lolwhat?

You expect them to add laser guns to WW2?

You can't modify the past Munky, of course it has the same guns seen in past WW2 games.

Only in future war games can you make **** up.

Same war again? Wait, is one not taking place in WW2 and another in the future? It's also a different part of WW2 than most other WW2 shooters take part in, you'd know that if you played the SP campaign.

Same engine complaint? You expect them to build a new engine in a year?

Same menus? Yeah menus are the most important part of the game.

Same game modes? Just about every FPS game takes the same online modes, with minor iterations. Guess you forgot you don't call in a helicopter in COD5, or that you have a zombie mode, etc.

It truly is indeed the same exact same game.

Same weapons - I'm fed up of using the damn thompsons and MP4* guns. Of course I don't expect any new weapons to make an appearance, I'm just saying its boring as hell playing another game with them.

I don't need to play the SP to know which part of the war it takes place in. Medal of Honour has already made games which includes the eastern and pacific fights, they sucked, as does COD5.

Umm yeah menus are important. Why do you think PC gamers were so annoyed with UT3 being multiplatform (other than the game changes), oh yeah! they dumbed down the menu for consoles. So yeah, they are important (Y)

Like I said in the COD5 vs L4D topic, if you want a proper "zombie mode", play L4D. Again though it just proves everyone hyping this damn mode up when its really not that great. Read the COD5 vs L4D topic if you need a reminder!

Don't even get me started on the glitches either..It just goes to show they didn't test enough after porting the game from COD4 hence why all these holes are left in!

I never called it the "exact same game", I said it was a rehash of COD4 with minor changes that don't warrant a full price tag, and it doesn't!

Just stating nothing can be done about it, and it can't.

You can't make up guns that don't exist.

I don't need to play the SP to know which part of the war it takes place in. Medal of Honour has already made games which includes the eastern and pacific fights, they sucked, as does COD5.

Uh that's kind of hinting that you haven't played the SP, yet you somehow feel it sucks?

Umm yeah menus are important. Why do you think PC gamers were so annoyed with UT3 being multiplatform (other than the game changes), oh yeah! they dumbed down the menu for consoles. So yeah, they are important (Y)

Uh what does a PC game menu have to do with two console games menus?

Nothing wrong with COD4 menu, so why change it for COD5?

Like I said in the COD5 vs L4D topic, if you want a proper "zombie mode", play L4D. Again though it just proves everyone hyping this damn mode up when its really not that great. Read the COD5 vs L4D topic if you need a reminder!

Yeah if you want a whole zombie game.

My point was there's extra content in COD5, not that COD5 has a better zombie mode than L4D.

As for everything else, you clearly hate the game, fair enough.

But I'm just trying to give Treyarch a bit more credit than some of you guys being totally harsh on them when there's piles of actually terrible games being released.

I'm not asking them to either, I just said its boring.

And a great mod once says "just because I wasn't in the war doesn't mean I don't have an opinion on it". I can have my say on plenty of games when I have indeed played it, watched plenty of footage and read about the game to know what I'm talking about. Do I need to play the enitre SP before I have an opinion? No. This is just like Uncharted again, I played the demo and gave an opinion. Then bought the game and the opinion is exactly the same. Deal with it, it can happen!

Uh what does a PC game menu have to do with two console games menus?

Nothing wrong with COD4 menu, so why change it for COD5?

You made it out like menus weren't important and you couldn't be further from the truth. They are 100% important, so I'm correcting you. What games I choose to explain to you doesn't matter, I was giving an example.

Yeah there is nothing wrong with the menu, I never said that either, I just said leaving it the same as COD4 just shows even more how lazy they were to change it.

As for the rest, yeah I do hate COD5 and I have given my reasons. What are you doing in this topic when I haven't seen you actually take part in the discussion at hand. Where's your opinion on GoW2? This isn't a fan club for COD5 and why we shouldn't be giving it a hard time.

This has nothing to do with other "terrible" games out just now. We're discussing GoW vs COD5 (Y) Maybe you ought to do the same?

You can have an opinion on whatever you want but in a topic where you're trying to help someone choose a game, if you haven't even played the SP mode of one of the titles, yet are giving advice on it your opinion is skewed.

And we all know how different demos can be from retail. They represent a fraction of the game, and in a lot of cases an old build at that.

It's not the COD5 fanclub, but the people who've actually put time into the game don't want the original poster getting one sided views from people dismissing a full game and commenting heavily on everything that's wrong with it, when they've hardly played it.

Seeing as you like GoW2 better, I'm sure you'd be disappointed to see swarms of people giving out opinion on the game with very little play time.

Maybe I can only give advice on COD5 as I haven't played GoW2 enough? That is partly the case, and rightfully so I haven't been shooting off about GoW2 as I haven't played enough of it to give good personal advice.

Why not just leave the thread if you don't want to actually contribute. Sharing opinions is not illegal, and neither is arguing/debating about them. Neither Munky or Audio is doing anything wrong, let them be.

Yes Mr. Staff ... OH WAIT! :rofl:

What does that have to do with anything? Is there even any purpose to you being in this topic, except trying to irritate? Go troll somewhere else.

@ Audioboxer: You say there's nothing wrong with essentially being the same game with a different environment, but wouldn't you rather it at least attempt to improve on the previous game(s) in the series?

Yeah if they'd been able to be adventurous and succeed I would be happy and wouldn't play it down. If it were say, COD in space or something :p

I got riled up as I believe Treyarch did do a competent job in bringing us a new COD, yet people still seem to have the "hate on Treyarch" vibe, and I admit, most of us did have it BEFORE release.

You know, back in the day when everyone said they'd fail miserably, no one would buy the game, and all those other shed tears about the future of COD.

Fact is, they played it safe, didn't fail and delivered a worthwhile game. Just think it's a little harsh how dismissive some people are of the game/developers, when really, if you liked COD4 the core mechanics remain intact, so the only real reason in my eyes to be put off is due to the era.

Or just you're plain and simply happy with COD4 for now - But I still don't see why that's a reason to tear COD5 a new one?

A statement that can't really be answered but I'll chuck it up anyway, maybe IW wanted to do the next Modern Warfare title 100%, and if that's the case where else could Treyarch really have gone? There are other options, and okay, they did pick WW2, but they choose an area of WW2 not that heavily documented in games.

Again, I don't think Call of Duty: World at War is a horrible game. I just think it's pretty bland. It doesn't have the flair that Modern Warfare did, and it really is just a new coat of paint (environment) over an old game. You can't simply keep releasing the same game and expect people to praise you for it... at some point you've got to take a shot out there. World at War didn't improve anything, in my opinion, and that should be the goal for any sequel, as I said before.

And I don't really know that their area of World War II wasn't really documented in games. We had Pacific Assault and a few other forgettable World War II shooters in there that were set in a similar environment.

I personally thought that campaign for WaW is god awful. It's frustrating when you get killed by an enemy that is behind you standing next to one of your guys and then have to do the whole mission over again. The AI seemed just ridiculous and they might as well made it so you were a one man team since you end up killing everybody yourself anyway.

Besides that, I like the multiplayer feel of CoD.

Overall:

Multiplayer: WaW > GoW2

Campaign: WaW <<<<<<< GoW2

      Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.4 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 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name 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
