Based on some recent events, the CEDIA technology council decided to conduct a small survey of internal CEDIA staff members.
This is not considered a scientific study but instead a case study that should correlate relatively well to the general public. The survey took place on March 27 at CEDIA HQ.
There were 25 participants who chose to participate in the survey. They were asked to look at two identical displays and answer five questions. The displays were showing the movie "Twilight" playing in 720p via an MP4 download and 1080p on Blu-ray. Both displays were connected using high-quality 5-meter HDMI cables. The participants were not informed which display was Blu-ray and vice-versa as the display on the left was marked "A" and the display on the right was marked "B."
The Nerd Stash: "Developed by Treyarch Studios, Call of Duty: Black Ops games are some of the best in the series in terms of gameplay, story, and -- of course -- Zombies."
Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.
And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.
I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.
With these hidden gems to add to your backlog, it’s time to give some bangers the shine they deserve.
Numbers 6-9 were some of my absolute favorite early gen PS3 games. I'm still bitter about Incognito and Japan Studio.
The white knight chronicles and infamous games really need to come to modern platforms. MAG I really miss...poor zipper. The ps3 was definitely a unique console despite it being the worst home console of PlayStation.

Would love to see a sequel to the 7th gen FPS campaign SINGULARITY from RAVEN Software..
Well duh, of course the disc-based HD medium will win versus compressed crap MP4 from iTunes.
DUH
Quite a misleading title. It should be read as 1080p BD beats 720p mp4. That outcome is to be expected.
Why would video run through a crappy compression algorithm ever look better than the disc-based at even an equal resolution? This is basically like comparing CD quality sound to MP3. mpegs are always lossy and definitely don't compress better than whatever algorithms blu ray uses. Digital distributors really need a better way to compress things before they start matching the typical blu ray quality.
