I just encountered the worst spawning ever.

Playing Demolition on Radiation and my whole team kept on spawning in one area and the other team was just standing there gunning us down constantly. I just turned off the PS3 before I threw the controller at the TV.

I've had enough of Black Ops now. I have to think twice whether I want to play it or not. It's the worst Call of Duty game in the series.

Just had another spawn ambush on Firing Range and Havana. Dying 1 second after spawning.

A few days ago I traded Black Ops into Amazon for $30 credit on their website. Considering I purchased Black Ops from Amazon for $54.99, and got a $10 or $20 video game credit (I forget which one), I would say that is a pretty fair deal indeed, much better then Gamestop. They emailed me a label to ship it through UPS, so they paid for the shipping back, and from the time I shipped it to the time I got the email about having the credit took 5 days total, and I shipped two days after Christmas, December 27th, so that is pretty impressive for sure. I also traded in Halo Reach for $27 andUncharted 2 for $25. All shipped back in the same package. So now I have credit I can use anywhere on their site, not just for video games, etc. So I really may start using their service over Gamestop, no doubt about it.

Yeah, it sucks. It's nothing new though. It was an issue in MW2 during demolition games as well since the spawn zone never changed. I'd literally spawn on claymores, and in between opponents tactical insertions. And if I managed to make it through the claymores and spray, someone would call in a harrier on us. It was 100 times worse when the care package glitch was still around.

That connection error sign makes me want to plant my controller right in the middle of my playstation, they need to sort these problems out once and for all.

For me, it's the spawning that really makes me want to do that. After I respawn, they always spawn/are behind me. You have no idea how many times I've died by being shot in the back tonight. It's ridiculous.

I've just realised something.

I've been watching a lot of commentator videos on YouTube and I'm positive console weapons to a lot more damage than the PC ones.

Nah they don't, its because theater is a lying little bitch, if you watch the same match a couple of times it will be slightly different each time when using theater.

I hope you weren't capturing bases because you were trying to record something.

Look at the score - none of my team were capturing bases so I just gave up and tried to get me some kills.

Also, I've just lost about 15k credits because of a bug. It's like the bug which doesn't save classes except this time I didn't just get reset back to my credits minus purchases..I lost the credits too :x

New video - Domination Nuketown again..testing out the Stoner. Seems good - might be awesome with extended ammo and reflex sight.

Sorry. I was just a bit bitter over a recent game. I was playing demo and I was trying to get the team together at the last bomb site. One guy/kid told me that I wasn't his coach and that he would "cut me" if I showed up in his neighborhood. Seems like a perfectly sane response to my "coaching".....

Back to your post - I don't think I've ever used the death machine.

    • 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.
