Yeah, just look at the comments, already people are like "OMG best game evarrr". When it looks like it plays exactly like MW2.

Sigh.

Edit: Oh wait commando is gone? So commando is now standard lunge length? Did they just think oh **** it to any semblance of balance? We'll make it so it: "dun look goods"? :laugh:

Quality quote which sums up my feelings to a tee over on GAF: "Instead of fighting man versus man, its perk versus perk."

lol... why is that "fail"

It looks like fun.

Also did everyone watch until the very end of the trailer?

Yeah because we need to give the 12 year old kids with high pitched voices another way to be annoying? They're trying to cover up that there is really hardly anything new or innovative in this game with annoying gadgets. I'll get the game when it's less than $30.

What is peoples obsession with 12 year old kids? Am I missing something? In my experience they in no way dominate annoyances online. And it's not like it's hard to mute.

You're right it might not be new or innovative... but it should be fun none the less. I don't think they're trying to cover it up.

and everyone called me crazy when I said cod4:mw sucked and that Activision was starting to move the series to consoles. Cod2 was the last good game of the series and thats only because the game play wasn't overly complex and a rank didn't mean the difference between being able to use a more powerful weapon or not. perks and ranks are what destroyed the series. of course competitive gaming in cod4 sucked because of all of the extra features and variations of how to play it.

Now that i have seen this trailer i am now certain i will not be buying another call of duty game again, just look at how unbalanced it is, Cameras, Explosive RC Vehicles, Spring loaded Spetsnaz Knife, same stupid care package killstreak and from the looks of it Commando still lives, i am so done with Call Of Duty and Activision.

The only good thing from this is the video editor, which should have been implemented years ago.

I wasn't planning on pre-ordering, but now I might do so. I want to get one of the special editions.

I see you are one of those people that are easy to entertain and don't see the extreme unbalanced nature of this game.

I saw the unbalanced nature of MW2 but still enjoyed it. I spent most of my time in Hardcore mode however. It's mindless fun.

How can you tell it's unbalanced from the trailer? And Commando won't be in the game.

Did you watch the trailer? Did you see the guy lunge from 10 feet away with the knife? Seriously don't get how people can say this looks good. Another game that is going to be dominated by kill streaks.

Commando Lunge

Pavelow

Care package

Predator Missile

So far those things are all straight out of MW2, and those are just the ones they showed in the trailer. The same thing applies to MoH. We already have this game, bought and paid for. Why do we need another one?

Granted but aren't you disappointed to see that so many of the things that are in this game are pretty much copy and pasted from MW2?

Not really. I loved MW2. Of course, I am always for change, new features, and improvements.

    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I sort of agree with you on that. I had a telescope - a real hefty thing, although only around 500CHF - that got me so fascinated about the stars and planets. I would stare for hours, amazed that I could see the craters of the moon or the rings of Saturn in "realtime" (quotations because, y'know, speed of light and whatnot). A friend of mine has a telescope like the one mentioned in the review, and the pictures are amazing to look at. But there is something missing for me. I may as well just go to NASA's website and look through their gallery.
    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions

      By +pmrd · Posted

      As opposed to catching bad press because it's the engine's fault? You didn't really think this through did you? lol. The engine has all the tools a dev needs to optimize their game, Epic isn't gonna hold their hand to make sure they use them. Also, Epic isn't forcing anyone to use Lumen, Nanite or super high resolution meshes and textures. Just because Nanite can render meshes with millions of polygons doesn't mean you should use it like that, in fact, Epic recommends you avoid doing that. Most of the stuttering can easily be fixed by cutting down on unique shaders by using master materials and generating a PSO cache and compiling every shader before loading the game and managing what must be loaded and unloaded at runtime, it's up to the developer to set all that up properly.

      I think it depends on what you're looking for to do, and the time you have to spare. With my Dwarf 3, I easily spend 3-4 hour sessions; half an hour driving to an un-light polluted place, another half hour unpacking and setting up the smart scope + tripod for equatorial tracking, then 15 more minutes mucking around with settings and shooting calibration frames, spending a few hours shooting, merging with past photo sessions, etc. It's crazy how time flies and I often get home later than I expected. It's something I still need to set aside a good part of an evening to do, all in all. For one session, where you often need like four for best results when it comes to deep space objects. Even with a smart scope like Dwarf 3, regular non-astro photography is still way more approachable to people getting into photography. I find this is a time consuming niche no matter how I go about it. With practice, I can probably begin cutting time here but I think where smart scopes find their home is among people who love to shoot the night sky but don't have the spare time to go deep with the "navigator level" attunement to the night sky itself in addition to everything else. Having said this, _if_ you have even more time to spend on this hobby, it will probably be even more rewarding to do it more by hand and learn the skies and the details of how it all works.
    • Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon

      I misread the title and thought Teams itself would be redesigned. Imagine having this one as a native WinUI app.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame by Sayan Sen Last month Neowin reported on a major issue on Dell systems wherein a bug in its official support tool was leading to endless blue screen of death (BSOD) and restarts. Following our report, Dell officially acknowledged its SupportAssist-related crash issue, confirming that the culprit is not Microsoft's operating system but rather a faulty version of its own remediation software. In a newly published support advisory, Dell stated that version 5.5.16.0 of Dell SupportAssist Remediation and Alienware SupportAssist Remediation can trigger blue screen errors and unexpected system restarts. The company notes that the problematic component operates independently of the main SupportAssist application, meaning users should not remove the primary SupportAssist software when troubleshooting the issue. According to Dell, the crashes are linked specifically to the SupportAssist Remediation service, which is bundled with SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools, and as such it has since released an updated version, 5.5.16.1, which is said to resolve the problem. Affected users are advised to first verify whether version 5.5.16.0 is installed by checking the Installed Apps section in Windows Settings. If so, Dell recommends updating SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools through either SupportAssist's "Update Software" feature or Dell Command Update. Dell also advises users to back up important data before performing the update and to ensure systems remain connected to power throughout the installation process. If you are still having issues though make sure to report to the Dell support forum. As it turns out though Dell is not the only PC maker currently dealing with update-related headaches as HP is also facing a separate but probably equally frustrating issue involving recent Windows Secure Boot updates that were released with recent Windows 11 Patch Tuesdays. Similar to Dell, HP also put up its own support article where it explains the issue. The company says that affected devices could hit a brick wall when booting as they run into a BitLocker recovery loop after the April 2026 updates. The problem appears to affect systems wherein the new UEFI Secure Boot CA 2023 certificates fail to apply properly. As such affected users will find themselves entering their recovery key over and over again despite the system otherwise functioning normally. HP says such PCs should be updated to the latest available BIOS version and configured with the necessary Secure Boot certificates before installing Microsoft's Windows 11 Patch Tuesday updates. Systems that are already experiencing the problem may require BIOS configuration changes to restore normal boot behavior. Admins can find information regarding that in the support article here on HP's official website.
