does anyone else think that this version of the game just does not have the allure of the second game?

does for me. black ops online sucked after a while. treyarch can never figure out how to do online like infinity ward can unless it's zombies.

You're forgetting that the infinity ward that made the games you like doesn't exist anymore. It's Infinity Ward only in name.

not really, a lot of the original guys are still there. whoever didn't stay got replaced with sledgehammer guys. we'll see what happens though.

Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing what the new group can do. Considering how awful MW2's multiplayer was and how mediocre the Treyarch installments are, I always thought that the franchise's multiplayer could benefit from a new set of eyes.

Nice. That new flag mode is looking pretty similar to Team Oddball from Halo (which I'm sure was taken from some other game long ago) which I was never a fan of, but I'll try anything once.

Truthfully, I'll probably end up spending the majority of my time in Team Deathmatch and Search & Destroy again :).

yeah it's definitely like odd ball. i like the claim your kill thing though, puts a twist on team deathmatch that'll make it more competitive.

That should be pretty good. Hopefully it encourages some more direct gunfights, as opposed to sniping and killstreak rampaging (not that there's anything necessarily wrong with those two things, but a change of pace is always nice). Though I can see that "kill confirmed!" voice getting annoying in a hurry :laugh: .

I really like the capture and run the flag thing.

And kill confirmed and denied will definetely put a sense of immersiveness in the matches.

One question though, if anyone knows the answer:

You kill a guy and didn't confirmed the kill, will it still be added as +1 in your stats or you must confirm the kill to register it?

looks good..

looks GOOOOOOD tongue.gif

conan style..

but then again

why arent the competing with BF3?? the graphics look so outdated.. Also the rest of it feels pretty much the same as MW2. I think the are just sticking to the winning formula

It's unfair to use these trailers to talk about the graphics since those trailers where on a console and not on a pc, since consoles are outdated atm compared to high end pc's they are forced to keep the same quality because those consoles just can't do any better then that(on bf3 they screwed the fps 50% lower, thats also not a good idea...)

So we should have to compare desktop versiosn when it's out on high end pc's before we can say anything about that.

*facepalm*

Dude.

That is, literally, the same engine the same HUD and even the same goddamn font as MW2

the kill confirm points go to your entire team, not just you. you still get the +1 for killing the guy, but you won't get the bonus points. whoever picks up the tags teams gets them and you may get a bonus for denying a kill confirm. they explained it on their live stream they did with IGN. the livestream was sweet, the game looks awesome.

imma go out on a limb and say BF3 is going to look better. though CoD main focus has always been getting the game optimized as possible to get it running at 60fps, they care about that more then graphics.

Better then BF3 with a waaaaaay too low fps...

Yes I agree that more than half of gamers out there cannot afford a setup to play every game on ULTRA but here's the thing.

Every now and then, a game should be released which pushes the PC specs to the limit. It was Crysis before then came Metro 2033 and now BF 3.

If we don't get these kind of demanding games then what is the point of upgrading your PC? What is the point of producing new GPUs and CPUs?

Today, we need more and more of these kind of games so that new hardware comes to the market at affordable prices and more and more people, who care about PC, buy it. This is the only way PC gaming will survive.

If you are just releasing a new game with the same old engine, then their isn't a point.

Played some SP. Not impressed at all. With the exception of a couple cool set-piece moments, it's really nothing to brag about.

It's constant Michael Bay music blaring and gun-fire everywhere. Just hurry-up hurry-up orders given to keep you from sitting around long enough to notice how bland the experience really is.

It really doesn't feel like a new game in the very least. A hefty X-pack at best.

Seems FPShooters have reached their limits as far as diversifying the SP experience goes.

They all really are starting to feel exactly the same.

to be fair though, there is a crap load of games out there, AAA ones that sell amazingly well, that use old engines. just because the engine is old doesn't mean it's bad. it's about what you can do with it. that's like saying an last gen amg or lambo engine is bad when mclaren and audi use them on new cars.

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
    • with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11
    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
