I'll just say this. after a long play I think 3 things..

1. Second Chance/Second Chance Pro is WAY overpowered.. It's getting annoying because you get 3 people on the other team wearing that perk and it completely kills the game because it seems they can take more bullet damage with Second chance and then they fall on the ground and still have the pistol.. You have to lose the whole clip on 1 person to kill them and if there's another guy standing next to him you have zero chance.

2. They need to adjust the AK74 it's ridiculously overpowered. It's the best weapon in the game and if you combine it with Lightweight/Marathon Pro you are pretty much unstoppable.

3. They nerfed the commando for no reason.. That blows.

ya I do uselly 6 people I team with all the time.. we call are spawn kills all the time.. its great fun making other fustrated...

oh stock pilling choppers is a great sport to. Gunship,Hewie, Attak chopper. once one team mate is empty we let another one unlesh... once we get going were on a roll, its nothing but chopper spawns.. one after another..

You would not bealive how many people run without Ghost Pro.

this is before camping, when I was doing my challanges

I won't think you're good until you prestige. So the fact you're K/D is not even a 2.0 and you've probably been whoring a level 50 for weeks now is just pathetic.

way better then the ps3/Xbox version.

and having played the Xbox/pc Verion, Mouse and keyboard rule.. and having dedicatied server kick ass over the console p2p network. also this alowse for better ping witch is nesseery for higher hit rates.

No friend / squad match making at all though. That blows.

I got COD for the PS3. It is really the first call of duty game I have played and love.

I currently love the following levels in order...

-nuketown

-firing range

-jungle

-havana

-crisis

all the rest suck

One thing i can't stand about the other suck ass levels is that i waste half the time looking for people to take out. Every other game I find two or three dood camping out in a corner or boxing themselves into a building. There is no fun at all in that.

Nuketown is the best because you can throw a grenade at anytime and can actually hit someone alot. Once you get to a level 30 or 40 with better weapons these levels become alot of fun to play.

I am currently in love with the spectre with suppressor and rapid fire attachments.... I let a pal play the other day, and he was running and gunning without aiming, and surprisingly the spectre is excellent at killing people who take that second to aim through their scopes.

theirs a friends list on the pc as well as able to switch sides and stalk pile teams as well

also for clan wars its even easier on the pc. all you have to do is fine there server in the list and away you go.. if its really all planed out before hand it would be a server that temperately set up with a password as well so only clan members and the opposing clan can get it. it comes down to total customization and control. more then u can do on the console side.

also I been lvl 50 since 3 days after release.. and no I still don;t bealive in persiting in any call of duty title...

BTW my Ratio is over 2.00 now.. that shot was a older shot. the one in my video at the end shows 2.00 on the dot. Im currently sitting at 2.02 kd right now.

I put 400+ hours in MW2 and never presigtige once

and I alwazs use ghost pro for the main reason I don't alwazs play with my clan when I only.. depending on the time (if clan mates are on or not) or what mood I'm in I go solo on a random server.. ITs alwazs good to have for a back when ya really not working with some one.

Played through and beat the campaign in a couple of days on normal. The storyline is much better than Modern Warfare 2 or World at War, as was the level design. It still just didn't seem as good, overall, as the first two Call of Duty games and the first Modern Warfare. It just feels like it's been toned down so much (I mean that if it were a film, it's now more of a summer blockbuster than an actually good flick... similar to the Halo games, IMO). Still have to go through again on Veteran and play online, though.

but since u ether missed it or didn't watch the video here's the picture I included at the time of frapping my replys.

9% accuracy? That's terrible. I thought I was doing bad since I'm only at 22% and, in the other games, I hovered around 26 - 27%.

LOL you should read his other posts. He pretty much has to camp to have a decent K/D (and even admitted to it) so his low accuracy doesn't surprise me :D.

Dang, the population of Black Ops has taken a big dump. I remember playing with 3 million others back in November. Now I see about 380k or less every day.

I just thought of that before. Though now the game is swamped with noobs who got the game for Christmas, and I always seem to be on a team exclusively with level 30 and under. Not that they're bad, but the majority of the time they're not as good as the other team that has more experiences players.

I'll say it again about the CoD franchise, same **** different title.

The same could be said about Halo, honestly. Which is why I'm glad that's getting handed off to another developer.

I hope the new Call of Duty teams actually advance the franchise.

    • 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

      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.
