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.

    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.

    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.7 / Classic 5.72.7

      Sandboxie Plus 1.17.7 / Classic 5.72.7 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.7 / Classic 5.72.7 release notes: Added added a Global Settings checkbox for ForceBoxDocs under Program Control > Force Process Options Changed disabled rich text acceptance in 'Edit ini Section' baa6968 extended completion system with context-aware filtering, improved INI key resolution, regex updates, and tooltip placement enhancements 6db2a04 Fixed fixed crash in VMware when running inside sandbox caused by NtQueryDirectoryObject hook returning non-null-terminated strings and uninitialized padding bytes in OBJECT_DIRECTORY_INFORMATION structures, which caused QueryDosDeviceW to crash in wcscmp #5390 Add short-name fallback cache and heuristics #5404 fixed addon setup not working introduced in a recent build fixed Starting from version 1.17.4, using the 'Sandbox with Data Protection' type box causes PowerShell to wait indefinitely, while there is no such bug with other types. #5408 fixed Importing encrypted box no longer creates encrypted image in v1.17.6 #5399 fixed EditorSettings fuzzy matching not applied, showing few/no completion entries, and table cell highlighting not updating fixed Error enumerating and deleting folder. #5406 fixed black box import/export when 'ProtectAdminOnly=y' (default) and SandMan does not run as admin Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.3 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Ocenaudio 3.19.2

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.2 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 3.19.2 changelog: Fixes a crash when starting the graphical interface without a display on Linux Fixes MP3 metadata encoding and ID3 tag writing issues on Windows Fixes a crash when loading audio with autosave enabled on Windows user paths containing non-ASCII characters Fixes a freeze when batch-processing more than 5 files with a 64-bit VST plugin Fixes some conditions in audio mixer Fixes loudness statistics for surround files and Short-Term Maximum Loudness accuracy 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
