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.

    • Microsoft kills AI-powered history search feature in Edge

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft kills AI-powered history search feature in Edge by Usama Jawad In June 2025, Microsoft began rolling out AI-powered history search functionality with Edge 138. The idea was simple: allow customers to use natural language phrases and synonyms to find their desired history items rather than matching keywords exactly. Although the company had already rolled out this capability in a phased manner, it has now decided to cancel it. In an update on its Microsoft 365 Roadmap, Microsoft has announced that it has decided not to move forward with AI-powered history search. The company has not detailed the exact reasoning behind this move, but it has apologized to customers for the inconvenience. The move is rather interesting as it seemingly could have improved user productivity. Edge users wouldn't have to worry about typos or exact keywords, and just focus on what they were trying to locate in their browser history. Microsoft had also assured users that an on-device AI model would be leveraged for this functionality, and no data would be sent to the cloud. IT admins also had the ability to control its availability through the EdgeHistoryAISearchEnabled policy. When the feature began rolling out last year, many of our readers called it creepy, noting that they couldn't trust Microsoft to keep their data on their device. Others also questioned its usefulness, saying that it's simply a way for Microsoft to insert more AI bloat into its products. Although the Redmond tech giant had stated that it will be more mindful about surfacing Copilot features in Windows 11 apps, we later discussed how this is mostly a rebranding exercise rather than an actual axing of AI functionalities. Indeed, a Microsoft executive later emphasized how they want to reshape Windows for the agentic AI era. That said, it does seem like at least AI-powered Edge history search isn't a part of that vision.

      For you to jump on and defend your sweetheart? I agree, it didn't.

      Not likely, of course, that we will see routine citizenship checks as they only involve compliance with existing federal voting laws already on the books for decades. This seems a non-issue entirely. Only fools would have the government rush headlong into an AI program few can understand or predict, or even debug...
