The most serious problem with this game at the moment is the dodgy spawn system imo. On Nuke town there's me and 3 friends running around in one of the gardens behind the houses, but the enemy still spawns in the same garden, or in the little fenced in patch behind the garden.

Yep, that's why it's best to try to not go in the gardens unless you're camping there or you've just spawned. Otherwise, get to the house/garage or the other side of the map in the houses front garden.

That's the only way to not get killed on that map...or just sit on the top floor of the house, either at the entrance or window, and just pick people off that way.

I've been beasting on nuke town lately and that's pretty much what I do. I put a claymore in the middle of the two entrances to the top floor so if anyone just follishly runs in they get blown up, then I just stay in the room picking people off out the window, occasionally running to the balcony in the back garden to kill people spawning there.

Managed to go 25-6 earlier so it's not a bad tactic :D

Finished COD veteran last night.

Difficulty - Same as MW2 for the most part. Had a few more parts that made me think, but it was no biggie and nothing huge. If you completed MW2 then this should be about the same

Story - Was stupid and saw it from a mile away. So much for a twist. Meh, could be better, but haven't seen a decent COD story since MW.

Game seems to be doing the same thing for that MW2 did for me. Was fun for the first 20-30 hours then it was just blah. Been having fun in MP, which is great so I'll see how long that lasts.

Still, though same old **** from the past 3 games with some new additions. Nothing ground breaking, nor nothing warranting a $60 buy.

I want to ask a question which is totally ****ing me off regarding the game.

I have Ghost as one of the perks. This allegedly stops you from getting attacked by air support, HOWEVER, heli's and what not mince me in every game. Does anyone else have this problem?

This is a glitch that they will fix, right?

Has anyone ever had people talking crap online? As in, "I'm better than you. You're bad!" It almost always ends in the same way. They talk smack for doing well in one TDM game and leave once you start owning them. Funny thing is, all the crap talkers have poor ratios (e.g. less than 1.2).

Yeah if it's the Pro version you got, standard it's just invisibility to the Spy Plane.

Oh, what?

Damn, and here was me thinking that standard hid you from everything. I have to go do those challenges now. ;)

I keep my mic off unless I'm playing with friends or family. Even then, I mute everyone that I don't know.

This was the case when I used to play MW1 and MW2 on the 360. Still reigns true now that I play Black Ops on the PS3.

definitely an improvement in terms of single player campaign, the MP is OK, a little too short range for my liking. i'd like the maps to be more open, like they had for COD3. overall Black Ops is one of the more memorable CODs, though, mostly because of the 1960's setting, the fantastic presentation, the characters, the music etc. Heck i think i'm in love with Frank Woods, he's one of the better characters we've had in a game recently!

So the usual then, game comes out, everyone jizzes their pants and a week later everyone is complaining about how broke the new COD is? rofl.gif

Basically. I am glad I held off on purchasing it, as I knew this was going to happen. Horrible spawn positions for enemies in some maps and some maps just suck (Jungle). No CoD will ever beat MW1.

And the game is still getting a lot of praise for its core balance and gameplay, at least people complain about actual broken stuff unlike two previous games where people complained about gameplay and game features.

Where did I say any different? :p

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By madhopsman · Posted

      Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.

      Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.

      Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      By RejZoR · Posted

      Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
