I don't dislike Windows 10 either. Only use it on my tablet, though.

I personally always hated equalizers...how does it work with footsteps anyway? Doesn't it make judging sound position a bit more difficult?

Well, the regular equalizer just makes some frequencies pop up better. So if you know what frequencies are present in the sounds you want to hear (such as gun clicks, footsteps, doors and so on), you can increase their power. So you can hear those things more clearly among the rest of the noise. You can also use this to lessen the ambient noise on certain maps (e.g Sandstorm).
When all this is done correctly (and there used to be a different EQ setting for just about every map) it helped tremendously.
The reason it doesn't make it more difficult to pinpoint the direction of these noises is because the settings are constant so it is different to playing without them, but you get used to it.

So I suppose the loudness equalizer is sort of like SVM was on X-Fi - it makes it easier to hear sounds that are quite quiet - especially when there's little to no ambient sound - by amplifying them. This can make it a little more difficult to pinpoint the distance the enemy is at since the strength of the action does not diminish with distance the way you'd expect. Plus, it usually depends on whether or not there's other ambient sounds around. So if you're on WC (where there's next no overall ambient sound), depending on the place you're at (or more precisely the local ambient noises there) you will hear far away sounds differently.
This took some getting used to, but I believe I got the hang of it back when I used X-Fi (I still have the card, but no slot for it).

Yes of  course. I have only onboard card, but these settings make me to hear nearly everything. Especially loudness equalization.

Edit: loudness equalization is different setting than equalizator. And using equalizer with it makes it even better.

OK, what is different in the loudness equalizer?

Oh and btw, at least in win8.1 and 10 theres an option that can be als in 7, right click sound icon next to clock, playback settings, properties of your device, enhancements tab and tick loudness equalization. Maybe needs the exact driver for your sound card. That really changed my experience, with that and couple of other settings I hear everything.

It really still depends on the particular sound card you have. I've played AA on a bunch of different computers, most with on board sound. However, equalizer or not, there's a huge difference between on board sound and an X-Fi sound card. Not really in the quality of sound so much (not really an expert), but rather the "crispiness" or how clear you can hear individual "clicks" and other sounds made by players.

Since that's just a public post, I'm not going to accept that unfortunately.

And as I said, there's nothing we can do about the username. You can just add a period (.) in the end or something like that to make it look the same, though.

You can't swap sides on a full server?

You can't swap when there's no more slots on the map. For example, when the Hospital server has 32 players online, nobody can swap sides to as an extra person. However, if there's an equal amount of players on both teams and still slots left over, someone can swap to the other team and be their extra one to get over the limit.
At least that's how it used to be like, haven't tested in a while.

To retrieve it, you can try "Illusion." as the username (with the dot) and try all the passwords you can think of. If that fails, you can request a new password for the account and then check all your email accounts (including their spam folders) for the response.

You remembered the password for the old account just a few months ago so I would think it shouldn't be too much of a problem to remember it again.

As for getting the honor back, the DRAAT account has not been online since 2008 and you only changed to that name in September 2015 so if it is your account from way back then, I'd need more proof.

Has anyone looked up my roe Killaman. Have you looked and now your in here threatning me???? You listning to the liars like Mr green hes a liar comes in with acusations now your in threatning me for nothing Killaman. Look up the roe and print it or shut up.

I have looked at your account and you get 2-3 times the amount of ROE per hour compared to a regular player.
Plus the fact that score and kills (therefore ROE as well usually) are generally smaller on bridge than on other maps doesn't really shed any good light on you.
