[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
Greets all,

I was just curious about something, I read on here about alot of different things, and I see that alot of the Android builds are being based on the Desire, or the Desire HD, saying its the closest in hardware to the HD2, but Isnt the EVO just as close?

I played with an EVO, and looking at it, it looks very close to the HD2, Yes I know the screen is more color depth and the evo uses a 1.5 snapdragon(I think), but wouldnt this be a closer match too? I'm just trying to obviously like everyone else get a Build that works flawlessly (I know nothing is flawless), and is a good match. Not ever playing with a desire or desire hd I have no clue.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] AngelDeath:
No one has a thought on this? How come more builds arent being based on the EVO?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] farangdang:
I have been wondering the same thing. From all I've heard the EVO is a very good phone, and the Android installed on it is sweet. I don't understand why nobody has ported it for the HD2. Nor do I understand why TMO won't support Android on it. If Microsoft will not support it for Windows Phone 7 then they should open it up for Android.

I've got mw and mw2 for pc and love the playability. I haven't noticed any bugs in them. I really want to get the pc version of black ops but am very worried since it's such a fast port. Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Off-topic] souljaboy:
none other than that fact that it refuses to start on single core computers (probably got good money from intel and amd)

and dont even start with that "who has single core anyway ?"

same game engine as mw2 and mw2 ran on max detail on a 2000mhz amd , also both games look like puke in todays standards

they shall burn in hell for this
[Off-topic] M3PH:
Zombie mod is still pretty buggy because it uses the crappy match making system from MW2 but the muliplayer seems to use cod4's server browser. Overall there are some bugs in it. I paid full price and wish i hadn't it's not worth it. it's not even worth paying the standard PC game price of £30. Wait till it hits half price before you buy it by then all the problems with performance, crashing, poor match making etc should be fixed.

P.S i have owned all of the COD games at one point or another. I'm a massive gamer and have been since my teens. It's just a shame activision like money, stock prices and screwing people becuase if they had left IW to do their thing MW2 and BO would have been way more enjoyable.

p.p.s on second thought you'd be better off getting MOH and then waiting for crysis 2
[Off-topic] ArabianRATA:
Oooooooooooh man I love the Crysis series, although I expected more out of Warhead. Have you played any of the Splinter Cells? I haven't played the recent one.

I noticed Infinity Ward didn't do black ops. Why did they get dropped?
[Off-topic] jeallen0:
wrong wrONG WRONG.

MW2 and BO are two diff studios producing the games, therefor CANNOT be based off of the same engine (Treyarch VS IW). If you are trying to game on a single core computer, GTFO the gaming community and go back under that rock you have been hiding under for the last 5 years. Both games look great pent up against todays current standards for online FPS games. MAX detail && MAX AA/AF @ 1920x1080 and the game looks great.

befor you go flaming a game because you cant afford a computer good enough to play it.. might wanna do some research, or actually play the game. KTHXBAI
[Off-topic] jeallen0:
There are still alot of bugs in the game. One of the few ive noticed is random client crashes/freezes... This happens on both my system and my roommates system. Both of our computers are mid/high end gaming machines and are pretty closely spec'd with a few brand differences. Another is some server side issues with random crashes/server reboots. Ive owned a BO server for almost 2 months now and its a knows issue that Treyarch/Gameservers.com are trying to work out(this happens on both gameservers.com servers and official treyarch servers).

Another bug. Say you purchase the Aug + 4 attachments. $2000(for aug) $7000(for attachments). When you prestige, the game will charge you $9000 for the aug and make you purchase the attachments all over again. IDK if this is a wide spread problem, but thats how it is for me... of course i dont mine, i play alot of wager matches or clan matches and have over $100k credits.

Infinity Ward didnt make BO because they were promised alot as a studio for MW2 but Activision didnt follow through with the promises. IW refused to make BO. Rumor has it that they are working on a title all on their own thats supposed to give the CoD series a run for its money.

Hope this information helps.
[Off-topic] M3PH:
Well my information is pretty much that except for a couple of differences. My understanding is that the 2 founders of infinity ward now have a new studio that works with EA and that half of the original IW staff quit or were fired when activision fired West and Zampella. IW didn't refuse to work with treyarch, they can't because IW is owned by activision and has been for a while. The refusal came from the founders who still own the rights to the COD brand and a few of the underlying technologies. Unfortunately this doesn't include the engines. BO does use the MW2 engine for the single player. Infact the MW2 engine is almost identical to the engine used in COD4 with the only major difference being in the multiplayer anti cheat change to VAC and the matchmaking.

In BO's multiplayer this is evident if you compare the server browser to the the one included in COD4. It has pretty much the same look and feel and the big give away is the bug that prevents you clicking on a listed entry until about 10 seconds after a refresh start. That bug is present in COD4.

Games from different developers can use the same engine. For example, the MOH single player uses the Unreal engine iirc (the multiplayer was made by Dice and so frostbite and that's also why the multiplayer looks a lot better than the campaign) and i've lost count of the amount of games that used the various quake engines. It's all a matter of licencing
[Off-topic] jeallen0:
This is true for the most part. BO is using a deviation of the engine used in WaW. its pretty obvious in gameplay. if you look at the code for the COD4 and MW2 engine, they are basically the same thing(with a few tweaks in gameplay and physics), but the engine running WaW and BO are pretty different(but similar to eachother in code style).
[Off-topic] M3PH:
The engine in WaW is as little as makes no difference identical to the COD4 engine. There has been very little evolution on it. Please bear in mind that between cod2 and cod4 (cod3 was another treyarch game and didn't feature on the PC) there was something like a 4 year gap. That gap was because IW were building the COD4 engine from the ground up. The only reason we have had a cod game every year since is that Activision (who own both treyarch and IW) are more focused on making money and not innovation. Hence no really engine improvements.

Hell, i just read an article that suggests that the real reason west and zampella were fired wasn't over bonus' but over the proposal from activision to charge a monthly subscription for the MP. It also says that Activision have brought in a third studio to help develop future releases. This only means one thing. More releases per year = more money.

Personally, after playing all (except cod3 coz I'm a PC gamer) of the cod games and then seeing the lacklustre attempt that is black ops I'm done with cod. It's been turned from a ground breaking and enthralling first person shooter into a way of conning uneducated teenagers out of their parents money.
[Off-topic] avgjoegeek:
It's too bad.. I really enjoyed WaW and COD MW2

Now I'm getting Black Ops and your all saying it's junk. At least I got it used for $35.00 bones.

And I've moved to console as it seems a lil' bit slower paced then the PC Based version.
[Off-topic] ArabianRATA:
Thanks to all, very informative! I hate to hear all the negativity surrounding black ops. I'm a console gamer to an extent but I enjoy pc gaming alot more. I guess I will wait till it drops in price before

I jump on it.

I never played multiplayer on the pc versions, I will have to check it out.
[Off-topic] jeallen0:
lol, its not ALL junk, imho i like the subtle improvements over MW2... RCXD is fun, and the wager matches are EPIC. SAS and SHP are my fav wager types. console is a bit slower paced but thats because its been dumbed down for controller use rather than a mouse and keyboard. imho its just not the same on console.
[Off-topic] souljaboy:
noob my comp would prolly **** on urs , game requrements are one thing and making code to force users to buy new stuff even if the game would run without is called fraud and ripoff , glad i pirated this pos game
[Off-topic] jeallen0:
ohh i scurred, whats your specs mr big****?

You do realize that if they coded it to run on a single core pos machine that the game would look like ****, right?
[Off-topic] souljaboy:
yea sure , a 1.6ghz hyperthreaded atom is much faster than a 3.4ghz single isnt it , too bad cod will load up on the atom and not the other one that could play it ... but why am i wasting my words ...
[Off-topic] M3PH:
Children, children, children! can we please stop the bickering and trolling and get back on topic?

The reason there is a core number restriction isn't because they are trying to rip you off its because the game engine needs the processing power. The MW engine doesn't rely entirely on the graphics card to run the math calculations required to draw the physics objects. If it did everyone would need sli or crossfire setups with 3 or 4 cards. So the restriction is actually doing us a favour because dual core cpu's are cheaper than 4 gtx580's hell a dual core cpu is cheaper than just one gtx580.

End of the day writing code to stop you playing a game when your pc doesn't meet the minimum specs is a good thing. It's telling you to actually spend some money and get a new pc coz the one you have is about to become a grandad
[Off-topic] M3PH:
Is that a question or a joke?

If it's a question then errr no not really. if anything the single core would out perform the atom.

If it was a joke then your not funny
[Off-topic] souljaboy:
if u know what ht is , it causes the os to see 2 different cores , hence , games that are hardcoded to run on 2 cores will run , on the single core , they wont .

my point is , its a silly limitation and is only to make money for cpu vendors
[Off-topic] souljaboy:
do you see urself in Saw now ? telling the old guy what he should do ? is it still a good thing ?

i dont need anyone telling me when i should , if it would require a sse4 (and utilized it) its fine , if it require dx11 gpu (and utilized it) , its fine , but pulling the carpet from single cores when it has the same engine as "world at war" which will max out on a single , gimme a break
[Off-topic] jeallen0:
obviously trying to discuss something with you is like trying to discuss something with a pre-teen just getting her rag... you will never get the point or the big picture. end of discussion.

BACK ON TOPIC.

as i said earlier, a few random client freezes, a few random server crashes, and a bug with prestiege and purchasing weapons after... but then again, what game has been perfect on launch? treyarch is working on it, and quite diligently i might add, so i give them props there.

MW2 < BO < COD4 IMHO.
[Off-topic] avgjoegeek:
Time to get with the times soulja - buy the dual core already :D

[Off-topic] vbetts:
Personally, I don't like Black Ops too much but people have had issues with bad performance due to being cpu limited. There was a patch that fixed this apparently, but I haven't seen or checked if it does give better performance.
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
Here's my take on PC requirements... GET A FRKN CONSOLE!

Seriously, PC gaming is expensive. I just spent about 500USD upgrading my rig to match my monitor (1920x1080) just so that I can finally enjoy gaming at a level that is acceptable.

Complaining about dual-core vs. single-core is complete BS. Dual core CPUs have gone mainstream for more than 5 years. Multicore CPUs are the NORM for PC nowadays, and you're really in a deep hole if netbooks have better processor tech than your desktop PC. Let's not even go into the benefits of going dual core vs staying single core.

So, if your PC couldn't play the latest games, its high time to consider getting a console. Graphics on the PC will always be better than the console and that is probably the only reason I stick with my PC.

Stop whining and man up.

And getting back on topic...

I think COD:BO is more similar to COD:WaW than COD:MW. The graphics requirement definitely went up and so did the look and feel of it. I stopped playing BO before my PC upgraded, so I might get back into it once I'm done overclocking and testing the rig.

But then, there are more than a few complaints about the COD series... stupid AI, allergy to doorknobs and over-the-top scripting and acting not withstanding...

At least in MoH I get to kick open doors and AI teammates will let you know where's the enemy...

So the nexus s has a q&a section now and the epic doesn't...

What's the reason, again?
[Epic 4G General] galaxywhat?:
Something I noticed... all of the GSM Galaxy S phones have one, but the cdma ones don't.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
I think all the hyped up, doing well phones get a q&a

the epic gets less love compared to the rest of the galaxy line

And especially the evo

I can't get the status bar to be all black. It starts white and when I change it through cyanogenmod settings it's got the gradient.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] SicNside:
Changing the settings in cynaogenmod in the user interface tweaks is just to change the color of the text in your status bar such as your clock and stuff. Flashing the .zip changes the status bar. If it didn't work try going into your settings user interface and reset defaults before flashing

Im seeing alot of people saying themes are not working on tazz froyo Themes that make changes to the menu, And when i tried to use darkhorse or elegant steel on tazz it bootloops when aplying the menu.

So, ever since I figured out which version of this works for Nonsensikal 16.1 (the Celb 4.1 version btw), I've noticed my phone is actually faster. I'm not sure why, but the phone is snappier, smoother, faster, overall performs better when I use this theme. I've tried going back to the stock vanilla, and it slows down almost immediately. Its been like this for about a week now. So, SicNside, I thank you for not only making a kick-ass theme, but also for somehow improving the overall performance of my phone lol
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Shittles:

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] It IS Lupus:
Are the animations there. I've noticed disabling the animations really helped, one reason I switched back to celb
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] cmajpwc:
Yes. Well, not all the Gingerbread animations, such as the orange bar at the bottom of the screen when you scroll and stuff, but transitions between menus, pop ups, in other words every animation that came with the rom that I can think of is enabled on my phone right now. I haven't used Celb, but I have used FroShedYo, and I think, especially now, my phone has been faster than it ever has been before. Its a shame Nonsensikal won't get updated anymore, but I'll stay with it a while with how smooth it is running.

Plus, it looks like Gingerbread! Even if the Eris doesn't get a stable release of it that is as good as the FroYo roms out there now, I'm fine with waiting lol
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] Skyllos:
I kind of felt the same away about lucid, but i dont see how its possible. Unless the minimal effect in the theme would create a less of a graphic buffer but beats me i think it might be for atleast me a placibo affect
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] cmajpwc:
I'm not sure if thats the case, considering I had no idea what the performance of the device would be after installation (after all, its just a theme). The only thing I can think of is, as you said, its less graphics-intensive. Either way, its still amazing.
