I am reading about more squad based online play?

Is that true, to what extent? I am reluctant to purchase the game because I do not know if it will bring anything more to the table than Call of Duty 4. If someone can persuaded me to get it...

For the past year COD 4 has been my main Lan Party Game. I thought about getting Quake Wars since it is more team based. I just want to know the extent of team based stuff in multilayer COD World At War has.

My opinion on this game is not outstanding. I tried to play single player but it just doesn't work for me. Its way too bloody. You can actually see a grenade blow open someones head. The blood is so real i get goosebumps.. As for multi player well that's better. But if you played beta, you will be disappointed. What does killing Zombies have to do with WW II?

If you ask me, cod4 is way better.

In case you don't know the cod series are made bye 2 publishers : Infinity Ward and Activision.

Call of Duty 1: Activision = Failure

Call of Duty 2: Infinity Ward = Huge success

Call of Duty 3: Activision (not for PC) = Total Failure

Call of Duty 4: Infinity Ward: Complete success

Call of Duty 5: Activision = Well follow the pattern!

Um no. Activision have published all the CoD games, and Infinity Ward or Treyarch have made them all.

CoD1, 2, and 4 were made by Infinity Ward. While CoD3 and 5 were done by Treyarch.

err wrong.

Activision are the Publishers of all the COD series. The 2 designers of the games are Infinity Ward and Treyarch.

But Fill in Treyarch on all the lines you have Activision and yeah.. You are right, but just wanted to make that correction.

And yeah United Offensive wasn't bad either.

There is far more developers who have worked on COD than just IW and Treyarch :p See post above!

I bought Call of Duty: World at War Collectors Edition and here is my review;

The game itself is awesome. Very realistic with actual bodily damage being shown. Though it's a bit too realistic in the multiplayer concerning the weaponry. It takes almost an entire clip to kill a guy on multiplayer. By the time I get artillery, I am already scrambling to find another weapon or ammo. The single player is awesome, love the flamethrower. What I hate though is that the grenade indicator shows up too late or doesn't show up at all, so I am going "WTF" half the time.

The Collectors Edition is another story. It's a waste of $20! It's pure bull**** and an example of false marketing.

The CE comes with;

- Call of Duty Canteen (Not intended for drinking)

- Unlocked lvl 45 FG-42 weapon (I think, I am at school so I don't know the actual weapon)

- Customizable Clan tag

- Week of double XP

- Storage tin with custom artwork.

Now here is where the problems start;

- Canteen is actually a tin with cap welded on and horribly engraved "Call of Duty", therefore it's paperweight, even for a collector.

- FG-42 is unlocked, ONLY in pre-made classes. To use it in custom classes you have to go up to lvl 45.

- The clan tag IS NOT customizable. It simply changes colour to a barely noticable gold, in addition, this Gold colouring doesnt even show up some games. My friend confirmed this for me.

- Week of double XP.... not yet. They have not stated this week of double XP yet and have stated "until a later date".

- Storage tin my ass! Yes it is a storage tin, unfortunately the foam that was used to hold the canteen is GLUED into the storage tin. Therefore only 1/6 of the tin can actually be used for storage.

Well my point is that cod5 sucks lol...

It just isnt the cod series style. Way too much blood.

Sorry I had to laugh when you said it isnt COD because it has to much blood. You do know there is an option to turn the blood/gibs off right?

The only publisher is Activision. There are two developers working on CoD. Infinity Ward and Treyarch. CoD/2/4 were made by Infinity Ward and CoD3/5 by Treyarch. I currently don't have CoD5, but from the past 4 games, CoD4 is the best.

Seems to me most of the people that don't like this, don't like it because of the gore. I would like to know: if that gore wasn't there would it be a good game? I'm asking because no amount of gore is going to bother me and I just want to know about the game play/mechanics. Is it good or not? Try to look beyond the gore and give and informed, honest answer please. Does it stack up at all to the last one?

Yeah the funny part is, most people bitch about not having ENOUGH gore in a game.. Unrealistic blood/guts/etc.. It's actually quite funny.

Completed the game. I only just got it this morning, but I have been playing almost none-stop so it took about 5-6 hours. Pretty short, but the multiplayer is where it's all at. Anyone who buys CoD purely for the single player is.... not human. Although it was very fun, it felt alot like a CoD game unlike CoD 3. Treyarch have really done themselves justice with this game.

I just wish more people would host Domination servers on the PC, all servers seem to be TDM or S&D. I hate S&D with a passion, and I sometimes want something more than just TDM.

Well unlike COD4, I actually finished COD5.. cod4 wasn't bad but it was boring.. after a couple of levels in COD5 they started to up the pace and it was very fun. The battles were intense and it was a quite immersive. The blood, guts, limbs flying off & heads splitting open was a great addition to the game, so much more fun. I was sceptacle at first but it grew on me and I would recommend it except the campaign is too short, unless you're into multiplayer.

    • 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?
