Yeah, Breakthrough and Frontlines would require care, but Conquest could probably be plonked down in here in a number of places without too much trouble.

I wonder if they could carve the map up into chunks to create new maps for other game-modes? There’s probably loads of scope there, and most of the work will already be done.

Yeah, it's a bit dull. Maybe it's better in squad mode, but single-player it's 20 minutes of seeing hardly anyone. I just finished in third place my last game with no kills whatsoever - I broke someone's armour a couple of times with my sniper-rifle and then stole his truck while he hid in a house. I then spent the rest of the game just slowly driving towards the centre. The loot system is crap. I've not played any other BR games, but do they normally have downed enemies loot spewed all over the floor so you have to rummage through it like a jumble sale? Most times it led to me inadvertently swapping a decent gun for something I didn't want, which is not good if you're getting shot at. Also, the Staghoud I got from a bunker wouldn't let me fire the main gun. I had to switch seats to shoot anything. Have they changed vehicle controls from the main game or something.

This starts on SyFy in the UK next week, although I think it's already aired in full in the US.

When they think they're hidden, but they're not.

FILM - Out into the world by fishyfish_arcade, on Flickr

Some shots from a trip to Manchester a few weeks back (visited the MArtin Parr exhibition, which was very worthwhile). All taken with my Olympus 35 RC with JCH Street Pan film (and a few on Fomapan 400). The JCH film resulted in very contrasty images and the negs from the indoor shots are extremely thin, but the ones taken in bright sunshine are very nice.

“Inexperienced teachers would often opt for a one handed stroke with little back lift and a short follow through, but swing analysis from my squash coach reveals this to be both ineffective and inaccurate.”

Oh my lord! The new Mosquito equipped with the level 2 6 Pounder cannon is insane! This video is just kills from a single round (that was down to the last two flags when I joined). It destroys tanks quicker than other tanks do! Note my ass being saved by some dodgy physics in one clip, and the jubilant moment when I rank the plane to level 4 meaning I can now equip the FOUR THOUSAND POUND BOMB!!!! I was humming this all the way through:

Rush is complete dogshit thanks to BF V's barely functioning team balancing. Every game seems to be a) attackers can't even arm the first set of MCOMs, or b) attackers steamroll through the whole map with barely any resistance. Also, I'm completely pissed off by the lack of understanding of smoke in the game by a seemingly significant number of players. I place a series of smoke grenades down on the target and also providing cover to advance, and the entire team just sit back in their hidey-holes until the smoke dissipates.

I initially thought it was going to be a UK version of The Amazing Race. The winner of The Amazing Race gets ONE MILLION DOLLARS though, wheras the Beeb only give £20k. TAR contestants can use air travel, but also have to participate in challenges to progress. The Amazing Race also had an episode where one contestant nearly took her own head off with a watermelon...

Someone picked the wrong place to stall their BF-109...

It's the Sturmgeschütz IV (Stug IV for short). It was the Tides of War unlock two weeks ago, but you can buy it now for 2500cc if you didn't unlock it at the time. It's a tank destroyer so doesn't have a rotating turret, but it's pretty decent. I prefer the British Valentine Archer though.
