Black Ops 3 Beta Optimizations

  Set the CPU priority to high, here is how to make a shortcut and always launch BO3 in high priority. Don’t alt-tab from the game, appearantly it can break the priority.

In your steamapps folder, locate the BO3 Beta folder and go inside the “players” folder and edit the ini file. Set the value of “ResolutionMultiplier” to 1 instead of 0.85 to get proper pixel ratio and increase visibility.

Set everything to low, disable shadows and transparency.…

My kind of gamer

Notch is my kind of gamer. I generally don’t give two cents about story in a game. My favorite games as a kid didn’t have “cinematics” or some huge complex backstories. Mario was saving a princess, Mega Man wacked a string of different themed bosses, the faceless “Marine” in Doom killed everything in his path and the dude in Quake did the same. Duke chewed bubble gum and kicked alien ass.. and that was all you needed to know.

I read the other day that ID is having problems with Doom 4..…

You want the EPA coming to your house and saying you’re violating so many laws because you’re using so much power on that gaming rig. That’s what we do as gamers. We want power.”

I partially agree. But people also wants simplicity and more efficient designs that can be always on/paused without a 100-450W drain.…

Mouse sensitivity MW3 bug fix

Update dec 2012:
This issue also exists in Black Ops 2 but it’s a bit more subtle/rare – the fix is the same though!

I used to have some problem
with the mouse sensitivity in MW3 skyrocketing and then being normal and then skyrocket again and so on.

I read on various forums that turning off FRAPS would help, only problem is I dont use FRAPS or have any software like that running. Also read that lowering the pulling rate on my gaming mouse would help – I did not care for this since its one of the reasons I bought it.…

My first MOAB

by

Ended the parental leave with a nice game of MW3. To my surprise I got a MOAB :) Awfully sick of people bitching about cheaters however, they ruin the game more than actual cheaters (to my knowledge I’ve only met one or two and one glitcher).…

Battlefield 3

LOL. A little disappointed by BF3 for some reason though. I can spend 30 minutes in the game and get like 12 kills. Kind of a pain in the ass that it requires a good squad.…
