I didn't really, I just wanted an end to the story as I enjoyed CoD4:MW and MW2 to a lesser extent, I'm just disappointed at how trite the game is and how many clich?s they can throw in a second. There is no down time its just push push push to the next kill-box with re-spawning enemies.

For the cost of the game and the amount of brain-dead morons who buy it because its Call of Duty I would have expected a half decent single player experience.

Then since you bought this game, you are therefore including yourself as a brain dead moron.

I think the point he was making is that the brain dead morons buy it just because it is called call of duty, whereas he bought it because of the single player campaign

and obviously did not enjoy it.

I just can't give myself reason to buy this game yet as there are just so many other games i'd rather spend my time in! (Skyrim :rofl: )

I do not see all of this Hate in the BF3 game topic? Why would anyone Hate a game. There is way to much hate in this world as it is. There are things in every game that I think could have been done better including this one, but I do not Hate it . COD is the most successful game series of all time. It did not get that success by producing moronic type games.

All the hate for this game is getting old. Wonder how many people have actually played it and genuinely don't like it and how many are jumping on the bandwagon. Sure, it's pretty much just more of the same, but it's not bad by any means.

Finished the campaign in just under 5 hours (on normal, going to redo it soon on veteran), which is damn short, but it was an entertaining 5 hours. It was a good ending to the trilogy, and the story held up pretty well. It's no Half-Life or BioShock, but for what it is, it worked.

Enjoying the multiplayer too, though I do wish there was proper dedicated servers. I'm playing on PC too, FWIW.

Livestreaming the game right now. For those who have the Xbox 360 and want to play, add me - UND3RxOATH.

Come talk to me, I'm a little bored right now. :)

You're such a fkin camper!

Correct, is actually more realistic to not be running around like a moron.

Honestly I think it is people hating people that do not agree with them. The game is just a proxy.

Maybe but what I just saw in the BF3 topic was a whole lot of whining about whether there should be an SP or not.

And in this thread it is a whole lot of whining about the game being BlackOps 1.5. People hate when someone else says something that indicates that they are either wrong or made a bad decision, so much they will defend something to the death, right or wrong.

No MW3 is nothing even close to Black OPs, it is similar to COD4

I finished the game last night on Regular and I am planning on going back and doing it on Veteran and getting all of the intel and other achievement for various tasks in Single Player.??All in all I enjoyed the single player even though the story was not very original. I only experience one issue with the game and it actually made it funny, everytime I would shoot someone and blow them away with a grenade the body would freeze in mid air.??I have attached a picture below.

I love the multiplayer and Spec Ops and I am not disappointed with my purchase.377948_128307220612049_100002983149000_143271_243103667_n.jpg

Really disappointed with the MP so far. Haven't played SP yet. I'm guessing all of their great map designers left. Every map plays like a small maze. Close quarters with objects or obstacle plopped in random places. Random players hiding in corners with their heartbeat sensors.

And why does it take forever to look down your sight? I feel like I'll need to use that perk.

Played MP TDM for a few hours. My late impressions:

- Many map sizes are really small with tight corridors and in these situations it's often a test of who has the better connection and sees the other person first... high damage means little time to jump into cover or dodge bullets.

- A lot of unnecessary obstacles that my guy gets clipped to or I bump into as I strafe. That should fix itself in time as I get acclimated.

- SMG often feels weaker than Assault even in close range (SMG shoots faster so I should be able to get most of them in cqc)... perhaps some lag?

- Guns do a lot more damage... I feel CoD4 is the best as far as damage goes. Black Ops took a bit more skill... MW3 often feels like spray and pray half the time when turning a corner with how quick you can die.

It's fun but this game is difficult to play as a run and gunner, with powerful assault rifles with low kick marking down choke points. I also notice it's harder to get two consecutive kills in the same room with my SMG; I used to be able to jump into a room, pop one guy off, prone and kill another, but it is increasingly difficult to do as it takes less shots for your enemies to kill you and maybe I've been getting unlucky here also, but the other guy would often get alerted and start spraying at my position and I die. Either that or some guy shoots you from behind. You can never really feel safe in this game.

Not sure why so many people are saying no one plays this series for the SP, as I know for certain I personally do. In fact I may even not touch the MP at all. I am currently only renting the game so really just may play the campaign, check out some Spec Ops maybe, and then send it back and move on to one of the countless other SP experiences out there I want to play (probably Assassins Creed, just really like that series overall).

With that said, so far I am going through the SP campaign and have to say it is without a doubt the same as it has been the past few releases, again as I do not expect anything else, and it really is just good old fashioned fun. Sure the graphics engine is starting to look a little dated, but it is nowhere near the point of distraction or anything along those lines. And I have a place in my heart for any developer who insists on 60 frames per second. They know what they are doing IMO. Just from playing the first 45-60 minutes, it still really is just the best over the top FPS action to be had. They really do make it feel like you are in a Michael Bay movie. Which just like those types of movies, they have their place. Not necessarily my preferred cup of tea if I had to define my favorite type of enetertainment, but I do enjoy it every now and then. A little mindless entertainment never hurt anyone.

My bottom line is I know exactly what I am getting with a COD campaign. So since I keep this in mind, for just wanting to shoot some stuff and have a total over the top experience while doing so, I still think the series really has not been matched.

My one and only major critique would be the constant plow forward, and how if one does not advance they will just get endless waves of enemies, but that is what it is at this point. The series has pretty much always done this, so just have to keep it in mind as you are playing the campaign.

I have only played Kill Confirmed and Spec Ops online and I love them, as for the people saying that they cant jump and lay down to avoid fire that's the way it should be.??It's annoying as hell playing with people that jump around like damn bunnies and constantly diving to avoid getting shot, totally unrealistic IMO.??I have never seen troops jumping like bunnies in Iraq and I am pretty sure you never will.??I like the bump in damage as it no longer takes a whole damn 30 bullet clip to kill someone.

As for the maps, I think the choke points are great and it adds more excitement to the game and not all of the maps have these choke points.??I hate the whole run and gun that was more frequent in previous games, this one seems to be balanced perfectly. I agree with you Larry on the SP aspect making it feel like a Michael Bay movie lol

I have not played MP yet and I probably won't until I finish all of the SP levels.

Enjoy. I talk about the weather, mother of all bombs (M.O.A.B.), how to obtain it, and my recommendations of guns. Also, I discuss briefly about camping and non camping since I've been hearing somethings about my play-style.

I will probably do a video every day, depending on my schedule.

Great video! I had no idea there was a 25-point streak reward. It would've been nice if it ended the game but that would have angered a lot of players. What setup did you use to get the M.O.A.B.?

    • @Sayan...I have defended you at various points as I hope you know. This headline however is utter trash...shame on you sir!
    • An actual cosmic "Eye of Sauron" had been looking straight at us all along by Sayan Sen Image by Kovin P. Vasquez via Pexels | Not representative An international team of researchers has solved a long-standing mystery surrounding a distant blazar known as PKS 1424+240, helping explain why it produces some of the brightest high-energy gamma rays and cosmic neutrinos ever observed despite appearing to have a relatively slow-moving jet. The findings were published on June 6 in Astronomy & Astrophysics Letters. The study addresses a broader challenge in astrophysics: understanding how extreme cosmic objects accelerate particles to very high energies and produce very high-energy (VHE) photons and neutrinos. PKS 1424+240 is located billions of light-years from Earth. It has attracted attention for years because it is both a powerful source of VHE gamma rays and the brightest known neutrino-emitting blazar in the sky, according to observations by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. It is also associated with one of the strongest peaks in IceCube's nine-year neutrino sky map A blazar is a type of active galactic nucleus powered by a supermassive black hole that pulls in surrounding matter and launches jets of plasma moving close to the speed of light. What makes blazars unique is their orientation. One of their jets points almost directly toward Earth, making them appear exceptionally bright across the electromagnetic spectrum and allowing scientists to study some of the most extreme physical processes in the Universe. The scientists exclaimed it's like the 'Eye of Sauron' in deep space. Usually, the brightest gamma-ray-emitting blazars are expected to have jets that appear to move very quickly. However, radio observations of PKS 1424+240 suggested that its jet was moving much more slowly, creating a contradiction that became part of a long-running problem known as the "Doppler factor crisis." To investigate, researchers analyzed 15 years of observations from the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), a network of 10 radio antennas spread across the continental United States, Hawaii and St. Croix. Using a technique called Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI), astronomers combine signals from widely separated radio telescopes to create a virtual Earth-sized telescope capable of revealing extremely fine details. The team combined 42 polarization-sensitive radio images collected between 2009 and 2025, creating a much deeper and more detailed view of the jet than had previously been possible. The observations were carried out as part of MOJAVE (Monitoring Of Jets in Active galactic nuclei with VLBA Experiments), a long-running program that studies the brightness, polarization and magnetic field structures of jets produced by active galaxies. The project aims to better understand how activity near supermassive black holes is linked to high-energy radiation and neutrino emission. “When we reconstructed the image, it looked absolutely stunning,” said Yuri Kovalev, lead author of the study and Principal Investigator of the European Research Council-funded MuSES project at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy. “We have never seen anything quite like it — a near-perfect toroidal magnetic field with a jet, pointing straight at us.” The image revealed an unusual geometry. The researchers found that Earth lies almost directly in line with the jet, with a viewing angle of less than 0.6 degrees. In simple terms, astronomers are looking almost straight down the jet. This turned out to be the key to the mystery. Because the jet is aimed almost directly at Earth, a relativistic effect called Doppler boosting dramatically increases its apparent brightness. The study found that this effect boosts the emission by a factor of about 30 while also making the jet appear slower than it actually is. “This alignment causes a boost in brightness by a factor of 30 or more,” said Jack Livingston, a co-author at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy. “At the same time, the jet appears to move slowly due to projection effects — a classic optical illusion.” The nearly head-on view also gave scientists a rare look at the jet's magnetic field. Using polarized radio signals, they detected a clear toroidal, or doughnut-shaped, magnetic field component. The observations suggest the jet carries an electric current and that its magnetic field helps launch, shape and stabilize the flow of plasma. Researchers believe this magnetic structure may also play a key role in accelerating particles to energies high enough to produce both gamma rays and neutrinos. “Solving this puzzle confirms that active galactic nuclei with supermassive black holes are not only powerful accelerators of electrons, but also of protons — the origin of the observed high-energy neutrinos,” Kovalev said. The research was conducted under the MuSES (Multi-messenger Studies of Energetic Sources) project, which investigates how active galactic nuclei accelerate particles and generate different cosmic signals, including light and neutrinos. Scientists say understanding how protons are accelerated and linked to neutrino production remains one of the major unanswered questions in astrophysics. The findings help explain why some blazars can appear to have slow jets while still producing extremely bright high-energy emissions. More broadly, the study strengthens the link between relativistic jets, magnetic fields, gamma rays and high-energy neutrinos. Researchers say the results provide new clues about how some of the Universe's most powerful natural particle accelerators work and offer important insights for multimessenger astronomy, which combines different types of cosmic signals to study extreme events in space.

    • Microsoft Weekly: Surface Laptop Ultra, Windows 11 context menus, Build 2026 recap, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing the new Surface Laptop Ultra, fresh chips from NVIDIA for Windows on ARM, a no-build week, fixes for Windows 11's context menus, gaming news, reviews, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. At Computex 2026, together with NVIDIA, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its most powerful laptop to date, powered by NVIDIA's RTX Spark processor. Details about this computer are currently scarce, as Microsoft has only revealed certain parts of its specs. So far, we know that the computer has a 15-inch mini-LED display, a rich set of ports, a powerful processor, and all-day battery life. It also comes with a new wallpaper, which you can already download here in full resolution. The Surface Laptop Studio is not the only NVIDIA-powered Surface, which Microsoft unveiled this week. At Build 2026, the company also debuted the Surface RTX Spark Dev Box, an odd-shaped desktop with a 20-core NVIDIA Grace CPU and an NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores and fifth-generation Tensor Cores with FP4 precision, connected via the NVIDIA NVLink-C2C chip-to-chip interconnect for high performance. According to Microsoft, it can run models with up to 120 billion parameters locally without relying on cloud GPU infrastructure. These two new Surface devices are likely to cost quite a lot, and for those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is preparing the next-gen Qualcomm-powered Surface Pro and Surface Laptop. This week, details about these two devices leaked in plenty of detail. Other announcements at Build 2026 include the following: Microsoft unveils new security tools for IT admins and developers building AI products Microsoft announces Scout, an OpenClaw-powered personal agent for enterprise customers Microsoft unveils MAI-Thinking-1 reasoning and MAI-Code-1 coding models Microsoft announced a new Windows 11 native command-line utility Microsoft unveils Majorana 2 quantum chip, accelerating commercial timeline to 2029 Microsoft believes that AI agents will eventually replace apps through Project Solara Microsoft introduces Web IQ, a Bing-powered search system built for AI agents Last week, Microsoft released a new Experimental build, which introduced a major Start menu upgrade. It now lets you toggle off specific parts of the menu without affecting other features, resize the menu, and hide additional UI elements. We published a closer look here, so if you want to know what Microsoft is cooking without enrolling in the Insider program and installing unstable builds, check it out. Speaking of new features, many users are very annoyed about the way Microsoft delivers them. Recently, a frustrated user shared their experience with gradual rollouts, and even Microsoft engineers admitted there is a flaw in the system that prevents new features from applying properly. One of those new features includes the ability to uninstall AI models in Windows 11 with a single click. Windows 11 is finally getting fixes for its slow context menus. Marcus Ash from Microsoft confirmed that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are going to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." According to Marcus, Microsoft will share more details soon. Windows Insider Program Windows 11 preview builds, released last week, are now available for download as standalone ISO files. These days, Microsoft regularly pushes new images, allowing users to clean-install its recent Windows 11 preview builds faster and easier. If you want to try the latest Windows 11 features without jumping through the Windows Update hoops, get those new images here. Sadly, Microsoft did not release new Windows 11 preview builds this week. Come back next time. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. Microsoft is preparing new features for Teams. Later this month, the messenger will receive a new download manager with auto-dismissing notifications, reducing clutter and making the overall experience less annoying when dealing with downloads. Mozilla released Firefox 151.0.3, a new bug-fixing update for the browser. It is a small release, which fixes problems with pasting into text fields and the oversized VPN button on the toolbar. The update is now available for all users in the Release channel. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: VS Code 1.123 introduces massive upgrades for persistent AI developer workflows Microsoft OneDrive is getting a simple yet much-needed feature Microsoft faces heat after quietly blocking promised Office features on Apple systems Microsoft resumes forced Copilot app installation on some Windows PCs Browser vendors pen an open letter to Microsoft, saying "enough is enough" Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: AMD Radeon Software 26.6.1 with optimizations for F1 25: 2026 Season, World of Tanks: HEAT, and various bug fixes. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Steven Parker dropped more mini PC reviews this week. GEEKOM Air12 2026 Edition is a low-power, affordable computer with an Intel Tiger Lake Pentium Gold processor, up to 16GB of memory, and 512GB of storage, costing just $349. It is light, quiet, energy efficient, and has modern ports on the front. However, the front-facing USB Type-C is data-only, and there are some quirks with the computer's memory, so check out the full review. The AMD RX 9070 GRE has been released worldwide, and we published a benchmark review comparing this powerful graphics card to the RX 9070 XT, 7800 XT, the NVIDIA RTX 5070, and RTX 4070. It has solid, balanced performance, plenty of RAM, and low temperatures, but watch out for mediocre ray tracing performance and not the best efficiency. Also, we reviewed the Cuktech 10 Ultra, a compact, high-power charger with four ports and a big display full of various stats. This tiny charger can pull nearly 120W and spread that power according to each connected device's needs. It also comes with a high-quality 240W cable, three power modes, and retractable prongs. The best part? It is quite affordable, just make sure you have an outlet placed in the right spot to benefit from the built-in display. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. Do you remember the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally, Microsoft's first handheld console designed in partnership with ASUS? This week, ASUS revealed a new version of the device to celebrate twenty years of its Republic of Gamers brand. The new ROG Xbox Ally X20 features an OLED display, a transforming D-Pad, TMR sticks, and other changes. However, the chip inside the console is still the same. Forza Horizon 6 launched last month to critical acclaim, but the game will soon have a new rival made by those who used to work on Forza Horizon titles. Mike Brown from Maverick Games announced Clutch, an upcoming racing game with a story-driven campaign, deep car customization, and rich multiplayer. The game is coming to PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027. The next update for Minecraft now has a release date. This week, Mojang announced that Chaos Cubed will be available on June 16, 2026. In addition, Mojang published a teaser of the next Minecraft movie.
