Preface: I will start by saying that I am referring to the multiplayer of the franchise rather the Single Player or other modes that would appear in the game.
I have always liked the Call of Duty video games series. They have been “fun”, “exciting”, “enjoyable”.
But now we are over-saturated with them. Ever since Modern Warfare 2, the franchise has gone downhill. Modern Warfare 3, Ghosts, Black Ops and Black Ops 2 have been overall a disappointment to the name of “Call of Duty”.
So a few days ago, A group of guys released a Multiplayer Mod for the game Just Cause 2 by Square-Enix and with that, they also released dedicated server files for it.
So, I put the files on my server to see how it would go. Let’s just say…It has been a success!
I started by putting some mods that people were using on other servers such as FreeRoam and Boost (which is kinda essential if you want to have a good server).
So, with tweaking and playing around with different mods and help from a good friend Pricetx, Gamers and Geeks has become a fairly popular server. I started out with 50 slots thinking that no one would ever come on the server and as of today, I have increased those slots to 100 in hopes that everyone can play.
The only problem that I am going to face sooner rather than later is usage, we are trying to push a lot of content and stuff on a Atom N2800 processor which is asking a lot from the server to produce, but I am confident that we will be able to work around it and hopefully have a smooth running server!
Do you have Just Cause 2 and would like to join our server, click here moogle.gamersandgeeks.net and you will instantly join the server.

Everyday technology changes. New products are being made and current products are being improved. New phones, new tablets, new computers and even new game consoles.
With that, comes innovation. But it has seemed that over the past year of so…innovation in video games is…non-existent.
With the arrival of the Playstation 4 and the Xbox One. It would seem that the gaming industry is taking 1 step forward and about 2 steps back on everything.
With all the technology that is available to them…why is one of the most powerful gaming systems (the PC) being held back by new consoles. Yes, that is right. PC gaming is being held back because of consoles.
In this day and age, people expect games to be running at the very least 1080p with a damn good framerate… While you try to develop games that work on those consoles, you then simply port the game over to PC…change a file and ship it to Steam and still charge full money for it…when it doesn’t even work, low framerate etc.
This should not be happening. You should be basing your multiple platform games on the PC version and then port to the consoles…not the other way round!
2 recent games have been a victim to this…Call of Duty: Ghosts and Need for Speed: Rivals.
Those games can’t run for goddamn shit on PC’s because game developers are being lazy and not looking after the PC ports when they promise us that the PC version is going to be good (Right, Infinity Ward?). You are basing your “next-gen” titles on outdated system!
Why should PC gamers have sacrificed, butchered, molested ports of console games?
Just because you can’t get Call of Duty: Ghosts running at 1080p@60fps running on the Xbox One (Which is a laugh to begin with), doesn’t mean that the PC games should be shafted for it. WTF guys?
A lot of people are wising up that PC is a better platform for gaming in every sense. I really wonder WHY people are buying consoles when they know full on well, that they are outdated PC’s from 2008. THESE NEXT GEN CONSOLES SHOULD BE BEATING PC’S!
TL;DR – Develop for PC and then port to consoles for crying out loud!
Today marked the start of the Lightning Farron event in Final Fantasy XIV!
It is spanned over 4 chapter which a new one being released every 2nd day starting today! (So, Ch1 is today, Ch2 is 16th, Ch3 is 18th and Ch4 is 20th) and the event runs through until the 9th of December which the event returning in February 2014 when “Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII” is released on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
Since the event was over before it had even started, here is a couple of screenshots and a video showing Lightning’s Sword that she uses in the game.
UPDATE: I GOT A PICTURE OF LIGHTNING! *squee*
2 days and I still haven’t been able to launch the game. This is getting out of hand.
No word from the devs or anything. @ATVIAssist doesn’t want to help PC players who payed good money for this game. No one seems to have tested this game other than Windows Vista to make sure that the game works.
Come on Activision/Infinity Ward. Sort your shit out.
EDIT: It took a WHILE but I got it working and I decided to post the fix on PCGamingWiki. Link to fix.
