I found the plane and tank mission to be the most irritating part of the game, especially when trying to shoot anything with the side guns on the plane... those things could barely hit a mountain that's in front of it.... I went through both missions at least twice and found aiming with the guns to be so sporadic. Maybe I'm just doing something wrong :unsure:

Dumb question here I know.

On the PC version, when you search for Co-op servers (yay for a server browser!) you can join and play the Zombie game mode without actually beating the single player game. Does anyone know if on the 360 you can join a Zombie game without beating the single player also, especially considering there is no server browser.

Yo using LT to zoom in? I quickly found out that sucked, so I just stayed to the standard view.

I need to clarify a previous post: the sniper battle is the most frustrating part of this game, at least it is on Veteran. "He knows where you're at, move your position." No problem! Two seconds later I'm dead because he knows exactly where I have moved, despite never seeing me move. And the inconsistency between his shots makes it all the more challenging... which I'm not against, because it's supposed to be challenging! But each shot that hits him? Just a graze or minor wound. C'mon, say it with me: Re-tar-ded! Re-tar-ded!

Yeah, I tried both, but to my recollection, I zoomed in more than not, so I'll give it another whirl when I play the levels on Veteran... if I decide that I want gray hair sooner rather than later.... :ermm:

Took me a few tries of Veteran and once I passed it I was pretty happy. The game is so dumb on Veteran all I see is grenades so sick of them.

Dear God, ?COD: World at War? on veteran is making me want to kill someone; it is quite frankly the most ridiculous pile of crap alive! I mean come on which idiot devised the unlimited stream of enemies unless you rush forward to the next checkpoint; yes before you say anything I know that it is like this for all ?COD? games as I have played them all and finished them all on veteran. But in ?World at War? they have just made it even more crazy and it is just a grenade fest I mean I love it how every 10 seconds or so you seem to have 3 or 4 grenades endless thrown at you. Please don?t get me started on the stupid checkpoint save system as well! I mean why on earth would you have to press start and go to ?save and quit? for it to register your checkpoint saved progress! As I wonderfully found out after booting up the game to play the following day and having to start right at the beginning of the mission again when I was right at the end of the mission before hand!

COD: World at War is very hard on Veteran. There are actually some showstoppers in some parts of the levels and other parts you will get past first try.

Remember to SAVE at all times. If you get past the bit you were stuck on for ages and hit the checkpoint u need, go to save and quit as this will then save your point. I know know how many times i got angry and turned the console off only to find i had to revert at the back of the level. :crazy:

How far are you in on Veteran Rob? I am going to warn you 'Heart of the Reich' is almost impossible and will make you want to smash your controller on the floor etc. It really is that bad.

Thats the level I'm stuck on atm! I did smash my controller on the floor, several times! and I turned the console off without saving it so I have to do all the way up to the bit I was stuck on again Marvelous!

Oh dear.

The trick is to take out the first two Flak88's then work your way up so the tank moves up and gets blown up. You then need to run into the right hand door. Take out the remaining enemys as your men move forward and then move towards the left hand Flak88. Once you take that out run back to the stairs and pick up the Rocket Launcher (or whatver it is called) then go into the building and take out enemys with normal gunfire around the last Flak88. After they have been killed, Aim the Rocket Launcher at the Flak88 and it should blow up! Then....Checkpoint.

That isn't the end of your worries but that it possibly the hardest bit.

      I've been using MWB Premium for a number of years so that along with Windows updates and updated browser should be fine. Thanks for that.

      For some reason I suddenly have the urge to go shopping at Sears.

      So I did a quick test based on 3+ different public instances from the litany at searx.space ... and it spins everything rather differently. It seems that SearXNG is a meta-search engine (queries multiple search indexes rather than only Google's or Bing's or Wikipedia's or Reddit's) that operates in two modes: > public instances ... each instance opens itself to outside users who piggyback on its cached search history; this instance's own identity becomes known/tracked but end-users are hidden similar to an anonymization proxy; this instance's querying of major search indexes may be API based [rated limited, blocked, etc.]). > private instances ... your private install/instance that itself queries multiple (configurable) search indexes of crawled web content; every major Search Engine associates all traffic to your private instance (so your traffic is tracked via network usages) but client-side tracking (your own browser/computer specs) is flushed because it's a "server" doing the querying rather than your browser. My test asked the same 1 question to the 3+ engines and they all returned vastly different results: some had CAPTCHA failures against Google, some had failures against Wikipedia, and the actual results were also different -- some had auto-complete enabled, others returned a wikipedia highlighted excerpt despite the Wikipedia failure (hinting at results being cached from previous keyword matching), and others just gave an Are-You-Human non-CAPTCHA loop before returning random results. So this begs the caveat: Search query results will vary based on which instance is used because every instance queries the other search indexes separate (and thus its results are influenced on that instance's aggregate search history and index-access limitations). The major distinctions for SearXNG versus DDG or Brave: > The search UI is 'untracked' since no UI trackers are baked-in which would phone home or lay cookies into your browser (for DDG/Brave usage stats), > There is no 'crawler' that canvasses the Internet to discover fresh content (it leaves that to the major search indexes), > Queries multiple search indexes ("meta-search engine") based on the configurations and usage history of the server instance, > Privacy-friendly due to its ability to shield user tracking via standing up a non-local server instance connectable to major VPN providers: queries would all appear to come from general VPN/Proxy providers rather than your private instance (whether installed locally or on your own VPS in the cloud). PS: I've previously come across specialized search engines of this nature that indexes searches across media assets like YT, OF, etc. SearXNG seems to be a good backbone...if the rate-limiting/captcha/etc. issues were resolved.
