I thought the singleplayer in MW2 was decent, but the original was pretty good. But I'm not buying another "decent" game with a nonconstant stream of cash.

I agree about the single player, I enjoyed it in both games and the currency system sounds interesting too. (Y)

Thanks for the re-uploads :).

The chopper gunner doesn't look as bad as it was in Modern Warfare 2, but I suppose time will tell. No thermal sight with the chopper gunner is definitely a step in the right direction. Everything I've seen from the gameplay looks encouraging (especially the betting matches that we saw in the trailer), but I just hope that the maps are up to par. World at War had some terrible maps, which was a shame because I actually didn't mind that game from a gameplay perspective (in fact, I probably prefer that to MW2).

Either way, the guy in that second video is a far better CoD player than I'll ever be :( .

Theatre mode = Halo.

Awesome addition to Call of Duty though :D

It'll add a whole new dimension to machinima videos. There's a lot of editing talent out there for Modern Warfare 2 videos.

Yeah, was / is an awesome feature by Bungie and I always wanted that in other games - Now it's actually in a game where I want to see my matches, see the effects.

It's going to be so effin' sweet :D

( People say that Theatre mode video is old, I hadn't seen it so I posted it )

I've never seen it either so thanks :)

Looking forward to this. I'm away from home on my driving course when it releases though. Think there's a Sainsburys store across the road from where I'll be staying so I'll get it cheap hopefully :)

Does add some nice options for machinima videos, but the execution is terrible. Whenever the camera being moved and there's more than on person on the screen, the **** lags like crazy and texture popping out everywhere.

Not good if you want to create something watchable.

I really need to get some money together for this, looking forward to the Supermarkets having price wars again.

While it is great that Halo 3 had a Theatre mode and was probably the first on a console, it didn't invent it, lol.

I agree, I don't know another console game that uses it beside Halo. I'm not saying "zomg Treyarch copied Bungie olololol" as it is a great addition to the game.

    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

      There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
