I'm surprised nobody has expressed their opinions on the "secret" new feature from the game *SPOILER ALERT* Of course, seemingly, multiplayer will have a 3rd person mode? And all 16 maps have been revelaed, and all playlists.

Can't wait to not buy the game. Multiplayer is what makes me buy the game and the whole no dedicated servers is pure bull. Shall "aqquire" ;) the game to play the single player though, but theirs no way in hell I'll spend 60$ for a 4 hour single player game with a crappy multiplayer.

Little better of an explanation.

"It's not something you can toggle on and off in ANY game," said Bowling. The special mode can only be played in private matches -- toggled on or off just like "Hardcore" settings -- or in playlists that are designated for third-person play. According to Bowling, everyone playing in a third-person playlist will be restricted to the viewpoint. "This is just another cool way to play the game," he said, "you obviously will still have the option to play gametypes normal as well."

Seems like a cool idea for something "different".

Oh great soccer moms and half of America is going to be butthurt in tears after this.

Some SP storyline spoilers.

Games are turning kids into Terminator, etc, etc. Hey, 9/11 will probably be blamed on games after that gets mainstream coverage.

For everyone who wants to see the 3rd person, I found a crappy video on You Tube of it (by simply just typing Modern Warfare 2 Third Person, go figure) and in regards to that video you posted AB, I have to say that is not going to fly with a lot of people I do not think.

Definitely not, I'm fine with it as long as it's part of a seriously told story and it's not there as some publicity stunt/rip off of Postal.

It's passed the ratings board though.

I guess I don't see why they are trying to redefine the game even if it is only one mode. This will split the community.

if its kept private then it will not effect rankings... for most people it will be used sparingly and then right back to FPS mode to rank up.. !

How can a "game mode" split the community? Or do you mean like how it already is? I know people that ONLY play S&D and nothing else. They don't matter to me anyway lol.

If it is for private mode only, no big deal then.

S&D, Hardcore, Domination, Deathmatch all TPS would draw a substantial amount of players. Now if jerzdawg is right, private match only is no big deal at all.

ok so they fuss about people having to "search through server lists to find servers people want to play on" but now they add another "mode" of play that people aren't going to like, so they will have to search through server lists to not join a 3rd person view server? Am I getting that correct?

You're not getting that correct, it's a separate mode on its own, and can't be enabled for just any game online.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • PowerToys is getting a new window management utility

      By matthiew · Posted

      When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!

    • Windows 10 quietly gets one more year of support and updates

      By matthiew · Posted

      I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
    • Microsoft raises Xbox console prices by up to $150, discontinues 2TB version

      Full ACK. I went too far adressing your post specifically. And as you said, it up to us customers as participant of the market dynamic as it happens to decide whether we spend our money on a product or not. The responsibility is to the company. In case of this price hike one could assume that MS is expecting or even starting to see a new interest in XBox hardware so they want to avoid losses per unit sold. I find it fair enough that they granted a period in which everyone interested could grab a unit for the current price (Amazon.de has a reliable stock of XBox Series X digital, which I bought last December after having sold my day one Series X a year ago). It is not that they cash up their customers starting on Monday. Cheers and let's cling to our perfectly fine hardware as long as we deem it worthy in relation to purchasing something new!
