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.

    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
