"This video is not available in your country"

:( Thanks for the info - they don't like my music. Tried it with 'When the levee breaks' by Led Zeppelin, they muted it, tried again with a cover version of the same song, theyve blocked the whole video. The song fitted perfectly, its really hard to find a good song of that length to put to the video. I'll have to keep testing others I guess :-/

Are you mixing the sounds of the game with the music? That normally stops them recognising the track.

I still had the game sounds on but quite quiet compared to the track. Mixing the sounds more is a good suggestion, I'll definitely give it a try, thanks very much! :)

It worked on some F1 2010 tracks I posted.

I just used Audacity to merge the audio from the video and the mp3. It might not work if you have 2 audio sources...

I'm pretty sure loads of people here recommended the Galil but it's crap - stats show more damage than FAMAS but it doesn't feel like that!

I'm using the Galil ATM with a red dot and silencer and it's definitely not as good as the FAMAS, but for some reason I just prefer it.

Ew FN FAL. It's alright, but semi-automatic and a lot of the time I find that I have no chance against someone who has already started firing at me.

Hence why you're always on the look out for targets. ;)

Managed to get the video sorted in original condition using youtube's "dispute" function to dispute their audio block (here's hoping it lasts and they dont change their mind). So here's my first proper attempt at making a video, called "Swords and Sidearms" in wonderful 1080p :D:

Great video, .Vamp. I miss how easy Call of Duty games were on the PC.

Thanks very much :)! Are you playing black ops on a console these days then?

Sights can be a bit gimmicky. Generally Silencers, grips and Dual/Extendo mags are the worth while attachments.

I only use the ever popular red dot sight. If I don't go for that then I'll put on another attachment but no other sights.

I personally prefer the reflex sight over the red dot, mind you I have a class named Captain Stabbin' lol which is a FAMAS with iron sights whistle.gif I'll let you guess the rest... Hopefully no one from neowin encounters me on live while I'm using that class... lol

Hey guys, If you were to recommend BF:BC2, MoH or CoD:BO for multiplayer which one would you shoot for?

I'm wondering about amount of players and longevity of the online community. Don't want to shell out for one and have all the players move on to the next regurgitation.

Hard one. I'd immediately rule out MoH, personally I found it very dull, sluggish and boring.

BC2 is a very good game, and has a great MP community. Same can be said for Black Ops, though the community is probably bigger and a little less mature overall (just my personal observation from playing both). Now, BO could well be the last decent CoD game for a few years, as whoever is taking the next version in 2011 (Sledgehammer I think?) is pretty unknown. I'm not even sure if the next CoD game will be a First Person Shooter. I guess Treyarch may return for the 2012 release but until then things are uncertain with Infinity Ward out of the picture so my gut feeling is this game will be played quite a lot at least until 2012 and probably for a while after unless something unforseen happens.

As for BC2, Battlefield 3 is in development and I think due for release next year, so this could draw a lot of the crowd away from BC2 and into B3.

Both are great games, and have very different playstyles and unique feels to them, so personal preference has to prevail when chosing on fun factor, but hopefully I've given a little helpful info about the future situations!

    • Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience by Aditya Tiwari At WWDC 2026, Apple announced new parental control features for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 to keep kids' device usage in check and keep them safe online. As a parent, you'll get access to a simpler setup experience, Ask to Browse, Time Allowances, and a redesigned Screen Time. You'll be able to pick exactly which apps your child can access on their device, choosing from just a few essential apps, a curated set, or the apps you feel are appropriate. There will be an option to gradually add more apps. Ask to Browse is a new feature that requires kids to request permission before visiting a new website in Safari on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. You can also turn on a setting that requires your kid to ask for approval before connecting with an unknown contact via Messages, FaceTime, or the Phone app. You can manage your child's screen time more effectively with Time Allowances that work across categories, including Games, Entertainment, and Social Media. You can set time limits based on your kid's age and get suggestions informed by expert research. Speaking of expert guidance, Apple added that it's working with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to adapt its Family Media Plan to create a guide parents can refer to when using Apple products. Moreover, the company has also set up a new dedicated website, where you can find tools, resources, and answers to common questions around parental controls and child safety. Apple also allows parents to set daily schedules to manage screen time, configuring access to different apps at different times of the day and across the week. Overall, the Screen Time section has been revamped and provides a bird's-eye view of your kid's average device usage and most-used apps. "For example, to help protect important family moments, parents can quickly limit access during meals, outdoor play, and other times that deserve full attention. If kids need a little extra time to finish something in an app, parents can also easily extend access," Apple said. Apart from these, Communication Safety has been updated to block gore or violent content when detected in shared images or videos. The feature already blurs nudity in Messages and FaceTime calls, and is enabled by default for users under 18.
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      By +Warwagon · Posted

      They already threw the Ultra 1st gen under the bus? It really feels like someone screwed up, and that advanced AI features will only be available on the list above but someone screwed up and said that Watch OS 27 in general will only be available for those models. I think they will pull it back. I did see someone also put a snap shot of their series 9 watch being offered the watch os 27 beta. As the backlash online is already in full swing.

      Right, Google... because that's who this is going to. Google, the company who's entire business model is geared around ad revenue and your personal data.
    • Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups

      That is the natural course for regulations. First to protect the consumer. Then to protect the business/industry from upstart competition. There are countless examples across history.
    • LibreOffice developer takes a dig at Euro-Office in new open letter

      By Ccl Ncc · Posted

      I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
