Oh and I'm pretty sure I came across my first cheater - Russian guy called USRWRUS or something. 39 kills to 2 deaths. He killed me about 7 times and whenever I watched the killcam he straight out headshotted me with insane precision even when I was come out from behind a corner - his gun followed me direction through the wall :/ difficult to do once or twice even with the muzzle flash red dot but 7 times in a row?

This console or PC? On consoles I'm sure there's an option to turn on the "aimbot" and adjust it so much that it virtually shoots for you.

Well there's not a lot to be done about it, it's such a small map and wherever someone spawns there's virtually always going to be someone directly in front of you. It can only be fixed by making the map bigger...which isn't going to happen.

Rust was better on MW2.

Yay fixes :)

I hadn't got the entering into private matches when searching for player matches bug until tonight. It was weird looking for a wager match and then suddenly I'm being prompted to choose and sniper rifle on friggin Nuketown. Which idiot set that game up? At least its getting sorted.

Have they got rid of the ability to jump into the cable car on Summit? first week I saw loads of people inside it, I tried to get in it and its impossible. Don't see anyone in there anymore, might just be me.

So I started the single player last night and played one of the most bull**** part of a video game I've have ever played. You know what part I'm talking about...going down the hill in the Vietnam level...with the barrels...So apparently I played that one part for almost an hour always being attacked by infinite respawns and not understanding why I'm not progressing and why I keep dying. I hear them say something about the barrels so I start to shoot them nothing happens. I spend so much time figuring out where to go and the game doesn't progress. So I look it up online, and apparently I'm supposed to hit X when I'm standing next to a barrel. Total bull****. Where in the game are you supposed to figure that out?

It took me a while to get through that one too. Finally watched a video but didn't follow it. I cleared the left side while what's his face ran with the charge. I then went to the right, cleared that out and then dove into the ammo cache and then popped out and went the left, cleared some guys out and then to the middle just below where you'd think you should go. Did the barrel and ran back, then moved down and did the next one. It took me so long to do it. Now I'm suck on the next mission where you run through buildings, I can't freaking get past the part where you are outside on the roofs. Someone always kills me :angry:

The biggest thing that ****es me off about that part is that in EVERY SINGLE SCENE before that, the game basically holds your hand in telling you what to do and even has the big FOLLOW marker above Wood's head. But in the Vietnam downhill battle, nowhere in the objectives list or the o- screen marker tells you anything about barrels. And if you have the volume low and don't have subtitles on, you could miss any dialog about barrels to begin with.

a lot of people were confused and ****ed because the marker is in like the middle of the hill isn't it?

The marker is in front of the bunker in the middle of the trench. That means if you spend 10 minutes fighting down the hill, moving from barrack to barrack and make it to the marker, no scripted event happens. The enemy keeps respawning and you eventually die and keep wondering WTF? I kept making it down to the marker about 10 times before I realized that's not what I'm supposed to do.

That scene drove me nuts. I must have missed the subtitles about the barrels and even my friends at work had no idea until we started talking about it or they accidentally found out when they got near a barrel for cover.

That's another big issue, because it's written in the FPS handbook in Chapter 1: DO NOT HIDE BEHIND BARRELS

LOL

Yeah, it took me about seven deaths, and 15 minutes before I figured that one out, too. The comment about barrels wasn't lost on me either, and I spent almost each time trying to shoot them, or throw grenades at them, etc.. Accidentally brushed against one and saw "X" come up, and realized what I had to do. So satisfying, at that point.

The only parts about as frustrating for me were getting through the Nova 6 gas (getting hit a time or two will make your haz-mat suit leak and kill you), and trying to get "I Hate Monkeys" achievement. In the latter, I think the guns I had were making it more difficult and I couldn't find a new/better gun.

SP is incredibly easy, at least the portions I played. Doesn't feel nearly as difficult as a previous COD.

MP is ok pending on how many people I play with, can't help but feel completely bored when playing it though. The other night I tried playing Headquarters and I just turned it off half-way through a match because my entire team was going for K/D and not even trying to completely objective.

Since you were big into Bad Company 2 this year, you might still be used to the "teamwork" involved with a MP game. But if you're basically lone wolfing it, especially on Xbox Live, every mode is just basically team deathmatch

Beat the game yesterday and I really enjoyed it. As I said earlier I think this game looks and feels a lot better than MW2 does. I really enjoyed the scene at the end of the credits, made me laugh. Multiplayer is fun so far but can be frustrating at times, I like playing domination but I always find myself playing on "Summit" and I would really like to play somewhere else... Oh and the game soundtrack was very good as well as the sound design, the choppers sound so realistic.

Definitely gotta love the Vietnam-era music. That was one of my favorite things, too--though I could have used more of it. ;)

Don't get so upset because the game sucks... it just a game... It in no way affects you personally. People make mistakes.

Don't get so upset that I've called you on the fact you're judging the game based on its engine. Seriously, actually go and play the damn game and then whine about it, it's so easy to tell when you've never played it.

    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I sort of agree with you on that. I had a telescope - a real hefty thing, although only around 500CHF - that got me so fascinated about the stars and planets. I would stare for hours, amazed that I could see the craters of the moon or the rings of Saturn in "realtime" (quotations because, y'know, speed of light and whatnot). A friend of mine has a telescope like the one mentioned in the review, and the pictures are amazing to look at. But there is something missing for me. I may as well just go to NASA's website and look through their gallery.
    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions

      By +pmrd · Posted

      As opposed to catching bad press because it's the engine's fault? You didn't really think this through did you? lol. The engine has all the tools a dev needs to optimize their game, Epic isn't gonna hold their hand to make sure they use them. Also, Epic isn't forcing anyone to use Lumen, Nanite or super high resolution meshes and textures. Just because Nanite can render meshes with millions of polygons doesn't mean you should use it like that, in fact, Epic recommends you avoid doing that. Most of the stuttering can easily be fixed by cutting down on unique shaders by using master materials and generating a PSO cache and compiling every shader before loading the game and managing what must be loaded and unloaded at runtime, it's up to the developer to set all that up properly.

      I think it depends on what you're looking for to do, and the time you have to spare. With my Dwarf 3, I easily spend 3-4 hour sessions; half an hour driving to an un-light polluted place, another half hour unpacking and setting up the smart scope + tripod for equatorial tracking, then 15 more minutes mucking around with settings and shooting calibration frames, spending a few hours shooting, merging with past photo sessions, etc. It's crazy how time flies and I often get home later than I expected. It's something I still need to set aside a good part of an evening to do, all in all. For one session, where you often need like four for best results when it comes to deep space objects. Even with a smart scope like Dwarf 3, regular non-astro photography is still way more approachable to people getting into photography. I find this is a time consuming niche no matter how I go about it. With practice, I can probably begin cutting time here but I think where smart scopes find their home is among people who love to shoot the night sky but don't have the spare time to go deep with the "navigator level" attunement to the night sky itself in addition to everything else. Having said this, _if_ you have even more time to spend on this hobby, it will probably be even more rewarding to do it more by hand and learn the skies and the details of how it all works.

      I misread the title and thought Teams itself would be redesigned. Imagine having this one as a native WinUI app.
    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame by Sayan Sen Last month Neowin reported on a major issue on Dell systems wherein a bug in its official support tool was leading to endless blue screen of death (BSOD) and restarts. Following our report, Dell officially acknowledged its SupportAssist-related crash issue, confirming that the culprit is not Microsoft's operating system but rather a faulty version of its own remediation software. In a newly published support advisory, Dell stated that version 5.5.16.0 of Dell SupportAssist Remediation and Alienware SupportAssist Remediation can trigger blue screen errors and unexpected system restarts. The company notes that the problematic component operates independently of the main SupportAssist application, meaning users should not remove the primary SupportAssist software when troubleshooting the issue. According to Dell, the crashes are linked specifically to the SupportAssist Remediation service, which is bundled with SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools, and as such it has since released an updated version, 5.5.16.1, which is said to resolve the problem. Affected users are advised to first verify whether version 5.5.16.0 is installed by checking the Installed Apps section in Windows Settings. If so, Dell recommends updating SupportAssist OS Recovery Tools through either SupportAssist's "Update Software" feature or Dell Command Update. Dell also advises users to back up important data before performing the update and to ensure systems remain connected to power throughout the installation process. If you are still having issues though make sure to report to the Dell support forum. As it turns out though Dell is not the only PC maker currently dealing with update-related headaches as HP is also facing a separate but probably equally frustrating issue involving recent Windows Secure Boot updates that were released with recent Windows 11 Patch Tuesdays. Similar to Dell, HP also put up its own support article where it explains the issue. The company says that affected devices could hit a brick wall when booting as they run into a BitLocker recovery loop after the April 2026 updates. The problem appears to affect systems wherein the new UEFI Secure Boot CA 2023 certificates fail to apply properly. As such affected users will find themselves entering their recovery key over and over again despite the system otherwise functioning normally. HP says such PCs should be updated to the latest available BIOS version and configured with the necessary Secure Boot certificates before installing Microsoft's Windows 11 Patch Tuesday updates. Systems that are already experiencing the problem may require BIOS configuration changes to restore normal boot behavior. Admins can find information regarding that in the support article here on HP's official website.
