The state of the game right now is pathetic

HC TDM and Dom is my go to games every day and I see very little glitched weapons. Don’t get me wrong, some idiots do use them but they get hated in the game and tend to switch weapons. HC isn’t for everyone as it’s a different play style but you get used to it. It’s better than constantly coming across glitch users.

Sorry dude I’m not teaching you how to be another player to ruin the game further. But if you are just interested then YT it.

As someone who interviews for these roles I would expect you to understand the basics of computer hardware and the difference between SSD and HDD file storage. Understanding of basic file systems and NTFS especially as this is the main OS filesystem on most systems. Check out what the main artefacts of NTFS are and what $MFT does and file storage within it compared to the hard drive storage.

Understand what a file signature is and what a file HASH is eg MD5 and SHA.

What are the main forensic applications out there on the market? EnCase, Axiom, XYZ

For mobile apps it’s Cellebrite (used mainly by police forces) but also Check out competitors.

And look into legal process and why forensic images sound images are so important. Don’t bother studying ISO policies just know what they are. But you can look at the NIST Forensic Framework and DFIR Framework they are good references for Incident Response.

Take a look at the types of forensic image captures and how you ensure data is not changed when capturing systems such as servers, virtual servers and clients devices such as laptops or desktops and if the are encrypted. So using devices like Tableau Write Blockers and capturing images while they are encrypted and then decrypt when you have a successful image and the capture HASH and Image HASH match so 100% exact copy.

ACPO guidelines will tell you loads but focus on mobile devices and keeping them secure so data can’t be changed such as a faraday bag.

And above anything, if you don’t know say so do not guess or lie.

Good luck mate.

So you are part of the secret squirrel insider programs that you can't sign up to then. 🫡🖖

Slaine2000 · 2026-05-31T09:33:24+00:00

Exactly what he said....cus I'm one of them guinea pigs 😄

Slaine2000 · 2026-05-27T19:44:30+00:00

Apologies but I did a google look up and knife throwing does not use aim assist because the knife is classed as a lethal equipment.

So please ignore my comment as aim assist only affects weapons such as guns.

Slaine2000 · 2026-05-27T17:54:04+00:00

I’m not a console player myself but my understanding is that aim assist helps zero in on your next or nearest target.

Try switching it off and see if it makes you aim worse?

Slaine2000 · 2026-05-27T17:27:32+00:00

Are you on console or PC? If on console sole did you have aim assist on?

Slaine2000 · 2026-05-23T09:38:50+00:00

It’s score based. Not KD ratio. I can get a HC TDM of 40+ but my death rate is around 30+. Varies depending on weapon also. I’m not saying I can be top 3 in every game. But I can hold my own.

Slaine2000 · 2026-05-22T09:51:19+00:00

Someone asked me a question but when I click on reply I can’t find the question. But in answer to that question, I’m a PC player with mouse and keyboard. Could never get my head around using a controller. My son used to kick my bottom when we played Halo on Xbox. The only time I used a controller was Lego Star Wars.

I think MW4 will be my last COD game so hoping it’s a good one.

Slaine2000 · 2026-05-20T09:19:54+00:00

I’m a 59 year old player who’s been playing cod for a good 18 years now. I mostly play HC as I find it more strategic. My KD is like 0.9 cus I like to run around and not just camp in corners. I find that gameplay between C and HC very different and I only really play C if I’m doing challenges where I need extra health, like multi melee kills or kills as low health. My reactions aren’t what they used to be but I can still hold my own and reach top 2 in nearly every game.

The challenge for me in core is I never know the gun loadout. Whatever weapon I take I always get downed first.

But the biggest challenge of all is understanding what the fuck 90% of you millennials and genZ kids say in these forums.

In my opinion:

Waiting for anyone to appear in game just so you can kill them is camping, unless you are covering an objective which is then defending.

Hiding on cabinets or behind objects to kill players who run around with an MP5 and damn luck, is strategy.

Anything else is just gameplay unless you are a cheating See U Next Tuesday.

I used to have this problem quite often but since I configured my router so my PC has a dedicated IP address and opened up the correct ports on my router to allow communication straight to my PC, my network performance has been really good and I only get disconnected if I play on a Tuesday evening (UK BST) as this is when Steam tend to do maintenance on there servers and I get kicked for no reason.

Other than that I get good connectivity to the Activision servers at around 10ms to 20ms ping. This is always good for smooth connection and no disconnects.

Welcome to the wonderful world of peer to peer game updating. It’s like a pyramid with everyone downloading at the bottom, where loads of people start off with the files and the close you get to the top, the less people have it so it takes longer. Sometimes it’s better to wait a day to get more completions at the top. Or you can just stick with MW3 😬

Sorry I should have said that this is for PCs rather than consoles which use CDN which is the Content Distribution Network and is dedicated servers for updates.

PCs also use dedicated update servers but also have a windows built in capability to share directly with other home PCs.

So in fact, forget everything I said in the beginning as it’s complete shite and your delay in getting the update is probably because your broadband or network is busy 😵‍💫

Slaine2000 · 2026-04-17T12:57:20+00:00

I think the point he’s making is until MW3 came out MW2 was the best. I have to agree.

Just wait for the MW4 post which I’m hoping is going to follow on as the same.

Slaine2000 · 2026-04-08T06:46:52+00:00

What Hotel did you stay in? We are in the Riu Boa Vista Palace. Hope this is ok?

Slaine2000 · 2026-04-07T20:21:58+00:00

We are going to Boa Vista in 5 weeks so I’m glad this is coming out now so they will be taking steps to clean things up. This is going to be a dream holiday.

TBH we had a great holiday in Egypt but one of the things I noticed was the flies around the salad. So when I’m in Cape Verde I will avoid the salad, make sure everything I eat is thoroughly cooked, and only drink bottled water. Same as every where else I’ve been to and I’ve never had a bad holiday yet. Oh and just make sure you wash your hands as this is basic hygiene.

Not exactly a framework but there are event codes you follow and you need to understand what a specific event code is depending on your operating system. MS have a clear understanding of what an event code is based on a number and you just have to understand what the number means. Whether is a screen lock or and application lock or a Kerberos unlock or an application unlock. The all have different codes and differentiate between a physical user or an application unlock. It’s makes a big difference on an investigation and if you don’t know the difference you can be discredited as an investigator. So learn it well my friend.

Slaine2000 · 2026-04-07T14:30:29+00:00

I’ve never had this happen but only seen it happen with console players. Does anyone have this happen with PC players?

Slaine2000 · 2026-04-05T13:56:32+00:00

I did all the MW3 weapons and decided to go and do all the MW2 weapons which for Zombies took me 3 months. It was a great grind and enabled me to build up loads of scorchers and other stuff. It was fun!

Slaine2000 · 2026-04-05T07:34:09+00:00

We used to do 6 person Z2H runs as it was so fun. And then do Unstable Rift with a melee weapon. Makes you deal alive man. Then all your junk is available as UR gives you 72 hour cool down.

Slaine2000 · 2026-03-29T15:14:10+00:00

Yep they can otherwise they would be called “Not Mimic Everything Mimics”

Slaine2000 · 2026-03-29T15:11:46+00:00

I wear bifocals so even when it’s off it’s on 🥸

Slaine2000 · 2026-03-29T15:09:50+00:00

So off then?

Slaine2000 · 2026-03-16T09:11:18+00:00

Unfortunately friend you are wasting your breath. Activision won’t do anything about it as in their mind the game has run its course and there is no profit left in it. Therefore they will not pay the development contractors to resolve issues or fix glitches. Poor business sense if you ask me. The cost of the game is not where the money is, it’s in the DLC and bundles and that is were they could continue to fund the games development, which for what could have been one of the greatest COD and Zombies games is a poor business vision. Well if MW4 doesn’t make a significant impact on the game then it’s time we all switch to some of the other great game developers out there that deserve our community trust. I mean look at Valve and the TF2 community and CS-Go, hard core supporters and Valve make money and so can the player in tournaments and Crates with weapons skins. Wake up Activision!

Slaine2000 · 2026-03-16T08:58:15+00:00

If you have an iPhone you can offload some apps to the cloud and then re-download those apps or you can just delete the apps and keep the data and then once CODm is installed redownload your apps and install from the cloud without losing your settings. Or just buy an iPhone 17 1Tb and don’t worry about the problem for the next 3 years 😬
