Call of Duty 4, Neowin Style!


Recommended Posts

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.

    • I and many others did not vote to get out of the E.u because of Putin or Farage, we did so for our own reasons. You don't have to tel me what my own did or did not do when it comes to the E.U. The EEC is or was the European Economic Community, a different beast to what the E.U is now.The EEC was a mainly about trading, the E.U have gone far beyond that and as I have said before, is now more of a United States of Europe. The U.K did not vote to join a United States of Europe. Anyway, they did not want us in there in the first place, Charles de Gaulle stopped us joining as he claimed we didn’t agree with the core ideas of integration. He was not wrong and that is why we voted out of the E.U when the time came. I was not old enough to vote the first time. My only regret is that we did not have the referendum years ago and got out years ago. If we rejoined, we would have to agree to join the Euro and no doubt Schengen, agree with freedom of movement, we have enough problem with people coming over here as it is. i have no problem with people coming over here if they work and don't try to push their way of life onto us. The E.U has a currency, freedom of movement, an anthem a flag, a parliament, well they are there, not sure if they do anything. Don't sound like something that is just for trading. Oh yeah, also wanted a euro Army. How many stupid rules have the E.U made that we had to follow? I doubt I will see the Uk rejoin the E.U, which suits me. Oh yeah, my partner is Polish, she came over here before Poland joined the E.U and she got fed up of people just coming over here with ease, while she had to struggle. She is now a British citizen and have been for a fair few years
    • Hello, Paul. Thanks for the editorial. It was interesting. I'm going research more into the app and its concept. Of course, if you know me at all, you know that I'd say your articles needs some editing! I a;ways do, don't I? For instance, the article occasionally mentions a concept before defining it, e.g., relays.
    • Screamer is 50% off on Steam, making it £24.99 here in the UK: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2814990/Screamer/ You might remember the series from the mid 90s / early 2000s, this new game is also by Milestone who created the older games.
    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.
