Don't go too far...

I think the campaign itself is too linear. Maybe it's like this in all other COD's too, but I don't know as this is the first I've played. It would be a lot better if it wasn't so archaic...and short.

I liked the length of the campaign, personally. I hate singleplayer games that drag on and just repeat themselves (see: Doom 3).

Glad I didn't buy the fail version aka PC version (N)

Was there ever any doubt which version you were getting? :laugh:

Uncharted 2 was a great length and it was considerably longer.

I don't get this. On multiplayer I get around four killstreaks, but when I was on the phone, I kept getting more I got to six. Off the phone, I suck. lol.

Haha, had the same a few nights ago - I was on a terrible streak that night, I then went to get my toothbrush and brushed my teeth while playing, I got an pretty nice killstreak :laugh:

Whoever you were talking to made you so mad and furious you just had to express your anger somewhere.

woop , finally got my first nuke :D ,before now i'd never seen/had one in game belive it or not , was playing domination on wasteland and went through my guns ammo plus 2 pickups off dead enemys , got 1 kill with the predator missile and then i managed to stay alive long enough to clean house with my chopper gunner before unleashing all hell with my nuke , it was a pretty satisfying feeling to be honest . And there was no way the other team could catch up so i thought what the hell , final score for me 36-1 and i garuntee right now i'll probobly not get another nuke for weeks or even months .

I was under the impression that kill streak rewards don't actually count towards your kill streak? COD4 and WaW did but MW2 doesn't.

Anyhow congrats, 36 kills is impressive, I want to see a nuke!

It just depends on what kind of killstreak reward you use. Predator missiles count towards your streak bu the sentry gun does not.

Veteran on this game is super easy.

Because there's also Spec Ops mode now, which is also required to be completed on Veteran to get "1000/1000" in the game, as you'd call it -

I think it's a fair trade-off, because some of the Spec-ops missions on Veteran are a pain in the ass.

Am I the only person who plays spec ops on veteran completes a map which takes you around 20 mins then at the end see that IW did it in around 2 minutes and just think WTF, how, theirs noway they can be doing this on veteran? wonder if they have any videos of them completing it.

I don't think the sentry gun counts towards the kill streak becuase your not directly controlling it , you just plonk it down and let it get on with it and it's not leaving you vunerable on the ground like the predator missile and chopper gunners do , although saying that as far as im aware when your piloting the AC130 that actually takes you off the map so im not sure about that one . I just checked the barracks as well and it says my kill streak stands at 33 not 36 so im not sure what happened unless it takes some off for the team mates killed with the nuke even in regular mode .

Erm, I don't think so. I've had 5 kills, used Predator Missiles , got 2 kills but didn't give me my 7 kill streak award. :blink:

You can get it onto third person? How?

It is available for several multiplayer game types.

Maybe I'm wrong. I haven't used that killstreak reward in about 25 levels but I can double check today and see if it does.

Predator DOES go towards your overall killstreak same with almost every other killstreak reward. ( Could be game-mode depending but it 100% does in TDM and S&D )

It goes towards your kill streak but doesn't help you getting the kill streak reward! I've never had it help me in any game mode! :s

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

      By excalpius · Posted

      The only difference here is that you think you came up with these reasons. You didn't. These age old fearmongering lies (that were NEVER true) were funded by and the anger stoked by Putin through proxies like Farage (and later in the USA, Trump) and filtered down through the skinheads, Neonazis, etc. until it reached the uninformed, ignorant, and gullible -- never realizing they were being played for fools against their own best interests. Even now, despite all of the EVIDENCE proving that Brexit was a terrible mistake for ALL citizens of the UK and that its supporters were tricked by Putin's proxies into sabotaging their own nation, you're still here defending these well-known lies as if they were ever true. Not only are they not true. They NEVER were. So, when are you going to realize that you were lied to and actually get angry at the liars and charlatans who lied to you, instead of blaming the innocent people they lied to you about?
