Call of Duty: Infinite What Happened?

Infinite What Went Wrong

There's no need. This is the perfect time to copy Battlefield, instead of going off an an interstellar tangent.

Oh wait, they did copy Battlefield 2142. Previous statement regretfully retracted.

Although, I didn't expect the critical out-lash surrounding this not-so-highly-anticipated upcoming title.

You see, I didn't mind Black Ops III at all. The campaign (I am the only one who plays them?) was a mixture of Modern/Advanced Warfare and I found the Nightmare mode a nice bit of extra-content.

Although in any Black Ops game, I play zombies. Only zombies. In multiplayer, I'm always on the killcam - as the one being killed. I got scalped once.

Zombies mode has come a long way since useless barricades and lazy enemy repeats. Between every map, my tactics shift; and it's gotten more challenging over the years, even as the "story" gets more convoluted (btw what happened to Richtofen?)

I started out with Goldeneye, Doom and Ghost Recon. Then only Battlefield 2.

It wasn't until Modern Warfare, Call of Duty has been my go-to FPS of the year since; mainly because it's actually released every year, unlike Battlefield's two-year (now three year) development cycle.

I liked Battlefield 3 a lot though. The story was like a fast-paced 2011 Modern Warfare and for aforementioned reasons, I never even thought of launching multiplayer. I'm honestly laughably terrible.

Which is a little strange, because I fare decently well in any 3rd-person shooter like The Division sans Dark Zone.

Battlefield 4 has nice looking environments although its premature release spawned a hoard of bugs and virtual pitchfork bearers, spewing even more vitriol post Mass Effect 3 ending. Yikes EA. At least you guys have DICE.

I skipped Hardline for obvious reasons; I prefer GTA online, thanks though.

CoD seemed to have abandoned its roots though over the past two years and I'm not quite sure what's happening with Infinity Ward circa MW3.

Battlefield 1 though (name is not at all confusing) assuming it's a reboot, is returning to its very essence, WWI. That's impressive and in game industry terminology, it's called being "innovative".

Not necessarily inventive, as it may be Battlefield 1942 with a setting of minus 25 years.

In the FPS world it's called progressive.

vRAM - 4 GB vs 2 GB

Get much for an extra $50? Take the NVidia GTX 960, for example. This mid-range card offers 2 GB and 4 GB versions, respectively -- at about a $50 discrepancy between the two cards. That being what the cost of a whole new game, for some, this makes the world of difference. GTA V A memory-hungry game to the fullest; where the more vRAM, the better. That is, the 970's 3.5 GB is just about the bare minimum, to run this game at max, 60 FPS. The 960's 4 GB are not fully taken advantage of on the lower GM206 Maxwell architecture. Therefore any additional vRAM here would be best for a more constant frame rate, with less dips and stutters between lowest and highest framerate. While this can be easily rectified with vSync enabled - you do get about 3-5 FPS higher on the four GB model of the GTX 960. You can enable far more advanced graphics options in GTA V with 4 or more GB of vRAM - namely ancillary settings like higher population density, depth of view,

Review of the Alienware Graphics Amplifier

Laptop VS Desktop? Have both. What is a "graphics amplifier"? In essence an external GPU you can plug right into your system. Many companies have tried to release these onto the market, but sadly many haven't gotten past announcement phase. Users either resort to painstakingly building custom external graphics cards with components purchased all over the web or simply tossing aside their laptop and building a $10000 gaming PC for their graphics power needs. Both are acceptable, but Alienware and Razor (or any other company to announce one aain) give you another option: a mini-tower outfitted with a build-in PSU and cooling fan for your graphics power needs. Easier and More Flexible Wouldn't it be great to bring your laptop to work, coming back to your home office 2 hours later and gaming away as if it were that $10000 desktop? What a versatile workstation! No stray red, black and yellow cables sticking out of a shoebox or melted GPUs.
