Good luck finding gaming drivers for the Quadro. I'd imagine that would bring a sh*tstorm of issues with both new and older games. The Quadro is a workstation card for graphics rendering and engineering/architecture programs. Also; Windows 8 Pro GIGABYTE Z77X-UD3H Intel Core i7 3770K 6GB OCZ Reaper nVidia GeForce GTX 670 2x 1TB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 23" LG LED IPS 1080p Display Razer Black Widow Ultimate Razer Imperator NZXT Apollo Detail settings: Crysis 3 - Ultra Battlefield 4 - Ultra Elder Scrolls Skyrim - Ultra Counter Strike GO - Ultra Guild Wars 2 - Ultra But it's already obsolete.

That's your prerogative. I'm sure any tester or programming language literate person would probably understand why with how few people we have working on it.

That happens all over the place. lol @ his name being 'Miranda' though. Very fitting.

I'd be careful with that for performance reasons too. FSAA and FSAF make frame rates plummet quickly. I'd only use FSAA for screenshots. I like playing with 60fps average with 30fps in stressful situations. Not 30fps with 15fps under heavy load.

I have to strongly disagree with most of that. I had my first ride along with a Field Training Officer of a smaller, local department, and he said he likes people asking genuine questions about the job, and having real interest in the work. He was happy I showed up in slightly better than casual attire. I wore jeans, but I wore nice jeans, not ripped ones, I had clean shoes and a buttoned shirt with an undershirt, un-tucked. During the ride along he asked me about what was motivating my interest in the work, I told him about myself, I asked him about why he joined, what he thought was hard about the job, what he thought was entertaining. He quizzed me a bit to see about my mindset and morals. I don't remember all the questions, but two that stuck with me (which I answered correctly) were; 1.) Are you prepared to have someone die in front of you unable to do anything about it? 2.) If you pulled someone over for DUI and it was your own chief, would you arrest him? And what if he had just gone through a terrible divorce with his wife and he would lose his job because of his arrest? He also noted a few observations I made that assisted him, such as picking out license plates with expired tags that he could pull over, spotting a broken tail light, and spotting suspicious movements (a male shoving something inside a female drivers purse and a heavy odor of perfume) inside a car we had pulled over. He showed me his service pistol and his taser when I softly inquired about them. "So what kind of side arms do you carry?" "What is it like being tased?" He even showed me the tactical rifle mounted above our heads without even asking, but I asked "Why use these instead of shotguns?" He liked my questions. He saw and learned that I had true interest and motivation for looking into a law enforcement career, I was well spoken, I was mature (I was 22 at the time) for my age and he commented that normally he'd never recommend that his department hire anyone under the age of 27, but I would be an exception. My advice: Ask well though out questions, but don't make it all business, and don't leave them closed ended. Meaning use fewer yes and no questions. Make them open ended so he has to explain things, talk about himself, talk about his job and his take on the laws. Be respectful and let him do his job, but don't sit in the car like a stack of paperwork. Be there for a reason. I'll be going for some more myself towards the end of the year with another department, once I'm finished with the citizens police academy I'm in now. Good luck.

It would likely run on high, yeah. ENBs would likely slow it down a bit though.

In the alternative future the game is set in, the Koreans make it all the way to Colorado, but can't push inland any further because the country is too big. One of the major reasons Germany wasn't able to defeat Russia in WWII. Even with 3 million men it's a lot of ground to cover against what would eventually be an even bigger army. Back on topic, in Homefront, they stopped at Colorado and took our oil reserves. An EMP bomb would render any of our advanced technology useless and the development of new technology would be extremely difficult. So all we'd be able to do is fight with basic infantry weapons and RPG's and maybe some vehicles. No air support. We'd have to have a few allied nations cross the Atlantic help us push the Koreans out, or if we could somehow persuade Russia or Japan to invade the western coast, while having Canada invade from the north to trap the Koreans in a pocket and eventually crush them from three sides. They'd have no choice but to either surrender or try to retreat to Mexico with no extraction method ready, provided that country remained neutral. If Mexico took our side, the Korean forces would be obliterated.

No, and this game is a good reality check for America, along with other western nations as this scenario is actually plausible which makes the game interesting.

No, and I won't be the only testing or development team member who'll tell people it's not ready yet, but it's coming along.

I don't have problems with any of them. And the Tahoe and Suburban have barely changed at all in looks from current models.

I don't like these. They look smaller, probably won't be as heavy which is bad for attempting to push or spin out other cars, fuel economy isn't much to write home about (as discussed above) and although its turbocharged, it's only a 6 cylinder. I'd rather have higher horse power and more cylinders all the time than a turbocharger. Every half a second counts during acceleration to catch up to a motorcycle or a sports car with a dangerous driver.

Low. That graphics card is garbage.

She's not a little old lady grandmother either, by the way. She's only 45. Her daughter probably had a kid at a young age. It's a very small town, located in the middle of a bunch of woods and farmland, like many towns in New Hampshire. This also means that often the kids (and also some adults) get into trouble there frequently because there's nothing to do, so people turn to drugs, alcohol and petty theft. I lived in New Hampshire for 19 years. I was in a different county, but I'm very familiar with that state and its citizens. And gamerdanger99, do the police the same service by not posting anything without facts.

Says who? An except from the NH Union Leader paper: "On Monday night, residents said Manchester police told them that state police had been pursuing the car from Bow. The driver had exited Interstate 93 at 9S, weaved through neighborhoods and rammed a state police cruiser that pulled in front of her, according to accounts neighbors relayed from police." Whether that's true or not, I don't know. Striking a cop car is considered assault on a police officer and can be met with deadly force. If she endangered a motorist or a pedestrian to the point where it was life threatening, that's also a justified reason to take someone out. I'm surprised you're so against the police when you're registered on a forum like this. It's almost as if you signed up here to troll...

That graphics card is pretty weak and 4GB of RAM is barely sufficient. That's probably your issue.

What was the last shooter you played, Doom? Most modern games don't work like that. Even in the late 1990's games had modes like Capture The Flag. Battlefield being a military game is based around taking and holding objectives, using air, water and land power to clear out areas and once again has a commander mode which allows you to show strategies and crucial objectives in real time to up to the other 64 players in your server. The modes you usually play are Conquest, Rush, Assault, Domination, Capture The Flag, and then lastly Team Deathmatch and Deathmatch. *EDIT* I recorded about 30 minutes of myself playing my 4th game of the Beta. I went 30 - 13, 2.48KDR.

Every action has an equal but opposite reaction, so I'm expecting a retort which would start a flamewar, but maybe I'll be proven wrong. If that's the case, then I'd be happy to see the show go on. I created this topic myself to share the news and discuss the ramifications. But I don't want this getting personal. And it's bordering pretty damned close. I'm sure you'll keep an eye out.

At the risk of attracting unwanted attention, that's a very douche bag type of thing to say. That's our country's capital, and it's where the president lives. We live under constant threat of terrorist attacks, and I'm sure if I was there as a police officer, I'd be damned if I'd let another attack on civilians or god forbid our president happen. That threat needed to end immediately, and if you bother to watch the video, the police had very good restraint. Take your preconceived notions of my country, and get the hell out of this thread. And stay out. If you want to be a bigot, then go do it some place else. One of the moderators better lock this thread before this gets any further out of hand.

Then order an ASUS or something online.

Why are you buying such an expensive laptop then? A Core i7 gaming PC with a higher end graphics card shouldn't cost you more than $1000. Just stop trying to buy them from companies like Alienware. Go visit a Future Shop or whatever chains you have up there in Canada and buy one from a store.

Never heard of you. You shouldn't worry about what other people think about you or get involved in any video game politics. Even if you're 12, you're too old for that ****.

Yup. Ever seen the movie 'The Recruit' before? It's about a CIA agent, but one of the instructors at the academy (played by Al Pacino) said a line about all government employees I'll never forget: "Our failures are known, our successes are not." Kids and adults alike don't like authority. They don't like being told what to do. I started in a citizens police academy just two weeks ago, and the officers I've met so far are 24 karat gold. They seem fair, and they do have a sense of what laws are fair and effective, and ones that don't benefit anyone. Cops are people. Some are bad people, some are good people. And the effectiveness "customer service" can be likened to that of a restaurant. If the people they interact with have a bad experience, they'll remember that longer and tell more people than if they have a good one. That's just the way it is.

How stuff works for "essential" employees: They aren't getting paid right now. Supposedly they will get paid once the government shut-down ends. But that could be weeks from now. And landlords don't wait. They want their money now. Not whenever those fat, old, cheap suit wearing house & congress motherf******s decide to go back to work. No motive behind the lady's actions yet, although supposedly the FBI was investigating her in her home state of Connecticut. Also she had a 1 year old child in the car when she started the pursuit and when she was shot to death. The child is unharmed according to Secret Service Police. One officer totaled his cruiser (a new looking CVPI) on either a gate or a billboard and had to be extracted with the jaws of life.

I'm not so sure you do. If it's truly classified then nobody would know. Anyway as far as police carrying MP5's: Generally no, never. SWAT yes, patrolmen no. Modern departments with decent government funding use a single shot variant of the M4A1 Carbine or a 12 gauge shotgun like a Remington or Benelli in almost all cases.
