I dont remember that. If it was like that before I probably just changed something around to fix some other problem. Will see what I can do. Is there any other existing sound that might work better as a voice notification? Something short along the lines of the 'take no prisoners' or 'lets do this' dialogs at the beginning of the match? But shame on you for playing games when you are supposed to be working.

Do you have a vid?

Thanks for the suggestions. I remember the names of all of those but cannot recall what all of them are. rd3 is another. But its a pretty big map. edit: Yup I see a few good suggestions there. However a few are also not compatible with the mod due to 'out of memory' errors. Often many big maps just have too much in the way of complex terrain that take up a lot of memory. That or also some complex custom models. Or I should say, the max memory the game engine can handle for something designed in 2007.

Trees are good for the environment. They are also good because the enemy can sneak up on you and go "boo!" if you arent careful. Not everything has to take place in the desert or grass. "Sorry sarge, theres too many trees here. Lets go fight somewhere else." SMACK!!!!

Is that the one where one side all spawns inside of the building? If so thats a map problem because it only includes a single spawn. Likely for TDM or other non-ftag games where you cant get stuck in it. However, I am pretty sure at one time an addition was included in the mod that moved that spawn point outside after the map was loaded. So it would balance out both sides with everybody spawning in the open. In any case, a map I was messing around with for a best of 5 victory requirement is agx contra. A nicely done map but certainly large and not so much CQ but could work for a short match.

Pretty tough to get a unique and successful FPS game these days. Best of luck on the project.

I already know my vision sucks. No need to test it.

Forgot to add to above.... One of the maps I was asked about was monastery. If its the one I have here, its big and its dark. So not in tune with the kind of mayhem seen in the typical rotation maps. But could be one of the maps that the above scenario (best 3 out of 5) would work well with. Something out of the mainstream.... since 'mainstream' seems to be a bad thing these days... that would be fun in smaller doses.

Ok everyone. Small addition to the above. The first map in the current rotation is now Breakout v2. However the number of rounds is best 3 out of 5. Not the standard 5 out of 9 for all other maps. That means, at worst with 5 full rounds + overtime and time limit expired, it will take 40 minutes. For the future, this can be a consideration for including a new map here and there that would always go the full 9 rounds and take forever to complete without it being very much fun. Short periods of different kinds of maps for variety but not so much as to be boring.

Lovely spam..... wonderful spam.....

Perhaps in the near future. Working on a couple things first.

Probably less because everyone would throw grenade spam. Which is what people did on those 30-player matches. iirc it didnt have spawn protection. But I suppose it would be fun to see just for shits and giggles. edit: This would be mayhem. Throw in spawn protection with invisible players running around and who knows. Oh and dont forget... three streaks.

A thought.... If you get hit with a stun grenade you are limited to cod4 default style jumping and speed for 30 seconds. Meaning speed and jumping as it was meant to be. Those of you that actually still play cod4 with standard settings know what I am talking about. Let all the 'hell no' comments begin.

If it aint broke dont fix it. Win10 does have a few things Win7 doesnt that I would like to have but not yet.

Interesting tho. Maybe both IW and Treyarch are getting into the modding scene again like they did with cod4 and 5. Now that would be news.

Yea those are basically UT style arena maps. But the most chaotic map I have ever seen in cod4 was 30 players in Shipment. Wont work for ftag tho because of the need to defrost. Unless........ Thrown into the ftag rotation mix are a few maps with 10-15 minutes of TDM.

Havent figured it out yet but the 960 is supposed to have hardware encoding of h265. edit: NM, got it. Duh.

If the case has good airflow, yea that should be good. Dont go cheap on the fans tho if you want low noise.

I agree price aside I would go with samsung. You do get what you pay for.

I also recommend to later get an inexpensive sound card if you listen to a lot of good music (meaning not Taylor Swift) and have a good pair of headphones/headset. Onboard is decent but even a low cost card is better. I think mb audio... and the software... these days is tuned for gaming not so much for music. asus dgx pcie would be a good inexpensive choice if you primarily use headphones for music like I do. When I was investigating new parts a few months ago I had no idea the size of some of the monster air coolers out there. Im not an expert on cooling but if you plan any overclocking or lots of processing under load.... %80+ cpu... then that one likely wont be enough. Or the single fan will run so fast that it will sound like a turbine. So far I like my corsair water cooler but it was a bitch to install into the case correctly otherwise it would block important mb connections. Every second I thought I was going to break it and spill coolant everywhere. However the rear fan wont work at the moment because the hoses interfere with it.

Just use dirty language?

I got the black drive for the 5 year warranty as much for as the performance. The typical 2 year warranty these days just seems too short and suggests that after two years the failure rate goes up.

Maybe better cooling if you are going to do gaming. amd runs hot and will start throttling at 60c.

ambient occlusion I think. Pretty sure there are ways to stop that, to one degree or another, by messing with the actual smoke fx. But only mods can do that of course. Still, I am quite certain that everyone here plays fairly and doesnt use such trickery to gain an advantage. Like not using lag binds. Riiiiight?

The one thing I would add to that is more ram. 8gb isnt going to cut it. 2x8 for 16 to start. Later you can get two more to max it out to 32 if needed.
