Hello and welcome to another wonderful evening of news from our affiliates, today is November 21st and these are the following news postings for November 15th, through the 21st read on and enjoy!
Welcome to Wednesday, it's been two weeks since our last update but I wanted to take time with Black Ops
Call Of Duty: Black Ops
So we all know about the Call Of Duty series. We have been playing them for awhile now. The are the games that we all have fun with at LanOC LAN's and we play them online together. Black Ops is no different, we are back to dedicated servers which were missing in COD: MW2. Gamerserver's is the hosting company for the servers and you can join the LanOC community on our 18 slot Ranked server at LanOC Reviews. That is the name you need to search for in the server browser.
So with the launch of Black Ops last Tuesday we started hearing reports of massive problems on the PC version. First off, there was a lag issue that seems to be fixed somewhat. Here is a video that I shot while in-game the first day. The game was unplayable at this time. The forums around the internet went up in flames. People were ready to throw the towel in and call it a day.
There was also a problem with the server browser. Servers weren't showing up and and trying to add the server to your favorites list didn't work either. Gameservers.com came out and said that they back end was getting hammered with all the new players. They upgraded their servers and all seems to be running fine, NOT!
As the last week wore on more and more of our community started playing online and keep running into the same problems. Getting into our server after we added it to our favorites list most of the time doesn't work. Another problem that I have been having is when I click on Ranked Match and takes me a couple of try's to get into a match. Why in the world would the game try and connect me to a game that is already full? When I click on Ranked Match I want to transported to a game that is ready to go, not one that is already full. There is still a problem with the server browser not showing all of the servers that are live. Over the weekend I was at a LAN and was having a terrible time trying to join any server that was listed. Also, searching for the LanOC server didn't come up with any results. Whatever is happening over at Gameservers.com they need to get it figured out and fast. The game has been out for a week and the issue's with the server browser and ranked matches are still not resolved.
The issue with the lag has been better but the game is not where it should be. The system I play on is an i7 920, 6gb RAM and two GTX 480's in SLi. This setup should max out the 91 framerate cap that the developers put in the Call Of Duty games. For some reason, the framerate likes to drop every once in awhile. I know that other members of our community are having similar issues with the game. This of should of never happened. It's almost as if their Q&A department didn't even test the game. Atleast they patched the game a couple of days later but it didn't solve all of the problems that we are having. Hopefully Treyarch will keep supporting us PC gamers and make the right decisions. No one wants to play a game with loads of bugs and issues with performance.
I would like to talk about the single player aspect of the game but I am three missions in and just haven't put the time in yet. I was running into the same framerate/lag issues in the single player. I don't want to play the game until it's "Finished". I will be reporting on this game more over the coming weeks as patches are released and I can actually play the campaign with no issues.
Moving on
I am still getting through the Goldeneye single player on Wii. I am not sure why, but I am having some great experiences with this game. I guess that the games nostalgia really appeals to me. I will report my final thoughts on this game next week when I finish it. I still haven't put a significant amount of time playing the multiplayer. I really don't see myself going back to it. Sure, it is fun but with no voice chat, I bought the game more for local co-op and single player. I will let you know how the game turns out, don't worry no spoilers here.

Another LanOC Gaming News week is in the bag. Hopefully I didn't crush your expectations on Call Of Duty: Black Ops. For those of you still on the fence, I would wait a couple more weeks to let more patches come out. Then again, if you want to play with our Staff, Black Ops is what we are all playing. Until next week, this is Wingless92, your weekly Gaming News writer signing off.

USB adapter wirelessly streams 1080P content from your laptop to your 25” monitor or HDTV
SAN JOSE, California – November 15, 2010 – Warpia, a company dedicated to bringing single-chip wireless USB solutions to the mainstream, is thrilled to announce the availability of the new and improved Easy Dock Pro. The Easy Dock Pro allows you to wirelessly connect a laptop to your desktop monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers, or to your big-screen TV in HD quality.
ISLANDIA, NY -- Nov 15, 2010 -- MaxxVault LLC is proud to announce that the MaxxVaultTM document management solution is certified CitirxTM Ready. Managing the applications installed on user PCs is time consuming and expensive. Using Citrix, organizations can enable on-demand access to applications like MaxxVault, increasing the productivity of the I.T. staff as they can manage MaxxVault from one centralized location.
"Delivering access to MaxxVault via Citrix provides a tremendous advantage," said Ken Bly, CTO of MaxxVault LLC. "From an administrator's standpoint, system management is much easier. Since the users access a virtual copy of the desktop, there is only one machine that needs attention when there are system upgrades or changes. Without Citrix, administrators have to run the update on each PC that has MaxxVault installed, wasting time and money. From the users' perspective, they benefit from the rich and robust user experience that can only be provided by a thick client/desktop application. Additionally, because data is not transferred over the network (only mouse clicks and keystrokes), the MaxxVault centralized library of documents is even more secure."
As MaxxVault was built to be flexible, open, and to work with industry leaders like Citrix, obtaining Citrix Ready status was effortless. When used in conjunction with MaxxVault, Citrix provides additional cost savings while delivering the ideal user experience that can only accompany desktop application access. Citrix Ready MaxxVault makes simple document management even easier.
Sunnyvale, Calif. – November 15, 2010 – PLX Devices Inc., a premier supplier of innovative cutting edge consumer electronics, announces the availability of the XWave™ Visualizer app for iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad.

In a our fast-paced-society where everyone has become a bit “ADHD”, for the first time there is a tool that helps people grab control of their minds.
ISLANDIA, NY -- Nov 15, 2010 -- MaxxVault LLC is proud to announce that the MaxxVault(TM) document management solution is certified VMware(TM) Ready. More and more companies around the world are adopting virtualized infrastructure as it helps reduce IT costs, increase efficiency and flexibility, and improve the security of existing IT assets. With this certification, companies that are already running virtualized infrastructures can rest assured that incorporating MaxxVault into their IT environment will be successful, as well as easy, to do.
===Community Made Eyefinity/Surround Patch for COD: Black Ops===
In addition to the performance issues plaguing the Black Ops release, the title shipped without proper support for multi-monitor gaming (AMD's Eyefinity, NVIDIA Surround, or Matrox TripleHead2Go). Black Ops continues keeps the streak alive within the COD library, with no included support for these high-end systems. No COD title has shipped with support for multi-monitor setups.
Members of the WSGF continue to provide mods and patches to provide this support. The most well known is the "Widescreen Fixer" from "dopefish". His tool provides fixes for five COD titles, two Battlefield titles, the original BioShock and several other games. While Treyarch couldn't (or wouldn't) implement proper support in the 18 months of development, the WSGF provided a solution to gamers within the first 24 hours of release.
We have posted a 1080p video comparing the unpatch and patched games, to show the poor state of the original release and the improvements in the fan-made patch. - http://www.youtube.com/wsgf
===Deus Ex: Human Revolution Footage from AMD Tech Day Proves Excellent Eyefinity Support===
Additionally, we have footage from the recent AMD Tech Day 2010 in Los Angeles. The footage focused on titles shown in Eyefinity, and providing a glimpse at the proper Eyefinity support that Eidos is building into Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
Deus Ex Eyefinity gameplay footage from the show floor. This is not a reel or canned footage. The gameplay proves proper "Hor+" support, along with a properly centered menu/inventory and HUD - both of which maintain their proper aspect ratio. Basically the antithesis of the support provided by Treyarch: http://www.youtube.com/wsgf#p/u/1/EYufXPIKrx0
===WSGF Review of the Radeon HD 6870 and 6850 with Eyefinity Benchmarks===
The WSGF is one of the few sites providing benchmarks in both widescreen and multi-monitor. We've been testing and benchmarking multi-monitor systems since the Matrox TripleHead2Go, and have continued that trend through the AMD Eyefinity and the NVIDIA 3D Vision Surround. Our recent review of the HD Radeon 6870 and 6850 tested seven games in both widescreen and Eyefinity, in both single and CrossFire configurations.
