Is anybody still playing? I finally got home so I might have some free time. If not tonight (since I'm studying) tomorrow I don't have much going on.

I'm on for tomorrow (Y)

Larry, thanks for looking out, and habnad, thank you so much for the code.

As far as the game goes, it's okay. I'd personally stick to COD4. Also, the textures seem really weird to me.

I do however, really like the game mode WAR. really reminds me of battlefield, and it's the only mode Larry, Habnad, and I don't totally suck in LOL.

You are not alone... Something really wrong about the whole graphical look of this game. Cannot for the life of me point it out but it just don't seem right.

CoD 4 is graphically better IMO.

Not a problem at all man. Just don't forget about me Feb 1st. ;)

Meant to tell you, funny thing about that, is I had told Larry right before you replied that I was going to tell you that you owed me beers! :laugh:

Yeah, I'll agree to an extent. The graphical look does seem "off" compared to COD4. But...and Larry pointed this out...there's more colors (especially on the Castle map). The buildings, the landscape, even the ground is much more colorful and bright than the majority of the original COD4 maps.

Haha but be honest DL take away Mystic and you take away the Pwnage :laugh:

Don't look now but I think me and you, we kinda suck (in comparison) :p

It's all good and well because we always have buckets of fun (Y)

Oh without any doubt, without mystic, we would never win. LOL

And I was not so impressed last night, but I only played 20 minutes.

Played a good hour and a half tonight, and it has grown on me. I definitely like War the most out of all the modes. I still do not think it is better than COD4, but with that said, I think it is pretty damn close, just obviously way different weapons, which lets be honest, the more modern guns in a COD4 are just more fun and powerful to use. That does not mean I think the weapons in this game are not fun to use, just different.

And I also do like the different take/approach on some of the perks, and also just some of the affects of using certain items, like the Gas grenade which causes you to get dizzy/disoriented, I think the way the handled that specific one is a cool approach.

Also as habnad pointed out I said, I personally think the graphics are just as good as COD4, it is just there is a very different color palette used in certain maps than compared to COD4 (so much so in the Castle Map), so it does have a slightly different look to it overall, but I personally think the graphics look almost identical to COD4.

So I actually like it overall. Still not sure if it is a definite purchase, but that is simply because of the overwhelming about of games being released soon, and nothing else.

It feels alot like CoD 4, which is a good thing imo. But I totally love the gun sounds. They sound awesome, way better than they did in CoD 3 actually. The maps are nice, and the flow of the game feels pretty solid. So, I'll probably pick it up for PC when it comes out, maybe for the 360 later if I see it turns out to be as popular as the previous game currently is :)

Cheers for the games Habnad, Massiveterra and Larry. Definitely made the game more fun but I am still not liking it a whole deal. Like Massiveterra said, the textures do seem pretty off but they do have more colour than COD4 I suppose.

Oh and dogs are so annoying!

I love dogs but I was more then happy to put continuous rounds of shotguns shells into the ones presented in this game. So annoying :|

And DL I agree with the color selection being more vibrant now but something about the way the games looks still bugs me. It's not as crisp as CoD 4 was. CoD 4 had the "wow" effect on me the first time I played it which was online and I kept getting that "wow" feeling many times after so for lack of technical words I didn't get that "wow" feeling with this game :p :laugh:

First thing I noticed was, it looked like the game ran at a very low resolution compared to Call of Duty 4, lots of jaggies and every texture also seemed low-res and very muddy ( Not war-muddy just low-res muddy ).

Maybe that's just me?

I am playing it in 1080p and it does look pretty bad like you said :(

HOW THE HELL CAN DOGS KILL ME WITH ONE BITE!?!?!?!?

They only kill you in one bite if you look at them :) You can hear them coming from quite far away so it's not that bad. No where near as annoying as the chopper in COD4 catching you out after the game decides to spawn you way out in the open.

    • Secure Boot

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Simple answer is yes, you will still get the Windows updates and as long as browser is up to date, you will be good. Only thing secure boot does is protect you against boot level threats and make it harder to install other OS's. I've been looking into this pretty thoroughly lately myself as wifes computer has secure boot disabled plus my other, older computers that run Linux, don't have secure boot enabled. Have seen all kinds of questions about this on the Linux Mint and MX Linux forums. Just don't suddenly enable secure boot now.
    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      How many other companies will follow Ford's lead? Or, have they already gotten lazy and become enslaved to AI--and now can't figure out how to get out of that mess.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      Why would any self-respecting intelligent person follow any recommendation by Donald's GOP administration? With almost two years of fabrications, deceit, and blatantly illegal behavior, why believe them now? They had best be gone after the November 2026 election, so we'll wait and see.
    • AltSendme 0.4.1

      By Copernic · Posted

      AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
