Youre assuming everyone celebrates christmas and everyone is doing it on the 25th :p

We always do it on the 24th in my country, dont ask me why.

Based off this video you really should be using Flack Jacket as two of your 3(?) deaths were by grenades and Flack Jacket practically makes you a Demi-God when it comes to explosives and you really weren't sprinting around enough to warrant Lightweight IMO. Cool video none the less, I don't know how you do so well in Jungle I friggin hate that map!

Worst map of the game.

No. That would be Nuketown. Small, crap map jammed with random grenades and spray-and-pray kids.

When I play on my friends 360, I don't mind playing the map. Anytime Jungle comes up I hate it. Hard to see the people and you get shot at from the most randomest points.

I don't like Nuketown so much because I don't like playing any of the levels twice. And that one always gets played twice.

I enjoy tossing both my Willy Pete's onto the cliff where the Snipers hang on Jungle. They either die a slow and satisfying death or get shot by me as they jump out of it. :p

I love Nuketown, its quick, keeps you alert and on your toes.. Plus its awesome getting a napalm strike or helicopter, so many more kills! If you dont like the level, i imagine its because you're constantly getting killed ;) Well if you cant handle the heat!

That's funny. When someone likes Nuketown, I figure it's because they don't like to think while they play.

I like it because it is a vastly different then the other maps. Sort of reminds my of Quake Team Arena. Massive run and gun, very hard to camp so everyone is in the fight. But that is for FFA, any other game type I think it is too small.

I hate it and love it at the some time.

I hate people getting chopper gunners and other heli's. Where many people quit, I decided to gut it out and ended a game with 108 DEATHS and 40 KILLS.

That's my biggest issue with it. It's way too small for most game types. I play demolition a lot. The one bomb site is so close to the other team's spawn that they could sneeze on it. It's hard to play, especially when half of your team is playing demo like it's deathmatch and not even bothering with the bomb. Such is life on a console I guess.

I'm maxed out on xp and the temptation to prestige is strong even though I worked for ages to get my fave perks pro'd :(

I went prestige level 1 thinking you would get 5 new custom classes, you only get 1 new :p

No way Im doing 7 prestige levels to get 5 custom classes :(

+1

With the broken respawn in BO Nuketown is just a mess

Kill person, person respawns right next to you lol

Connection has been horrendous today. There wasn't a single match that didn't had a lagasm, and a fair few had the host disconnecting and all sorts. It's either the Christmas rush, or they've put up an update and it's ruined things even more.

This is 360 BTW.

Quick question for the 360 users: I inserted Black Ops to try and install it to my hard drive, but no option to install it appears. Is it not possible or something?

You should have the disc in and then on the dashboard. I believe it's 'Y' that will prompt the install to HD.

Yes, sorry, I meant I tried that. But I doesn't give me the option to install it, just play. (I like installing all games I play frequently to avoid any potential scratching.)

Do you already have it installed then? It won't show if it's installed already.

Nope. I got it for Christmas and hadn't even played it yet. I went in and downloaded the update since it wasn't available to install, then exited out and tried to install again with the update -- still no luck.

Huh, that's strange. Are you able to install other games to your HDD?

    • 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.

      As opposed to catching bad press because it's the engine's fault? You didn't really think this through did you? lol

      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.
