10 AnswersCurrent Events9 years agoHelp with Battlefield 3 multiplayer?
I started playing the multiplayer today. My first match I KNEW something was wrong. I figured out that all my multiplayer date for BF3 was gone. I played the BF3 multiplayer beta and I got to level 19 or 21. I deleted the BF3 demo data after the beta closed since it was useless used spaced.
By any chance was my multiplayer data saved into the BF3 beta file data onto my PS3? Or was in saved somewhere into EA servers online?
1 AnswerVideo & Online Games10 years agoHow many Americans have died during millitary service in war during and since the Revolutionary War?
I want to know how many AMericans have died during military service since the first war the United States as a country has been through. I have heard 1.2 million but I know that is TOO low since around 700,000 Americans (BOTH the North and South) died in the Civil War and 403,800 in World War 2 and that together is more than 1.2 million. I want to know all the deaths during and after the Revolutionary War to the present War on Terror. Also, include both without the Confederates during the Civil War and with the Confederates in the grand total. if possible, maybe even include the deaths and/or wounded for each individual war or conflict. I want to know all this since I have to include these pieces of information for school.
4 AnswersMilitary10 years agoCan you help me with a Socom 4 software update/download problem?
Well, the problem is when I try to play Socom 4 at all, I cant even get to the main menu since it says I NEED a software update. However, when it got to the 96% mark (specifically it downloaded 346.57/357.37 MB (1/4) of the update files) it STOPS completely. It has done that each time and I tried 5 times at least. So far I havent called Sony or Zipper for help. Any ideas bout what to do?
Also, when you answer no retarded answers that are simply annoying to me. I want real answers.

3 AnswersVideo & Online Games10 years agoWill Rockstar games announce anything about GTA 5 (or whatever it will be called).?
I have been wondering for awhile if they will announce it. I have looked several times for anything about the game, but it was just rumors like GTA 5 will likely be in the Hollywood area, the next GTA is codenamed RUSH, and the GTA 5 character list might have been discovered. I just want to know if they will announce anything about it in the near future of like 3 months or so from now. I know someone said they wil not announce the game, when they will announce info about it, how they plan to announce it or details about the announce strategy, but I really can't be sure about that statement since it might be a trick to keep the public especially GTA fans quiet and not ask anything. Is it likely that Rockstar Games will announce some details about the next GTA game in the near future or some time at least 3 months before the games release?
6 AnswersVideo & Online Games10 years agoWhy is the United States in such a bad shape economically and hated so much?
I think the government needs to get its act together!! They actually have voted like 9 out of 10 times to RAISE the national debt limit!! Now we are OVER 14 TRILLION dollars in debt!! I think they NEED to solve the INTERNAL problems FIRST. A lot of people within the government are good and try, but we still have some problems. There might also be some corruption in the system. I have heard about that Illinois governor being pretty corrupt or whatever. He caused some big problems and is now on or was on trial for awhile. He caused some problems. Also, there was that bank guy who stole billions of dollars from people. The United States government NEEDS to find and get rid of these guys from the system.
Also, they might need to change some things inside the government. They should NOT focus on outside problems like Libya right now or other African or Middle Eastern countries. Right now they need to get their act together and strengthen the economy. Many people are losing their jobs and are homeless or at least unemployed. Lots of people are resorting to illegal acts like drugs and weapons and robbery and killing. Not everyone is, but a lot are. They have little to lose and they think it can't get much worse. Well, they are wrong. By doing this they are hurting the United State and can effect the whole world.
A lot of places around the world have problems. Countries like in the Middle East and Africa are going to have problems for awhile. With the Global world population growing there is going to be an increased demand for food and goods. These countries are going to struggle to supply the demand and many people will die. Then the countries might get revolutions that could disrupt the whole country. Then other countries will revolt after seeing this and many countries will be hurt and lose control. Other nations will join and conflict will be widespread. Many nations will be disrupted and possibly be destroyed. This could cause World War 3 and the global will no doubt be hurt possibly beyond repair. The world will go into turmoil and the human race might go extinct or just live small lives with few resources to use since most if not all of the technology and supplies was destroyed.
Also, if this happens only a few nations might survive that are strong enough to repair this mega disaster. The United States might be one of those few nations. IF (BIG IF) something close, similar, or worse than this global disaster happens and the U.S. does survive we need to get rid of the major corruption.
NOW, the likely hood seems even to me very unlikely, but a major event could damage the whole world. The United States and other countries alike need to build up their economies. We need to get rid of the corruption form the system both internally and externally. We need to keep the government running and still keep a good government in power. We can't go anarchy or dictator on the world if a major disaster happens and we survive. The humanity still needs to survive and without it there is no stopping a ruthless sadistic tyrant from ruling the government and the remaining world.
Also, we just need to solve these problems and work together to stop them. There is no doubt an event in the near future of maybe 30 years an event will happen. It could be catastrophic and take many years if ever to rebuild from the damage. The human global population is already in the danger zone and is still exploding worldwide except Russia and a few other countries maybe, their population is decreasing..... Anyways, we just need to rebuild the government and our country and maybe help other nations rebuild, but still keep an open mind to a potential danger when we try to help others.
We have already multiple times pissed off other peoples for our actions. They think that all the Americans think they are better than them and we can do whatever we want. So if a threat to us happens we just barge in and intervene. Well we did that several times like in South Korea and Vietnam and look what happened!! We did 2 wars that either ended in a cease fire in the Korean War or we went back home defeated to little success in the Vietnam War!! We lost over 100 hundred thousand people in both wars total and we lost!! We need to realize what time is a good time to act and NOT do it for selfish reasons only!! That is why we are soooo hated by some peoples and Western nations in general also. Europe can be in some serious danger like Britain since they are our allies and The Middle East and Africa do have some serious people who HATE us. The Al-queda have attacked not only us, but our allies and other people for no reason related to us also.
There are people in Africa and the Middle East who like us, but there is also some people who are willing to eliminate us.

2 AnswersPolls & Surveys10 years agoHow many games have received a 10 from Game Informer in there Monthly Game Informer Magazine?
I was looking at the 219 issue (July 2011 issue) and I was looking at some of the reviews from past games and I saw multiple 9's, 9.25's, and 9.5's. I have also seen one 9.75 from a recent issue that was as far back as like issue 214 or more recent. The game was a PC game by the way. I have never seen a game receive a 10 though and I was wondering if a game ever did get a 10/10 from Game Informer. I have heard a Uncharted game received a 10 which I wouldn't be surprised if it did since it is a very great game. Anyways, can you provide some links to prove your answer on what games received a 10/10 from Game Informer and thanks in advanced.
2 AnswersMagazines10 years agoIn Call Of Dead easter egg how do you do it in co op and what do you exactly do in step 8?
I have seen al the steps, but some of them are pretty confusing for me so could you LIST ALL the steps for me in co op and solo? Also, when they mean co op does that mean like split screen or does it mean when you play with 1,2, or 3 other players online??Also, please explain steps 4 -8 exactly to me since I kind of doubt what to do especially in step 7 AND 8. Also, what is with the elephant sounds?? I have both in my call of dead games and in videos heard them. Is it probably a easter egg along with the plant in the top right corner of the call of dead screen before you actually play the map suggesting the next zombie map will be in Africa or some other tropical place or that Zoo and Call of Dead might have some kind of connection to a in-game easter egg. Well, that is just my guess. Anyways, could you list all the easter egg steps for the Call OF Dead map? Also thamks ahead of time!!
1 AnswerVideo & Online Games10 years agoWhat is beyond the Cosmic Microwave Background?
It completely amazes me how big and complex our universe is. Just when we think we solved something or found an answer to our question often something new comes along that might have not even been expected to be discovered or exist or we never even thought of its possible existence. We know so much about our universe, but that is probably just a insignificant fraction of general information the Universe really holds. Well, one day I heard on TV on The History Channel about the multi-universe theory and that there could be so far a theorized 4 types of multi-universes. I also heard that maybe given enough time light from other universes could come into our universe from beyond the Cosmic Microwave Background or CMB. That got me really thinking and I got several ideas. One idea is that you can reach other universes (if there is other universes) by traveling somehow beyond the CMB, but you might have to travel potentially billions of light years to cross this "plane" or line to officially enter the edge of another universe. Also if you could constantly communicate with other humans who are still within the CMB and that this "plane" is actually very close (like up to a few light years from beyond the CMB) to the CMB outside of its limits that once you cross the "plane" you instantly loose communication with the other people if the signals from the communication device can go through the CMB. Another idea I have is that once you cross the "plane" you might experience things never thought possible since you come from an entirely different universe and your body's physics are possibly different from this new universe's physics. Also another reason for this potential unique experience is that you are a new unaccounted amount of mass that was never originally created with that universe from that universe's birth and it has to account for you or somehow get rid of you or deal with you (a.k.a. this new mass). Also if or if not there is something beyond the CMB is our Universe's physics still work out there? I am asking since it seems the CMB is the very limit of our universe and would physics work out beyond the CMB's limits? For example if for whatever reason you go outside the ship or some kind of transportation vehicle with no suit, clothes, or anything on would you actually fell any temperature beyond the CMB's limits? Another question I have is it possible for communication with our Universe once you cross the "plane" and you enter another universe? Also how would the new universe you enter react to your new presence? Also if this new universe in fact does have a completely different set of physics would it immediately react to your different law of physics or would you have to touch matter from that universe for some sort of reaction? Also how would 2 different objects with mass and each with a different set of physics react once they both physically touch each other? Thanks in advance for the answers and please have some links to articles to prove your answer!!
4 AnswersAstronomy & Space10 years agoThoughts on The Gone Series by Michael Grant?
Yeah I have read the first two books, Gone and Hunger, and now I am waiting for the library system to get one of the 2 copies of the books to me (yes they are BOTH checked out as far as I know). I really like the series and I can not wait to read the 3rd and 4th books, Lies and Plague, since the first 2 books were so good. I could read them in 2 or 3 days (even if I have school and I spend a few hours at most in the afternoon) each and the first 2 books were 500 - 600 pages so the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th books probably will be about that thick. Unfortunately, the 5th book (no idea the title) doesn't come out until 2012 and the 6th book, Light, I don't think even has a release date since Michael Grant and whoever else is helping him write the book are still writing the 5th book in The Gone Series probably.

11 AnswersSecurity1 decade agoWhat is a good virus/trojan/worm remover for a computer that is free?
My computer I got like 2 years is suddenly full of viruses/trojans/worms!! I do not go on that often and I just go onto youtube and yahoo sights usually. I don't do anything wrong if that is what your thinking. I go onto youtube to look up game strategies or videos my friends say I should see like some songs or some funny videos. It mentioned some viruses a couple months ago, but I was busy at the time so I had to log off the computer and forgot about it. It now suddenly says my computer is being monitored, it detected 31 infections, and my computer is at risk. I should have Norton Security, but I think somehow it is off. Now I can't go online since this Vista ANTI-virus protection keeps saying it is dangerous and when I try to go online it blocks me from going online and I DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR VIRUS SECURITY!!! WHAT should I do?
2 AnswersSecurity1 decade agoSome of your ideas for what GTA 5 should have?
Well, I really liked GTA 4, but they had some flaws. Then again, it was more of an experiment game probably since I think it was the first game Rockstar made for PS3 or at least the first GTA game by Rockstar and the first major game for Rockstar to undertake for PS3. Think of it, they had to design a map that was HUGE using a probably 2 year old engine with some awesome graphics. They were using SO many new things. From San Andreas to GTA4 that is pretty big leap in graphics, gameplay, map size, etc. I don't even know if they made a game in-between the releases of those 2 games. Also they were trying new mechanics or whatever like controllable drivebys, moving with manual aim for any gun (well except sniper rifles unless your taking cover), search area, the amount of cops the game can control, taking cover, etc. Not to mention it was a 2008 release and the game could actually control all the motion, graphics, physics of how things work, and so on really amazes me that they could make such a leap in gaming technology in a less than a decade. Look 20 or 30 years ago they came out with Pong probably in the 1970's I think.
ANYWAYS HERE ARE MY IDEAS FOR GTA 5:
I think they should allow you to buy more property like in past GTA's, more cheat codes, MORE GUNS (MINIGUN ANYONE?) , more clothes to buy or actually be able EARN the clothes. I mean in GTA 4 the NOOSE swat clothes were REALLY cool. I REALLY wanted to be able to get them WITHOUT moding the game since I don't know how to and I not going to anyways. Also I thought they should have some Army outfits, uniforms, or whatever, Navy uniforms, Arctic camo uniforms, Desert camo uniforms, Jungle camo uniforms, Spetsnaz (Russian army or Russian military force), and more casual city clothes. ALso some really cool swat uniforms (even cooler than the NOOSE swat uniforms) AND A REAL TANK!! I want an Army base or military base that I can actually go attack like in GTA Vice City with a helicopter that I HAVE to EARN through VIGILANT missions or some kind of in-game things I HAVE to collect. I want some vigilant missions, ambulance missions, pizza boy missions, ambulance missions, and maybe some other missions too in GTA 5!! Also MAYBE have the ability to buy and grow illegal businesses like racket protection like in GTA Vice City Stories. I NOT asking for like 100 car garages, a private island, a world wide game that allows you to visit every single GTA map from the past, etc. I ONLY want the camo, army, and swat uniforms, the military base or bases, the tank, a helicopter like the Annihilator, the vigilant missions (and the other mission types too), the ability to buy property, ability to EARN uniforms as rewards through mission completion, have more guns like Minigun (there BETTER be a minigun:) ), be able to go into and shoot up police stations, and HAVE A MALL to be able to go into like the North Point Mall in GTA Vice City, but MUCH bigger!!
SO WHAT ARE YOUR IDEAS?
1 AnswerVideo & Online Games1 decade agoThoughts on Gone and Gone series by Michael Grant?
I read the book in about 2 1/2 days and I REALLY liked it. I searched the book and there are about so far 4 books out and 2 coming out soon. My JUST finished reading the book about 10 to 20 minutes ago and I wanted to see some people's opinion on the book and the series as a whole or one of the sequel books. SO, just five me an opinion for people who READ the series or part of it anyways or who are considering it. Funny, I have for the past week or 2 weeks have started REALLY reading. I finished the Maze Runner by James Dashner and the Scorch Trials by James Dashner in about a day for both of them and I have within 1 1/2 months ago finished The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins (well Catching Fire and MockingJay), but the Gone books were only indirectly caused me to read them. The Maze Runner and The Hunger Games trilogies started when my reading teacher had us read the first books in both trilogies and I read the rest of the books in both the trilogies for myself (well the last book of the Maze Runner trilogy, The Death Cure, will not be released until October 11th 2011). The Gone series started for me on Tuesday this week when I went to the town library (part of a library system) and each time a person there (same each time) told the class about some books and the Gone Series first book, obviously Gone, was one she told us about this time (maybe she told us about it before or it was on the table, but I can't remember) and I read it for myself and it was NOT required by my reading teacher to read. Anyways, the book and so far the series (well I only so far read the first book) to me personally receives a 9/10 to 9.5/10 for me without checking reviews for the book or the whole series as a whole.
ALSO: what are some good series to check out especially some Young Adult books to check out. Also, should I continue the Gone series and is it worth buying to you?
2 AnswersBooks & Authors1 decade agoWhat are some good Young Adult books to read?
I have read the Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay (The Hunger Games Trilogy) by Suzanne Collins. I also read The Maze Runner by James Dashner. I WANT to read The Scorch Trials by James Dashner especially after I read the first 2 chapters in the back of The Maze Runner after I finished it in 3 days. I also want to read the #3 book in that book trilogy when it comes out. The Warrior Heir, Wizard Heir, and Dragon Heir are also looking good and finally Divergent by Veronica Roth is really looking good. Anyone have another Young Adult book suggestion with some LINKS like reviews!?!?
