Well, I managed to get the game for free ( https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=702054 ), so I'll be joining you guys shortly. I'll probably play a little of the single player just to get a hang of the weapons, but then I'm going to jump right into MP. Usually, I'll beat SP first, but I just wanted to play online while it's fresh.

I will be on later today around 7 - 8 pm GMT.

Hit me up when your on, I'm down for some co-op if that helps you get into it (Y)

I played a bit of the single player and then a quick game of the mulitplayer. Seems pretty damn good so far. I was a huge fan of Day of Defeat: Source and while this is way more realistic, it reminds of the game just enough to make it pretty pleasant. Hopefully, next time I go online, there won't be a bunch of 10 year old british kids speaking with the mic half way down their throats .

The single player game is an utter joke on Veteran. It's worse than COD4. At least it was managable and your teammates would follow you up to get to the next checkpoint. In this you have to be superman to do even the earlier levels. It still does suffer from the same bugs that COD4 had (obvious since they used the engine) but they could of fixed the following/moving up system becuase i find i am the only one who does anything most of the time.

Another annoying thing is the when you hit checkpoints it doesnt actually save, so if you turn off your console or eject the disc because you were annoyed, you have to do the whole level again. Doing that on Veteran isn't funny.

I enjoyed the game overall on my first playthrough on Recruit but Veteran is just insane. I did the first 2 levels on Hardered and it was a walk in the park really.

The AI is about 10 times worse in this when it comes to 'charging'. They will stay back until you clear the area, unlike Call of Duty 4 where they would actually lead the attack and kill someone. You know how many times I've been killed by one of those Banzai attackers or a Japanese just standing in the middle of 4-5 American guys!? ARG!

You just have to hit start and press "Save and Quit", then you start at the checkpoint.

Yeah as I said, Veteran is brutal in this game - Not even "Hard" brutal, just messed-up-game brutal.

But I will say this to the day I die, Call of Duty games needs to be completed on Veteran else you haven't really experienced the game. Call of Duty 2 on veteran is by far one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences I have ever had. So intense and requires so much attention, you really feel like you're accomplishing something when you get through the levels.

Pretty much into this game now as much as I was COD4.

For awhile I was slow getting into it, only played MP an hour here and an hour there since it's release, but after today I am just pretty much absolutely into playing it now.

For whatever reason until today I was under the impression Headquarters was not in this version at all. Not sure why I thought that, but since up until today I have not played at any real great length, I have literally always joined other people's parties so I had never got the chance to see the types of modes to choose from. Now that I know it exists and I have played Headquarters, I think this game is just as good as COD4. I see nothing different at all in the game-play of HQ except the obvious difference in weapons, which you adjust to.

HQ was and always will be my favorite mode though. We played Team Death-match for about 45 minutes before we started playing HQ, and I really do not think I ever got above 10 kills, and I had such crappy rounds as 6 & 18. We switch over the HQ and I was doing much, much better. Averaged around 20 kills a round and even went 36 & 7 or 9 (forget which one exactly) one round. A dramatic difference.

I just really like HQ creates tight choke points were all of the action happens. It just suits my style of play better when I can try to know and anticipate where the enemy is going to be and strategize and react accordingly. I get more into the hunter / hunted mode for whatever reason. I know people either love it or hate it, not to many people seem to feel indifferent to that Mode, but for me it is what makes the game so damn enjoyable to play. So damn happy I found out it existed!

You know what DL, I stumbled upon Headquarters through a glitch(trying to join Team Deathmatch) and I immediately thought damn I should tell DL about this, I was under the impression that WAR had replaced it for some weird reason :s But that is not the case so apologies on my behalf.

I love headquarters just as much except I rarely get the amount of kills your talking about :| that's pretty impressive stuff right there (Y)

I am going to be free ALL this weekend and maybe even Thurs and Fri for some time so defo hit me up when you want to demolish the newbs on headquarters and this invite goes to ALL neowinians (Y) Join in the fun ;)

No problem man, if I recall correctly, you were definitely not the only one who thought HQ was gone. :laugh:

This weekend is going to be real tight for me. Thanksgiving with her family today, mine tomorrow, then my High School Reunion on Saturday, so hoping I can maybe play Saturday afternoon or Sunday.

Smeltn I don't have the PC version sorry mate...

Sorry about not accepting your invite. Was in middle of getting my butt kicked in HQ.

When we finished up the round, I went to invite you in, and you were gone.

Try to catch up over the weekend.

Well, the Ray Gun does exist in SP Campaign. Either that, or someone did a real good video editing job.

In order to get it, you're supposed to jump into those craters as shown, then wait in the last one.

I haven't tried it yet, (too late here tonight), but I'm going to try it tomorrow.

    • 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.

      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?
