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?

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.

    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      By Skyfrog · Posted

      For some reason I suddenly have the urge to go shopping at Sears.
    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      By Nas · Posted

      So I did a quick test based on 3+ different public instances from the litany at searx.space ... and it spins everything rather differently. It seems that SearXNG is a meta-search engine (queries multiple search indexes rather than only Google's or Bing's or Wikipedia's or Reddit's) that operates in two modes: > public instances ... each instance opens itself to outside users who piggyback on its cached search history; this instance's own identity becomes known/tracked but end-users are hidden similar to an anonymization proxy; this instance's querying of major search indexes may be API based [rated limited, blocked, etc.]). > private instances ... your private install/instance that itself queries multiple (configurable) search indexes of crawled web content; every major Search Engine associates all traffic to your private instance (so your traffic is tracked via network usages) but client-side tracking (your own browser/computer specs) is flushed because it's a "server" doing the querying rather than your browser. My test asked the same 1 question to the 3+ engines and they all returned vastly different results: some had CAPTCHA failures against Google, some had failures against Wikipedia, and the actual results were also different -- some had auto-complete enabled, others returned a wikipedia highlighted excerpt despite the Wikipedia failure (hinting at results being cached from previous keyword matching), and others just gave an Are-You-Human non-CAPTCHA loop before returning random results. So this begs the caveat: Search query results will vary based on which instance is used because every instance queries the other search indexes separate (and thus its results are influenced on that instance's aggregate search history and index-access limitations). The major distinctions for SearXNG versus DDG or Brave: > The search UI is 'untracked' since no UI trackers are baked-in which would phone home or lay cookies into your browser (for DDG/Brave usage stats), > There is no 'crawler' that canvasses the Internet to discover fresh content (it leaves that to the major search indexes), > Queries multiple search indexes ("meta-search engine") based on the configurations and usage history of the server instance, > Privacy-friendly due to its ability to shield user tracking via standing up a non-local server instance connectable to major VPN providers: queries would all appear to come from general VPN/Proxy providers rather than your private instance (whether installed locally or on your own VPS in the cloud). PS: I've previously come across specialized search engines of this nature that indexes searches across media assets like YT, OF, etc. SearXNG seems to be a good backbone...if the rate-limiting/captcha/etc. issues were resolved.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      For a guy who claims to hate Farage and the ignorant, gullible, rightwing racist skinheads sponsored by Putin that his lies represent, you sure are quoting them time and time and time again, mate. I guess you're conveniently ignoring the fact that your country and commonwealth just happened to work much better when it was still part of the E.U.? Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.

      Do you live in the U.K? Do any of the people here that are against the UK leaving the E.U, live in the U.K? If not then why are you bothered? If you do live here then it is a different thing . Brexit was a good idea, should have done it years before, it was done badly, but the idea was good. You are saying the same thing as remainers do, oh we did what Putin wanted, we listened to the lies and Farage. I hate Farage and never believed most of what he said, certainly did not believe the £350m a week for the NHS. But we did pay a lot of money to the E.U and yes some of it came back, but what is the point of paying it out for only some of it to come back? Get out of the E.U, no money to them and in theory we can use the money to do things in the country. I said in theory, but our governments are a total and complete waste of space. No matter what colour rosette they wear. You and others say it was a mistake and yet the two main parties in the U.K are not looking at rejoining the EU, I wonder why that is? I was not tricked by anyone. Makes no odds now, we are out and have been for 10 years, what we need is a decent government to run the country. All they do is shout at each other like a load of kids and seems to do nothing and make this country more into a police and nanny state. Getting more like China all the time.
