Bad Luck In Bad Company 2

As I spend more time with Battlefield: Bad Company 2, certain patterns begin to make themselves painfully clear. These unfortunate truths fall under the Farrell Rule, which simply states: If there is a chance that something terrible can happen to you while benefiting the enemy, not only will it absolutely happen, but at some point your opponent will luck into the exact opposite of your bad experience.


Combat Knife

You... make your way to the top floor of a ruined building. An enemy sniper is peering out of a window, oblivious to your approach as you position yourself directly behind him and attack with your knife. As your stabbing animation takes over, the sniper takes a lucky step back from the window and suddenly your character is looking up at the ceiling. Before you regain control, the sniper shoots you point blank in the back of the head with his sidearm.

They... rush towards you from a good twenty feet away. There is no cover between the two of you, nothing to shield their exposed form. You pull up your shotgun and unload, hitting him square in the chest three times. Unfazed, he plunges the knife into your face.

Snipers

You... realize that half of your team has picked the Recon class. Most of them park on a hilltop for the duration of a match. They get a few kills, rarely use air strikes, and generally keep your team from gaining any momentum. Their clans have names like Hell's Commandos and Kill Team Delta and Daddy's Little Snipers.


They... have two people playing Recon, and each is the greatest sniper in the history of the shitty, game destroying class. Every time you run from cover to cover, you get shot in the head by a sniper. Every time you take cover, another sniper shoots you from a distant hill to your side. Every building you try to defend or chokepoint you hope to assault is relentlessly pummeled by air strikes. Every time you start to have any fun whatsoever, a sniper shoots you in the head.

Wrong Buttons

You... attempt to take out a medic kit/ammo box in order to help out the teammates that are gathered in a small room with you, but accidentally mash the grenade key. Friendly fire is on.

They... accidentally fling a medic kit/ammo box in the middle of a one-on-one firefight with you. It bounces directly off your face, making your aim go wild for a moment as the enemy switches to a grenade launcher and one-shots you.

Pilots

You... settle into the gunner seat, pumping yourself up with Ride Of The Valkyries as the helicopter pilot takes off, does a backflip, and crashes on the landing pad.

They... are pleased to discover that their helicopter pilot is an unstoppable force, mowing down your team all match long, neatly evading tracer darts and rocket fire, and winning a Helicopter Pilot Of The Year Award. You didn't know they even made that award.

Rounding Corners

You... duck against a wall momentarily. Just as you're reloading your weapon, a full squad of the enemy sweeps around the corner. You're hit with so many lethal shots at once that the game doesn't know who to credit with the kill.

They... take out the defibrillator and get ready to revive a fallen teammate. Just as they apply the paddles, you step around the corner and walk directly into the lethal shock.


Team Stacking

You... frown as your team falls behind by one point, and half of them immediately switch to the winning side. Have fun with that 10 vs 22 match, and don't expect any reply but "cry more, n00b" when you ask for people to even things out. How they know you're actually crying in real life is a mystery.

They... find that when their team falls behind by one point in a 16 vs 16 game, the best player from your team switches to their side to "even things out".

Roadkill


You... run over someone at full speed with an tank and they don't die.


They... plant C4 on an ATV and detonate it, sending the vehicle sailing across the map, directly onto your head as you parachute to your spawn point.

World Of Warcraft Gaming Computer recommendations – build custom WoW gaming PC

More than 12 million players worldwide play World of Warcraft – are you one of them, or would you like to try it for yourself? Then you will need to know what computer is good (or better) to play it the way it meant to be. We are not talking about an average PC where you set settings to low-mid and run around, we look at the computers that let you maximize WoW display settings and resolutions. World of Warcraft may be quite an old game but it still does shine when you turn all of the settings to the max. Have you ever caught yourself on top of the Stormwind Harbor enjoying water view? With the right computer you definitely will!

A lot of people play WoW on regular basic computers or cheap laptops, and World of Warcraft actually lets you do that because it has really low minimum system requirements. It can be even run on netbooks on low settings. And we can’t blame you, at the end there are people who don’t care about graphics but just enjoy the gameplay itself, storyline, communication, dynamics and atmosphere. But ask yourself why some old black and white movies had been rebuilt in color? Because they are interesting too and probably they look better in color! Same goes for World Of Warcraft – it looks and plays so much better on powerful computers with maximum settings and resolutions. You will catch yourself simply enjoying beautiful scenes, landscapes, sunsets – you will see this game in completely new perspective.

Now what is it about a computer that will let you enjoy WoW as we have indicated above? First of all it should be a gaming computer – not some regular desktop from popular retail store or cheap notebook. And gaming computers are really different from all that no matter how many times you hear the opposite. Regular computer manufacturers try to lower the costs by installing cheap hardware, crappy onboard graphics, stock coolers, even those cases they use do not inspire anyone let alone hardcore gamers. Gaming computer is built and optimized for maximum performance, that comes at a price sometimes, but so do Mercedes and BMW compared to well known minivans :O) It pays off to have a great custom built computer what it comes to PC games.

Lets start from the beginning – most important hardware parts that will affect your gaming and WoW experience in particular – CPU (central processing unit – processor for short) and videocard (or GFX, graphics accelerator, video adapter). These two parts will have the greatest impact on FPS (frames per second) when resolution and all settings are set to maximum.
CPU – processor affects speed of the computer overall, no matter what you do. There are some processor intensive applications like video editing and gaming, so it pays of to have the best CPU you can afford. I general any modern dual core processor will be good for World of Warcraft, but we have some recommendations as to what would be more efficient and will not hit your pocket hard. Right now you can select between great AMD and Intel offerings.
AMD has many dual and quad core processors that are really cost efficient and will be a great option for WoW. For example Athlon II X2 240 with 2.8Ghz would be our minimum recommendation, it’s great for mid-high settings and monitors up to 22”, and it’s really cheap, can be paired with inexpensive motherboard and either DDR2 or DDR3 memory – lots of options to build low priced computer. If you want to really play on max settings in any WoW game zone and biggest raids – you will need one of the Phenom II processors, and while there are some dual and triple core editions we would recommend Phenom II X4 945 or better to stick with. Those quad cores are not expensive and can be a base for really great gaming machine under $1000 that will play any game.

Intel – still offers Core 2 processors that are great for WoW but are a little outdated. If you want really cheap computer – stick with AMD, if you want something little more expensive - got for new i3/i5/i7 CPU line. Most affordable would be Core i3 530 that can be paired with mid range H55 motherboard and DDR3 memory. It is just a dual core but has hyper threading making it virtual Quad and Turbo-Boost that increases CPU frequency based on the load, works especially good with single threaded applications and WoW. To make sure you will never see FPS drop below 30 you can pick i5 750 which is less than a $100 more but it’s a real Quad Core processor that will not let you down in any scenario (get P55 chipset motherboard with it). And finally Core i7 – the king, excellent performance in all applications and games, probably an overkill for WoW but it’s a great investment since it will not be outdated for quite some time.

Videocard – second in importance, sometimes first, depends on the game you play. Videocards create picture you see on your monitor, more complicated images require more power form your videocard. Some integrated adapter is fine for Windows and internet browsing but it will not play any real game the way it should be. You will need separate videocard to use high resolutions and settings. There are many popular videocards on the market, for WoW you can pick one of the older ones since thay can be cheap and still offer excellent World Of Warcraft gaming experience. From bottom to top our recommendations are:
ATI Radeon 4650 512Mb DDR3
Nvidia GeForce GT 220 512Mb or 1Gb DDR2 or DDR3
ATI Radeon 4670 1Gb DDR3
Nvidia GeForce GT 240 512Mb DDR5 (better than 1Gb DDR3)
Nvidia GeForce 9800GT 512Mb DDR3 (older but with super performance – your best pick for now)
ATI Radeon 5670 1Gb GDDR5 (can have some issues with drivers but good performer)
Nvidia GeForce GTS 250 1Gb DDR3
ATI Radeon 5750 1Gb GDDR5
Anything more expensive would probably not give you much of a benefit for the money you pay. When you set Shades to the Ultra it will stress even most expensive videocards so everyone plays with High anyways, all other settings can be set on maximum as well as resolution with up to 28” monitor if you pick one of the last cards on the list.

Memory – If you have at least 4Gb of RAM you don’t have to worry about too much. Even if you have only 2Gb and still using Windows XP you are good to go if you are on a tight budget. Windows Vista or “7” will be much better with 4Gb RAM if you want to have something left for WoW. Just watch for the memory type that is compatible with your CPU and motherboard. Like all i3/i5/i7 will require DDR3 memory, some AMD processors work with DDR2, they are about the same price now so you’d better pick DDR3 since it’s newer and faster. Memory varies be speed, like DDR2 can be 667Ghz, most popular 800Mhz and faster 1066Mhz which does not work with all processors and motherboards. If you get DDR3 then you’d better go with 1600Mhz as the most cost efficient, popular, supported RAM. If you are thinking about 6 or 8Gb, then keep in mind that WoW does not need it, you have some other apps that will use that much – go for it. Of course if you pick i7 CPU with X58 board then you should get 6Gb triple channel memory kit for the best performance.

Motherboard – not so important as long as it’s more or less modern. Just watch for CPU and RAM compatibility. For AMD processors better pick some AM3 board with DDR3 memory support, good chipsets are 785G, 790GX, 890GX, 790X. Some cheaper ones are GeForce 6100/6150/7025, or AMD 740, 760, 780G. For Intel – it all depends on CPU you pick. For Core 2 you better go with P55, or if you don’t have a lot to spend you can get P43 or G41 – really cut down in features but will do for now. Core i3 and i5 Dual core better work with H55, Quad Core i5 and i7 LGA1156 need P55, Socket LGA1366 Core i7 need X58 chipset. Some motherboards like AMD 785G or 890GX have pretty good onboard video that can play WOW but don’t expect too much from it, it can be fine for some time if you are saving for the new videocard for example.

Hard Drive – modern drives do not differ too much, get one with SATA interface and 7200RPM speed, and it will be fine. There are some “green” HDDs with 5400RPM but they are better for storage not for gaming. SSD (solid state) are still too expensive and not popular. WD VelociRaptor model with 10000RPM is an excellent choice if you can afford it, really cuts down loading times.

Power supply – depends on you CPU and videocard. Always make sure that you get reputable brand, or at least read some reviews if you are not sure or want to save some money. There are good cheap PSU out there but you have to be careful picking one. More expensive ones are usually better, some good brands are: Antec, Corsair, Thermaltake, Cooler Master. If your videocard does not require extra 6pin PCI-e power connector then you should be good with 400-500W minimum, better videocards work good on 500-600W power supplies. For all videocards listed above you do not need more than 600W even with i7 CPU but you can surely pick any PSU you like with more power if you think you may need it.

Case – some think it’s not important – they didn’t see real gaming cases. Advanced chassis for gaming computers not only looks good with LEDs and side windows, but it also cools good. There are usually bigger than average fans (120-200m), there are more of those fans, perforated panels for better ventilation, advanced PSU and fan placement, hideouts for professional cabling and much more.

CPU Cooler – one more thing that makes gaming computers different - use of aftermarket coolers. Good CPU cooler works quieter and more efficient than stock ones. Aftermarket cooler will prolong life of your processor making it work on lower temperatures and will allow overlocking – speeding up CPU without harm to it as long as temps are within limits. For example Core i7 920 with cooler Xigmatek Dark Knight can work on 3.6Ghz frequency instead of 2.66Ghz default. It makes a lot of difference!

DVD, Blue-Ray, Wireless, card readers – all those parts do not affect your WoW gameplay, unless of course your wireless adapter drops connection all the time.

OS – Operating System. World of Warcraft works good on Windows XP, it requires less power from the computer. We would recommend you to skip Vista all together. Windows 7 64bit is the best operating system for any modern computer and that is what we recommend to get today. Try to get at least 4Gb RAM with it.

Monitor – as big as you can get! If you computer would not be powerful enough for it’s highest resolution in games – you can always turn resolution down, but WOW looks so good on 1920x1080 res that you should do all you can to play on it.

Well, that covers pretty much everything you need to know about gaming computer for World of Warcraft. On a side note – I have played it on AMD X2 5000+ overclocked to 2.8Ghz and integrated GeForce 6150 with only 2Gb RAM. It is playable on 1280x768 resolution with mid-low settings, so don’t worry if you don’t have much money now. You can always upgrade your computer later

MLB 10 The Show - PS3 Brings Gamers Into Baseball Like Never Before

The controls that this Playstation 3 game works with are very easy to handle. To hit the ball a player will aim for the ball with the left stick and then use the right stick to adjust whether the bat can be swung up or down. For pitching the user can aim pitches and select different pitch options with the sticks while using a separate system to control the accuracy and strength of the pitch. A variety of different controls for fielding are also available including a new feature where a user can go for a light or hard pickoff attempt.

A number of different options are available with regards to what players can do in this game. The Franchise mode is incredibly in depth in that a player can control one's baseball team in a variety of ways. These include controls of minor leagues, handling transactions and even dealing with the Rule 5 draft. Players can also maintain their own stadiums and upgrade them with money from ticket sales and concessions that a player can customize.

The Road to the Show mode is making its return this year. This is a unique and realistic feature where a player can create a character and go from the minors to the big leagues.

The Catcher Mode is another great thing to see here. This is an impressive and well run feature where a player can play a game from the catcher's perspective and decide which pitches a pitcher should use plus manage various aspects of a game.

The realism that is brought to the table with this game is second to none. In MLB 10 the player appearances and animations are incredibly lifelike. All thirty MLB stadiums are well rendered and play just like their real life counterparts. Even the sound is true to what can be heard at a ball game. In fact players can record and import their own customized cheers with a USB microphone.

Even the gameplay is great to see. The gameplay works with tens of thousands of different scripts for the AI to work with in a number of situations. Thanks to this no two games can truly be alike.

All of these features are ones that are notable for any player to see. From the realistic and detailed game modes to the realism of the AI and the surroundings of a game MLB 10 The Show truly brings people in baseball like never before.

How to Make Coins in FIFA 10 Ultimate Team

You've probably heard of the generic, "Buy low, sell high," as trading advice. There are tons of different ways to earn lots of coins without buying any cards at all! If there is one section you should pay attention to, this is it! For more tips and tricks on playing FUT, download the FIFA 10 Ultimate Team strategy guide.

1. Play in Single Player Tournaments. Profit Potential = 300 to 600 coins per game.

Enter tourneys against CPU to earn coins. Win every game at least 3-0, and earn around 500 to 600 coins. Most tourneys pay out around 500 to 1500 coins as a trophy bonus. Remember: use your 2nd team to earn coins while preserving your best players' contracts and protecting them from injury.

2. Play in Online Tournaments. Profit Potential = 200 to 800 coins per game.

Online tournaments pay more coins due to the DNF modifier and online modifier. If you win a game 3-0 online, you can get 700+ coins easily. If you quit a game, then your DNF modifier drops. You get fewer coins in future tourney wins.

3. Play in Single Player Match. Potential = 300 to 600 coins per game.

Again, same as tourneys w/o the tournament bonus factor.

4. Play in Online Match. Profit Potential = 200 to 800 coins per game.

Same as tourneys w/o the trophy bonus factor.

5. Bronze Pack Method. Potential = 600 to 750 coins on AVERAGE.

A very popular method where you purchase bronze packs then resell the contents for profit. This has been less effect recently ever since the trading market crashed. Each pack gives you 2-3 players (sell for 200 each), kits & balls (200 each), and contracts & managers (150 to 300 each). The main problem is you NEED TO SELL your inventory to make any money. Since bronze cards have the least value, you may experience days without selling anything.

6. Silver Pack Method. Profit Potential = 750 to 25k Coins per pack.

Same as the bronze pack but with silver cards. Carry a slightly higher value, plus adds the possibility to obtain a rare silver card in the process.

7. Gold Pack Method. Profit Potential = 500 coins to 1 million coins per pack.

The elite profit method for packs. Has the ability to generate anywhere from 500 coins to 1 million coins profit per pack. This is due to the luck factor if you pull a Ronaldo, Messi, or other HIGH rated player in a gold pack.

8. Buy, Boost, Bank. Profit Potential = 1k to 50k coins extra profit per card.

A fairly underground method used to generate more profit from an otherwise lower value card.

Example

We buy a Valencia RW 4-3-2-1 w/ 7 contracts on the open market for 3k. We could resell immediately for 4k and get a small profit. With Buy, Boost, Bank, we increase the value of the card by:

* Adding 33 contracts

* Adding Player Attributes increase to highlight the card

* Changing the formation to 4-3-3

* then Setting the auction for 9k BIN.

Do you see what we did? Now, a Valencia buyer can use this card RIGHT AWAY in his 4-3-3 formation without worrying about contracts or chemistry. The Player attributes also generates extra attention since the rating attributes cause the card to get highlighted in the listing.

9. The Professional Trader. Profit Potential = 5k to 200k per card.

This method works really well when you find out which players sell the best.

1. Sort auctions by Gold, Minimum Price = 4k coins

2. See what is selling well and create a list of 10 to 15 players

3. Search for these players at the lowest BIN price

4. Buy it then resell the card at a higher price

5. Rinse and Repeatedly

You will eventually get good at recognizing deals in the marketplace, and become an expert "trader."

10. Buy during Non-Peak hours, Sell during Peak hours. Profit Potential = 2k to 100k coins per card.

Another good method is when you buy cards during a cooled off market during the night, then sell in a higher volume market during the afternoon-evening. Most people play FUT between 4pm and 4am in their time zone. You simply stay up late at night when others are sleeping to pick up bargains. Wait until tomorrow and sell during the afternoon at a higher price. This method is REALLY popular and is currently the largest thread in the UK FUT forums.

11. Pump and Dump. Profit Potential = 1k to 50k coins per card

This strategy takes careful monitoring of 1 specific player. You buy up as many of the player as possible, creating a short supply in the marketplace. This pumps up prices to your advantage. Once the demand is there, you unload your cards at a higher price as you meet the demand.

Example

We buy every Robinho for under 5k, then hold. Wait until the marketplace is absent of Robinho or has a low supply. Then you unload your Robinho's 1 by 1, giving you FULL control over the market supply.

12. Contract Drug Dealer. Profit Potential = 250 to 1k coins per contract.

Everybody is addicted to contracts. Make easy coins by feeding this addiction with a few minutes of your time.

Example

Search for any gold contracts under 400 BIN. Buy them all then resell them immediately at 500+ BIN. They sell very easily and it's some quick and easy coins.

13. eBay Auctions. Time Savings = 1 hour to 1 week.

Did you know you can buy coins on eBay?!? Yep. You can get around 4k coins for every $1 dollar. That's a pretty good bargain if you have more money than time.

Example

It takes you 15 minutes on average to complete 1 tournament game. You earn 600 coins. For every 1 hour, you generate 2400 coins plus 600 trophy bonus equalling 3k coins per hour. This is your average hourly earnings.

With eBay, you get 4k coins for every dollar. If your time is worth $10 USA dollars per hour, then you are valuing your time at 75 cents per hour if you play the tournaments. Play the tourneys for fun, not if coins is your #1 motivation. Using eBay, you can purchase 100k coins for $25 dollars, thus saving you over 30 hours of playing tournaments. Do you see how powerful this leverage is? Do a eBay search for Ultimate Team coins to leverage your time quickly.

14. Buy MSN or PSN Network Points. Profit Potential = Unlimited.

I started out with this method 1st to get the ball rolling right away. You simply purchase points through Amazon.com then purchase packs and/or players.

Note: Because of an Xbox 360 glitch, Ea sports suspended the use of MSN points for packs temporarily. They are working hard on this issue and I expect MSN points to be back hopefully by the end of March. No guarantees here. Just my guess:)

15. FUT Coin Contests. Profit Potential = 5k to 20k coins.

A few generous gamers give away coins if you answer weird questions correctly like "What is my Birthday? Or How many times did I have sex last weekend?" If you have a few minutes to spare, why not try your luck and see what happens?
