Picked up my copy at Walmart... after I got it saw that Best Buy is giving pretty good trade in values...

So after work ill trade in New Super Mario Bros and Mario Kart ($30 a piece)... pick up COD.. then return that one to Walmart... all is good.

MW2 is also $30 @ BB

hey guys. have a strange request. im playing from behind some bull**** university firewall than bans you for 30 mins if it detects p2p traffic. apparently matchmaking is p2p traffic. but it works fine if you join someone elses lobby. so could as many peeps as possible add me on live so i can join peoples games and play! wouldnt ask but its doing my head in.

GT: elmarto755

thanks!

MW2 was my first COD game and I absolutely loved it (Multiplayer mainly)... Do you guys think I should shell out the 60+ bucks and get BO? I know its early but is the general consensus that its on par with MW2 or maybe even better?

Its got some nasty launch day bugs (multiplayer stuttering, zombie mode online doens't work at all, wager matches are very buggy and say server full when u try and join one) but gameplay wise it is definitely improved over mw2.

Well I completed SP on Normal.

It p*sses all over MW2 campaign. Much better story and the action is intense pretty much the whole way through.

Nothing as good as Pripyat but the variation of stuff you have to do is great and it never gets dull.

Some of the checkpoints are a bit unclear and in one place I didn't realise I was meant to push forward and basically spent 10 minutes killing enemies before I realised they were spawning forever Laughing

Summary:

COD4>>>>>COD:BO>>>>COD:WAW>>>>>MOH>>>>>>AIDS>>>>>>>>COD:MW2

Still getting slow performance on MP but it's getting better, the more I play a map the smoother it plays. I guess this is due to map caching but I'm not sure.

same thing happened to me when i played the game on my laptop (nvidia 320m). Desktop (ati 5770) no problems.

Just tried a few matches on the 360 mutliplayer, i feel it will be a skip for me. Seems to be the same ol' campfest. It seems like a good enough game, but i just hate shooters where i have no clue where i'm being killed from. There just too many spots to hide where it's nearly impossible to spot people, walk around a door and then I'm dead. I'll stick to Halo.

Maybe you shouldn't run and gun ;)

I've tried both ways, i tried playing sneaky and i still got killed by unseen people, and i played run and gun which ended with the same result. It's just not my type of game, i prefer in Halo that players are easy to spot, and stand out from the environment so even if they get the jump on you there is still a chance. It only takes one shot in CoD it seems to kill me, and i find the guns to be so boring, i enjoy unique aspects to guns (stuff like the Needler in Halo i feel adds a cool twist to things). But it seems to have a high production value, just not my type of game.

Don't forget about zombies and gun game.

Also have you tired capture the flag and other such games?

They require you to move.

    • Apple finally brings the slider for Liquid Glass and many other changes by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off the official live stream of the WWDC 2026 annual developer event. The company began its latest wave of announcements with changes to the controversial Liquid Glass design language, which debuted last year across Apple's entire software ecosystem. A lot of people didn't like Liquid Glass when it first arrived on iPhone and other devices last year. The devices were plagued with transparency issues and whatnot. While Apple improved things over the year, it has now added a new Liquid Glass slider that lets you switch the transparency from clear to opaque. The sidebars now expand to the edge of the window. When you scroll the UI sideways, the refraction continues beneath the sidebar rather than being cut off at the boundary. Moreover, Apple has changed the way Liquid Glass is rendered across the system. There is a separation between different layers, which makes buttons in the toolbar stand out from the background. Apple said it "deeply appreciates" the feedback it received from users and has made adjustments to Liquid Glass.
    • FWIW, I've been using Helium on Linux and Windows since the first time it was mentioned here. Actually, maybe a day or 3 before, as I searched for it when I saw it mentioned on the MX Linux forums. Haven't had a single issue on either OS. Not bad for a beta.
    • See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every zionist accusation is after all a confession.
    • He's just reporting what Microsoft posted. https://msmessagecenter.com/MC1381119 It just means that Windows Defender updates will no longer be bundled into the monthly Cumulative Windows security update and will now be a separate download. They'll still be on Microsoft update of course but now they can be released faster.
    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.
