Call of Duty 4, Neowin Style!


Recommended Posts

Me too. Maybe a little longer. You going to be on later. or you going to crash soon?

Yeah I'll be back on later. I might actually just kick back for a bit just now and play some GTA then go on BF

So is battlefield a much better game? or is it because its different or newer?

In a way yeah. I think there is much more to do because you have specific classes and it requires more team work to win. In COD4 it's really just all about the kills. Whereas in BF you need certain classes for support to give you medikits etc.

Both are good games, they just have quite a few differences.

I liked playing Domination on COD4, it's pretty much the same as Conquest will be in BF :p

Battlefield would easily be my favourite game if the tweaked the weapon damage.

Yeah it will be much better when they patch it and add conquest mode. I don't mind switching between games though, breaks the pace up a little instead of playing the same game every night.

But have the developers said they were going to do anything in the damage department?

Really looking forward to conquest mode even though I'm not tired of the current game-mode - The game is so open, you don't really feel 'bound' to the game-mode.

Sorry, guys. Went to watch the dark knight. However will join in next time this happens.

I think we are playing again tomorrow, and a few people who missed out said they were gonna join. I know Gigapixels and Belgarath are two of them.

I really don't mind if we just play unranked matches if we can get a room full of Neowin members. Not fussed about ranking up so much in COD4.

Sadly I didnt get back till around 1:30am so played a bit of the BF:BC demo to get my rank up and get the freebie weapon. For some reason the demo feels a lot harder, maybe because there were a lot of random deaths? The ranking up is also a lot slower in the demo, from what I recall there its 2000 points between rank 3 and rank 4 (what is needed for the freebie gun) which is a lot for such an early rank.

Either way I should be around tomorrow afternoon, have stuff to do in the morning, so will be up for either COD or BF :)

Gnite all ...

wow completely missed this :(

Just got back about an hour ago from The Dark Knight and gutted that I missed this :cry:

Will be on tomorrow if nothing turns up :) Same time right?

hope you guys had fun :D

Sethos and any other neowin member do not hesitate to add me, GamerTag : MasterGreenEye

Yeah, I will play some private matches too, as I definitely prefer that everyone get to play and with 6 man squads that is not possible. And I could be wrong, but with some people reporting lag (I personally never had any luckily) I am thinking maybe Ground War was to large in player size to handle all of the different regions.

I don't know though, as much as I do enjoy COD4, I may have to switch back to BF:BC tomorrow. :p

Now that I think about it, I did see some people (Sethos, .KICK and I think DM) "skate" across one of the maps. Would that mean that I was lagging, or were they lagging?

But then again, it probably was just .KICK that was lagging, That was the first complaint from him, and the 2nd complaint, and the third, etc... LOL :laugh:

I want to get in on some action as well..

DirtyLarry, thanks for accepting the friend request.

Pendragon85

Not a problem, and now I know who you are!

When you sent it to me, I asked anyone if they knew who pendragon was, and someone went to our Gamerstag thread and looked it up and did not find anyone listed with that gamertag. BTW I added you to it so I hope that is cool with you.

Then I saw you joined our matches, so that was cool as we were doing modes that only accommodated 6 to a team. Unfortunately by the time we had switched to Ground War at my urging so we were just not in a squad of 6 anymore and everyone could play, when I went to invite you you were gone. So my apologies for not inviting you sooner and/or letting you know we were going to switch over to Ground War.

And I am just stating this now in case anyone else sends me a request, I have one slot left as I have 99 friends, and I am not kidding when I saw that is my list after I went through it and got rid of names of players who were inactive the past 6 months. Seriously I have about 6 real world friends I know on my list, and the rest are Neowin members! (Y)

So yeah tomorrow, if we have over 6, we either go Ground War, or just go straight Private. Even if we have just 4 on 4, being all Neowin members will make it fun regardless. :yes:

Sorry I missed you guys tonight. I had some family over and couldn't really play. :(

When you sent it to me, I asked anyone if they knew who pendragon was, and someone went to our Gamerstag thread and looked it up and did not find anyone listed with that gamertag. BTW I added you to it so I hope that is cool with you.

That's interesting, I don't see my gamertag on there... :(

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
