Ok, i’m not really a huge fan of first-person shooters, but I’ve gotta say Call of Duty 4 has definately shifted my opinion of them.
I’ve been playing for a few months, at first only on the single player campaign, and very recently I thought I would go online to try out the multiplayer. It can be tough going, especially if you’re a newbie, so here’s a selection of tips to help you out:

1) Learn the maps.

I know, it seems obvious, but this is key to doing well online. To familiarise yourself, without getting killed all the time, run a system link game on your own, and get to know each map at your own pace. Try to identify spots where enemies might hold up, such as buildings, behind walls etc.

2) Always use the sights.

At medium to long distance, using the ironsights, red dot scope, or ACOG scope on your weapon of choice will ensure a more accurate hit than firing from the hip. An exception to this would be if you are attacking in close quarters, where it would be quicker.

3) Fire in bursts.

Spray and pray is not the way to go - it makes you less accurate, and wastes ammo. Instead, shoot off a quick burst of fire, then release, then shoot another burst, then release, and so on.

4) Keep an eye on the radar.

The orange dots on the radar signify the enemy. Be aware of your position in relation to them. Most of the time the enemy show up when they fire a weapon, or when a UAV scan is called in. Be aware that in some instances, some enemies might equip a UAV jammer, or attach a silencer to their weapon, in which case they may not show up on the radar.

5) Keep mobile.

It’s not generally a good idea to stay in one spot the whole time. Fire, and move - even if you miss your target, don’t be stationary. The longer you stay still, the easier it will be for someone to pick you off.

These tips have helped me a lot in improving my game. Hopefully you will find some use for them, if you had not considered them already.

Well guys, it’s been a hard week in the office, but it’s slowly getting there. I’ve managed to set up the cyst removal london page, and Jeff’s finally sorted out the Corporate photography events page. It’s all starting to come together at last!

I found a old post written about creating animations on an old re

gular read of mine at webmastersdesk. Creating animations is easier now than it was,

and as always technology has advanced to allow some of the most amazingly detailed graphics yet. I had a go at playing Lord of the Rings online, and for an online game the images are amazing. The graphics are so good, I wouldn’t be complaining if the game was off line only. Yet with all the advances in graphics – is it really better?

A friend of mine was talking about buyinga graphics card at about £100 in order to simple be able to run a program – not to enhance it mind, just to make his machine powerful to run it! He doesn’t even know if it is any good yet – and the card will cost him more than the software Read the rest of this entry »

What with the world getting progressively smaller and  smaller the ability for people to outsouce has grown considerable. It used to be that outsourcing was mainly used as an expensive method of getting someone to take over certain parts of yourbusiness that you did not have the knowlege and skill for.

 This is mainly true, however with the birth of the internet things have changed. Now it is cheaper than ever to hire people to do work that you could easily cover yourself, as  long as it is transferrable over the web.
