I think it's going to be Battlefield for me, they're building it for PC and it looks like a 2011 game. Immersive, realistic and large online multiplayer. MW3 on the other hand looks ridiculous, like a 2008 game (I'm guessing this is still using the CoD 4 engine) and would be a console port.

Both look fun to play though.

I personally hate how BF fans are slating MW3 and praising BF3 even though they've played neither and neither is anywhere near finished :/

------

Anyways, going to purchase both for Xbox 360.

I wouldn't call it slating really - more like a distinct lack of optimism in new games in the franchise. Nothing new has really been done since COD4, and even the most die hard fans are starting to realise that. MW3 might turn out to be a fantastic game, but I think most are disollusioned by BLOPS and MW2.

Both, I see no reason to limit myself to one.

I don't know who are buying their games full price these days either, especially when it comes to CoD, I have bought the last 3 CoD games on release night cheaper than pretty much all other new games in the last few years.

I have a feeling that even although the COD hype cycle hits ever year (OMG POS FRANCHISE... okay bought.... it's good!... OMG BROKEN PIECE OF UNFAIR POS, BOYCOTTING, and repeat), MW3 will end up being a really good MP game, and the one everyone will be playing.

That said, BF3 will also be really good.

So I'll just wait and see how it pans out, absolutely no point to pledge allegiances just now.

The hype cycle in my experience was - OMG a new COD it's gonna be so awesome, everyone get it! Then everyone (including me) gets it and half if not more are incredibly disappointed. - And it ends there. Battlefield games have a lasting player base because (in my experience) they have much better game play.

This ^^

I'm not going to pay $60 for another crappy console port, that looks like it time warped from 2008. I will on the other hand gladly hand over $60 for a real 2011 PC game, such as BF3. In fact I may pre-order it from EA's store. I haven't decided yet.

I may get MW3 when it hits the bargain bin on steam or something, but it's definitely not a must have IMO.

This. Even though I'll be playing on XBL + Xbox 360.

I responded both, although I have made it pretty clear on these forums I much prefer the Battlefield series, I am a gamer at the end of the day, and as such I will experience both.

Me too, and for the same reasons. (Y)

I'm confused why people want MW3 for multiplayer and single player for BF3. Battlefield has always focused more on multiplayer than SP so I'm quite surprised about that. With my experience with CoD games, they are more of a frag fest than anything. People running around with 2 knifes, jumping through windows and killing people and stuff like that. With playing both MW2 and Black Ops, Battlefield 2 and BFBC2 feel much better games (though, I prefer BC2 more). The huge maps, the vehicles. And the one thing people are forgetting about BF3 multiplayer, 64 player servers! <3

BF3 on PC for sure, even bought new hardware for it already. Pre-ordered when was announced and sucks having to wait so long but surely will be worth it.

MW3 is just going be snorefest of the same old everything that was in MW, MW2 with more utter rubbish layered on top that people play then makes those people think they have a valid informed opinion about guns and functioning of the military and special forces.

    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      By RejZoR · Posted

      Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By ExecutiveFunction404 · Posted

      This got me thinking, would you rather a self driving car prioritise protecting its passengers or everyone else? I'd choose the one that keeps me and my kids safest. At some point, these cars have to make those choices already, don't they? Wonder if we have a way to find out what way they lean.

      The proportion (or number of iterations) has nothing to with this aspect of Copyright I am describing. In short, it doesn't matter how many times the manager tells you to change something or how. Your work product is always YOURS until and unless you then assign that to the person representing the client/company, usually for financial compensation -- either in salary or as a subcontract work for hire payment. if iterations determined copyright, then businesses would have learned to just keep making changes until they could claim they owned the copyright, without having to compensate the artist for their work. And that would be BAD. The only place where the amount of changes does have a role is in how much does a human modify a previous public domain work (from any source) before it is considered fair use or their own work, etc. For example, if a human makes substantial changes to a public domain (re: AI, by definition) work, then they can then claim that derivative work as their own...but NEVER the original version, of course. That's why anyone can make a movie about Dracula, for example, as long as it is based on the public domain novel, but not if they take new ideas from copyrighted movies made afterwards. As one of the people who personally advised the US Copyright Office on their recent ruling on these very issues, be assured that I specifically used the terminology precisely -- though I made it simple enough for laymen to understand it. If I made this confusing by doing so, I apologize. But, to be clear regarding your assumption that I would agree to your second statement that I quoted above -- the answer is NO. If AI does the work, no matter how much "direction" you give it, it cannot be copyrighted. All AI generated content is in the Public Domain and therefore the copyright cannot be assigned to ANYONE, even you -- until and unless substantial modifications are made to it BY A HUMAN BEING (yourself or a contracted artist/writer/etc.) and then that copyright on the derivative work is legally (in writing) transferred to you. This is a critical distinction. And it is important that people, especially AI sloppers, understand this. For example, YouTube is not paying AI slop generators for the copyright, etc. of their AI slop. What YouTube is doing is sharing AD REVENUE for permission to publish your AI slop. Copyright/ownership/rights never come into it. Importantly, that means that anyone can copy any AI slopware on YouTube, etc. and rehost it anywhere they want, even back on YouTube, and there is nothing legal that YouTube can do about it with regards to copyright protections, ownership, DMCA, etc. Anyone is legally free to use any AI slopware in any way they want. When this ruling was pending, I warned Disney legal of all of this before they did their OpenAI deal -- that it would literally dilute their entire IP portfolio forever. They ignored that warning for the PR and stock bump. But that is why, when the ruling came down last year, Disney quickly extricated themselves from that OpenAI deal, even eating the initial upfront fees -- followed closely by OpenAI ending their entire AI video generating business model. They adjusted their PR release dates to make this less obvious to shareholders, of course. Phew. I hope that this clears up the key distinctions for you and anyone reading. If you have any additional questions or even hypotheticals about AI and Copyright, please feel free to ask.
