Took me 2 hours to finish the SP game on Veteran.

Very good story line, very good!

2 hours?

:blink:

You just unlocked the rocket launcher in Resident Evil :p

The game just feels like kill rooms to me so far, some nice use of set pieces, but my god those loading screens used to tell the 'story' are monotonous. The fact IW can create such good feeling set pieces makes it disappointing more work hasn't gone into story.

I care. I would've gotten the PC version if not for all the issues.

Agreed, that's why I've chosen the X360 version as well. I need to expand my X360 library anyway (It consists of PGR4, Halo 3, N+ and Forza 2 at the moment, other games on my profile are through friend's discs).

I think trophies are still bugged - I just completed the Ghost trophy and got nothing :angry: I've done it three times now and even followed the youtube trophy guide for it and nothing :angry:

My two friends who have ps3 + mw2 have completed that level without being seen or killed anyone 3 times each tonight, with no trophy.

It's a shame the PC version has gotten so much bad rap. This would've been my first Call of Duty game, too.

I'm not buying the 360 version asn I'm not paying to use Xbox Live anymore (Rarely play online. Maybe once a month).

Ah well. I'm gonna hold off again.

it's just not worth paying for. I perhaps will just download it from you know where
Who said I was going to steal it? You obviously have a guilty conscious. I can naturally get a free trial off my ISP since new games mostly come on their site in form of a free trial with the SP unlocked and MP unlocked. It's what you get when you pay premium price for the internet. Alternatively, I'll just go to a mates place a play it on a 360 but I'm not a big fan of consoles and controllers.

Right... "you know where" suddenly became your ISP. :laugh: cool story bro.

Here's my impression of the multiplayer iv got from the past 2 days:

Bad stuff : The matchmaking is a bit annoying, i mean u cnt choose what particular map u want to play on, you cant choose what team ur on which can get a bit confusin when u keep changing between the US and the Terrorists.

The whole "if the host quits the server is smoothly transfered to sum1 else" is a load of bull crap. Its happened to me 3 times today. First time, came up sayin it had sent the data to a new host and was waiting for there reply, 3min of waiting later, server timeout and got kicked to main lobby (so lost match bonus;s etc), i was confused as to why it didnt try to find another host if that one wasnt responding. Second time, took 2min to transfer to sum1 else. Third time around a minute.

The ping system is a bit sketchy 3green bars if ur <150ms 2 green bars if ur <200ms and yellow bars +250ms. these are approximations i made monitorin my ping on hlsw and wot cod was telling me. And u can tell who yellow bars but it doesnt seem to kick them, so i dont know what the max ping ur allowed is.

Spawning - Big problem on some maps, the amount of times iv spawed with an enemy a few meters behind me is stupid, and does bug me a bit

Ok thats all the bad stuff about mp on the pc iv found so far

Good stuff: I am growin to like some maps, even though a good few of them feel the same just with different skins. Weapon choice is very good as are the perk upgrades and attachments, though they got rid of Deep Penetration and instead made that a weapon attachment so u either have that or a scope. Its a bit annoying you cant unlock all the modes untill ur lvl50+ but i guess it keeps it more interesting that way so u dont get bored after a while. Spec ops is quite fun, though havent tried that on co-op yet

Overall view: Its an alrite game, I spent ?25 on it and for that its good value, but there is no way id pay more for it for the pc. To me i can see it being a great console game but a bad PC game, they really did develop it for consoles and ported it to the pc

I'm thinking about getting this but can't make up my mind between XBox 360 version and PC version. PC version is $59.99 (wtf?) and I have more friends that have the 360 version. But I like keyboard mouse for FPS more than gamepad.

Join the other million of us PC gamers who are all getting it on console instead of PC.

Same as the other Call of Duties.

I prefer it that you can't choose the map, less boring that way.

The actual matchmaking seems slower though :turned:

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A new driver is rolling out to Radeon graphics hardware owners, and alongside support for new games, AMD has just made its FSR 4.1 upscaling tech available to an entire generation of its products. Last month, AMD announced it is answering community requests to bring FSR 4.1 to past generations of its Radeon graphics cards. This would be starting with RDNA 3 RX 7000 products. Right on schedule, this is what's rolling out now with the AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 driver containing official support for over 300 games. Following this, AMD is planning to bring out RDNA 2 (RX 6000 series) support for FSR 4.1 sometime in early 2027. As for the games, this Adrenalin 26.6.2 driver is a recommended install for anyone jumping into Ubisoft's upcoming Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced remake or id Software's DOOM: The Dark Ages' Revelations expansion. The two fixed issues in this release are these: Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing RoadCraft on Radeon™ RX 7000 series products. Purple screen may be displayed when using an HP Reverb G2 headset with SteamVR on Radeon™ RX 6000 series graphics products. The known issues AMD is still working on are the following: Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing Battlefield 6 on AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. AMD is actively working on a resolution with the developer to be released as soon as possible. Texture flickering or corruption may appear while playing Battlefield 6 with AMD Record and Stream on some AMD graphics products. AMD FSR Upscaling and AMD FSR Frame Generation may show as inactive in AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition while playing Battlefield 6 when enabled on Radeon™ RX 9000 series graphics products. Failure to install may be observed while installing AI Bundle components in some regions with limited access to HuggingFace and GitHub. Model flickering or rendering failure may be observed in Maxon Cinema 4D and Blender on Radeon RX 7000 series and above graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1. Intermittent application crash may be observed on some models while running Blender on Radeon RX 7000 and above graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1.

    • Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken by Sayan Sen Microsoft is making some decent progress when it comes to Windows 11. Recently we have confirmed reports of some rather useful improvements landing in the next version of the OS, 26H2, wherein GPU driver TDR crashes may finally be fixed, plus the company is also allowing users to disable web content on the Search. On the Outlook front though things have not been so rosy. Last month in May we reported several problems affecting basic functionalities on the app. These included a problem where documents would open blank or corrupt themselves. Following that, Quick Steps, a very useful feature, would no longer work correctly, and finally, Microsoft acknowledged a problem wherein images would fail to load up properly inside the email. Microsoft had resolved those bugs later and almost exactly a month after we reported on them, the company has now admitted a new similarly basic issue, this time on Macs. Users recently started noticing that Outlook would no longer display email threads properly as the original message itself was not displayed. An affected user Tsoumpas, C (ngmb) nicely described the problem in a forum post they made on Microsoft's site. They wrote: "Description of the issue: After updating Outlook for Mac [Version 16.110 (26061317)] on 18/6/2026, replying to any email no longer includes the original message in the reply window. Prior to the update, replies correctly contained the original email text below my response. Expected behavior: The original message should be included in the reply, as in previous Outlook versions and according to the configured reply settings. Actual behavior: The reply window contains only a blank composition area (or only my response), with none of the original email text included." Obviously this must be a highly frustrating for users as noted by several in that thread. The post, at the time of writing, has also been upvoted by more than 40 users indicating that is a fairly widespread bug. Thankfully Microsoft seems to have acknowledged the problem right around that time as it opened a new issue on its official website. In the support article, the company recommends switching to Outlook for Mac from the legacy app, where the problem appears to be happening.
