Pays for the gun which is smart marketing. Now to install a timed piezo igniter at the muzzle to make it look really cool when it fires.

WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO TotalBF2.com: Can you please comment on "Players can no longer jump and shoot at the same time"? Armando: This is a controversial solution to the problem of “bunny hopping”. First, let me state that it was never intended that the user abuse the ability to fire their guns while jumping. Unfortunately, there are undesirable repercussions to allowing this. What we have done is treated the jump like we do the sprint. If the user initiates the jump, he simply cannot shoot while he’s in the air.This approach was decided upon because it makes jumping an unsavory action during a fire fight. Yes, you can still shoot to avoid being shot at, but you cannot return fire. Many have asked why a stamina system was not implemented. The simple answer is that a stamina system would severely limit your ability to defend yourself or get out of harms way when you needed most to do so. We could have still allowed a minimal jump height, but then the entire purpose of the fix would be defeated since players could still jump and shoot. TotalBF2.com: Are you planning on fixing the C4? (1. allowing the Chucking of C4 then detonating before it lands on the ground.) Armando: Since you cannot fire while jumping, it is no longer possible to “chuck” C4. However, we have not changed how quickly you can switch from the explosive to the detonator. This has limited what can be done with the C4 in terms of usage outside its designed intent. TotalBF2.com: I know there is heated discussion of the m203 being "abused" can you comment on this? Armando: Everyone working on the patch was involved in the creation of Special Forces. We saw first hand what can be done with the grenade launchers (although we focused more on the GP-30). As you can imagine, if there is an exploit, the guys in the office will migrate to it. Before long, everyone was using grenade launchers exclusively during combat situations. The game is much less entertaining on the whole when this occurs. The grenade launcher was designed to give the assault soldier increased ability to fight against vehicles; however it is ever increasingly being used against infantry. We didn’t want to lose this ability, but it is necessary to limit its usefulness against the infantry. TotalBF2.com: Can you please comment on "Hit points on all air vehicles have been reduced", Will one tank shell destroy a helicopter, or put it into critical hit points? Armando: This one is pretty straight forward. Some of the helicopters were more resilient than tanks and as such too difficult to defend against. The hit point reduction balances things out a bit more. Yes, a tank shell will do significant damage to a helicopter. The attack copters will be almost destroyed on impact. While the transport helicopters will take a bit more abuse, but not much.

Bah. You don't need coffee. Rarely drink it. Maybe twice a year. It is all in your mind.

You will still need a sound card though.

Here is something to think about. http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Zenith-Home-Theater-System-ZHD311-/sem/rpsm/oid/118642/catOid/-12954/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do You could get something like this. I have one similar I use at work and the performance is great. Just throw away the speakers. Put the Amp under your monitor. Get a Separate Sub from somewhere and a set of Shielded home speakers. This setup would kick the butt out of any "Computer" speaker setup. For Instance....... Amazon.com: Mission m31i 2-Way Bookshelf Speakers, Pair (Graphite Black): Electronics Get this Sub....... Amazon.com: Advent ASW1200 12" Powered Subwoofer, with Auto Turn-On: Electronics $100 + $115 + $85 = $300 and this will Kick absolute Butt!

I would take the Asus anyday.

Well I think I talk to you guys more than my kids b/c of your computer problems.

That helps too Shooter.

Congradulations!!!!!!!

The first thing you want to do is get an Audigy 2 or 4 of some sort or the New X-FI basic. After that spending money on speakers won't matter. You will be playing games and not using it to listen to music or DVD's with surround sound. The CPU of a computer is like an engine. Why would you use a dirty air cleaner on the engine (Dirty air ='s onboard sound). Going with a sound card processes everything away from the CPU and does it much better than Software based AC97 or whatever onboard sound chip is used for that matter. You will gain better sound. You will gain FPS. You will gain smoother gameplay. You will gain EAX localization which will enable you to get more frags. It will make your system function so much better. The sound channels availible to the AC97 is limited by the audio codec/processing and therefore it will hamper you. Just b/c it works now does not mean it cannot be better. You will be better off Spending $120 on a Creative X-FI sound card and then $150 on a good 2.1 system. That will kick the crap out of a $300 speaker system on AC97 onboard. Spending much more than $150 on a 2.1 computer system will not gain you much. Just as spending $500 on a set of home speakers vs $5000 on a set of speakers. You never get 10 times the performance. Does that make sense now? It would be like buying a Porche and going to Pepboys and getting the cheapest tires for it. Sure they look good on the car but it will suck at everything else. I have been an Audiophile for well since I got my First Luxman receiver and Alpine car radio at 16. I had two jobs and earned them. It is worth the money to get decent stuff to a point. I have been to two Stereophile Magazine CES Conventions in NYC, talked and reviewed numerous technolgies over the years. I have a good idea of what works and what doesn't. When it comes to computers. I am a Hardware person all the way. Get a sound card. You wont regret it.

Wasn't super realistic. Super cheesey was more like it.

I have run out of CO2 before. When you waste two or three hoppers a round. This will happen. I carry a spare 9oz tank just in case. I use a 12oz for my main. As far as the propane gas and its restrictions. Co2 and other compressed gases have 125deg temp constraints b/c of storage issues and other limitations. All can kill by ephyxiation. Propane is just flamable. I look forward to conversion kits if possible.

Yup. Maybe i'll go 300 in a day. Thanks Caste. Killer....... How do you think we do it? We just don't post useful stuff all the time.

Whats amazing is the first guy cracked off two rounds. One in each target.

No highs no lows....... Must be Bose. I have heard Bose before. They do have creative designs but then make them as cheap as possible for the masses. Sort of like Major brand light beer. It is brewed for the masses with a bland taste so as not to upset anyone. Not too much sizzle or bass in otherwords. Before you start buying. What is your intent with the computer and speaker system? This will dictate what you should buy. This is very important since choices are abundant. You can go crazy and get this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16836116142 Or you can go simple and get this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16836127106 As far as input goes. You would be hard pressed to tell the difference between Optical/Coaxial digital input and 3.5mm mini jacks going to the speakers. Anyone wanna start debating double blind, level matching, listening tests? Also THX is just a sales gimick. Double blind test a THX vs Non THX with matched volume levels and you Cannot tell the difference. This is a fact. As far as the build quality that THX specifies. Most good equipment will pass. It just costs money to certify it.

Oh of course those Canadian Dudes that drink a lot, Eh?

Basically it's money spent on new (unlocks) weapons for BF2. Thats how I look at it.

Does that mean Tigerhawk for you?

Hmmmmmm. Interesting.

I tried thet mod Defcon and I hope we are talking about the same one b/c to me it really blew. My kids even uninstalled it.

Congrats!
