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.

    • 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.

      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.

      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.
