"MW2 was crap" *Goes to YouTube and watches videos of it all the time*

"MW2 was biggest rip off in history" *Buys MW2*

"MW2 is full of Hackers, don't buy it" *Tops Steam sales for months*

"i'll never buy an Activision game again" *Pre orders Black Ops*

It's only me this really happened?

Same here, but I was looking forward to MW2 last year. Then when I actually played it after a while it became crap and I said to myself I would never buy a CoD again. Now I am going to go and buy BO. :p

Oh yeah.. same here..

MW2 was disappointment but they really nailed the game mechanic.. but as always we were shafted by rush to get our money and the game was glitchy, unbalanced and so on..

Single player was fun but disappointing as the story was pretty much garbage. I loved every single COD game by IW prior to that one and MW2 didn't even come close to the nice and concise story COD4 had.

But I played it for a while.. then I stopped playing for a long time.. then I got back into it when they patched everything and released those DLCs at a lower price.. I had fun but then I started getting upset again with people being dipsticks and playing alone, camping and not carrying about the objectives and I had enough and I traded it in.

The reason why I already paid Black Ops in full is because i have much more faith in Treyarch and that they will make a great game.. This is MW2 but the way it should have been and so much more.. What's admirable about Treyarch is that they really listen.. they follow the community, and with every release of COD they were getting better..

COD3 was mediocre.. but they tried bringing something new with those quick time events and stuff.. it didn't work..

Then they listened, learned from their mistakes and release World At War.. which was the best World War II shooter ever.. it had some parts of the campaign that kind of lagged a bit but overall it was unbelievable and instead of creating some useless things in the singleplayer they really did something difference and pretty awesome with the Zombies.

Now, I have absolutely no doubt they will prove themselves and give us a terrific single player experience and by the look of it pretty awesome MP because again they listened to the community a lot. Wager matches is one of those things you wonder why nobody really did them before.. putting a bet on yourself and getting rewarded with points and stuff is pretty awesome and that's just one of the things from new MP.

If by any chance, everything we have seen, turns out to be montaged and BS and the game sucks (highly doubt it), I will probably be done with Call of Duty series permanently.

Videos 7 through 14 still work. :p

Indeed. Still working for me as well.

The maps certainly look encouraging. Apart from Villa (and a little bit in WMD), it looks like Treyarch has done away with that awful grungy look that every World at War map seemed to have (yes I realize that those maps were based in WWII, and no that's not a valid excuse). Havana looks like it will be right up my alley, since I tend to like urban maps the most. Jungle looks like it will be sniper heavy (it reminds me of Estate from MW2 based on appearance alone), so it's probably not for me personally. That said, it is definitely easy on the eyes. As for Nuketown, that is definitely an interesting idea. I'll be curious to see how it plays out. If nothing else, I like the little mannequins, apart from the fact that they don't fall over :).

If you told me six months ago that I would be anticipating the release of Black Ops, I would have told you that you're crazy. But now I have it in my Google Calendar, and I intend on giving it a good amount of attention during my four day weekend.

Thanks for uploading those, Sethos :).

Someone on the Gaf asked me to show off the FAL and the PSG1, so might as well share the video here as well - While it's up ...

A revolver with an ACOG? LOL

That's even funnier than using Barrett with ACOG and Double Tap in CoD4. :p

    • Outlook classic is inherently better than new outlook, for a number of reasons. That said, if the only reason people need office is to read email, they should just use thunderbird.
    • Windows 11 is a big thumbs down from me. I used for a period of a few days while it was in insider and windows 10 was the main OS, and realised it wasn't for me. I am still waiting for Windows to be tolerable again, a shame as at one point I was very pro Microsoft.  
    • Classic outlook, not only does it have a much fuller feature set, it doesn't include Microsoft attempting to sync my emails from my servers to theirs. If classic outlook is ever removed from office, and the version I paid for in 2021 stops working for some reason, I'll use Thunderbird.
    • Kdenlive 26.04.2 by Razvan Serea Kdenlive is an acronym for KDE Non-Linear Video Editor. It works on GNU/Linux, Windows and BSD. Through the MLT framework, Kdenlive integrates many plugin effects for video and sound processing or creation. Furthermore Kdenlive brings a powerful titling tool, a DVD authoring (menus) solution, and can then be used as a complete studio for video creation. Kdenlive supports all of the formats supported by FFmpeg or libav (such as QuickTime, AVI, WMV, MPEG, and Flash Video, among others), and also supports 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios for both PAL, NTSC and various HD standards, including HDV and AVCHD. Video can also be exported to DV devices, or written to a DVD with chapters and a simple menu.

A built-in title editor and tools to create, move, crop and delete video clips, audio clips, text clips and image clips. Ability to add custom effects and transitions.

Visual effects include options for masking, blue-screen, distortions, rotations, colour tools, blurring, obscuring and others. Configurable keyboard shortcuts and interface layouts. Rendering is done using a separate non-blocking process so it can be stopped, paused and restarted. Kdenlive also provides a script called the Kdenlive Builder Wizard (KBW) that compiles the latest developer version of the software and its main dependencies from source, to allow users to try to test new features and report problems on the bug tracker. Project files are stored in XML format. An archiving feature allows exporting a project among all assets into a single folder or compressed archive.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.
