Damn... THAT bad? Wow.

the beta anyways. I know you shouldn't judge a beta but it was BAD. at least the bad company beta was fun, i actually got addicted to the beta for a little while. This is one seemed like a washed up version of battlefield and call of duty combined.

I'm sure they'll have zombies, it was one of the best features of WaW. I dunno why but I'm having real trouble getting excited about this game. I took the day off to play MW2 when it came out, but this i'm just thinking "meh, i'll probably buy it i guess".

Well, that's good, since Activision isn't making this game.

Just like Activision didn't make MW2?

About the zombies.. I could have sworn the xbox 360 and ps3 collectors editions, or maybe pre orders were advertised as coming with the zombie maps. And that pc folks had to buy them as dlc or something along those lines.

It's a shame Gun Game is only available in wager matches, that's perhaps a bit too cut-throat for me - I'm such a poor loser, I'd be ragefacing constantly :laugh:

I have to admit, the game is looking more and more appealing for every bit of information they release. I thought at first, based on the Multiplayer reveal footage that it wasn't a full blown theatre mode because you had to place a camera (?) but apparently it is, with free camera controls, slowmotion and the whole nine yards! One of the only features I loved about Halo that I wanted to see in other games.

The player and weapon customization is awesome, the fact you can specifically buy weapons you want and start contracts instead of that massively tedious linear progression of unlocking and chasing challenges. Even all the weapons they put in look fantastic, the GALIL?! Such an awesome gun.

Now my only biggest worry is the random aspect from MW2 - I sincerely hope Treyarch put in some Hardcore barebone for every mode, then I'd be all over this puppy in a heartbeat. ( They are also the only ones to split up Hardcore and Softcore in WaW, unlike IW that just mash them together. )

As much as I want to, I simply can't hate a game that is getting so many "Most wanted" features :wub:

Thank god for that, imagine how much custom they'd have lost.. having to pay two seperate subscriptions to play one game, especially as the LIVE prices are going up aswell.

Yeah but they do have a Call of Duty MMO in the works, that is sure to have a monthly subscription.

      What? They aren't removing the disc drive and charging $800 for questionable performance upgrades that are better suited to a new generation console? How outrageous!

      Bummer it's only 1TB instead of 2. I had one of those - the "Halo Special Edition" OG Xbox. This looks like a cool update.

    • Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for by Aditya Tiwari It's been three years since Google introduced its AI-powered note-taking and research app, NotebookLM. Just when Apple is about to kick off WWDC 2026, the search giant has announced a platter of new NotebookLM features that add agentic capabilities in chat and more advanced reasoning. For starters, NotebookLM now draws its fuel from Gemini 3.5 and Antigravity to improve accuracy and reliability. One of the things people have been asking for a long time is more transparency into the thinking steps. NotebookLM now shows expanded thinking steps in chat, providing better visibility into the thinking process. Google compared the upgraded NotebookLM with prior versions and found that it "achieved an average win rate of over 65% — a 15% point margin above parity — across our top five core evaluation dimensions," including accuracy & quality, multilingual support, large document analysis, document creation, and advanced research. It showed substantial improvements in analyzing large documents, achieving a 69.9% win rate. The system also delivered "exceptional performance" in advanced web research and source discovery with a 78.2% win rate. The AI research tool now generates outputs in more formats. You can give instructions to guide the outputs and download the generated files from the studio panel. Here are the newly supported formats: PNG and SVG for data visualizations and charts PDFs, docx, markdown, and text files for documents PNG, JPG, and GIF for images JSON and CSV for structured data XLSX for Microsoft Excel PPTX for Microsoft PowerPoint You can make edits after the outputs are generated. The feature is available globally; therefore, you can provide directions in one language and create outputs in another. Google said that it's also making it easier to get started with a project in NotebookLM. Instead of having a list of sources beforehand, you can even start with loose ideas, and NotebookLM can help build the repository of sources through the chat. For instance, you can find primary sources in other languages to get new perspectives or explore related works of an author. All of these new features are rolling out globally for those who can loosen up their pockets. They are available to users with Google AI Ultra and all Workspace business customers with AI Ultra access. Google has plans to expand them to more users in the future.
