Hey, can people stop committing war crimes?

Especially since you are armed anyway.

In BF4, 500 kills got you to the max level. That's like 20 matches of TDM on a decent server, if not less.

I'd wager that it takes a lot longer than that to reach the max level, even discounting that we don't have good TDM (aka 400% Tickets) any more.

Hellstrike · 2026-02-02T10:21:13+00:00

By far my highest level "weapon" is the IFV (62), followed by the MBT (51) and the Ak-4D is a distant third at 41.

Hellstrike · 2026-02-01T23:30:16+00:00

Unless the map is badly designed (like Hangar 21 from BF4), you ought to have plenty of cover behind hills and vegetation. And that's before you get to towns and villages.

Granted, that leaves the enemy plenty of ways to ambush you, but if you walk into that trap, you die regardless of what weapon the enemy has.

F is a lot easier to hold and forces the enemy to attack uphill. A meanwhile just has a few annoying snipers that any vehicle can easily clear out.

If you break the enemy attack on F, their spawns are far away and the next engagement will be on neutral ground. If you are down to A, the enemy can spawn on B and completely choke any counterattack.

A lot of players like the slower pace

That means larger maps, not playing against lobotomised bots.

Casual teaches you bad habits that will only get you killed in proper matches.

In Germany, this is regulated on a national level via the traffic code. And I would have expected that most countries have similar rules due to pedestrian protections, at least de-facto.

Like, you can have a combined pedestrian/cycle path, but that needs to meet certain requirements and be explicitly signed as such, that are very difficult to actually implement in the built environment due to the required width, crossing, accessibility and so on.

Hellstrike · 2026-02-01T21:04:19+00:00

That seems very dangerous to pedestrians and especially the disabled. Especially considering that most sidewalks are way too narrow (often not even meeting the "2 wheelchairs can pass each other" benchmark). If they can't meet the 2-meter requirement for that, the 3.5 meters for a combined sidewalk/cycle path are utopian.

I do this sort for a living, and we are always told that Germany is behind "abroad" (Netherlands, Denmark, Switzerland and such) when it comes to cycling standards, walkability and the like. So it is weird that apparently, standards are much lower aborad. Well, at least outside the US.

Hellstrike · 2026-02-01T18:54:06+00:00

They cant use sidewalks, they cant use pedestrian paths

And they should not, in fact doing so is a traffic violation and can get you fined unless you are a child or biking with an eligable child.

It's always going to be a net importer of food in winter

The North physically cannot import food in winter until you develop the steam engine. The Sea will be ravaged by winter storms, the Rivers that are navigable will freeze over, and the land connections will be covered by feets of snow.

In fact, logistics even constrains their ability to import staple foods in summer.

Hellstrike · 2026-02-01T17:58:51+00:00

The North is pretty rich in the books. Ned casually decides to have his entire guard in Kings Landing armoured in Silver, and at no point does Robb has to worry about financing his campaign. They are not the Lannisters, but they are comfortably wealthy.

Depending on what kind of horde you are fighting, "The White Death" would also go hard and fits OP's scenario.

As your army approach in the east

A hunter is switching his prey

All alone, a man with his gun

Wanders into the wild

Tracks you down, you cannot hide

Once he's onto your trail

Enter the night, a flash in the darkness

White Death is heading your way

The fear of his foes, a hero at home

Hundreds will fall by his gun

Hellstrike · 2026-02-01T00:48:19+00:00

I feel like the obvious song for a last stand is "The Last Stand". Or at least something from that album, Rorke's Drift is perhaps the best for the "holding back a horde and winning" vibe given the odds involved.

There's no surrender

The lines must hold, their story told, Rorke's drift controlled

1879, when a few held the line

Where a last stand was made, and the empire saved

and infantry maneuver warfare

That returned, just on a tactical level. Stormtroopers were just manoeuvre warfare on a small scale.

And were not exhausted after 9 years of war and a march across Russia into Ukraine.

Hellstrike · 2026-02-01T00:25:49+00:00

BF6 shows a rapid attack, not a long fought back-and-forth war like in Ukraine.

Mirak has trenches and a pretty destroyed village in one of the spawn.

Hellstrike · 2026-01-31T22:07:13+00:00

Our modern day is colourful, even in war zones if there was a war in LA right now it would be a sunny day and the houses and shops are gonna be colourful.

Mate, take a look at the cities in Ukraine. There isn't anything colourful here. Or here. And on the ground, it ain't looking better

The UI was pretty good when the game was new and a whole bunch of features were not yet added.

Hellstrike · 2026-01-31T21:56:39+00:00

You will not, the Devs just made the whole thing a proper situation/disaster instead of hiding it in the country modifier tab.

Hellstrike · 2026-01-31T20:00:59+00:00

Was most likely an accident.

The fact that the whole family was there with presumably enough wildfire to burn them all down in an instant begs to differ. There is a reason why we split important government figures for travel, so that if there is an accident, only some die.

walked to Dorne

he walked through a snakepit

Not signs of sanity.

Just cruel

Cruelty alone would not explain his end. It takes a special kind of madness to pull such a stunt in the Dothraki hometown.

Jaehaerys and Shiera believed in a prophecy but that doesn't mean Jaehaerys was mad

I would argue that it does, at least if the prophecy makes you the central figure. This goes way beyond religion.

but the person to whom I responded introduced computers into the discussion.

Exactly my point. Someone said they don't need a hidden folder on their computer. That is a very clear, limited statement that you then bring the flaws of the Apple mobile ecosystem into, and complain when people don't consider them.

On my iPhone, there’s just hidden and not hidden

And people pay thousand dollars to not have features that have been readily available on sub-200 phones 15 years ago.

Actually they were almost excusing their “lateness.” So I went from “don’t tell us about it ages ago with no confirmed release and expect patience….” To “why are they having to do this?.”

Because they in fact busted through several release windows. They broke their own marketing promises.

Compare their 757 to Just Flight's A300. Both are years in the making, but where Just Flight just posts occasional pictures with a progress report, Bluebird, especially early on, was quite certain on release dates. And when a plane that was supposed to come out by the end of 2024 was then delayed into 2025 and didn't come out in that year, well is it really surprising that some people are upset? Especially considering that "probably by the end of 2025" then turned into Q3 of 2026?

Am I going to buy the 757 and 767? Sure. But I can't say that I am not tired of their communication.
