So, my rank got restored :D I think my challenges were still reset though, never mind, more Exp for me :D

Also these weapon guide videos are really well done, I recommend watching them.

Eh?

Highest settings available = well over 60fps avg for me in SP/MP. Sure you've tried disabling v-sync?

I've done everything. The game constantly stutters and is generally unplayable for me. Even at 800x600. I've customised settings within the config files and everything.

I finally reached a K/D ratio of 1.95. My next goal is 2.0 and it'll be hard to reach it. I have 30,000+ kills and my friends, whom I normally play with, have stopped playing the game for awhile because of exams. It's really hard to play with random people who rarely use their mics to communicate. I tend to play a little competitively and I try my best to help out my team by calling out the locations of enemies. Unfortunately, very few return the favour.

So I see Activision is finally trying to extort another $15 from PC users - I guess this is where I jump off the bandwagon. Not a bad $45 spent! :p

They charge for the map packs on the PC?

lol.

They did the same with Modern Warfare 2. The Variety map pack for Call of Duty 4 was free, but it was "sponsored" by NVIDIA.

Glad that happened with CoD4, because the maps included with that are great. I did end up buying both packs for MW2 (One when it was on sale mind) but won't be buying any for this game.

Back to the game, I've never used the flamethrower attachment. Actually, I don't think I've ever been killed by it either, or even seen it. How well does it work?

EDIT: Thanks for the clarification on "Dolphin Divers." Again, the act of running and then jumping to a prone position is a legitimate tactic.

I too I have rarely seen the flamethrower, other than when contracts call for its completion

Those weapon guides are really good, I was using the spaz-12 and the perks he recommended last night and it was really effective. I ended up with 47 Kills on Havana during a game of HQ.

So I guess I have been under a rock to just find out yesterday that another Map Pack is being released on Tuesday June 28th

http://www.gamesradar.com/xbox360/call-of-duty-black-ops/news/treyarch-teases-black-ops-annihilation-map-pack-with-new-trailer/a-2011061717834112026/g-20100430155437473001

Here's the behind-the-scenes trailer for the pack, which makes its XBL debut on June 28 with day-one downloaders treated to a double-XP weekend starting July 1. The trailer offers a few location-specific tips for the new multiplayer maps ? Hangar 18, Silo, Hazard and Drive-In ? and a look at Shangri-La, the new Zombies map which injects Night of the Living Dead into that other 60s obsession: mystical old Eastern stuff. Basically, it's a tightly-wound cornucopia of 60s oddity, held together with the ability to stab people in the gut for fun. If that notion doesn't hold anything new for you, you may actually be Charles Manson... in which case, your presence on our site is both flattering and terrifying.

Prob going to skip this as I dont know how much longer I will be playing Black Ops...

I personally like black ops much more than mw2. Interesting enough I bought all map packs for mw2, and none for black ops. The maps in black ops are horrible, defiantly not worth 15 dollars, coupled with the lag i refuse to buy map packs for a game that runs like it isnt finished. Buying the map packs says "you done good treyarch, I will support you" I am not giving them that message.

I disagree. While the first map pack release was only pretty damn good, the second is really quite AMAZING. Zoo and Stockpile are particularly fantastic. I recommend you look at that one if you're serious about MP.

But then again I play a ton of MP, so it's really cheap entertainment to me.

I'll keep that in mind, I feel I do play quite a bit of it, have about 30,000 kills (at least i think thats alot lol)

    • I think it depends on what you're looking for to do; get an innate understanding of the night sky or a "quicker" path to astrophotography end results. I put "quicker" in quotes because with my Dwarf 3, I easily spend 3-4 hour sessions, half an hour driving to an un-light polluted place, setting up the smart scope + tripod for equatorial tracking, spending a few hours shooting, merging photo sessions, etc. It's something I still need to set aside a good part of an evening to do, all in all. 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.
    • 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 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.
    • Getting further away from the artistic study of mental disease that was the first game... (which never needed any sequels to begin with) But I get it, a company has to make money. And the second was at least visually impressive, if not in any other way.
    • If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
