"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!

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By eiffel_g · Posted

      Funny, but I didn't had the issue. All PC's at work are Dell and we had the culprit version of Support Assist for about 2 weeks until we got the new one. No problem at all. And for checking you can also use Dell Command Update, no need to search in windows settings. Just check the Upgrade History.

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

      So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
