Infection isn't a fucking difficult gamemode to develop. It's slayer with the caveat of when red team dies they switch to blue team. If they've managed to make a fairly complex gamemode that not only combines three previous modes but add a new object with new physics and textures.

If you can do that, I'm calling bullshit on entering a small line of code that says

"(on death)
if deathconditions = suicide OR deathconditions = betrayal
               Respawn
Else if playerteam = red
            playerteam = blue
            respawn"

Replace specifics for code language as needed. All code operates on the same principle.

I've just done 343's job in like, 16 seconds. Can I have a cut of those fucking microtransactions yet?

I  hope 343 doesn't fuck it up again like what they did to it in Halo 4.

That would imply a level of competency they've already proven they don't have.

Halo 5 is a great competitive Halo multiplayer game. Unfortunately, that's all it is.

That last scene was completely unnecessary. Don't get why they felt the need to include that tbh
probs to show that her power is not her own.

Yeah but they could have just shown the face and we'd get the message

I'm assuming they assassinated Doran so they can just get rid of Dorne and everything to do with it as quick as possible.

Maybe it's because you're a little boy playing a game that's for real men. I'm thinking once you get older you will be able to either appreciate or understand things that are made for real men.

You mean this real game, with real men and real guns, about a real war?

The Walking Dead. It's probably on an equal with GoT, I'd say.

The Walking Dead is the western equivalent of Shonen Anime that exist for the sole purpose of milking itself for all eternity. There's intriguing plots and characters and all but after a while it dawns on you that the Zombie Apocalypse is never going to end and They're never going to find One Piece either.

aside from the fact that by the point the comics are at, the majority of the walkers are rotted away to nothing and it's mainly just rival groups fighting

but okay

Forward Unto Dawn was pretty good. It was Nightfall that was a lot worse.

I thought WWZ was a pretty enjoyable zombie flick.
It's leagues worse if you're a reader of the book though. What Paramount did to the source material is like HBO having Ned Stark survive to kill all the Lannisters in S1, then have him teleport behind the Nights King and stab him with a katana in S2 while he winks at the camera.

ugh

The book should've been adapted to a show with each character having their own episode or something. Do it like one of those documentaries you see on the discovery channel or something. But that god-awful film has ensured we'll never get anything decent because copyrights and shit. A shame, I wanted to see the battle at yonkers in live action too.

£800 for just the machine is p great fam.
i dunno about motherboards but you're obviously playing total war so get at least an i7 cpu and a 970 gpu, you can get them in the low £200 if you jew around a little. 16gb ram is enough too
yeah i mean it's gonna clean me out for a while but I think it'll be worth it e.e

quick look on newegg shows about £220 for the 970 and £240 for the i7 which seems reasonable, iirc the GPU/CPU are the really expensive bits of a computer
that'd leave about £350 for er case, psu, motherboard and the ram right?
yeah i think you might be able to squeeze the rest into that. i have a laptop and with it's cpu, gpu and 12gb ram i get 59fps solid on shogun 2 at very high 1080p.

also see if you can get a small SSD for the OS that'l help a lot, then for everything else a normal hard drive is fine
I mean I can go over that if I need to, but that'd probably mean delaying it by a few weeks, if I hold off for say a month I could bump it up to £1k (ish) but I'd kinda prefer to be able to buy games for it when it's built you know >_>
yeah tru tru, i mean from what i've been searching an i5 could do well but i guess wait for some other opinions, you could squeeze in everything to 350
what would be the other stuff I'd need to get
i'm sure i'm missing something but

CPU
GPU
RAM
Motherboard
HDD/SSD
Case
PSU

or does that cover it?

Cooling. CPU Fan, regular fan, heat sinks, watercooling (depending on what you want). Don't want your shit to melt.
Ah yeah, which would be the most efficient? and which would be easiest to clean for dust because this house is a bit prone to it.

Watercooling you'd have to clean the filters every now and then. Fans I don't think you'd have to do much. I don't rrally know much about that aspect so you'd be best off asking someone else.
might just go with a fan then

the problem with my laptop is I can't really open it up to clean it out so I guess that's less of a problem with a tower

Yeah. To me, the problems with water aren't worth the benefits. I'd go with fans just for convenience- I can handle a bit of noise.

Oh, in regards to RAM. If you're going for 16GB, get two 8GB sticks. It'll be a bit better for the same reasons as the hard drive thing.
Yeah that would have been my intention, the corsair 16gb pack (2x8gb) seems to be pretty highly reviewed across the board. Is that a good one to go for?

I'd presume so, if it's got a lot of good feedback.

I'd use a site like pcpartspicker to assemble your chosen build beforehand so it can tell you if there's any incompatabilities or whatever, just in case.

Get a smaller SSD and a larger HDD so you can have your OS on the SSD and your files on the HDD. Best of both worlds.

Is there any disadvantage of using just an SSD over having both? I understand the cost of a single large SSD is pretty huueeg, but I'm talking performance wise.

Retreiving files from one drive will be slower than retrieving from two

Like, if I store photoshop on one drive but store my files on another, it's faster because while both drives are bringing up files at the same time where one drive would be bringing them up one at a time.

Also SSDs have a limited number of writes. For most purposes it's irrelevant but they have a shorter shelf life than a disk, so it's something to consider.

2 way SLI on your GPUs would be a good idea to balance out the load if one GPU starts handling most of the data. Presuming you go for two graphics cards.

Otherwise, 16GB RAM would be better as two 8GB cards.

Get a smaller SSD and a larger HDD so you can have your OS on the SSD and your files on the HDD. Best of both worlds.

Your CPU will probably want around 4GHz speed. Elsewise, you're best off looking at what games you want to play now (IE Battlefield, Fallout, etc (I'm assuming)) and use them as a baseline for your specs.
Going by the amount of whining I hear from mustard ricers about SLI not being supported for games properly, I doubt I'll bother with that.

What would be the benefits to sticking the OS on an SSD?

It's only relevant if you get two GPUs. With only one, you don't need it. I'd get two regardless if you can.

SSDs are a lot faster than disks. If you use it for the OS, your computer performs faster but you store files on a HDD because you get more storage space for the same price.

Plus, retrieving two files from two drives is a lot better than two files from one drive, anyway.
