Ahh MW2 FTW. Got my Prestige Pack, the No Russian stage is awesome!!! The NVGs aren't too bad either, but then again I have used far better NVGs before at work. For a game add-in, not too bad. I'm sure I can annoy someone with them.

Those that think a second set of matching servers in the US won't effect them because they are on console...well we'll see.

Generally when a master server responds with servers it has found the list is populated with the servers closest to the master servers first, because they are closer so it takes less time. So when you have a master server on the other side of the Earth and you can't see the list of servers available you are at the mercy of the logic that the IW matching system will use which will most likely be optimized for, you guessed it, the US.

There's a reason they added server lists to L4D.

Also most consle players won't be able to tell the difference because FPS on console is so damn slow. I notice a difference between a sub 30 and a 50 or greater ping in my game play on PC, it's obvious and frustrating and I have changed ISPs over less.

As it has been explained it is P2P with a negotiated connection through IW servers in the US.

They really should have hired a network engineer instead of Bowling.

Couldn't agree more.

Definately not a game i will be purchasing.

No dedicated servers = fail.

Every game i can think of that does not allow at least modding/custom maps sucks balls in the online department.

Some of the BEST games of all time have been those with brilliant online components, this "inhouse" matching system will fail, just like all other attempts over the years have failed.

Just finished Campaign on hardened some really epic bits which i loved.. People bitch about the story being hard to follow but I thought it was good. It kinda just ends which shitted me off means I have to wait another 2 years to continue it ARGH.

Mucked around on spec ops but I'm not really a big fan of it because they skimped on the single-player for more enhanced multi-player crap.. stupid Infinity Ward.

I've played for about 2 hours on pc mp so far...

first game within 10secs i had the awesome host migration lol About 1/4 of the games i have been in are affected by this, got thrown into an american game aswell so much for searching for best ping?!?!

Once you find a room with some1 that can host its great fun but just getting there is the problem, no dedicated servers is epic fail.

Yep - this is the problem EVERYONE said would happen.

But as usual, ignorant developers said it would be the "best" system ever concieved... ye fken right.

If that is happening already, then forget online for PC.

Games decent enough, I might be able to live with the dedicated servers... and no mods... and no lean. But the attitude of the developers is what makes it to much for me to take.

"Moriarte: Ignoring IW.net, is the PC version a direct port of the console version?

Mackey-IW: No, PC has custom stuff like mouse control, text chat in game, and graphics settings."

Yes, mouse control. Thank you for being so Kind IW, and not making us buy a bloody controller :happy:

Guess i'll pick it up when its cheaper.

      Is there a good place to learn how an engine works online?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      What are you planning to do specifically?  I would be very surprised if you need to learn any math for these 'few builds' you have planned for the future.

      I transferred from full time service to Army Reserve, so I still have access, work has been super keen to get me in to work in the OPS realm, so just turning up to use the gym......and ovens, isn't causing any issues, apart from me needing to keep on telling them that I won't be doing any reserve days until I get my joint in Goulburn sorted  Basically I can now work whenever I want, for how long I want now, and it's all tax free Next time we have some fires or floods you might see me covered in mud, or cutting sick in some plant equipment cleaning up, the Reserves love getting in the news, LOL

      Final finish outcome of 80°c was typical to the pics, I've turned the oven down to 50°c and will pick them up after the gym tomorrow  The before and after difference was amazing, the wrinkle paint has covered all of the casting marks completely It did take a couple of hours to key it all and get in all of the crevices, but, for me it was time well spent for the final outcome, but I have all the time in the world to do it at the moment  Ended up with 4 coats, each sprayed at different angles to get optimal coverage and thickness As for the fixtures and intake box thingo that hasn't made it, the supplier is apparently posting the fixtures, and, are now sending a different CAI that is in stock The replacement CAI is actually better than what I originally ordered, but will require a pod filter that locates under the front bar, still serviceable, but it basically removes the whole OEM filter box and ducts into the front bar, so filter cleaning will require ramps and the removal of some front bar undertray, not a war stopper, just some ramps and an additional 10 minutes work every few months From looking at it it is made from alloy pipe from the throttle body, through the CAI hole in the rad support, then right turning under the bar, luckily the wrinkle paint was on special and I got 2 cans for $30ish, so the alloy will get the same wrinkle treatment as the intake manifold, hopefully it turns up soon, either way, the car will be getting booked in soon, if the parts aren't here, I'll just get MX5 Mania to " make it work"

      I'm so glad base security is so high. I see they stopped some random codger from being able to just wander in off the street... 😛   PS, intake looks good!
