I like it even though no one wants to play Amped Hardpoint or the other modes at times. There's always stuff going on in Attrition and the community is very respectful.

Cool because I remember the first one was dead online. It seems most PC players gave up on EA shooters online I don't know why. Battlefield 3 is was the last title that had crazy PC support.

They started making these shooters for consoles and the quality dropped

all this controller support from Valve really is a game changer. they've just made it so you can (theoretically) play any game on Steam with a 360, X1, DS4, generic xinput, or Steam Controller. all through Steam with no other 3rd party software. people have also got it working with the Wii U Pro Controller via xinput emulation

they've also made all these controllers a viable method for navigating the desktop on a 'HTPC'

Based Gaben does it again :salute:
I was having issues where I'd boot up a game and the controller wouldn't work like the D-Pad wasn't working. This was the PS4 controller.

idk, is the d-pad bound in the configurer? you might have to bind it manually

So I been looking at laptops at the 600-700 price tag and only that seems good is the Asus Zenbook. With an i5 chip 8GB ram and 256GB SSD that looks really good. Any thoughts on the brand?

That is fukked up. Return immediately. Mine says 3.6ghz (since windows doesn't account for an overclock) and HWmonitor shows my max at 4.2ghz (my overclock).

Something is very wrong with your CPU it should be at 3.6 out the box

I've been tinkering about in the BIOS and managed to up it to 3.25Ghz by disabling speedstep and virtualization. Going to keep at it as i would really rather not have to deal with an any RMAs right now.

You just got it though. Return it to the store. You payed like $600, right? No sense in keeping a defective chip. Get your money's worth. I highly recommend exchanging it.
