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

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

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

      By ExecutiveFunction404 · Posted

      This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.

      The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
