No offense but if you were that drunk, I'm not sure why you are spouting off your opinion.

lolwut?

Being drunk doesn't stop you remembering an experience unless you're blind drunk, if anything it'll probably make him more honest about the experience than be caught up in the "OMG IT'S MODERN WARFARE 2" hype.

New rule on Neowin, Drunks don't have an opinion? :rofl:

So after going to a mates Halloween party getting very drunk and completing this in 7 hours. I can say: It's MW1 with new guns and a 24 esq plot.

No really. It's almost the same!

The COD series has been like that since...forever

Shoot enemies that dont really matter, they come in waves and no matter how many you shoot its a matter of time before you can move on to next spot lol

They just keep on coming

Did you have a chance to try out multiplayer?

Vaguely, was only playing on a shoddy 26" TV so splitscreen, as you can imagine, wasn't all that fun. From what I did play it's very, very slick. It's like MW on steroids, the weapons selection is about the same as the original but the customisation is more rounded allowing you to slap mods on to everything my personal fave being the silenced shotgun ala No Country For Old Men ;D

if anything it'll probably make him more honest about the experience than be caught up in the "OMG IT'S MODERN WARFARE 2" hype.

To be honest I haven't been following it. I did enjoy the original and have been rather skeptical about this with the whole- "Yeah PC gamers won't see any chang- YEAH NO MORE DEDICATED SERVERS LOL."

But my biggest beef with the SP in the original, the AI, is much improved and rounded. The enemy's no longer appears to be spawning from magical door in a terrorist version of Narnia, they don't spam nades and use them much more effectively and they flank you a lot more. The story is... Alright... It's not great it's like a badly written Tom Clancy novel and uses the whole dying gimmick from the first far too often this time round taking the edge off the n'th time it happens. It does use it for some rather movie-esq scenes though in it's defence. Other than that as you'd expect it's Modern Warfare. It hardly deviates from the path of the last game and not in a Uncharted 2 good way either. Some of the set pieces you've come to expect are beginning to smell a tad stale.

Biggest question of all I guess: Game of the year? Pfft, I'm sure the media have already made up their mind regardless. IW could produce a turd and they would herald it as the second coming of Christ. In my opinion, it's good, no doubt about that. It isn't GotY material though. It most definitely feels that a majority of the time was spent improving the MP and they are running out of ideas for the SP side of things. Is it worth buying? Well. Depends if you like the MP or not.

I've been playing it at a friend's house the last couple days, sp and mp, and my opinion is that it is an upgrade, but not worthy of a sequel. A mod at most. I've played better mods actually... With the fact they removed mods and servers from the pc version I can't justify purchasing it myself. I just bought Borderlands, so that will keep me busy until bad company 2 hits stores.

If I get cod withdrawal I'll always have mw1 and waw to get my fix. Hell, I still have cod1 and cod2.

Slightly impedes his ability to critically think, no? He is going to see the surface of the game and not look past it for any changes being drunk.

I'm just saying playing video games drunk is a completely different experience. For me, I'm very functional but it just involves like 20x more swearing.

You want to pay for dlc that was in the original mw? The only way I can see people wanting to do that is if the don't own the original.

i'll pay if they are the levels i like

infinity ward can make this game into a ?150 game if they wanted, dlc options are endless. multi maps, special ops maps, they can also add in a zombies mode if they want

Gamestation doing midnight openings all round the country

http://www.gamestation.co.uk/lowdown.aspx?...idnightopenings :D

?44.99 is far too much for me:((

I hope that Asda and Tesco bring down the prices again, if they do I might go to one of their midnight launches.

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      By TsarNikky · Posted

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

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      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.
    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      By zikalify · Posted

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
