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.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      Web search has been one of those crap ware that I try to get rid of asap. It's annoying and slow. It was a cheap way for Microsoft to drive traffic to Bing.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By WaltC · Posted

      All I can say is that think the USB G8 is better in many ways, and costs the same or slightly less. I wouldn't part with mine. It's even a big improvement over the G6 USB. (You can also use studio phones (up to 600 OHMs I think) with the G8, but I have to say that even relatively cheap 30-50 OHM phones sound absolutely great--far better than through most internal motherboard sound!) Considering the difference in these products I am surprised that Creative is still making the PCIe internal card versions. https://www.headphoneer.com/cr...ve-sound-blaster-g8-review/
    • I have really been nerding out on my desktop icons and feel compelled to share...

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I missed this when you first posted it, but those are awesome icons! I would normally prefer things to be uniform, but each of those icons seems to fit perfectly for the game! If I may ask though, what was your thought process on which icons are circular - MK makes sense - and which ones should be rectangular or square?
    • Microsoft Paint used to be my favorite Windows app as a kid, and it's still pretty good

      By WaltC · Posted

      What I like about Paint is using it almost exclusively for cropping and resizing images I get elsewhere--it's quick, easy and cheap... I keep it glued to my taskbar, in fact. Also, the clipping tool comes in handy, as well (hit print scrn on the keyboard and it activates immediately.)

      I still remember it fondly today. It was so cool to work in 64-color Half Bright mode and 4.096-color HAM mode (interlaced) when x86 was still in 4-color CGA or 16-color EGA low res. C= never realized what it had until it was far too late--the failure of C= was the failure of its top management. The C= Amiga was 20 years ahead of its time, I always thought. It didn't hurt that in only 512k of chip memory, the Amiga could preemptively multitask when Apple was still doing gray scale graphics on tiny screens and along with everyone else was doing cooperative multitasking (running more than one app at a time in resident memory, but you could only run one of them at a time--had to manually switch between them.) I had a ball with AREXX scripting running between programs that had AREXX ports so that when you sent other applications data and instructions, those running applications could process the same in real time to output! Memories...
