Mechwarrior 5 Wut Wut! I really had a blast with all the mech games on the market in the early 90s and playing in ladder matches for clan rankings. Hope they have similar things set up for this game.

Well to be fair Axle DICE did say they wanted the RSP for BF V to be quality and what people wanted. By this statement I am assuming that its a go but we shall see. Honestly the Public servers really aint that bad this go around.

Neumann! I cant believe this hadn't been done yet. You geezers are slacking.

Weird. When this came up last year they said it was for Roku only as they had some sort of deal with them Must check the old fire TV
-
Damnit so much. I may actually have to back track on my whole wont get CBS All Access statement... because Piccard. Now if they would only release an app for fire TV it would be a done deal. Not gonna add ANOTHER device for watching movies that has the same things as the others.

Wooo!

Yeah I was hinkey about it at first but the corsair sealed unit Im using was chosen because its a sealed look and not a custom cooling setup which do suffer the drawback of leaking. While this was a sealed unit I have never been a fan of EVGA stuff save the video cards. Corsair has a really good rep and produces quality stuff and I have been nothing but happy with mine.

Well that was interesting. I have to say I agree with a LOT of what he says in the video however I do have to take issue with his take on BF V on a couple of points. 1) BF V has removed the premium pass and while they will have MTX in the game, it will be very similar to Fortnite and CoD 4, ie cosmetic skins which you know you arent forced to buy and there is no RNG as to what you get so yeah big whoop. DICE / EA seem to have learned from last yrs screw ups and honestly I am having a blast in BF V logging in and playing casually. The TTK /TTD IMHO is very close to HC but leaning toward Classic Mode play, gun play is the best I've seen in a BF game in yrs, and lets not forget when they made the change to the game recently to "fix" the TTD/TTK "issue" and people lost their shit the rolled it back almost immediately. People have complained about the CC after rank 50 issue but lets not forget this was an issue with BF1 as well and I assume it was overlooked since you cant spend the real world cash to buy the upgrades. 2) I think the main issue you see with the sales numbers is two fold. The first issue is that these numbers reflect physical sales and do not include the people, like myself, who are playing under the Origin Premier Access plan. The send would be the release timing. Here they did kind of screw the pooch a bit. People have been looking forward to RDR2 way longer than any BF title and to release a week after this title went out definitely hurt sales. I have to admit that if they had released the PC version of this game at the same time I would more than likely have picked it up instead. BF V has its issues but none are utterly game breaking and the majority of the bugs people complained about were patched a week after it went live. When was the last time you saw that? Also the new attrition system is doing wonders for the game IMHO. The very best parts of Ammo 2.0 from BF1 have made it into the game as core components and I am seeing definite improvements most notably the lack of hill humping bush wookies, people playing the objectives as a squad, and support/ medics playing their roles. The missions / awards system while still needing , again IMHO, to go back to the BF4 model are working better. As a for instance the latest ToW line to unlock the rifle, currently live, I was able to accomplish the entire thing in one gaming session as an assault by simply playing the Grand Operations mode for 3 rounds. I went to check what the next thing I needed to do was and when I looked by golly the rifle was unlocked and I hadn't even been trying. That's how it should be with everything. Play the game as it should be played for your class and unlock stuff. While I would like them to go back to the global system where no matter what you were doing if you did something that counted toward any of the assignment it would give credit I can understand why its done this way I just dont agree with using the assignments to extend play / game life. Make the game good and let stuff unlock as you play without having to focus on a task and the game will have longevity as did BF4. I still haven't unlocked everything in BF4 but I never had to TRY to unlock something. It just happened as I was playing the game. A lot of folks are complaining about the lack of private servers ATM and while I would love to have a TAC server I look at the clusterfuck that was the BF1 RSP and as long as when they roll out servers they are decent and take into account the things we said were minimum requirements I am willing to wait. I think the main issue with the BF1 servers was that they rushed out the server platform and promised a bunch of features "SOON™" that they never really were able to deliver on and were not able to fix glaring bugs or the lack of features. Lets hope they continue with the current mindset of listening to their customers and the core audience as catering to the casual player didn't work out too well for them last time. Now all I need to do is figure out which stocks to buy haha.

When I built my current system I water cooled everything, well not the RAM, but CPU and GPU. Damn a fan gimme a water block

Just ready the article. I looked at what departments are getting the offers, which have been in place for CS people for years, with stuff moving more to cloud based solutions I can see not needing a huge IT staff and other areas are being rolled into other groups / end user groups such as the CTE in the case of DICE so yeah. It's good that they are offering parachutes to folks to help them transition to other areas/ new job skills. If one of the mega publishers was truly in dire straights they would just lay these folks off not offer voluntary separation packages which according the the press releases around 10 whole people have actually accepted. I would expect that if the company was truly in danger / hurting that badly a LOT more of the rats would be abandoning ship and taking the cheddar with them.

I had a buddy that worked for EA and one that worked for Sony as developers. Back in the day I was pretty involved in the MMORPG scene and got to know a lot of the developers both professionally and personally and saw this many times. One could say that I was an insider, hell I worked as online in game support for Ultima Online for years back when Origin was a development studio and not the EA game store, so here's how it works from a insiders perspective. I've been around this stuff longer than most of the EA Game Changers today have been alive hahaha. 1) Company X gets an idea for a new game or a continuation of an established franchise. (a) The company starts making sales predictions vs cost analysis estimates and including these predictions in the earnings estimate for the next year or two. (b) Investors evaluate the sales vs costs estimates and hand over buckets of money if everything jives. 2) Company X lays on a bunch of developers and begins production (a) Everything financially is pretty quiet during this time unless the studio burns through cash at an alarming rate. 3) Development concludes but the hires for the product are retained because well game launches are hard and whatnot and something more like many things have to be fixed/tweaked. (a) ALL the developers know the layoff axe will be coming soon. This is why you see so many devs burn those crazy hours during this crunch time hoping that they dont have to look for a job or get shifted to another project. (b) Investors / Publishers that own the development studios tell the heads of the studios to start making the cut list. 4) Once game XYZ is stable the first wave of layoffs takes place. The media reacts the same way: "OMG Company X just released a game but is laying off all the developers... THE GAME?COMPANY is failing!!!!" (a) No one at these companies pay any attention to this as they understand this is just part of the churn involved in the game development arena. as do the investors. (b) The laid off developers move to other companies/or are moved to other projects within the same studio/company. © This is usually where DICE LA starts working on the BF titles and things like the CTE Program take off. 5) The retained developers produce DLC / Expansion packs for the next 6-12 months and when the majority of that work is done its time for layoff round 2. The obligatory, "OMG !! WTF?!? LOLCopter" train begins. (a) This is usually when the planning for the next product / version of the franchise starts. (b) In relation to BF this is when DICE LA takes over full time for content development / polishing everything up 6) Everything settles down until the next game / franchise expansion comes around. Rinse / Repeat. This is how its functioned for like forever. Its business as usual. I've seen a LOT of coverage in relation to BF:V not selling as expected. I also have noticed that none of them have taken into account that these are physical copies sales numbers ONLY. I haven't purchased the game as I have the Premier Pass on Origin so I play the game for a monthly fee however I only did this to try the game before buying. I dig the game so I will probably buy it and turn off the Origin pass. Even with the restatement of the earnings estimates this week, they reduced it by 350 million or so, the earnings for EA are still estimated at like 5.2 billion, with a B. If the loot box scandal didn't kill them this surely won't. Honestly this will be a minor blip on the radar when the big picture is looked at.

Schaweet. I got one of these and all the goodies to mod it and make it my own:
-
I wanna wish all of my Armory brothers and sisters a very Merry Christmas. Oh yeah like you didn't expect something music related haha
-
Good to see these guys putting a lot of effort into this game. I haven't played it in a while. May need to patch up and put it in the game rotation for the long weekend.
-
I've watched Acculite play it a few times. The mix of PvE and PvP in the same round is kinda unique. So is the fact that if you die you lose the gear you had on you permanently and have to re buy them of that's what it sounded like to me.
-
The actual game is pretty decent as well. Not as run and gun as a BF or WW3/COD but strategic and the weapons perform well.
-
I was looking around on steam but couldnt find where they had voice packs for sale. Is this something that you have to get someplace else like the Custom DCLs I use with Rocksmith?
-
I want a R Lee Ermy voice pack hahah.
