  4. AlterRevolution versus 4D1

    in Call of Duty

    Posted

    this 4D1 thing sucks, I don't know much about it, but not being able to aim while sprinting, and not being able to sprint without holding the sprint key just kills the game.

    i got the 4D1 client and i dont need to hold my sprint key down ,tap it once i can auto sprint until i release forward :/

  14. Service communication failure pnkbstrb.exe

    in Call of Duty

    Posted

    are you using avast ?

    1. Open Avast

    2. Click real time shields

    3. Click File system shields

    4. Click Expert Settings

    5. Add the following lines in Exclusions

    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\pnkbstra.exe

    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\pnkbstrb.exe

    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\pnkbstrb.xtr

    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\pnkbstrb.ex0

    6. Click Ok and try it.

    copy and paste from a evenbalance ticket "

    You are being kicked for a "Communication Failure" thus it is likely that something on your computer is preventing the PnkBstr services from communicating with each other.

    A common cause for this is a security or anti-virus program. McAfee and other popular security/firewall programs need to be told to allow the PnkBstrA and PnkBstrB services to run without restriction (even if you turn them off while playing; the service files are located in "C:\Windows\System32" or "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\"). Until you locate and remove the restrictions on PnkBstrA and B, you will continue to be kicked for this. DO NOT remove those files! E.g. if you are using a software firewall you will need to unblock/allow them.

    Also make sure you don't run the game in a compatibility mode.

    If you've never manually installed the PunkBuster services, you might want to try that as well. Download the service installer from http://www.evenbalance.com/downloads/pbsvc/pbsvc.exe and run it. You might also want to reinstall the services using this tool.

  15. Black Ops II

    in Call of Duty

    Posted

    taken from game debate ;)

    Call of Duty Black Ops 2 Minimum System Requirements

    OS: Windows Vista SP2 / Windows 7

    CPU: Intel Core2 Duo E8200 2.66 GHZ / AMD Phenom X3 8750 2.4 GHZ

    RAM 32-Bit OS: 2 GB RAM

    RAM 64-Bit OS: 4 GB RAM

    GPU RAM: 512MB

    GPU: Nividia GeForce 8800 GT / ATI Radeon HD 3870

    DX: 11

    Here are some obvious questions that you may like covered before you pick up a pre-order.

    Does the game run on Windows XP?

    No. Following the game engine upgrade, it requires DirectX11 now. Windows XP does not support that and so COD BO2 requires Windows Vista SP2 or Windows 7 or better.

    Does Black Ops 2 actually run ok on a machine that just meets the BO2 minimum requirements?

    Yes Black Ops 2 will run on a machine that meets minimum system requirements. Treyarch assure us that they have run extensive tests on a variety of hardware and are very confident that a minimum requirement machine can run the game to a suitable standard.

    What game engine does Black Ops II use?

    They are sticking with a modified version of the game engine known as Black Ops. It has a number of improvements, including performance optimizations, enhanced graphics, and proprietary anti-cheat technology.

    Please explain the performance optimizations of Black Ops II?

    The engine now handles multiple threads much more effectively and will now also use Direct X 11 instead of the previous Direct X 9 technology.

    DX11's API is much leaner than DX9 and therefore puts less stress on the CPU while still being able to do the same amount of processing. This enhancement will benefit all hardware and not just DX11 hardware. With extra quality to performance options added in to the game a gamer can now customize their experience, choosing whether to run something faster or instead to enahnce the look of the game.

    Will the PC version of Black Ops 2 get enhanced graphics?

    The PC version of Black Ops 2 will come with some advanced visual features that include, enhanced lighting, shadows, antialiasing, bloom, depth of field, ambient occlusion, and other enhancement effects that are currently still being worked on. Also there will be higher resolutions options and an increased framerate for the PC.

    Will Black Ops 2 have a framerate cap on the PC?

    No. But Treyarch will allow you to set a framerate cap if you want it. They have added in an adjustable FPS cap slider in the game options. The minimum setting is OFF (no cap).

    So there we go. No doubt this is likely to be another masssive release and one that even creaky aging PCs will likely be able to play.

    Our calculations suggest that a PC that is around 4 years old will be able to play this game fairly easily, providing it is DX11 capable.

    Whats your thoughts on Black Ops 2?

    Command & Conquer Generals 2 Becomes Free AAA C&C Game

    Taken from Now Gamer

    Command & Conquer Generals 2 has evolved into free-to-play, Frostbite 2-powered RTS Command & Conquer.


    Command & Conquer Generals 2 is no more, and will instead be folded into a brand new - free - game simply called Command & Conquer, EA has announced.

    Command & Conquer will still be built with Frostbite 2 and give gamers "access to the cutting-edge visuals, sound and destruction of a full, AAA strategy game," at no cost.

    Describing the new Command & Conquer as an "online platform and service", the free, client-based game will launch for PC in 2013

    The Generals universe will be included as "the first of many free offerings within the storied franchise EA is planning," so there's plenty of room for micros-transactions yet.


    "For nearly two decades, this franchise has existed as something you buy; now we are creating a destination where our fans will be able to access the entire Command and Conquer universe, starting with Generals and continuing with Red Alert, Tiberium, and beyond," said Jon Van Caneghem, VP/GM at EA.

    “With Frostbite 2, we are able to keep an emphasis on the AAA quality our consumers expect while staying true to the RTS gameplay they know and love – all available online for free.”

    How Frostbite 2 will work in a browser is unclear, but expect "fully destructible environments, dynamic physics", and a game that "will evolve and develop with an expanding array of new content based on community feedback."

"For the past 12 years, it has continued to be one of the most-played games in the world, headline competitive gaming tournaments and selling over 25 million units worldwide across the franchise. CS: GO promises to expand on CS' award-winning gameplay and deliver it to gamers on the PC as well as the next gen consoles and the Mac."
