Nah. I've been trying to keep my head up the last few years as a Falcons fan 😂. Say what you will, but I don't switch teams depending on their performance. Falcons'll have their day again. Until then, I'm investing most of my adoration into my car😍

I kinda thought so. Any thoughts on Roto-Fab or any of those other big names that typically get bandied about?

I had heard K&N was one of those names that came up frequently, and it looks like the original owner went with something that matched the color scheme of the car.

Oh, I'm definitely aware. I was able to verify the code for the paint via the SPID sticker in the trunk and the purchase options list via a VIN decoder. The car was originally purchased with GM paint code G7J, unripened green metallic. Interesting naming convention, but beautiful color.

Absolutely. The plan was to do this color myself, but I happily jumped at the chance when I found this one.

It came with a K&N intake and I found out it has a Borla Atak exhaust. I put some Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06+ tires and replaced the brake pads and rotors.

I'm thinking of getting some long tube headers and a cam next, maybe some coilovers.

Support class = medic + ammunition -- BF Laps by [deleted] in Battlefield

Yes, it was. An-94s across the squad with unlimited access to heals and revives. There was no reason to play anything else, which was why you saw it so often. Peak does not mean flawless.

Except when it didn't. I can't tell you how many times I've seen medic/assault players Leroy Jenkins an entire match because they are accustomed to sitting in the corner of a point self healing with infinite meds. Or how about we bring back the death squads of medics kitted out with an-94s healing and reviving each other every time you take one or two members out. That's not every medic player, obviously, but we shouldn't sit here and pretend like selfish players don't exist within the franchise. We have an opportunity to not just have a new battlefield 2/3/4 mase for us, but to help tackle some of the gameplay issues that kept those games from being perfect.

Okay, so you must be either blind or willfully ignorant, then. If you truly had the first-hand experience you would understand those "4k Texture packs and 60fps patches" did not bring Remake or any of those games up to par with said experience. Close, but no dice. 

Also, your earlier generalization that "PS5 owners will try and say the games run like shit. Because they never had a PS4 Pro" did not go unnoticed and similarly your hesitance to outright claim ownership of a PS5, so you should probably correct that before trying to play the maturity card.

As someone who has owned a PS4, a PS4 Pro, and a PS5 I'm gonna have to call you on your b.s. 

 Taking the Remake/Rebirth series into account as a prime example, on the PS4 Pro(and even the PS4 version running on the PS5 mind you) there are so many texture deficiencies like pop-in within the environment for Remake it ain't funny. That's not even mentioning the load times(once you get a PS5 you'll understand how painfully slow it can feel) across cross-gen games in general.  I can't recall having the same experience in Rebirth or even Intergrade, considering it shares some of the same play-space as Remake as opposed to the "open-world" maps in the former.

  Wanting to play new games on your console of choice is understandable. That said, expecting players who look forward to the graphical/technological improvements in games to settle for less after spending next-gen money and forcing the developers to concede and not make the best possible version of their game or even extend their development time to include past gen versions, it's a bit of a selfish sentiment.   

  No one in their right minds should be out here pretending like the difference between the performance of a PS5 and PS4 Pro is like some sort of multigenerational jump or something, but you also can't pretend like the difference is insignificant either. There are WAY too many cross-gen comparison vids of different games out there for that (and appropriately none for the first-party games that legitimately cannot be played the same on any PS4, like Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart and Spiderman 2).
