Playing on normal at the moment, I've died only twice thus far, both from grenades, which I hope isn't a sign of things to come fromthe rest of the game, and really hope it isnt like that in veteran.

The game really is too easy on normal, you can take loads of damage. I was able to simply run past masses of enemies in parts of the game!

I'm gonna go for Veteran at some point in the future... wanted to enjoy the story and get on with the multiplayer for now :)

Tesco

?25 when you also purchase 2100 Xbox Live Points Card, 3 Months Xbox Live Gold Membership, ?20 PS3 PSN Card. ?39.90 on it?s own.

Any idea if that will still be on later today / this week?

I was going to wait and just get my girlfriend to buy it for me for xmas, but as I need some XBL points anyway (to buy Limbo and a couple of other XLBA stuff), I'm tempted to pick it up now.

Stupid Amazon...

Hello,

We're sorry for the delay in shipping the order you placed on September 14 2010 (Order# 104-8329968-8624212). We have good news -- the order is now being shipped! You should receive a shipping notification shortly, within the next business day, for the following item(s):

"Call of Duty: Black Ops with Laser Cel"

http://www.amazon.co...duct/B003O6N39W

The shipping notification will include an updated estimated delivery date and tracking information if it's available.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused by this delay.

*****

WHY WAS MY ORDER DELAYED?

While we do our best to adhere to our delivery estimates, our inventory is constantly changing based on information we receive directly from our suppliers. Occasionally, unexpected fluctuations in supply, delays during shipping, or changes in release dates for new products will add time to our original delivery estimate.

*****

WHAT IF I WANT TO CHANGE OR CANCEL MY ORDER?

If your order hasn't entered the shipping process, you can change or cancel it in Your Account:

https://www.amazon.com/your-account

If the order is "shipping soon" or "completed", you won't be able to make any changes as it's on the way out the door; we apologize for any inconvenience.

This is now the 3rd time this has happened with me. I pay for Amazon Prime, which means I am supposed to get Release Day shipping for free, and again, 3rd time they have messed up a video game release day order (BF:BC2, God Of War III, now this). Not happy as tonight is really the one and only night I have free this week to even check any game out. May go pick it up at Gamestop or WalMart or something, but did it through Amazon since I got it for $40 as I had $20 credit. So probably gonna suck it up, not play it tonight, and hope I can get to playing it in the next week or so. My weekend is packed with plans so just not going to be able to play it then either. Really tonight is the one and only night I can play. realmad.gif

Oh yeah, went to cancel it through Amazon, and I could not, since it was in the shipping process. You would really think they would have enough man power when they expect these games to ship. Even worse is I know some people who ordered it through Amazon are getting it today, for whatever reason I am the one who got screwed.

What did you order the game with? Seems like you ordered it with a laser something. That might be why.

See below.

I placed my original order around the same time with Amazon and canceled it and placed a new order on Nov 1st. I rather have the discount towards my next game than some laser cell-a-majig...

It's Out for Delivery atm.

So you cancelled your order, reordered it on the 1st, and it was delivered? That means it might damn well be that Laser Cell stupid thing I did not even want. I actually saw the credit towards another game, and the way I read it was if I already placed a pre order, I would get it along with the laser cell, that I did not have to re-order.

Looks like a pre-order freebie.

You should complain to Amazon, try and get some money back for buying Prime.

Yeah right it was just a freebie that I honestly will never even use so really could care less. I am going to call and complain, no doubt about it. Especially if the laser cell was the hold up, ship it seperately and get the game out. Going to see if i can get at the very least the $10 credit towards another game that I already thought I would be getting, or else I would have done what schiz-o-phren-ic did and cancel and reorder, as I really, really could care less about a laser cell.

How would you rate the multiplayer compared to MW2? Going to pick it up in a little bit and i don't wanna start off crap and get a rubbish K/D ratio :p Something me and my mates are competitive about. With MW2 it was a while since i played COD and failed everywhere :p

MP on PC seems to be a little broken. Played a few rounds and even on servers where everyone has good pings (50 - 70) a lot of people, myself included, notice a sort of lag when shooting at people, almost a jittery lag like the games dropping to 15/20FPS. But mouse responsiveness and movement seem fine when running around. Going to scan the steam forums and see whats up.

a treyarch game better than an IW game? Where are all of the people that call them Treysuck?

A lot of the original team from Infinity Ward that made MW1 and prior CoD games awesome, left the company. When the original CoD crew from IF was there, their games were always better than Treyarch's.

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      By WaltC · Posted

      Never had a problem with TPM and started using that many years ago in Win10. Through several motherboards and OS versions, it just does what it does without complaint. My games library doesn't even know it's there. Secure boot does a lot more than support anti-cheat, as it came along long before anti-cheat software. I've used it religiously since before I started using TPM, and I always liked it for being able to nullify virus contagions that try their best to come in underneath the firmware during boot, so that the OS doesn't see them, etc. That is its purpose, imo. I'll never understand why people who elect to use another OS feel compelled to run down Windows... I guess they need to do that to feel secure about their choices? I run Windows because it supports all the software (including games) natively that I want to buy, and I've never had to run down another OS to make me feel better about it. (Although it's certainly possible to do that, of course...) Win10 is on a ventilator atm, and Win11 is very close to being free, and I finally got to stop running StartAllBack as I moved to the Experimental/Dev channel and my 26300.8553 build supports the moveable taskbar and it's running fine at the top of the screen! Finally, my last major dislike of Win11 is being rectified! So, I'm not at all surprised to see Win11's share of the Steam survey hitting 70%.
    • AMD 9070XT

      I can answer about the Linux bit. I only used AMD GPUs. I currently have a 9060XT (8GB) that fits my needs, I'm not a gamer, so I don't need that much GDDR. But lately, NVIDIA has grown a lot in the recent years. Oh, the horrors of NVIDIA drivers not working. But they have been getting better. I know a lot of members onm here that are running cachyOS and other distros, and are fine with a 4090/5090 variants. Really, though, I would stick with AMD variants.
