The grenade launcher is pretty much in CoD FOR new players, it's not near the most effective way to play, hence why many players stop using it, but if you're new you can get yourself some kills easily with it as you learn maps etc. You said they're pretty similar even though they're quite different games. If those 3 are your problems with the two then it doesn't have to be military shooters that involve the same mechanics, lots of games are unbalanced and tough to learn. Unless all guns are exactly the same thing it's impossible to balance your game really.
Call of Duty is literally one of the easiest game series to play [editline]27th December 2013[/editline] ever.

Call of duty isn't easy in comparison to most shooters. Most shooters used to be arrow keys, mouse, spacebar, numbers for weapons. Then call of duty comes along with ironsights, sprint, prone, mellee and grenade use that aren't seperate weapons, attachments... Different topic: no. You say '26th [I]of[/I] december'. Fucking[I] simples.[/I]
[QUOTE=OrDnAs;43316427]I like the big bang theory [editline]26th December 2013[/editline] Bite me.[/QUOTE] I don't care for it but I've seen it on TV enough to determine that people are hilariously overstating how bad it is.
I still don't see how the freezing point being at 0 and boiling point at 100 makes Celsius any better than Fahrenheit. You're not converting Celsius to Centicelsius to Kilocelsius or anything, what does that matter? It's not like the rest of the Metric system where you just have to multiply or divide by an exponent of ten, and don't have to convert 12 inches to a foot to 3 feet in a yard to 1760 yards in a mile and all that confusing shit. Fahrenheit allows you to be a lot more specific. 35 F is a lot simpler than 1.66 C, for example. It's a lot easier to be precise, "It's in the 30s" relays a lot more information in Fahrenheit then it would in Celsius
[QUOTE=Mr. Jelly;43319943]Fahrenheit allows you to be a lot more specific. 35 F is a lot simpler than 1.66 C, for example. [/QUOTE] This makes no sense. 1.66 C is more specific than 35 F since you are specifying the decimal part of the temperature in Celcius. And why does your example say fahrenheit being simpler is a good example of it being specific?

And why does your example say fahrenheit being simpler is a good example of it being specific?[/QUOTE] What I'm trying to say is that it's simpler to be precise with how cold or hot it is I don't generally have face to face conversations with non-Americans about the weather, but saying "It's 35 degrees" seems a lot simpler than "It's 1.6 degrees", even though they are literally the exact same temperature To be as specific as Fahrenheit is, with Celsius you need to go into the decimal place

I have never heard a single person say "It's x.yy degrees hot today" in an average conversation. Who even does that?

Just because it's American doesn't make it stupid or dumb.
[QUOTE=Mr. Jelly;43320114]That's exactly my point? 35 F is the same level of specification as 1.66 C[/QUOTE] well if it's 1.66 degrees outside and someone asks about the temperature, you don't say "Oh, it's 1.66 degrees C outside" It's more like "It's 1½ degrees outside" or even simpler "It's just over one degree" Just like you don't go "oh it's 35.66 degrees outside".
[QUOTE=Toyhobo;43320185]well if it's 1.66 degrees outside and someone asks about the temperature, you don't say "Oh, it's 1.66 degrees C outside" It's more like "It's 1½ degrees outside" or even simpler "It's just over one degree" Just like you don't go "oh it's 35.66 degrees outside".[/QUOTE] Yeah, if it's 35.66 we just say it's 36 degrees
[QUOTE=Mr. Jelly;43320114]That's exactly my point? 35 F is the same level of specification as 1.66 C[/QUOTE] And in regular chatting to people on the street, who exactly cares? It's not simpler to use farenheit when literally no one uses decimals to give people on the street temperatures. In a lab, then yes they are important. In the street like you are saying? No, not so much at all. And you need to make up your mind, you are saying it's better to be precise with farenheit but before you said it's better to use celcius in science conditions where it would be necessary to be more precise. I'm not sure your point is coming across at all.

Allow me to backpedal for a moment here and redact that statement about Celsius from before a couple pages back But I still haven't really heard a good reason why Celsius is better than Fahrenheit

[editline]27th December 2013[/editline] I'm sorry, more like 300 years ago

[editline]27th December 2013[/editline] I'm sorry, more like 300 years ago[/QUOTE] Alright, fair point I still think, though, that having a scale that covers most of the world's average temperature with 0 - 100, with things outside that scale being colder than shit and hotter than fuck, works a bit better than a scale that covers that with -20 - 40, even if that scale comes from two unconnected things I don't really think anyone's going to walk away from this argument with a change in opinion on temperature system, y'know
[QUOTE=Tomo Takino;43317715]Yeah, all of like 3 or 4 countries in the world.[/QUOTE] [img]http://i.imgur.com/Jq9OcDN.png[/img] Actually it's a lot more than you think. It's not terribly uncommon, especially in countries like Japan where they read right to left, for it to be done yyyy/mm/dd. And apparently even some European countries do it. Also do note while magenta is only the US and one country in Central America the colors red, grey, and blue also include mm/dd/yyyy format.

You only say the month first because it's set like that. "It's the 27th of December". Everyone I know says it like that as well.

[QUOTE=Mr. Jelly;43319943] Fahrenheit allows you to be a lot more specific. 35 F is a lot simpler than 1.66 C, for example. [/QUOTE] that makes no sense 36°C would be 96.8°F. Ergo, by your logic, celsius is a lot simpler than Farenheit.
