cartoonish compared to Halo 4?!?! bwahahahahahahha.... gasp.... bwaaaahahahah... Halo 4 is the most cartoon like out of all modern shooters. You are clearly talking out of your ass.

I have got the game installed, but haven't found time to fire it up, but Halo 4' graphics do look impressive. Not cartoonish. At least to me, they are not

I've been playing FPS games on PC for about 14 years now. I have to admit, I've started moving over to console for my FPS fix due to cheaters.

It's so easy to cheat on PC, anyone can do it. Sure there are cheats and hacks on Consoles but there are very few and they don't last very long at all.

3 or 4 years ago I said I'd never play an FPS game on a console. Now I buy pretty much all my games on PS3.

The worst part about it is leaving my friends behind who still refuse to move from PC to Console.

I think hackers will be the death of PC gaming, not piracy.

I have yet to see any hackers on the pc version. Heck, I play a lot of pc fps games and never run into hackers, they aren't nearly as common as you are making them out to be.

you'd think that with the millions upon millions that treyarch is raking in, that they could afford some dedicated servers for consoles. it's extremely irritating when the host decides to turn off his system because his K/D ratio was less than perfect, and ruins the game for the others.

i'm enjoying the game otherwise but the hosting issue has always plagued these games.

You have to understand, everyone says hackers are rampant because they don't want to admit they suck and thats why they keep dying lol.

just finished singleplayer and it was excellent..

The characters, the story are so well crafted. Still not amazing amazing but this is probably one of the better ones I played in action games. You can definitely see the touch of David S Goyer. I like a lot where they are going with this.

My ending wasn't so happy. It was very dark.

livin in a box - was about to say the same thing, a year or two ago this thread would have been fifty pages by now. just look at the BF3 thread. this has nothing to do with BLOPS2, though, it's all us as the neowin community :(

and I totally agree with Viper - finally went back to full on FPS MP on PC, and it's great to be back. Where are all these rabid cheaters and hackers? I ran into maybe a couple in a few days of BLOPS2, and even those are big maybe's. this game looks great on PC, super detailed and crisp. if it's an engine from 2006, it sure don't look like it. besides, MOH Warfighter has Frostbite 2, and how many people play that online?

I can't express how much I enjoy the MP here, it's so rich and detailed and the maps are excellent. proper spawning, large arenas, good balance between crazy action and tactics. I love it. this is the best COD since MW for sure, maybe the best ever, time will tell. definitely getting the season pass for it!

So I had no idea the game supported 3D on the 360 until I saw this LG commercial touting the fact the other night.

I decided to check it out, and it is easily the best 3D of gaming this generation of consoles.

I had to play with some of the depth settings on my TV itself to get rid of some ghosting, but once I did, the 3D in SP was pretty damn amazing actually. As I said, easily the best game of this generation, and that all boils down to the fact they insist on keeping 60 FPS without 3D.

My brother had told me when he played in 3D its really only the UI and (IIRC) the gun? So is it well done or just "the best" because all other games' attempts (Crysis 2) suck at it this generation (yes I understand because of the technical limitations). Just curious :)

Was trying to decide whether to get this today or Halo 4 and I got Halo 4. Liking it so far but definitely wanted to get this too, just spent all the money on other things. :) Guess I can get it during the Christmas time where it will be cheaper too.

Based on what I saw though plus stuff from friends it's looking sweet as well. I don't think Halo is bad per say, just different group of people enjoy either choice and I happen to like both, more fun for me then.

I might end up getting it this weekend though as I am still drooling over this game too, still wanna finish the last one on veteran now!

You've gotta be kidding surely? You'd be surprised just how many people are actually cheating on your chosen server but just hiding it well. These are the people who cheat is leagues and get away with it for years.

Slane, sorry dude, playing it on PC!

Larry, I thought you said FPS on PC only like three years ago hahaha, what happened?

Shotta - this can wait, get it when you can afford it, it's still going to be the same awesome game!

And Muhammad, only one strike force mission is mandatory. I failed it miserably, as you say they're really hard. I think it changes the ending, as the SP this time has MULTIPLE ENDINGS in a COD title!

This game does not really count. :rofl:

Truth is, I have become a lot more flexible about things, and I do like the comfort of my couch, so I do not HAVE to play them on PC, just prefer them when possible. But the main inspiration for getting it on the 360 is all of my friends own it on that. That really is the main reason.

Anybody playing this online for 360?

Starting to suck playing by myself all the time. Hard to win. :(

Get involved with a clan. I do, one that doesn't take it too serious and is all about having a laugh. Hackers/boosters are kicked out immediately. Just go to the Elite app. Many clans advertise they want players. Just a thought

Got it Larry, i can see the logic. Guess Steam big picture mode is for folks like you! for me it's the opposite, i'm really enjoying it on PC and have gotten most of the season's big titles on PC.

Haven't tried zombies yet...is it any good? what's the story like? sounds very L4D-ish.

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      How many other companies will follow Ford's lead? Or, have they already gotten lazy and become enslaved to AI--and now can't figure out how to get out of that mess.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      Why would any self-respecting intelligent person follow any recommendation by Donald's GOP administration? With almost two years of fabrications, deceit, and blatantly illegal behavior, why believe them now? They had best be gone after the November 2026 election, so we'll wait and see.
    • AltSendme 0.4.1

      By Copernic · Posted

      AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      By zikalify · Posted

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
