Main thing that is ****ing me off, is the lack of spawn point. You've got a map bigger than Cod4's countdown, and there are only 4 spawn points per side.

I've ost count i've spawned inbetween two enemies and been killed instantly, only to be forced to sit fr 15 seconds to respawn, i do respawn, killed, sit and wait again.

Also the amount of times it has spawned an enemy in our base on capture the flag. Now that IS just rediculus.

Apoptosis: I have a 6.1 surround set and I have never heard anyone sneak up behind me in Call of Duty 4 when they weren't sprinting. Even back in the days where I had my 360 hooked up to my PC monitor and had to use my headphones / headsets I heard nothing ( High-end Sennheisers ) So I guess you need special hardware to hear it which imo is a flaw with the game. I think it was me who mentioned something about butchering, I just wondered if treyarch had butchered the recipe which I can see they haven't ... They just copied it directly.

I will be getting the 360 version for sure. The PS3 controller is horrible for FPS games coupled with the fact that voice on the PS3 is crap. Some people are too loud, some you can't hear, others have some crappy microphone and some have constant static ... Really is the big flaw of using an 'open' standard and letting users buy their own headsets.

And I do agree with King Antonius. I haven't had that many problems with spawning but sometimes you do spawn behind enemies and they spawn behind you, really annoying when you spawn in an artillery zone or right next to a pair of dogs.

I agree with the problems of requiring special hardware (for the record, if you have turtle beach headphones, or good surround sound headphones then you'll hear it all).

Has anyone played multi-bomb S&D? How does that work?

I completely forgot about the beta :( I guess I wont be getting it :p

I'll still be looking forward to the game though :)

Not to late to register at EG (released tomorrow morning allegedly) or pre-order at GAME (and then cancel your order :shiftyninja:)

So I finally hit Rank 11 after what, an hours play time?

There is nothing wrong with the game itself, everything is working just fine and the entire game is a proven recipe which is also the problem. Feels more like an expansion pack and nothing else, I just don't have that "Oh I want to play another round" or "Wow, I love this game!" moments because I feel as though I tried everything before. I will probably get the game because I loved Call of Duty 4 but I still played that game way too much for this game to feel "new". I also still have my doubts regarding to the single-player campaign because a) it's treyarch developing it, they seem to make some extremely boring and generic single-player experiences b) it's the pacific side of World War 2. I love WW2 but the pacific war is really boring in my opinion :p

But the co-op is really a huge plus for me no matter how bad the single-player campaign is ( Like Halo 3 ) always turns out to be loads of fun but multiplayer will only last a solid month or two.

Then a thing I absolutely hated about Call of Duty 4 was, there is no footsteps when you aren't sprinting ... why?! So annoying when a soldier can sneak up behind you even though he is running with like 20-30 pounds of equipment, really ****es me off. Sorry just had to get this in, it's still annoying me big time :laugh: Hate having to constantly check my surroundings with a controller, tires out the thumbs extremely quick.

Oh and another small thing which might just be me but there is something iffy about the rifles. At 50ft or 2ft the bullet travel time is the same. So annoying when you have a guy RIGHT in front of you and you still have to compensate for travel time, what the hell?!

I agree with everything bolded there, basically sums it up for me.

Looking forward to co-op as i have NO IDEA how that could work in a WW2 game :laugh:

Had to boot up the laptop just to add something I forgot.

What is it with those weapon sounds? They have no oomph whatsoever! Why does every weapon have to sound like a starving African child hitting some tin-cans with a broken wooden spoon? Call of Duty 4 also suffered from this with some of the weapons but it's even worse now. World War 2 weapons made a ton of noise.

Argh ****ing tell me about it, they've captured the WW2 scene perfectly, apart from the weapon sounds! I was using a rifle earlier and it was like ''click click click''.

CoD4 weapon sounds were the ****.

That is exactly what I want to test out if I can get a key for the beta. I was an avid player of COD 4 as well and I also have been quite outspoken in this post about just how much COD 5 is exactly like COD 4.

Are any sites still giving out keys?

Why the hell couldn't they have added at least one Hardcore mode, sick of this regular crap.

Been playing hardcore mode ever since it was released for Call of Duty 4, going back to regular mode is a royal pain in the ass. Game feels so ADHD in its regular form! Everything is just chaos, constant chaos.

"ARG SHOT IN THE BACK, 50 DOGS OH NOES ARTILLERY, 700 RECON PLANES OH NOES 200 GRENADES, BANG BANG BANG!!!!11" Give me tactical damnit!

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Limited Prime Day deal sees Amazon Echo Show 11 is at its lowest price yet

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By ad47uk · Posted

      So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
