 and GOL may offer more power but the point is stealth.

    Its not so much about sniping but instead counter sniping. And no other weapon beats the SVU here as long as you change your position after each kill.

    I find myself removing the extra zoom for aditional ammo and still in situations where i am down to a pistol looking for an ammo crate.

    Nope. It just sort of merged.

    Go to Gamespot and grab a Command and Conquer beta key: http://www.gamespot.com/event/codes/command-conquer-4-open/

    It does work.

    Having played a round and a half, it feels like a goddamn BC2 mod, but the actual shooting and hit detection is 50x better. I don't understand why they can't make BC2 work like this.

    This is something DICE has been struggling with since they started existing. They execute great ideas really well in their first-person shooters, except the base shooting mechanic always sucks.

    But, I mean, it's the same engine, why don't they just steal the code from these guys? Argh.

    I want to amend my statement to say it has ok hit detection. IT does however also have some stupidly mapped controls and it is clearly a console port what with the xbox dpad popping up to suggest which kill streak thing to use when you really press 5 or 6. Also, no mouse wheel support apparently. And its dull. Completely and utterly dull with no compelling gameplay whatsoever to speak of. Its like MW2 with none of the bullshit, ridiculous charm (if you can call it that).
