Your general thoughts on Call of Duty now?
H3iman and one other reacted to J4MES OX4D for a topic
Call of Duty: Ghosts for me is a great game but at present I have been feeling less motivated to play it to the extent I feel my personal interest in the franchise is diminished to a new low. I don't envisage picking it up anytime soon either. I have been playing COD since the original but Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was the ultimate multiplayer experience that kicked off my love-affair of the games for years to come. It's been a bumpy ride mostly with issues ranging from the technical side to gameplay aspects and the general hit and miss booming community that they game has attained over the years but through the highs and lows I have always participated in each annual title with a significant level of interest and throughout the duration of the game. Despite Ghosts's hiccups on PC since release; I still think it's a fine game and this would have been excellent a couple of years ago but I just feel that franchise doesn't wow me any more. I wasn't overly excited through the build up and despite the final product ticking most of the boxes; I don't think the concept grabs me as much as it used to which leaves me feeling ultimately tired of Call of Duty it seems. Spectre posted a breakdown list of what was new and what was essentially recycled in Ghosts and I was taken aback by the sheer lack of innovation on show and how many things had been rehashed but presented in a deceptive way to seem new and original. So much that Treyarch offered in Black Ops 2 was also not taken forward into Ghosts which disappointed me as well. This did make me see the game differently and the more I played since; the less interested I felt with the game. I didn't think Ghosts looked quite the advance that I was expecting perhaps still being tied to what is now the old generation of consoles but even a next-gen only Call of Duty would struggle to grab me which leaves me a bored with the typical Call of Duty design and multiplayer architecture. I've even found more time to play Brokenfield 4 which is extremely worrying! As we move onwards and upwards with the new consoles; I am focusing on the future titles such as Watch Dogs, Destiny, The Division, Titanfall and the likes of MGSV. Ambition, scale and large MP titles have me intrigued as to what is just around the corner. Call of Duty seems to be from a bygone era in my opinion that I can't see me playing in the future with massive MMO-styled titles of an exceptional quality like The Division or Destiny offer. For COD to come into the generation side by side such games; it will have to offer a complete overhaul of everything along with clear ambition and a radical new overview. The heart of me doesn't want them to drift too far away from the familiar concept but my head wants a massive and scaleable change to keep up with other unique titles on show. What are your general thoughts about the series now when compared to years ago? A welcome break from the game is perhaps what I need but not even the future DLC may be enough to keep me inspired. We shall see..2 points -

It sucks less than BF4. Seriously that's how I feel about it which isn't saying much. If they were to stop making CoD, I would not be upset at all. The franchise has run it's course and there are so many better games out there. Unfortunately most do not have the multiplayer capabilities CoD has which is it's only saving grace. For example a squad in BF is pretty small which really limits the team experience.2 points -

As always you are a wealth of information Sir. Good stuff. Not sure how you feel about Les Stroud, but he has a good survival book. My wife is sleeping or I'd go get it and tell you the name. Just figured I'd tell you some stuff I've personally used. Knife (I have a LOT) but for survival situations I really recommend the Gerber Lmf2. You really can't beat it for the price. I have a Leatherman multi-tool that has help me out more times than I can count. They make quality tools, though they can get pricy. As far a firearms go, don't underestimate the power of a decent air rifle to take game. I have killed Possum, racoon, squirrel and chipmunk with mine. It's a Gamo silent cat.2 points -
How to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse
Plumbers Crack and one other reacted to spectre for a topic
BARTERING Don’t underestimate the value of those skills for barter. If the grid goes down, people may be left with no access to medical care, serious gaps in their knowledge or the inability to repair vital items. If you possess those abilities, your skills will be in high demand. In the situation of economic collapse, there will be a revival of the barter system. To barter means to exchange your goods or services for someone else’s goods or services. To complete a satisfactory barter transaction, each person must desire something from the other party. Despite the potential of desperation, it’s morally imperative to be fair to the party that is most in need. Remember that one day, that person who is most in need may be you. Right now, if something breaks, the replacement is only as far away as the closest Wal-Mart. However, in the event of an economic collapse or a disaster that causes the trucks to stop running, it won’t be easy to replace broken items. The ability to repair broken items will be in very high demand. It will be a rare skill, because we live in a world of planned obsolescence. Few people actually know how to repair an item in a sturdy and long-lasting way. Brandon Smith of Alt-Market calls this about bringing back the American Tradesman: “If you wish to survive after the destruction of the mainstream system that has babied us for so long,” he says, “you must be able to either make a necessary product, repair a necessary product, or teach a necessary skill. A limited few have the capital required to stockpile enough barter goods or gold and silver to live indefinitely. The American Tradesman must return in full force, not only for the sake of self preservation, but also for the sake of our heritage at large.” SKILLS TO BARTER WITH ITEMS TO BARTER WITH SAFETY TIPS2 points -

I am playing it minimally as to not get burned out. I just don't enjoy them as much as I used to. Mw2 was top dog for me, all have fell short since for me. I enjoy a good rpg more than fps games anymore. I hope destiny is a good mix for me.1 point -

H3iman reacted to BO7H B4RRELS for a topic
I'm a bit burnt out on the franchise to be honest. I still enjoy playing it from time to time, but I'm not hooked like I used to be. Back with CoD:4, W@W, MW2, and BO1 I played obsessively. I even played CoD:2 and 3 a good amount online. But, now... not so much. I have to force myself to play. I only play it because I enjoy playing with friends. It has become stale. It just feels like a grind with no end goal. I get tired of the lame tactics people use. I get tired of the connection issues. I'm kind of over the whole thing. I'm sure if I was new to gaming or CoD or even FPS games, I'd be hooked on Ghosts. It's a fine game, but it just feels like the same game I've been playing the past 5-6 years. I've been branching out and trying different types of games since getting a gaming PC. It's really opened my eyes. I'm no longer obsessed with FPS games. There's a wide world of games out there that are every bit as competative, fun, and interesting.1 point -

WATER STORAGE AND SANITATION You can only survive for 3 days without water. There are many ways to make water safe for drinking. Even if you think the area is safe or the river is clean, you should always prepare your water. There are very few truly safe places to drink straight from nature. And you never know, an animal could have died upstream from your location which could lead to Giardia and other parasites presence. Never take shortcuts when it comes to water.

Sons of Anarchy[with spoilers, apparently]
TigerBurge reacted to Racist Giraffe for a topic
That last episode was insane. I don't remember ever watching any episode of any tv show that had that effect on me. I had to stop it like twice and say 'holy crap'. I reckon next season will wrap everything up and end the series. Jax will probably be arrested at first, but it's clear he didn't kill Tara or Eli so he'll get off. It'll probably end up with a Juice/Gemma/Nero/Unser v Jax & Sam Crow situation. Add in all the Mayan/Chinese/Pope dispute, and next season is going to be bloody. A sequel would be incredible. Might be difficult to implement though. The actors who play Gemma/Clay/Piney would need to be in it, and they're not getting any younger. Maybe a sequel of Chibs in Ireland? Or another charter? Ahh there's so many possibilites. Hopefully they do something. We've already lost Dexter/Breaking Bad recently, we can't lose Sons of Anarchy.1 point -

I'm buying guns
BO7H B4RRELS reacted to Docwagon for a topic
If you're new to guns, don't start out with two different systems. There is no reason to buy a Sig and Glocks. Pick one. The grip angle is different, the sights are different, the trigger is completely different, maintenance is different, breakdown is different, etc. etc. Why learn two systems to do the same thing? Learn one system. Then there's logisitics. Sig magazines don't fit in a Glock and vice versa. If you stick with one, parts interchange, magazine interchange, you only need one holster, etc. etc. Hardware is about 20% of the equation. The shooter is the other 80%. Don't get so wrapped up in the toys that you don't budget for training, practice, and more training and practice. If at all possible, go to a rental range, take a basic handgun course, and then rent several different styles of handguns. See what fits your hand. See what fits your wife's hand. See what's instinctive to point. See what type of trigger system you prefer, etc. I had a pretty detailed thread on selecting a firearm, ammunition, etc on the old forum. I think Jsin salvaged most of it. http://forevergaming.co.uk/index.php/topic/122-docs-firearms-thread/1 point -

BO7H B4RRELS reacted to Jason for a topic
I didn't have time to read all the replys, so if I repeat someone's post, I apologize. If you are going to buy three I would suggest 1 be a revolver. They are much easier to maintain. Perhaps for your wife. Springfield xd line is very good for the money. Sigs are awesome but pricy. You can't beat a shotgun for home defense, ease of use and you don't have to be all that accurate with a scatter gun. Lol I have a mossberg 12g and it works great. They are cheap and perform well. That's my 2 cents.1 point -

BO7H B4RRELS reacted to spectre for a topic
Hey, just in time, I was actually going to put together a Prepping thread to include everything I've learned over the past 5 years. I have discovered a lot of things, some useful, some in the "cool" category and also figured out what is worthless. I'll be working on it tomorrow so look out for that. As for guns, I recommend getting a handgun that is the same caliber as what your police force uses. Reason being, if SHTF, there will be plenty of ammunition that you can scavenge to use. You definitley need a shotgun. You should probably have a short close quarters barrel for home invasions and a hunting barrel. Ammo is expensive. When I bought mine, it was $1 per round. So worth it in my opinion. You're gonna need an "Assault Rifle", my choice is a AK-47. It works in the dirt and its cheap. More than one is always nice. I recommend buying bulk ammo by wolf 7.62. Last time I checked, it was $250 per 1000. Who knows what it is now. When I first started prepping it was only $99 per 1000. The good 'ol days are gone on that front. Glad I stocked up. Also, a .22 hunting rifle. If you want to get small game, you can, but also, pointing it at someone, the person isn't going to know what it is and even then, at least you still have that "show of force". Ammo is cheap as hell too. Buy in bulk, 10K rounds. That leads me into getting an Airsoft Rifle for also hunting small game and birds. They are strong enough to kill them, cheap and quiet. This pretty much rounds out the majority of situations you might have to encounter in a SHTF scenario.1 point
