Pic0o Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Sweet. That money would probably fare well in 2x super Vid Cards running SLI. If you still have Room, I'd go for 4GB+ RAM and an insane Heatsink. Thermalright FTW as you got spammed on the HQ. :) As for the Console Kids, I noticed CoD4 does not seem to have support for multiple local players to Play on LIVE. WTF, mate? I'll have to Rob a bank so we can get a 2nd Console. :lol: Link to comment
Xerxes Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Ya, games that dont support more people on live in a single console anger me...halo ftw ;D Link to comment
frank_ Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 im pretty psyched for this build. last time i did it was 3 years ago almost to the day i think, and i only spent like a thousand for what were pretty decent parts. but now it seems im going almost all out :P 2x gpu + (hopefully) 4 gb RAM + quad? dual? processor = fantastic for me for the next aeon.

Pic0o Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 2x gpu + (hopefully) 4 gb RAM + quad? dual? processor = fantastic for me for the next 6-9 Months. I fixed your post for you. :ninjawub: Link to comment
Pic0o Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I tried playing some rounds before we redid our downstairs layout, and it was pretty bad on Connecting, and worse in a game, since only 2-3 or the original 8 players made it for a whole match. I did come just shy of LvL 6, so the extra game types should be fun, if the servers actually stay online. I do wish Consoles would get options like 'Join by IP' for when the master server is vomiting up so much blood. One could dream. :P Link to comment
frank_ Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 hahah nice fix. parts were ordered. 1 gpu, 8 gigs ram (LOL). pix to come when i build her up. 3 days? Link to comment
Pic0o Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 8GB, WTF, lol. You can run the Game, and entire OS in Memory with 4GB free. Good call. Building should take about 2-3 hours to ensure a stable boot roughly, and from there a New Windows install with patches probably takes about 4 hours. You could have her up late that night if you take a vacation day when the shit delivers. :P Link to comment
frank_ Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 It will be a vacation day since I dont go back to school for like 10 more days :P However, I might have some obligations to fulfill with the lady, so it might get pushed back a few hours :P Link to comment
Xerxes Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Pic0o - I can have my b0x installed and updated with Vista in less then 30 minutes :) Vista takes very little time to install imo Link to comment
Pic0o Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Oh yeah, That's very nice. Did SP1 drop for Vista yet, or is that still in process? I thought I saw SP3 for XP was in Pub Beta or something. We are all but done with the mass movement of our housewares. I should be trying to piss off high level people with some shotguns to the face this weekend in CoD, assuming Live keeps on running. :o Link to comment
Xerxes Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 no full service packs yet Link to comment
Pic0o Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 I was rockin some good time on Live last night rockin mad Domination. Since it's CTF-ish, I can focus less on failed kills and skill up. :) Level 11 with Shotty and uppin Assault. En of DS post. Link to comment
Pic0o Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I was checking around some NeoGaf topics and I saw this crazy ass game rip, where some exploit was used for unlimited ammo, and made the 2nd half of the map insane. My initial reason was checking on the CoD4 Maps that are supposed to be out soon. 4 new maps, $10.00 burned. I haven't played CoD4 in some time, but I'll hit it up again someday I'm sure. :lol: Link to comment
Xerxes Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Im personally not that big into Cod, I much prefer Halo on the console. Link to comment
Pic0o Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Im personally not that big into Cod, I much prefer Halo on the console. That is a brave statement to make on the Internet, but I do agree with you. The Deathmatch itself seems a bit stronger then Halo 3, but I certainly feel Halo as a whole offers much more then CoD4 does. The Co-Op is awesome, and hopefully remains a staple for years to come. Also, CoD4 not having the ability for split-screen live play is extremely damning IMO. I did like the Cod4 Single Player, but Halo 3 also crushed CoD's, more a less due to length, challenge, and attempt at a coherent plot. I do enjoy the Domination mode in CoD4, but I agree that Halo 3 gives you more for your money. I can understand why so many people want to downplay Halo 3, as most of the insane console shooter fans were probably playing it daily and hungered for more. Also add that I feel the level system in CoD4 is excessive and overpowered, especially for the non-capped players, due to the Weapons and Perks. I can't remember the last time I went shooter online. :lol: Link to comment
