IMO, COD5 is going to suck. I went in with low expectations, installed the beta, and after playing a few minutes, it hit lower than low expectations. Graphics are sub-par despite having stronger requirements than COD4 (I know this is a beta, but honestly the COD4 beta was way better), and Punkbuster is a hassle.

I'll elaborate:

I have COD4 installed with Punkbuster, and it works just fine. I installed the COD5 beta, and I figured that since PB was installed with COD4, I wouldn't need it for COD5. I clicked 'no' on the option of installing Punkbuster, but now I'm getting kicked due to packet loss (even after enabling Punkbuster in the multiplayer options).

Does this mean that I have to have PB installed for COD5, even though it is already installed for COD4? I don't want to stop my COD4 gameplay for a limited beta. Help would be appreciated.

Try the PunkBuster updater. I don't see why anyone can see punkbuster is a hassle. Pb in theory should update itself but on occasion it doesn't, I just run pbsetup and it updates the pb client for all my games that use it and I dont get kicked anymore.

Bah, just played the beta on the 360... very meh. Running around with weapons from other countries feels stupid and grrr, how much damage does a tank need to take before it explodes? I hit a tank with 2 x tank shells and then it was either 1 or 2 rockets and it still wouldn't blow up. Plus you get the usual unpleasantness of very laggy gaming (but its like that for most 360 games so..). I dunno, perhaps I'll pickup the PC version when its abit cheaper. :(

And whats up with the Keifer Sutherland voice actor the americans? :p

Loving Keifer doing the voices.. Really cool IMO...

PC version seems to be better than the 360 version as far as gaming experience goes (having fun). I was like some of you at first. I came into it with a bad taste in my mouth because it was being done by Treyarch, and after my first couple of rounds playing I still felt that way, but the more and more I play it the more I enjoy it. I mean I am lvl 40 now (which is max for beta) and have just been going back and unlocking everything I can for weapons, and still having a blast, even though I get my butt handed to me sometimes because of the weapons I am using.. ALTHOUGH I must say that double barrel shotty is HAWT!!!

Invasion of the bodysnat..., wait, pirates!

:laugh:

I'll wait for reviews on this, I never completed COD4 anyway. Never got into MP either, but I know it's critically acclaimed.

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

      By zikalify · Posted

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      The only difference here is that you think you came up with these reasons. You didn't. These age old fearmongering lies (that were NEVER true) were funded by and the anger stoked by Putin through proxies like Farage (and later in the USA, Trump) and filtered down through the skinheads, Neonazis, etc. until it reached the uninformed, ignorant, and gullible -- never realizing they were being played for fools against their own best interests. Even now, despite all of the EVIDENCE proving that Brexit was a terrible mistake for ALL citizens of the UK and that its supporters were tricked by Putin's proxies into sabotaging their own nation, you're still here defending these well-known lies as if they were ever true. Not only are they not true. They NEVER were. So, when are you going to realize that you were lied to and actually get angry at the liars and charlatans who lied to you, instead of blaming the innocent people they lied to you about?
