How to have fun in MW3!

Having fun in Modern Warfare 3 is easy, but you have to follow these steps exactly the way they are written. Remove your MW3 disk, put in you Black Ops disk, and start playing. Seriously guys, know one realized just how great Black Ops was when we were all playing it, the game is awesome. Personally, I think it is the best CoD so far, and by far.

I think Black Ops is such an awesome game for two reasons, the first is the lack of bull-shit. This game doesn't have anything, that is common, super-annoying, and easy easy to use. Every thing that is annoying is difficult to earn, or not worth using. Such as ghost, the game is so fast paced, that nobody stares at their radar, and Flak Jacket is so awesome there isn't a reason to use the lowly Ghost perk.

The second reason is the maps. The maps in Black Ops provide a great balance between power positions, and fast paced action. Such as Summit, there is cover, but not overpowered areas with tons of cover and few entrances. Summit is very fast paced, but not chaotic, it is very possible to play a more tactical style. Another excellent map is Firing Range. This map has two really great power positions, but it is nearly impossible to occupy both, and they can be easily entered and grenaded.

So jump on Black Ops when you get a chance, and open your eyes to the best CoD so far! Thanks for reading, subscribe on the right for more, and share my blog with your friends.

Current thoughts on Infected

Infected has been out on public playlists for a while now, and the hype has died down since release. Infected is still very fun, but is almost impossible to survive, making for a very frustrating game. The most frustrating way to die is by the throwing knife, people will spawn and throw their throwing knife, die, and repeat. What is frustrating about this is that they are bound to hit one out of thirty throws, even though it doesn't take any skill. Another frustrating way to die is by a lone wolf. What I mean by this is someone who manages to sneak behind you and your teammates and knock out three or four people.

From the other side of the spectrum, the infected still have a very touch time. Instead of camping in places that are hard to reach, the survivors camp in the places in which throwing knives can't reach. Also, the throwing knife is very hard to use, unlike the tomahawk from Black Ops, which had a bit more velocity.

Overall infected is fun to play when you are just messing around, but when you want to succeed and do well, infected is a nightmare. If you liked this post, please subscribe on the right, and share it with your friends. Thanks

PC Gaming Computer

MW3: Quick Tip for Search and Destroy

My quick tip today is very simple, yet very applicable. The tip is to not die, this may seem simple and obvious, but if you think about it, it makes sense. In search, there is often a direct correlation between numbers of players alive and winning percentage. So when playing search, don't take that aggressive rush route in hopes of a quad-feed. Instead take a route where you know you will encounter gunfight that you can easily win. As for how to not die, avoid open areas, such as the middle of Lockdown, or the middle of Carbon. Also, do not ever enter an area where the enemy has cover. Always flank when possible. Using these tactics I often go flawless in Search, and a lot of the time, I don't take even one bullet.

Thank you for reading, I hope you take this tip and apply it to your tactical play-style. If you liked this subscribe on the right with the method of your choice.

What I want in Black Ops 2

I am going to make a series of this, and make these posts up to the release of Black Ops 2. I will name and explain one thing I want in each post. This post I am going to start with a very touchy topic, maps.

I am not one to study map trends, or come up with crazy formulas to make a perfect map. I know what maps I like and don't like, and I think most people agree with me on the best maps. My first suggestion is to bring back the "3 way" maps. These are maps that have three paths to get from one side to the other. In the first Black Ops, almost all of the maps were like this. In MW3, a few carry this "3 way" characteristic. Such as Mission, Hardhat, Bootleg, and Resistance. This "3 way" deign creates choke-points where fighting can occur. This means if your team can hold down these three paths, you will almost certainly win. Another advantage of this design is that it is difficult to camp with this design. There aren't many buildings with this design, meaning that the campers have to be outside, where they are vulnerable.

My second and last suggestion is that maps smooth surfaces, rather than having a ton of rubble everywhere. This rubble makes it very difficult to see guns and people on the ground. I liked in Black Ops how the surfaces were not anywhere near the same color as the players. People camp enough as is, we don't need to add camouflage for anyone laying prone.

Denon AVR-1611 Review: Hardware

This my current home entertainment hub, all of my devices connect to this and it outputs sound to my headphones or speakers and 1080p video to my monitor. Over a couple posts I am going to be taking a look at this complex device and give you a final verdict at the end. Today I am going to start with the hardware and functions of this device

This device holds plenty of components, up to four HDMI components, and two options from digital audio. The RCA inputs can travel along the HDMI due to the up-scaling. This converts the lower quality up to a higher quality for use on an HD television. The banana plugs for speakers are great if you move things around a lot, and provide a great connection for your speakers.

The nob on the right is for volume, it is not that sensitive, making it easy to make small adjustments. The nob on the right is for changing the source. As you turn the nob it shows on screen what source you are on. The rest of the buttons are self explanatory.

My favorite feature of this device is the awesome sound. The made my Bose speakers sound much better than they did with my old Sony receiver. Another great sound component of this is the surround sound decoding. The surround sound envelopes you in crystal clear sound. This is great for gamers.

This product packs the hardware necessary for almost anyone, and also has enough power for any speakers or headphones. Thank you for reading this post! If you liked it and ant to see more content about gaming and technology products subscribe on the right via E-mail, Google, or Yahoo.

MW3: How to level up fast!

Were getting to that time again where people are tired of working through the prestige's and want to just be max rank. I am here to give some tips, and a class setup to help you reach the level you have been striving for.

The best play-style is always going to be objective, play game modes such as Domination, Sabotage, Demolition, and other games modes that give out a lot of XP for caps and plants. Get as many caps/defuses/plants as possible. Also, make sure you win the game, your match bonus is almost quadruple when you win a game.

Another tip that I have used since MW2 is to use challenges to your advantage. Go to your barracks, then to challenges and look through all of the categories and write down a couple that you are close too. Pay close attention to marksman challenges for different weapons, or the "Basic Training" challenges, which are really easy to get. During the game, while you are playing the objective, try to complete as many challenges as possible.

The following class can be used on any map and when combined with my other tips, will ensure you level up at a rate faster than all of the competition.

MP7 w/ Ext. Mag. and Silencer
Stinger

Semtex
Stun

Sleight of Hand
Hardline
Steady Aim

Specialist Package
2: Assassin
4: Stalker
6: Quickdraw

I used this strategy to rank up at the rate of 1 prestige per 10 hours of playtime. Thank you for reading, if you were delighted by this post, or if you learned something, go ahead and subscribe on the right via E-mail, Google, or Yahoo.

The New iPad: I'm Impressed

If you didn't already know "The New iPad" came out yesterday. It includes a brand new retina display, with about 3 million pixels. It has the same AMD dual-core processor, which is slightly disappointing, but the quad-core graphics make up for it in numbers. I saw a game being played on "The New iPad", it placed the user in the cockpit of a fighter jet. It was awesome, it looked like a console game being played on a tablet.

These new features give a new identity to the iPad in my opinion. I used to think of the iPad as just a web-browsing, multimedia device. Now I think it can compete with the PSP Vita and Nintendo DS. After all, with graphics better than both of those systems, "The New iPad" might just be the new king of portable gaming.

The last topic I would like to touch on about the third generation iPad is the front-facing camera. The rear facing camera is a 1080p 5 megapixel camera, which is solid. The front facing camera is VGA, need I say more? I realize that Apple sincerely believes people walk around with their iPad shooting video, but come on Apple, can you make the front facing camera the good one? Is that too much to ask? This may be nit-picking, but wait until you hear the name of the camera.(yes, they did name a camera on a tablet) They call it the "iSight". I don't need to explain the issue here.

MW3: Search and Destroy Tactics

I don't play much Search and Destroy, but a lot of people do. Search is the fourth most popular game mode in MW3, but Why? Is it the high XP per kill? The slow paced game-play? The teamwork required to win? Today I'm going to tell you two reasons why many people play search, and two reasons why I don't play Search.

The first reason why a lot of people play Search is the high XP per kill. In search you obtain 500 points per kill, and 1100 for a head-shot. There is also big bonuses for planting the bomb. The high XP numbers give people the illusion that they are gaining a lot of XP, when they are really gaining about as much as they would in Domination.

The second reason why many people play search is because they think it is a game mode that takes skill, when in reality, it is the opposite. In Search and Destroy, your lives are very limited, thus making each death more rage-inducing then in a game type like Domination. When you get killed by a grenade off the spawn, and don't have a chance to help your team, it is very annoying. So Search and Destroy doesn't take skill to win, it mostly luck, because if you are lucky you can pick a lot of easy kills. Luck in search can be as simple as a triple grenade kill, or a lucky throwing knife. Luck plays a huge role in Search due to lives being so limited.

The first reason why I don't play Search is because it amplifies bull-shit. Such as portable radar, if someone throws a portable radar near you, you won't know. The person will know exactly where you are and you won't know where they are, making for an easy kill. Another example is snipers. If a sniper pulls off a lucky shot, that I could not control, it makes me very frustrated with the game.(and that player) To conclude this point, Search results in more annoying tactics that don't give me a chance to help my team win.

The last reason I hate Search is because of the way the objective is setup. When on defense, you only have to find a good piece of cover, and camp the bomb sites. When attacking you must overcome campers, and plant the bomb, which makes a lot of noise and anyone with a headset can easily wait for the briefcase to be opened, then pop out of hiding and kill the planter. The last part I hate about the objective is that the bomb is visible to the defenders. This makes for a game of camping as soon as the defenders find and kill the bomb carrier.

All in all Search isn't my cup of tea, tell me in the comments below what you think of Search. Why do you play it? Why don't you play it? As always, if you want to see more great content subscribe on the right via E-mail, Google, or Yahoo.

Chrome vs. Firefox

I was a Chrome fan-boy, I wouldn't touch anything else. Until recently when my beloved Chrome browser had an issue with Flash. I couldn't visit any websites that ran Flash. I cried for days, weeks,(well, maybe I didn't cry) my favorite browser had the infamous shock-wave crash. I tried many solutions, but none of them worked.

Against what I usually believe in, I downloaded Firefox. After neglecting the fact that it might have any advantage over Chrome, I realized Chrome was not the king any longer. Firefox was great, with Adobe Flash 11, hundreds of add-ons, and great customization.

Today was the big step in the process, I transferred all of my bookmarks and saved pages onto Firefox. Finally I(gulp) uninstalled and deleted my wife old browser, Chrome.

I realized that Chrome wasn't the best browser for me anymore, I encourage you guys to try out another browser you have been neglecting. You just might like it better than your current browser. I know I did, also if you have problems with Chrome, ask me for help, I know everything about that damn shock-wave error.

MW3:Top 10 Favorite Maps in Modern Warfare 3

1.) Hardhat- This map has three main choke-points that are easy to hold down from either side. It also has short and long lines of sight. My favorite part of this map is that it doesn't have crap laying all over it. cough*interchange*cough

2.) Mission- This map is very close quarters but has some long range areas for all you QuICkSCopEz wannabe's.. This map is also very good for kill streaks as there is only one building that can be entered.

3.) Dome- This map is a favorite of many, and why not? It is small and very high action. I like the predictable spawns and all of different areas of the map.

4.) Bootleg- This map has many different areas you can fight in, and there generally isn't much flanking, making it great for any gun. Another aspect of this map that I like is the theme, I love the China-town decor going on in this map.

5.) Village- This map is great for air support, and it includes two main areas to fight in, both of which are balanced from either side. I also like how grenades can be thrown to any flag from the middle area.

6.) Outpost Seatown- This map is built like a Black Ops map, but I think that is why I enjoy it. There are two power positions in the middle of the map and I enjoy fighting over them constantly. I also love the spawns on this map, they are easy to predict.

7.) Arkaden- This map is super cool and provides for a great SMG experience. I have always been a fan of multi-level maps and this one isn't an exception, the "B" flag is perfectly positioned and is very difficult to take, making team-work a must.

8.) Carbon- This map is very cool, I like all of the cover in the middle of the map. I also love the cat-walks over the map, they provide easy pickings on all of the bad players.

9.)  Resistance- This map is fun to play with pretty much any gun. Point-streaks do pretty well here, especially reapers. One complaint about this map is all the cars, I usually sit in my spawn for the first two minutes of the game to avoid 3+ deaths from exploding cars.

10.) Underground- I love the flow of this map, it is easy to get where you want to go without going around tons of trains... oh wait. Other than the trains I enjoy the inside area, makes shotguns a viable weapon choice.




16.) Outpost- This map sucks.
