Call of Duty:Modern Warfare.......*3* - Page 325

I'm starting to wish I still had a PC that could run diablo 3....I wonder how my 9600GT would fare nowadays...

Hoping my laptop will run it - can't remember what I upgraded my video card to when I bought it, but it was in anticipation of playing D3. I'll have to take a look.

Edit - any input on whether or not this will run D3?

I'd be surprised if it DIDN'T run it! My XPS dates from 2008 and has a 256m 2900XT and I plan on buying diablo 3!

It's blizzard, their games run on anything!

Edit: ok, reasonably sure it's a radeon 2900...

True...I guess it ran SC2 pretty well, but def far from max settings.

Wish they released the console port day and date. Part of me just wants to hold out, but knowing blizz, it'll be out in another 4 years.

I've never known Blizz to put much emphasis on console ports. Was Diablo 2 ever released on a console? It was a while ago, so forgive me if I'm way off here.

Yes, I probably will need to run it at considerably lower than max settings but... It's diablo. I mean, I'm just clicking on stuff. Not too worried about how pretty it looks as long as the loot keeps dropping!

Your bottleneck would be the video card. Their minimum recommended card is an X1950 pro, which has a faster core clock and twice the memory bus, but less and slower memory. I would think it would probably run it, but you'll have to turn some goodies off.

Was nice seeing you online again and you didn't miss a beat even with the new maps.

I'm trying to resist Diablo 3. I don't have a machine that can run it and I definitely don't have the time to get addicted to something like that, lol.

They released diablo 1 on ps1, and Starcraft on n64....but nothing since then. Still, they've been pretty public about wanting to bring d3 to consoles.


So...typical blizzard.

Wonder how non-committal blizzard could be if they didn't have the 800 lbs gorilla of WoW making money for them?

I feel the same way about Valve sometimes. Wonder how quickly HL3 would make it to mkt if they didn't have steam revenue to keep them fat and happy?

Unlike blizz, valve at least ships games on a constant basis. They announced D3 what, 4 years ago? Takes them 3 years to make a SC expansion?

It's pretty easy to forget that activision and blizzard are technically the same company. I def give them massive credit for not screwing up blizzard like EA did to bioware.

Don't give them too much credit-- I think blizzard may have been the larger of the two companies in the activision/blizzard merger! Lol! More of a 'we want what you have so let's do this' merger whereas the EA / bio ware thing was more lopsided.

But yes, I agree it takes blizzard WAY too long to release ANYTHING. Diablo is an OLD property but t least they have the WoW kiddies to sell to. I sometimes worry about valve as half-life is their biggest property and they're just wasting it... Pretty soon no one is going to remember the first two let alone PLAYED them! Lol! In a CoD/Madden world where games release every year the attention span of the buying public is getting so short-- not saying we need a new HL every year but one a DECADE would be nice!

We just got Portal 2 last year, what more do you want?!

Left 4 Dead 3!

Right? They're pumping those left 4 dead games out like crazy!

Yes, Portal 2 was awesome-- but I need some Gordon Freeman in my life!

I think theory says this, but in fact many or all in a lobby/party were affected.


In regards to this,there are some interesting tidbits here:

I know the whole "lag comp" idea has been beaten to death here, but it is real. Although it's not lag comp.

Listened to the first 10 minutes, where he says how they're changing the matchmaking from finding a best average ping for the party, to just going by the party leader. He's presenting it as a solution to the problem. But it's really not. It's just going to make it so that some people are fine, and some are screwed, every time. Its just a different way of doing things, not necessarily better. Hopefully this is just an option and not a forced change.

The only problem it really solves is that you can make the biggest whiner the party leader, who will then have the priority connection. That way you can control the amount of bitching everyone has to listen to. I guess that does sorta solve the problem.

I dunno why he jumps to the conclusion that in theory this makes the lag comp work better.

Finished listening to that video. British guy generally knows what he's talking about. I'm not with him on some of his conclusions or tweaks, but he's got his facts straight about how it works.

Do you hear that, Pill? Our incessant bitching might actually just get us someplace in this game after all! Lol!
But first we have to decide who's worse-- I'll grab my spas12 and meet you in groundwar!

Or is steelhouse's wife the odds on favorite!?

Does a unicorn sh!t in the woods?

Not sure if I'm comfortable knowing that much about you Myst!

Shes definitely the favorite when you factor in the bitching about camping while camping yourself!

I just bitch every single time I die. I should really download those new maps sometime eh?

Let me know if you do, I'll add you back to my friends list.

Contrary to popular belief I DON'T bitch about dying-- I bitch about my bullets/shells passing right through people. Dying is just what happens to occur immediately afterward!

Prestige levels getting raised to 20 on consoles soon. I'm sure Conman will be at 20 in a week :-)

I apologize to pimp, sahello and others for rage quitting. no mas for me tonight. unbelievable lag ****

Awwwww sorry I missed you, Daekwan. I didn't get home from the bar until 3. I definitely was not planning on being out that late, and I'm paying for it at work right now. Hope I can catch up with you sometime soon!
