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.

    • JetBrains launches Rider 2026.2 EAP 5, bringing several AI improvements by David Uzondu JetBrains has released the fifth EAP version of Rider 2026.2, bringing a faster startup flow with the new non-modal startup screen and quality-check hooks for Claude Code and Codex. In the latest EAP release, Rider now has newly bundled "quality-check" hooks that run background tests on code edits before the external agent proceeds. For example, after Claude Code rewrites a class, Rider immediately triggers a PostToolUse hook that analyzes the code for syntax errors and formatting warnings. It then passes those findings back to the model as feedback, allowing the agent to fix its own output before finalizing the task. If Rider detects compilation errors, the IDE prevents the agent from treating the task as complete, while minor formatting warnings simply help guide the model toward better output. The "Explain with AI" feature can now tackle tricky build errors directly from the console, helping .NET developers who frequently wrestle with multi-targeting failures and MSBuild errors. JetBrains introduced Explain with AI back in the 2024.1 release cycle. With this feature, instead of forcing developers to copy long diagnostics into a separate chat window, Rider now lets you trigger these explanations directly from the error source. In similar EAP news, JetBrains recently opened the first EAP for IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2, with features that appeal to both those who are into AI-assisted coding and those who prefer "classic" manual development. For manual developers, the release adds revamped dependency completion for Maven and Gradle build scripts, which pulls data directly from the local cache to suggest relevant versions. It also brings the Spring Debugger update, displaying security indicators next to endpoints to visualize secured routes during runtime. In addition to database migration tools for Flyway and Liquibase, this build introduces a Hibernate debugger that shows the exact SQL or HQL queries that the framework plans to execute, letting developers jump directly to the Java code that triggered them.
    • I have updated my Series 9 Watch so I assume there is either a mistake in what was said, or as suggested - the new AI feature set isn’t supported on anything other than those listed above.
