We've waited 29 years. What a ride it has been. The atmosphere in this city right now is phenomenal.

Looks nice... Why so much on your MB?? I guess what I'm asking is what features does this board provide that others don't. It looks bad ass though...

I disagree. I think an Ipad is perfect for older people. Plus you can get one with 4G so you don't even have to worry about wifi setup/configuration.

Ugh.. take it to someone who can do it for you. Or find one of us here to help you remotely. You are one of those users that know just enough to fuck everything up on your machine (no offense). Always be weary of system booster/reg cleaners/performance enhancing applications. Downgrading to 8.1?? If you talk to anyone who's been in the IT industry for a while, you will find that 8.1 is actually pretty good; but you have to be able to accept a bit of change. My advice would be to reload; whether it be Win7 or Win 8.1. And next time, setup restore points... gl hf

NO to the 8350. Trust me. I was on that bandwagon too until I replaced it with the 4790.

I'd look for an I-7 bundle. Like a 4790+MB combo. I just picked up a bundle from Microcenter for around $330. And it screams.. I'm historically an avid AMD user, but I decided to move from an 8120 8 core AMD to the Intel 4770 and its a huge difference. I'm not sure I'll go back to AMD.

What is your budget?? That would help us help you tremendously.

Pellet spread is about right. It's like a shotgun blast. These things are legit. Although I've not been in a vehicle with these equipped, I have brothers who have. This is a huge defense against the heavy rpg zones.

So is emptying a clip and a half into someone in order to get a kill. To each is own....

From my experience, linux servers run much smoother and are much easier to troubleshoot these types of issues. Maybe that's the issue. Trying to use linux mentality on a windows server just a joke of course. I've mentioned this in another thread, but just want to re-iterate that high ping players have nothing to do with server lag. Connection/redirect... you may be on to something...

When CI's don't kill the server, this god awe-full map does. PLEASE remove it from the rotation.

Fuck the tigers; Royals all the way! And how bout' those Chiefs!

Agreed. I thought this was supposed to be implemented weeks ago........

Without analyzing anything its really hard to tell on the surface as to what's wrong. I do know we used to play FT 5-6 years ago with the same player slots and we did not have these issues. What has changed? I know we need to accommodate everyone, but I think it could be a good idea to look at other providers not located in NY. Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas; shit I don't care if its Germany if it helps us narrow down the issue.

No.. The idea that high-ping players lag the server has been a pretty pervasive myth in FPS gaming for a while now. You'd have to go all the way back to Doom and similar-era peer-to-peer lockstep methods to see it in an FPS. Some RTS games use something similar, which generally isn't an issue, but might be responsible for it being in the popular consensus. Duck, I would be happy to assist in troubleshooting all the COD server latency/lag issues if needed.

What is "unfair"? Again, it is not a business' job to support you. They pay you for a service. To be honest, fast food work doesn't require a whole lot of brain cells, so why do they deserve to make more than someone who has an education in a specific trade at an entry level position? Who needs an education when you can get $15/hour at Taco Bell? To me, its completely backwards thinking. And you are right; not everyone in this country is born with a silver spoon, but EVERYONE has the opportunity to advance themselves. I don't care where you come from; you control your own destiny..

Back to LOM posted a while back. Fast food/minimum wage jobs are not meant to support the well-being of an individual. Minimum wage was put in place to protect young people from getting taken advantage of; not to make sure you had enough $$ to survive. And I may not NEED a billion dollars, but if I earned it, its mine. Bottom line is that it wouldn't impact the large fast food chains, and it would make people semi-happy for a very short term, then they realize their lifestyle is adjusting to the increased wage and they don't have the discipline to budget or save or educate themselves to move up professionally or in life. They are then pissed at the man for not providing handouts and want to blame everyone else for their shortcomings.

That is another topic completely that I believe would cloud your original question. It was more of an example of how government focuses its efforts the wrong way.

Our brains tend to focus on straight-line causation in thinking about social problems and that we have a difficult time seeing the feedback effects that are actually dominant. Because of this, we concentrate on symptoms and not causes and we thereby create policies that are ineffective, at best. For example, in the 1960s, the housing shortage in the inner city led analysts to the “obvious” conclusion that the government needed to build more houses. Housing shortage? Build houses! But, the real problem was the economic stagnation in the inner city which meant that people living there lacked the income that would have paid for the housing. Had policy makers focused instead on creating jobs, the houses would have followed automatically. Instead, we ended up exacerbating the problem by creating an incentive (i.e., low-cost housing) to stay in an area that was no longer economically viable. Likewise, the most effective means of increasing the incomes of the poor is not to legislate an increase in their wages, but to stimulate the demand for labor to the point that firms are induced to pay more by choice. Make them want to pay in excess of the federal minimum wage because they cannot otherwise find enough employees to meet customers’ demands. And we have the tool to accomplish this through federal deficit spending.* This is precisely what we should be doing right now and should have been doing aggressively since the onset of the crisis. In fact, we are moving in the opposite direction. This is not to say that the federal minimum wage law does not have a role to play. It is intended to protect our most vulnerable from exploitation, as are various other labor laws. Such circumstances will not go away even in a very tight labor market (though they will become more rare). But, it should not be used as a means to reduce poverty. As argued above, it can’t. All these discussions have done is obscured the real problem. We need to get this very important discussion back on track and stop talking about raising wages and start talking about stimulating employment. The latter will do far more to raise the former than anything we can legislate. My 2cents

Then we definitely have a consensus that we are all unhappy with the provider. Location is irrelevant, if you have a shitty provider or server. It seems we have had nothing but issues with them....

Per Sammy, this should be removed after the next server reboot.

This is EXACTLY how it was for me on the old NY server. I've got a more consistent sub 100 ping from this PA server. We shouldn't have to reinvent the wheel here. We cant be the only multi-country clan out there that play on the same server. If we are to to this right, we would need 3 people from the USA. West Coast, Midwest, East Coast and 3 spread out Euro players to team up to find the best location/provider. We can't please everyone, but if we put enough research and testing behind it, I think we could please the majority.
