I am 100% all the way for AMD.
AMD's low end rocks all over Intel's high end.
AMD is for the people. They keep their prices to an affordable level. It's not all about their pockets like Intel is.
Intel is losing money and has reduced some of their prices by 50% lately.

this is plz dont kick

You need the punk buster legacy files for steam.
These are the files, just follow the readme file inside:
 
pblegacyfiles.zip

well, there is the dead silence perk, ok
and there is also people who mess with their sound files, remove ambient sounds and so they can hear everything even if u have dead silence and/or you are on the other side of the map.

Anyone else get photos of the Super Wolf Blood Moon eclipse the other night?

Freezing my ass off at Conowingo Dam on Friday morning while photographing Bald Eagles.  The trip was a bust, it was even too cold for the birds!
Equipment is:  Canon 5D Mark IV with Canon EF 500 f/4L USM IS and 1.4x Mark III teleconverter mounted on Wimberley WH-200.

There were a lot of them around here this year, which happens every few years. Here's an obliging one that sat on top of a utility pole at sunrise in January for the hour that I watched it:
 

Mrs. Smeg and I spent last week in California (San Francisco, Monterey and Yosemite).
Snagged these off the camera using my phone.  Still haven't had time to post process / edit them.  
Yosemite and Monterey are absolutely STUNNING!
You can keep San Francisco, though.  
Most of these were taken with a Canon 5D Mark IV and Canon EF 16-35 f/4L USM III

Some photos I took in Yellowstone National Park and Grand Tetons National Park a couple of weeks ago.  The majority were taken with my new Canon EOS R body with Canon RF24-105 f/4L USM IS and Canon EF 500 f/4L USM IS (and 1.4x III teleconverter).  I believe the only one that was not taken with the EOS R was the Prong Horn Antelope which was taken with my Canon 5D Mark IV and Canon EF 100-400 f/4.5-5.6L USM IS.

lol yea maybe those kind of stats, i agree some can have fun with those, its like the knife kills stats, nades, tubes, rockets ,....
Some are playing for k/d ratio, some don't, but in the end the best players are those who play for the team and not for stats.
i'd love to see defrosts stats

no i changed my mind a bit,
those stats as we have here are fun.
its kinda interresting to see who kills you the most and who you kills the most, all this is great to see

Make up your damned mind, Chicken-Got-Fingered!!!!
Lol, buddy.

its all Sally's fault !
 
yea nobody cares about those stats, or maybe some care only about their knifing kills, but thats it.
high ranks just mean you gained enough points over time, it doesnt mean your stats are good or not.

OK this may be a little premature.. and not everything is working.. but it's back enough to start being interesting to people. I was bugged (abused) at the XI fest that the stats were not there so came back and wrote some friggy code into the portal and got the XlrStats working again through the B3 bots system. 
The B3 and XlrStats projects have not been supported in a few years so I had a some updating and changes to make it compatible with the latest version of PHP etc. Most of the website features are working but some of the datatables are displaying the wrong data. The server information page and player profile pages look pretty good. 
The stats are running on our most popular servers for each Call of Duty game. I have added the links to the home page on the left under the GameTracker server list (see image):

 
I will continue looking at the website and trying to figure out why the data tables are buggered (also had to comment out some code to make it work). If you are interested you can look here for my fork: https://github.com/frasermolyneux/xlrstats-web-v3
Hope this appeases some of the more vocal folk...

Howdy Folks,
Just heard from one of our fellow Mac users that they upgraded to macOS 10.15 Catalina and found out the hard way it no longer supports 32-bit apps, including the Steam, MacAppStore or CD versions of COD4 for the MAC!
So if you enjoy playing COD4 on your Mac, easy thing to do is Don't upgrade!
If you have upgraded already (and you know who you are) here are some options (none of which are that great)
1) Backup everything and reformat and reinstall MacOS 10.14:
https://iboysoft.com/mac-data-recovery/downgrade-from-macos-catalina.html
 
2) Install a VMM/Hypervisor and windows (Win 10 32-bit would be fine) and the win version of COD4 from Steam or CD like:
VMWare Fusion (My Choice):
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjYntuhhZ_lAhXpnuAKHakwCAIQFjAAegQIARAB&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vmware.com%2Fproducts%2Ffusion.html&usg=AOvVaw2cwjRa20hAdeyvBhC3omGm
Parallels Desktop:
https://www.parallels.com/landingpage/pd/fusion-compete/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI7L_ioYWf5QIVGq_ICh11zQbtEAAYAiAAEgKtyvD_BwE
VirtualBox (free):
https://www.virtualbox.org
 
3) Install Windows with BootCamp on your mac: https://support.apple.com/boot-camp
4) Get a real windows box to run COD4
 
 
Things that you'd think would be ok to do but really aren't at the moment:
A ) Use a cloud VM like GEFORCE NOW, unfortunately this allows you to install the latest version of windows COD4 which is 1.8 and incompatible with our servers: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce-now/
B ) Run Wine or a derivative thereof like Crossover but they aren't ready for Catalina yet either: https://www.codeweavers.com/products
 
Hope this helps.  Please post up your solutions.  I went with Win10 32-bit and VMWare Fusion getting 90fps on my 2016 MacBook Pro, so not too shabby.

No dear boy, it's based on evidence, my reputation must precede me, I left a window open this summer and heard the lady neighbours talking about 'that big prick in the corner house', I felt a million dollars.

And then you wake up?
(Yoda) "Hmm?"
Lol.  Nay . . .
Hehhehaeheheahehehaehehahheahehewh!!
Crazy bastige . . .

ffs does it matter? I have a huge dick but am happy to remain anonymous, sad to see someone thinking the stats, which mean nothing, are hacked to make them look poor, get a life.
At least we know the size of your dick now lol
