[Official] Call of Duty: World at War


Recommended Posts

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.

    • 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
