The game is pretty good. i liked the SP, the way the story was told and the music was good too. :ove the music when you are in the river with the boat. I don't remember the name of that part. I'll keep playing MP until Killzone 3 but man I hate Nuketown.

Cammonda and AUG are my guns of choice.

I still can't decide which one to use.. just unlocked Commando last night. I think I prefer AUG though - it's less recoil and burst faster. Commando is more powerful and somehow reloads faster (I think) but a bit hard to make a kill quickly when facing one on one

LIVE FIXES

11/18

? Improvements to the spawn system to resolve an issue where negative spawn influencers from specific game events were not always being deleted after the danger had cleared ? in some matches, this was causing good spawns to be erroneously flagged by the game as bad spawns, which in turn forced actual bad spawns to get selected later in the match

? Experimental slight reduction in knife lunge range ? this is a trial change

? Prevention of Prestige glitching ? trying to prestige from Combat Training will reset your stats but not give you prestige

That's xbox version at least, that's the newest one after the title update.

I have a server hosted in NY if anybody wants to play along. :) Yesterday it was completely full, today completely empty. It goes back and forth, so strange.

The IP is 66.55.158.128 on port 3084.

Somebody come play with me, I am lonely. :( I do not have any diseases, nor do I even bite.

but I hate that diving thing man it ****es me off a lot.

Worst thing about this game. I'll take my parties constantly breaking up than that ****in RC car. I see it coming and I'm shooting the bitch, but nothing happening. It's so annoying. It's basically a free kill, granted you find someone.

Had multi kill with a semtex/frag only thing left for me to get to snag Warlord Pro. Playing Domination on Crisis(beach one), we spawned on A and so buddy and I rushed C to take it, there whole squad left the same way and one cooked semtex later. 6 Semtex kills. It was awesome.

Guess I need to do the upload to youtube ****, cuz it was pretty was awesome.

Whilst the SP was a joke and ****ty (as expected with COD games now, imo) really enjoying the MP. Something I didn't think I would be doing.

Noob Tube. Real easy to kill them. When ever I get notified one is in my area I switch to it and kill it 9 times out of 10. Very effective. Plus the tube is very effective in clearing out buildings and campers.

I luv Summit in Domination, i keep pwning these guys, I'm on 28 now, but I hate that diving thing man it ****es me off a lot.

If you want points, play HQ. With a good group of guys we were pulling 4-5K points each a game. Black Ops really gives incentive to actually play HQ and not just try and rack up kills. We had a party of 5 guys and every game the other team would just try and get kills and end up with very little points and we would play HQ how it was supposed to be played and end up with a ton of points. Plus HQ does not tally KDR so to not actually play is useless. I have about 4 hours of play time and am level 31.

Noob tube is even more efficient at clearing out run & gunners, sometimes 3-4 at a time. w00t.gif

I have to agree with you there. They said they nerfed it but I found it is fantastic. You can not use it for the first 10 seconds of the game so no more spawn tubing and you can not scavenge rounds for it so you only get two. Regardless though it is very accurate. The Flak vest perk kills it though but I haven't found many that use it.

The diving thing needs clarifying, imo.

Diving to prone is when you're sprinting and press the change stance button twice - this involves a delay before you can shoot.

Dropshotting is when you're stationary or moving slowly and you press the change stance button - this has no delay in shooting and you can get a lot of accuracy straightaway due to the prone position accuracy.

I'm getting into the habit of swinging my shots down automatically to get dropshottings, diving to prone'rs and also Second Chancers.

I came across my second definite cheat today :/

I have been doing this as well and been scoring allot of head-shots because of it. They dive right into the path of my bullets. Works well. If you get in to the habit to start shooting then swing down it pretty much eliminates the drop shot. Well the nube-toob does as well ;)

I thought I wasn't lunging as far as I usually do when I knife someone. Would explain all the deaths I've had from trying to knife.

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

      By Malisk · Posted

      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.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory

      By Case_f · Posted

      Getting further away from the artistic study of mental disease that was the first game... (which never needed any sequels to begin with) But I get it, a company has to make money. And the second was at least visually impressive, if not in any other way.
    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions

      If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
