Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
I started soundwhoring recently and what I found to work is with my setup (TV and surround sound stereo system), I just plug headphones into the stereo and it does basically the same thing as a high-quality headset. This is less effective if I'm playing split screen with my brother because I can hear his sound too, but it still works just as well. Something to try. Thing is, I'm usually in a party chatting to friends, so with headphones (I did use them before I played with friends often) I can't talk to people. <_< Why would it stop you from talking to people? If you get x32s you can control the chat and game volumes separately. I don't have the money for x32s (around £65).That's why I'm unable to get another pair of TBs. @Hakaan: I suppose I could, and I have thought of it but it would be pretty uncomfortable to have 2 pairs of headphones (one *with* a mic round your neck and the other on your ears) on at the same time. :unsure: I have the X11s, probably not as good as X32s, but they're still less expensive and good enough.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
Then there is something wrong with my game because it takes many hitmarkers to get the kill with fmg9s. Also, what's up with elite that it always shows that double xp with no time, it's been like that for 2 weeks yet I never got double xp. [hide][/hide]

I completely agree with Guy here, and I'm not saying the latest versions are the better, especially with Firefox (where I agree the programmers are pretty bad, but at least versions like version 4 are much faster than 3.5.x and safer), but staying in outdated versions is a security issue on any computer. If your computer is too old to handle more recent versions of stuff, then it is time to upgrade, and computers are pretty cheap these days. Also, from experience (as you say) I know that upgrading IE doesn't change the look of Windows Explorer. I'm not going to say more about this, pretty much answers the essential part of your rant.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
I think it was intentional, and I think they got the time to let us hear right on, compared to other games that have it. At least something they did right. And fmg9 is pretty bad since they nerfed them, I find MP9 Akimbo to be better. Also, 7th prestige tomorrow (only have a level and a half to go).

Things that annoy the HELL out of you.
Really, this is going to be my only post on the subject, but being Catholic, I don't mind being around atheists, as long as ideas aren't pushed down other people's throats. By this I mean, I'm catholic, but I don't push religion on people, and I espect the same from others, not to push their religion/non-religion on me.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
Then I must've always been on the wrong side of hit detection as I needed a full 20 bullets (and sometimes 15 hitmarkers) to get kills on Black Ops. I'm never playing that game again as well. On a completely unrelated note, I've been having some issues with my Xbox on multiple games, and this video best describes it. You guys have any idea what causes it? Maybe a too old Xbox? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKiUnpOLa2I

What browser are you using? (unless I missed it). But with compatibility view in IE8/IE9 it should work like it should. Yeah, Windows XP Pro SP2, but I avoided the system(and interface)-crapping updates. Still on IE6 here, but not using it except on clean sites and only where needed. It gets to sit in dead silence, you might say. Viva La Well-Tweaked FF 3.5.x-series, plus twenty-some extensions! :thumbsup: ~D. V. "Old stuff, sometimes far better than the new." Devnull (p.s.: Did you know SP3 perma-breaks classics like MechWarrior 3?) IE6 support has been dropped by website developpers, it's one of the worst choices of browsers when it comes to security and also the slowest browser around. IE9, while ugly, is still the most secure IE browser.

^ LOL I agree, it's pretty slow, but then again I think a lot of people are quitting Rs and any forums etc related to it. I know I quit Rs and most of the forums that had to do with it (except that tif OT is one of the places I like the most).

Worse, if you're running winbloze (my idea of an insult to Micro$oft about Windows) on your computers, you can't dump your current release of IE, because it's too deeply tied into the system. Literally, last I checked, you would wreck your systems trying to do that. :( ~D. V. "Micro$oft makes some software impossible to back-level..." Devnull Aren't you using Windows?

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
Hit detection is the one thing that makes me rage in CoD, and so far Black Ops was the worst, and it's the only CoD I haven't played after getting MW3. I play CoD4 almost everyday, I played WaW not too long ago, and same with MW2. I'm having a lot of fun on MW3 and that's why I play it a lot.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
Yeah but they are apparently fixing the spawns. And Type 95 is only overpowered if you get instakills with it, the few times I used it, it took me arould 3 bursts to get the kills. And black ops isn't that balanced, there are overpowered guns in that game too (such as the Famas). Also you shoot through people in Black Ops. Overall, BO makes me rage because I can't get a good game because I keep shooting through people, but then again I don't rage on MW3 unless I'm the host and that lag compensation makes the game unplayable, on my 15Mb/s down and 12Mb/s up connection. Usually I back out right away when I get host. Cod4, Cod5, MW2, MW3 are games that I have a lot of fun in, but I never really had fun in black ops.

Strange, I don't think I've seen a crash since around then. Of course it probably helps that I haven't had Flash and friends. Most of the issues have to do with Flash and the graphics drivers, as I've found out. Getting the latest beta drivers for my graphics card solved most of the issues I had with firefox crashing, but it still happens from time to time with Flash.

Going to work/school while sick
Sick or not, I work, and I do my best to be working at the same capacity as I usually do. I need this because I can't afford to lose hours of pay. Heck I even once worked an 11 hours day with a high fever (everyone that was supposed to work that night called in sick). That was about 4 years ago. I'm not the type to whine when sick, and I only recently went to the hospital for something else, and they had to make a new hospital card for me seeing as the system changed 6 years ago.

Actually, Firefox's best version was version 4. After that it just went crashier and crashier. And I am experiencing it as well, but Firefox Nightly is pretty good.

^ I agree with that. Thing is, Treyarch is very good with customer service, but makes the bad games (although zombies are fun), but Infinity Ward is bad with customer support, but makes the best games..

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
they said there would be sniper only playlists, but then they never gave us them. Just like they said that people using the free cod elite would get some stuff or even events, but they never gave us that. And no deathstreaks.. As well as no last stand/final stand. I guess that's why they're losing so many players.

Everyone has a different taste in beers. For example I like Molson M, but it's so new and rare that I don't know anyone else that likes it. Also not a lot of pubs/clubs have it.

Laptop for a friend
You could look for refurbished notebooks too. I have a friend that got a refurbished for $200 and it's stronger than my 4 year old $1300 laptop. Although the prices wen't down as much in those 4 years I guess. The only difference is his laptop didn't have a dedicated graphics card.

My forum I held off for Several months ..
The forum says it was created yesterday. Since this is with forumotion, you can change it pretty easily to phpbb3 and they make the conversion for you. Also the faq is generated. To me it looks like you're lying to get people to go to your forum. Prove to me that I'm wrong by showing us the actual site and not just the forum.
