Is this the 1.46 server? If so yea there are some server issues right now that will be worked on in the future. It wont work except with small maps. Obviously even Creek is too big it seems because it does have a quite a bit of extra models and fx. I havent had the time to find other small maps that will work but will do the best I can.

Please no Hayden whatshisname. Even as a ghost.

1: Snatch and Grab. 2: Too much for the game to handle. 3: Why? Get scavenger. 4: in 1.46 airdrops will no longer be required except for care package awards.

Condolences to all.

Condolences to everyone.

Yea I posted the teaser trailer yesterday. Great stuff. Funny tho how a bunch of Star Wars fans arent too happy with the new light saber. edit: Funniest thing about the Lego one is the addition of the square 'blue screen' effect around the x wings.

Going to a Target or Wall-mart... which I dont... I wouldnt bring anything but some cash. I wouldnt let my cc near them and their non-existent cyber security.

Saw that one last night on youtube. Not everyone can buy online. Also, not everyone has a credit card. Or at least a card that isnt already piled on with debt. In which case they shouldnt be out shopping anyways. But yea its not worth it to save a few bucks because the likelihood you are going to get that $100 flat screen is next to nothing unless you are ready to beat the shit out of your competitors.

I saw the first trailer for Jurassic World and it looks ok. Kind of how the first was at "Disneyland" and this is "Disneyworld". However I am hoping they make this purely for adults. I read the book a year or two before the movie and while the movie was plenty scary I didnt like how they played down the whole theme on the morality of playing God. But I suppose that would be over the heads of an audience that just wanted to see dinosaurs with some good frights. Certainly the teenage crowd.

Not supposed to be anyways. I have seen a couple sniper vids taken in Iraq for example. The sniper was having a good time picking off Iraqi's as tho he was playing a video game. But no idea if he was an actual soldier or one of the hired mercenaries the US seems to employ these days. If I did it, this would be an option not forced. One thing I do is look to find ways to mix things up a bit more. One of the things the RO2 developers said that stuck with me is that there arent enough 'oh shit' moments in cod. Some things are too predictable. OW based mods have a 'weapon jam' option that fits this idea. When it happens you have to take one or two seconds to clear it. Another is that there is a small chance that knifing a sentrygun will actually cause it to explode, killing you. Like the optional 'quick defuse' for S&D.

True but isnt that part of battle? You never actually know how many of the enemy you are facing?

One year to go....

I would say no it doesnt because it looks more like an ad.

It would be unusual that trees are solid, except for parts closer to the ground, unless the mapper includes additional blocking volumes. If things are blocked they are not by trees but invisible cubes surrounding them. Same as players. If you get a headshot its not the head. Its the invisible cube surrounding the head.

Other shit? Such as? After all, even that boondoggle known as the F-35 isnt going to be invincible.

I would be an addition. It makes sense to put it under stealth. However that perk is already pretty powerful even tho this idea would be ftag specific and tdm games wouldnt benefit from it. So the idea would require some thought on where to add it. I forget the name of it but there is some kind of 'tactical' perk in later games and it would work there.

Giving one more week for opinions on leaving the defrost air support bug alone or adding the AI defroster uav. So far I have one each. In the case of ties it will stay as it is and I will do what the big publishers do and call it a 'feature'. Right now, after more time using it, I think the defroster uav is really cool. A whole lot of OW2 players make many posts here but never on what they would actually want to see in it. Hint. Of course like all uavs it can be shot down with sams. I like the idea of a shoulder fired stinger but to add it I will have to take out a custom weapon to make room and revert it to a stock one. Yes one of the weapons I would have in mind for something like that is the G3. I did like that one even tho I wasnt very good at it. Would people be happy to leave out the custom Uzi or MP5, but maybe using a new skin instead, be ok with that? There was a short post on the OW website today and it made me think of an optional server setting I am going to add. What if nobody actually knew how many of the enemy were frozen? This is common in objective games and certainly more realistic. Not that freezetag is in any way realistic. It would also make for an interesting perk addition where you dont count towards the number frozen. You would appear on the scoreboard and team count as unfrozen. If two or three of the enemy had it you would never see just one left.

Happy Thanksgiving! Just here enjoying my early afternoon rum and cream strawberry daiquiri before I go make the apple pie. Yes lots of rum. Best way I know how to give thanks to the first Pilgrims even tho they didnt partake in alcohol.

If you are talking about the mw2 mod yea its because you're on a Mac. Unfortunately the Mac version of the game doesnt support mp3s and in the mod the killstreak messages were made as mp3s to save space. The Mac version uses mp4 or one of the Apple codecs probably because the publisher didnt want to pay for the mp3 license fees. Also why cod5 and later doesnt use mp3 at all. Everything is wav based or I think flac now.

They stopped using PB and didnt provide any advanced notice. Not even sure they released an official statement about it afterwards either but I could have missed it. Yes its a conspiracy theory but business is business.

I had noticed, during testing at home this past week, occasional 3-4 second CI's that always happened during communication with activision. Considering they want to get rid of cod4 entirely I call shenanigans.

If its a Steam game you dont need to worry about the patches and they will do it for you. Just the PB setup files.

The spawn protection was never meant to be used for things like that. I wrote it in because I didnt think it was fair to make players start at the beginning again and it wasnt easy to do. I dont particularly like that players are using it for this reason because its there for defense so you dont get shot without a chance to react. It will be up to all the server admins if they want to deal with this because 1.46 you can stack the streaks and it might make this more of a problem requiring some kind of attention.

I hate how youtube recompresses vids that are already supposed to be compressed correctly but this is a concept test for an AI controlled uav defroster. For the test all friendlies, except for myself, have a timer that will suicide them if alive after a random amount of time has passed. So there are a lot of players to defrost. The timer defroster is immediate also for demonstration purposes but the goal would be a heat source idea like a big flare or fire. I dont know what the kill requirement would be. Would probably depend on the ammo count. So... You have a choice on what will be included in the mod. I can leave the defrost bug for predator and the others or I can fix those bugs and continue working on this instead. Before anyone asks, no it will not have both.

True but if someone is really interested in kills then why bother defrosting? Oh... and keep in mind that you will now be able to save your three streaks. So you can hold onto it until you really need it. Imagine if you have two of them and you were the last player. I would think it would have great appeal.
