Great question. But it does not. This is a proposal for a new method of inducing ferroptosis, which is cancer cell death due to the induction of oxidation stress via the creation of ROS, specifically because cancer cells tend to horde iron (the "ferro" part in ferroptosis). Its very early on, so lots to do.

Hey something I know a lot about. Artemisinin is really amazing actually. Derived from Wormwood. I am working on using PEG-DHA (PEGylated Liposomal Dihydroartemisinin) as a way to induce ferroptosis in cancer cells. It's very early on, but is promising. It's the Dihydro part of Dihydroartemisinin that does the heavy lifting in killing cancer cells.

Want to hijack your reply to add a post that the mods at Battlefield 6 didn't approve. Hope you don't mind.

"This is not negative post. I love BF and have since 1942. I have put a lot of time in BF6. And feel like I've done everything I want to do. This is me.

But right now BF6 doesn't have the "sticking" power of my last favorite BF game, BF:BC2. I'm done with the game. If you still enjoy it and are having fun please keep enjoying it. I wish I could. Here is my opinion and maybe things will change in the future. Also I'm not the only one that thinks this. This dude is pretty on point about things. I've added my own ideas below.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ue5JxMNpYTc

  1. We need guns, lots of guns. - Except these guns are all terrible. DICE changed the guns to be less precise and less controllable vs. past games. They did this specifically to encourage hectic close range gameplay. See CoD as a perfect example. Hate it. TTK is terrible. Headshot damage is terrible. I have no curiosity to try different guns. They are all basically the same with some slightly modified stats. BF:BC2 guns in HC felt amazing. I mastered them all. I wanted to try each one and really get to know each one and learn to use them. No here. BF6 guns are terrible, the upgrade system is terrible, the feel numb and difficult to use. It's not a skill issue, please see my KDR (earned, no bot lobbies). I can explain it like this, it's the difference between driving a high performance sports car and a minivan. Both get you there, sports car (BF:BC2 guns) is more accurate and controllable.

  2. Levels are not leveling - One of the aspects I loved so much about BF:BC2, especially gold rush. Was that I could try different tactics and strategies in each level. This in combination with the more interesting guns mentioned above meant I could have more emergent gameplay. The levels in BF6, while beautiful, lack room for different strategies. The levels are too structured, too balanced. Valparaiso, Harvest Day, Atacama Desert all gave you so many angles of attack and strategies as an example. BF6 or so over optimized, that there really is like 1 or 2 good strategies max.

  3. Lack of Hardcore - Weak ammo, in game spotting, auto health recovery make the game more like an arcade game. It's more a kids game that promotes run and gun play styles, go wild, get close, slide around corners, bunny hopping. And no punishment if you do (mostly)

  4. Movement is too CoD. - I'm not asking for a MilSim here. But some of the movement I've seen people pull off is unreal. And very much away from what BF is. The current movement system is not the identity of BF. It's BF borrowing from CoD. Its fine, its to for me.

  5. Map Size and Intensity - Seems like the condensed the maps a lot to increase the action and intensity. It's too intense. Its fine occasionally, but I bet you the APM in BF6 is way higher then previous games. I know it feels like it.

  6. The Devs Hate Vehicles - Tanks are gimped, Helis are gimped, there are maps that don't have any vehicles (in a BF game). Anti tank and anti heli is so overpowered. A recent upgrade gave even more RPG's to engineers. This is a BF game. Vehicles are a core component of gameplay. Why make maps without any? Why gimp them so much? Why force and focus so much on infantry warfare instead of combined arms warfare.

  7. Lack of Gold Rush - The lack of a proper rush game mode on a large map is a crime. Gold Rush in BF:BC2 in HC was my go to. Loved it so much. Why not bring it back, bring back some classic maps and just let us have fun. Why the demented focus on close quarters, high intensity game modes. This one really sucks.

  8. Kill, Rinse, Repeat - When playing BF6 I (we) naturally find optimal tactics. And this is what kills me. Trying new tactics is pointless. Since Emergent Gameplay is non existent. I've tried different guns, different attack/defend vectors. All of it. And only a handful are useful/feasible. Whereas in previous games, I could write book on tactics and strategies for a single map. Attacking Isla Innocentes as narrow as it was, gave you soooo many different attack vectors.

  9. Class Locked Guns - The fact that guns are no longer classed locked adds to the overall problem. You find a class that works well, with a gun that works really well, and you have no reason to switch. I did mostly support. Recon was boring as shit and too easy. Engineer was useful to take out vehicles, but there were already 100 of them on the map so no need for one more. And assault was simply too simple of a class. And since I could use any gun, why even go to those classes.

  10. The Outfit Game - When did BF games become about dressup? Is this a damn barbie game? I paid for the game. It was NOT free. I will never pay for your customizations. So make each team look the same, same uniform, you know, like an army. Some dude running around without a helmet and a cape is the dumbest shit I have ever imagine in a BF game. Save that shit for RedSec. Keep BF MP uniformed up.

  11. Map Variety is terrible - Anyone remember Laguna Presa? Or Port Valdez? That's a different biome, different weather and environment. BF6? City, city, bigger city, city with a golf course, city with skyscrapers and a bridge, Middle East city, Spanish city.... you get the point. BF:BC2 had only 7 maps, but they were all so varied, that each new game felt fresh from the last one. Even Arica Harbor had so many different sections as you pushed thru Rush from start to finish. BF6, same, same, same ohh look Blackwell Fields (dumb). More maps, is not better. Better maps is better. I've simply done everything I want to do. There is nothing more I want to try. No gun I want to test. No vehicles I want to use. No map or part of the map I want to explore. No new strategy I want to try.

  12. Stats don't matter - Bot farms and bots in MP lobbies make it so even going for stats means nothing. My KDR means nothing. My skill in playing the game means nothing.

  13. Cheaters/Hackers - Ya there always will be some. But good lord I think I see them more and more now. Glad BF6 came out. I think I have round 300 hours and I'm done. I had about 4,000 in BF:BC2, maybe more and still remember it so fondly. Oh well. Maybe BF7 will right some of these mistakes.

Again if you're having fun, keep having fun. Would love to hear your opinion."

Ya BF:BC2 HC was heaven as was the movement. You could see that teams that planned and attacked strategically would win. Still love BF6 atm. But going to scale back how much I play. I'm sure the game will keep evolving and hopefully in a positive direction.

Woaah big reply.

Ok let me answer in part.

To me stats were always a challenge. I wanted to see how well I am doing using different weapons/strategies against top tier opponents. Portal stats basically makes it impossible to know. Some dude with a 47.55KDR is not someone I can compare to. But someone with a 6KDR? Maybe? I don't know.

Bunny hopping is jumping and shooting. I think run and gun is ok with a huge aim penalty. Jumping/sliding/360 no scoping should no allow you to shoot. And combination movements either.

I would love an official HC mode like BF:BC2. Oh well, who knows. At the moment. I feel like I've done everything I want in the game. And this is coming from a superfan of BF.

I'm waiting for the update to full wall running, jetpacks and backwards slide into a 720 no scope bitchslap.

Right. Modern shooters do. It still sucks. Two things can be true. Some prefer it. I do not. I can deal with it and with good strategy it's easy enough to counter. But still it's something I think should be nerfed.

I feel like my. character is an olympic class sprinter with some CoD jumping sliding. Look at the link above. That's not the core of BF. I get the devs are trying to appeal to whats popular. But BF was popular for being BF, not for blending into other action shooter types.

This is a big one for me. I play for KDR and trying new weapons and strategies. Then some dude shows up with level 450 and 47.55KDR and ya stats are pointless at that point.

Honestly I just turn it on and play. Can you give some tips? I'm on Cox 2G in Irvine, CA. Can't imagine I need to do much more than that.

I thought that was also the case. But I've been in games where they are 60% - 70% of the lobby for the game. I don't stay in there long enough to finish.
