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.

    • What? They aren't removing the disc drive and charging $800 for questionable performance upgrades that are better suited to a new generation console? How outrageous!
    • Bummer it's only 1TB instead of 2. I had one of those - the "Halo Special Edition" OG Xbox. This looks like a cool update.
    • KillerPDF 1.4.3 is out.
    • Google's NotebookLM gets some useful features you may have been waiting for by Aditya Tiwari It's been three years since Google introduced its AI-powered note-taking and research app, NotebookLM. Just when Apple is about to kick off WWDC 2026, the search giant has announced a platter of new NotebookLM features that add agentic capabilities in chat and more advanced reasoning. For starters, NotebookLM now draws its fuel from Gemini 3.5 and Antigravity to improve accuracy and reliability. One of the things people have been asking for a long time is more transparency into the thinking steps. NotebookLM now shows expanded thinking steps in chat, providing better visibility into the thinking process. Google compared the upgraded NotebookLM with prior versions and found that it "achieved an average win rate of over 65% — a 15% point margin above parity — across our top five core evaluation dimensions," including accuracy & quality, multilingual support, large document analysis, document creation, and advanced research. It showed substantial improvements in analyzing large documents, achieving a 69.9% win rate. The system also delivered "exceptional performance" in advanced web research and source discovery with a 78.2% win rate. The AI research tool now generates outputs in more formats. You can give instructions to guide the outputs and download the generated files from the studio panel. Here are the newly supported formats: PNG and SVG for data visualizations and charts PDFs, docx, markdown, and text files for documents PNG, JPG, and GIF for images JSON and CSV for structured data XLSX for Microsoft Excel PPTX for Microsoft PowerPoint You can make edits after the outputs are generated. The feature is available globally; therefore, you can provide directions in one language and create outputs in another. Google said that it's also making it easier to get started with a project in NotebookLM. Instead of having a list of sources beforehand, you can even start with loose ideas, and NotebookLM can help build the repository of sources through the chat. For instance, you can find primary sources in other languages to get new perspectives or explore related works of an author. All of these new features are rolling out globally for those who can loosen up their pockets. They are available to users with Google AI Ultra and all Workspace business customers with AI Ultra access. Google has plans to expand them to more users in the future.
