"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!

    • iOS 27 & Apple Intelligence. Many iPhones become obsolete, right?

      By kiddingguy · Posted

      Have I understood it correctly that iOS 27 is an Apple Intelligence party only? Thus only for iPhone 15 Pro and higher, and especially even beter for last years iPhone? So basically all iPhone 14 and earlier become obsolete and cannot be used with Apple Intelligence and/or SirI AI?

    • macOS ‘Golden Gate' unveiled with standalone Siri app, performance improvements and more

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      macOS ‘Golden Gate' unveiled with standalone Siri app, performance improvements and more by Hamid Ganji After months of rumors about Apple’s latest software updates, the company unveiled macOS 27 at the 2026 Worldwide Developers Conference. macOS 27 isn’t a major departure from the previous version; instead, it focuses on refining the user experience and fixing some of the annoying bugs users have reported over the past year. The new macOS 27 is named Golden Gate. When it comes to the list of new features, you should not expect a long one, as Apple has followed the Snow Leopard playbook from 2009 with macOS 27. First, the Liquid Glass interface isn’t gone; it's been updated to improve readability. It gets a new slider in settings to adjust Liquid Glass, letting you go from ultra-clear to fully tinted with ease. App icons also get an additional layer of Liquid Glass to look sharper. Smoother system animations, faster content loading, and a similar corner radius for windows are other improvements for macOS 27. With iOS 27, Apple released a standalone Siri app for iPhone users, and the app is also coming to Macs with the latest update. The all-new Siri AI app features a chatbot-style interface and aims to compete with Google’s Gemini and OpenAI’s ChatGPT. It supports both text and voice prompts and provides users with access to previous conversations for reference. The Siri app can also perform a wide range of tasks, including on-device search, image generation, information summarization, and more. Users can also rely on Siri for personal context. Siri is integrated with various apps, allowing users to complete tasks with a single prompt. With the screen awareness capability, you can ask Siri about locations and images on your screen. Which devices won’t get macOS 27? If you’re still using an Intel-powered Mac, we have bad news for you. macOS 27 is only compatible with Apple Silicon chips and drops support for Intel-based Macs. Here’s a list of devices that won’t be compatible with macOS 27: Mac Pro (2019) 16-inch MacBook Pro (2019) 27-inch iMac (2020) 13-inch MacBook Pro (2020) When can you get macOS 27? Apple developers can now access the first beta of macOS 27. However, the first public beta is expected to be released sometime next month. Users will have to wait until this fall for the stable version of macOS 27.

      Who wants to pay higher prices for the same 6+ year hardware in a new shell? This is hardware where things change fast and improve continuously. They could update w/ quicker/more efficient compute, faster storage, new controllers with new features (not a shell/design update), which are all realistic possibilities. They've done mid-generation console updates, but all we've had for Series X/S are not just different configuration updates (storage / digital versions / console aesthetics). Instead they've prioritized acquisitions, increasing prices, and have lost quite bit of their fan base because of lack of vision.
    • LibreOffice developer takes a dig at Euro-Office in new open letter

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      LibreOffice developer takes a dig at Euro-Office in new open letter by Usama Jawad LibreOffice maintainer The Document Foundation (TDF) has often criticized Microsoft for popularizing the OOXML standard for documents instead of the truly open-source OpenDocument Format (ODF). It has also bashed the Redmond tech giant for putting its own commercial interests over everything else. Now, it has switched targets a bit to aim its sights at the Euro-Office suite launching tomorrow. For those unaware, Euro-Office is a direct fork of OnlyOffice. It is being marketed as an open-source "European sovereign alternative" to proprietary services like Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. It is being developed by a coalition of European companies including Nextcloud, IONOS, and Tuta. However, TDF has disagreed with this marketing classification in an open letter, saying that it is not the first open-source office suite being developed in Europe, as that honor belongs to OpenOffice.org, back in 2001. In a snide remark, it has emphasized that it feels "compelled" to clarify this because open-source initiatives should highlight transparency, not deception. It has stated that OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice are the only two "genuine" office suites with codebases in Europe, indicating that Euro-Office is a freeware clone of Microsoft Office that has rebranded itself to masquerade as a symbol of digital sovereignty. TDF has also remarked on the fact that those that are championing digital sovereignty now were very dismissive of LibreOffice and ODF a couple of decades ago: The LibreOffice has once again called out Microsoft for its "horrible" OOXML standard which locks in customers. Euro-Office also leverages this OOXML format, which effectively makes it an ally of Microsoft, according to LibreOffice. That said, it is unlikely if TDF's strong words will have any impact on the adoption or marketing of Euro-Office.
