If you want MW2 nostalgia we can all download MW2 for free on PC and play private anyway haha

I've been fascinated by twitch recently and have been following a couple of CoD streamers. Mostly Fluxury and Speros. My 'question' is, what compels people to give these streamers large sums of money? I watched Fluxury stream today and 2 different people gave him 100 gifted subs. That's £125 of their own money, given to this guy. Twice. I don't get it. I gifted my amazon prime sub to Speros as it didn't cost me anything but I couldn't imagine giving 1 gifted sub, let alone 100. Has anyone ever done something like this? Why? Help me understand! EDIT: Just to add to this as well. The whole concept of 'chatting' with the player is also bollocks too. The chat is just emoji's and 'hype' no actual real conversation.

Its fucking bonkers isnt it mate. I dont understand it either. Im on it to stream and possibly make more gaming friends for a laugh mainly. I will not be putting down any funding for nobody haha

Gonna guess people that have the Microsoft version can still crossplay with Steam peeps? If so, more should get on this. Fantastic fun game in a group of us (cos we're awesome ofc)

I can honestly say i've enjoyed all of them. I think a lot of people get caught up in nostalgia of the 'good ol' days' of MW2 or BO but if every game was the same they would complain about that too? I think you have to take each game for what it is and try and find the fun in it. As an example, Modern Warfare (2019) is clearly a slower/noob friendly game where rushing is punished and kill streaks are weak. That doesn't make it a bad game, it just means I have to find a way to let my play style flourish and work hard to find ways of destroying campers etc. It's a different challenge rather than something 'bad' in my opinion. Where as Black ops 3 for example was a game where rushing and mastery of the controller was highly rewarded but being able to use a Scuf controller isn't easy either and that took a lot of time to get a real grasp of etc. Just my 2 cents though.

lol everything finds it's way back to Steam eventually, it's like the peloton in the tour de france pulling a breakaway group back into its monstrous embrace with 2 km to go [emoji28] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

😂😂😂😂😂😂 This ☝️ Time for another poll me thinks! (and yes, agree the dirty bastards)

My posts are like this lol

Swapped the RAM sticks around? Tried a different SSD?

Going off topic here but @Dan94 It is something I’ve tried as when it fails to boot it gets stuck at a usb error code. Even unplugging everything it still get stuck at the usb error. Which leads me to suspect it’s the motherboard usb controller failing rather than a usb device. I just want to rule out everything I can before trying to RMA an intermittently failing motherboard. @phil bottle It’s not that new anymore as I built it just over 2 years ago now. I didn’t realise it was that long though, time flies when you’re having fun.

Nice to see the community try this out, cooll little project for the people involved. If truth be told heres my 2p on the ol' MP for MW2: I think it is fully made and they are right it would probably flop in their eyes as its not a money making game the remastered versions are cool for nostalgia but outside of a huge Private Match nights, i very much doubt it would get much of a look in against other MP games. People enjoy nostalgia for a short period and seem to seek out new stuff more often I think they'll keep it under wraps until they see an opening where they can offer it as extra content as part of a new game or for a promotional moment in time to bring people back to CoD franchise and then invest in one of the new games. PS Plus game too perhaps Just my opinion remember although I can't see the option of not being released an option. It'll come out eventually.

Just give all the fucking maps innit. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

This game came out a couple of months back and it's a stylish narrative-driven cyberpunk game with a great atmosphere by the sounds of it. They've also just added in a very impressive first person mode along with a 3rd person perspective too and it looks pretty impressive and highly immersive:-

Sooo... Have any of you lot tried out the Holger in multiplayer or Warzone yet? I was running it yesterday in an overkill class paired up with an MP7 and this fucking thing packs a punch! I'm running the blueprint that essentially turns it into an AR for the moment as I haven't levelled it too much and haven't got too many attachments for it, but using this thing in warzone was an absolute blast. Bit more recoil than most AR's, but still less than the Scar or AK and the damage over range is rediculous. Also holds up quite well at close range. I can't wait to try this baby out more as the games I did use it in last night were very fun. Also been told it got buffed to hell with the last update (I only unlocked the damn thing on friday I think) so if you like LMG's give it a shot!

I don't understand the concept of giving already rich people even more money. Some of them make a shitload through adverts and then they have a daily tips goal of about $1000 which is cracked within an hour. There are some horrendous e-beggars of Twitch - WingsofRedemption for one who is the fattest, laziest and most vile slob out there. I've never seen someone so toxic - he's trolled relentlessly but he invites it most of the time and it's what makes him money. DarkSydePhil is the other one - he is $500,000 in debt with multiple credit cards and blew $40,000 on the WWE Champions Mobile game and still people donate!? Neither one of those appreciate the support they get or the money. I also don't understand the point of Twitch chat - as said by Caveman, it's just emoji's and spam especially on the popular stream channels. It's useful in small streams I guess for relating to the streamer and them engaging more directly with the audience but spamming emoji's is like talking to a brick wall. There's also these 'simps' who give away all their money to 'thots' which I find hilarious but sad. Another thing people don't know is that these big Streamers are paid to play games most of the time - they may pretend like they've made a choice to play X on that particular night but actually the publisher has pretty much put a schedule in stone and giving them $50,000 a night for playing their game for 6 hours.

I absolutely love the transition from before prison in 1945 to when you come out in the early 1950's post-war. It's actually one of the most smartest and immersive inclusions I've ever seen in a game and some things aren't even noticeable. In the 40's it's snowy, the cars are old, the music is slow, the shops are barren and the vibe in the city is quiet. Coming out and there's no snow, the war is over, cars are more flashy, new shops, billboards are updated, new buildings, people are dressed differently, the music is new and funky and the city is much more lively. It's really well done. Mafia 2 takes around 11-13 hours usually which is a bit of a shame. It's amazing in that time but 5 more chapters would have been welcome and the latter stages do feel a bit rushed.

Nice work! I really let myself go recently so had to dial it back. I usually sit around 190lbs as my bodies happy weight, I got down to 175lb for Ibiza, Magaluf & Turkey last 3 years, but this year since Christmas and start of the year I've ballooned up to 220lbs [emoji50] So really need to get to sub 200lbs then go from there. On a side note to weight training and losing weight, I really want to resume the 'Couch to 5k' once I've lost more weight and improve my cardio.

Nice work Dan, I've dropped 5kg myself during lockdown also!

😆 I actually had a thought about yours, next time I get in to my pc I can copy your caveman off and continue working on it on my laptop. I’ve run photoshop before on it and it’s worked mostly alright. It’s really only the 3d logos that are a problem as no way can my laptop run 3d software.

The classic version looks good, also is it me, or does the game become more colourful once you're out of prison and in the 1950s? Might be what I was smoking but hey [emoji39] can't wait for the remake of the first one, Mafia 2 is far too short. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Decided to start dieting about 7 weeks ago now, was going to wait until gyms opened but thought hey, may aswell use this time wisely... Lost around 11lbs so far 😄 Everyone saying they're finding it hard because so much spare time, boredom eating etc but I'm finding it easier; no social events, no restaurants, less takeaways etc... Just making sure I hit 6-8k steps a day and doing a full body workout with bands every other day.

Can @Nutcuttlit and I get a 'fitness' group somewhere????

My name is Jacob and as 14 I heard about this place through Reddit and already have been greeted by numerous kind people and to see the amount of game you all play is awesome! I hope that we can be friends!

Couldn't agree more with those points @GazzaGarratt

Mafia 2: Definitive Edition

Mobo fucked, RMA time. You're the third person to have a fucked mobo so far this year, what the hell.

@Greboth go start a new thread for helpsies on PCeeez

I take it when you do manage to get logged in you've updated all the usb controller drivers just in case?

This is also true, plus it wasn't the greatest of ports as far as I remember Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Every COD is good for someone somewhere [emoji16] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

Half the world wants new and fresh things, half the world wants old and sexy things. Whichever way CoD goes, they'll get a backlash, they always do. If they can follow BO3 with a little of BO4 and then throw in MW2 remastered as an addition later down the line if you buy it is that the middle ground everyone wants?

Unfortunately last time we did that we could only get max 12 players on a Blackout map which wasnt the best. I agree though 20+ of all of us playing something like Warzone would be immense.

Looks really cool @J4MES OX4D and abit like a suped up Minecraft when you check out the FPS mode. I do wonder how dynamic the action is though as much as it looks gorgeous.

Welcome and enjoy your stay Jacob

Taken from Half Life 2: The Lost Coast Add-On - 15 years and still better looking than some games we see today

BO3 on PC is currently £12 - 15

Plain scones, cream + jam no sultanas. Don't care what's on first, still tastes good. Now people who make tea and put the milk in first before the bag that's just deranged. I totally understand where this guy is coming from. 😂

That's French though 😄

Exactly, its 100% scOHne

Not for me, what turned me off it was the stupid easy sniping but ghosts, as, mw2019, infinite warfare were worse than this. Apparently the massive changes 6 months in really improved the game. I do agree mwr is a better Friday night

Grau and RPG secondary, EOD ghost Amped , heartbeat C4 come at me

Glad to see the a20's are ok. I've had mine ages, yes they could be louder, but then they'd need charging more.... Via the FG App

These are the ones I've recently picked up after my Turtle Beaches broke after 7 years. Absolutely love them, they're on offer at Argos atm too

Its a shame you can't do massive Warzone private matches like on Blackout... now that WOULD be fun! 😝

I'm going to start my daily push ups and sit ups tomorrow too @Spacedeck . Need to finally break this lethargic spell.

Rather than increasing reps try different width of arm spacing or raise you feet to increase intensity. I use my couch and have my index fingers and thumbs touching to form a diamond to start them place hands as wide as possible for the next set. Via the FG App

I voted for shooty shooty bang bang and beer. See you Friday 😘
