Yes, that's EU time and server.

I can see we've strayed just over the first player limit of 6 people in a party, we would either need to play in a private match with no points or try to fill up another 4-5 slots.

So for the Americans who are concerned about lag or those who does not want to play Hardcore mode - Add Mystic instead, then we can perhaps balance it out to 6 players. I really don't think we will be able to get 12 players for an all-neowin match, so gotta go with the second best.

It's a lot more fun to play when you know every kill counts and the points are being added up - So just trying to balance it out.

Just hope we won't have 7-8 players, so we have to play Private Matches :laugh:

That's my worry :(! If I remember correctly, I know COD4 netcode was alright but matches between US and Europe were pretty iffy at times? Ping bars would be around Red/Yellow!

Whatever, I am sure it'll be fun whatever happens :laugh:

Most likely will be original maps anyway since not everyone has the DLC. Game won't let you search anyway if you search for games with DLC when someone doesn't have it.

Not sure how it works on Private Servers though, probably won't even let me choose the new maps when someone doesn't have em'

You get a huge red warning when someone doesn't have the maps, so we'll definitely see it Munky :laugh:

The new maps are nothing to shout about, so they won't be missed.

5 PM. Tonight. I am down. (wife works late again LOL)

I do prefer Headquarters though, but I can play any mode so I really do not care, all I suggest is we keep mixing it up to keep everyone happy.

Well, not much for mixing regular and hardcore since it's so hard to going from killing with one shot and having to empty an entire clip, but just to keep the peace we can work something out.

Then I'm sure we can fill up the server with 12 people so we can still get points, then we can go through different game-modes so everyone will be happy - Then we all have to cope with game-modes we don't like.

But we'll do regular for the first hour or so and hardcore the next, not too much mixing since it'll just mess up each players game when you need to constantly adjust.

Good news is, the boss of the house isn't home - So I'll be able to play most of the night as well.

For anyone interested, I might do a few warm-up rounds before we start, might start at 9:30 - So if anyone wish to join me there as well, let me know.

Cool. Every hour or so is what I meant by mixing it up, I am not for a different mode each round either. That is just crazy.

Honestly it does not matter as I have not played it since before GTA came out, so I am either going to suck or really suck, so no worries from me.

Also, I may very well be playing closer to 6PM EST than 5PM, got a lot of work to do today for a very aggressive deadline.

We will see though, I plan on busting my ass and not coming on here anymore for the distraction until later on.

    • SpaceX reportedly plans a Starlink mobile service for U.S. consumers

      But we are talking about Elon Musk, no AT&T... I know big companies are evil, but Elon and his companies are in another level which is much more dangerous.
    • New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues by Taras Buria Another bug-fixing update is available for PowerToys version 0.100. After releasing version 0.100.1 with a bunch of bug fixes and patches, Microsoft pushed version 0.100.2 to address two important issues with one of Command Palette Dock's features. With PowerToys 0.100.2, Microsoft fixed the performance meter displaying incorrect values and memory leaks, which are particularly unwanted things in the current situation with overpriced PC hardware. Here is the changelog: Reverted a Performance Monitor dock refresh change that forced item refreshes on every metric update Fixed a memory leak in the Performance Monitor dock extension by reusing stable network upload/download band items instead of creating new list items on each refresh For those unfamiliar, Command Palette Dock is a relatively new addition to PowerToys. It is a taskbar-like tool that you can keep on top of the screen to pin various useful widgets, commands, and more. It can display time, weather, your PC's performance metrics, and more. Microsoft introduced the Command Palette Dock in March 2026 in PowerToys 0.98. Microsoft has dedicated documentation for Command Palette Dock, and you can check it out on the official Microsoft Learn website. You can update PowerToys to the latest version by going to Settings > General and clicking "Check for updates." Alternatively, you can download the installer from GitHub using this link. In other news, Microsoft is working on a new window-management utility for PowerToys. Called Alt Window Cycle, it will let you use the Alt + ` shortcut to switch between different windows in a single app. You can learn more about the tool here.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      You did take leaf out of Trumps book already and had brexit - only to harm yourself. The same goes with this AI nonsense. The obvious solution for these companies is to move their head office to Brussels. I can see quite much irony there... 🙂

    • Windows 10 quietly gets one more year of support and updates

      Wonder if they are trying to slow down Linux traction (not saying this is the only factor) in the consumer space. With the most pressure probably being steam deck/box, etc.
