The art of war may be thousands of years old, but on the battlegrounds of the future combat has become a big business. Where men and women once stood in defense of their nation the employees of Private Military Corporations (PMCs) are deployed, armed with the latest technologies and an arsenal of advanced weapons. Soldiers no longer need to specialize in any area of combat — equipped with powerful exoskeletons, they become the masters of all battlefield skills. In this new age of privatized combat, one PMC stands at the forefront of the industry, the juggernaut Atlas Corporation. Founded and led by Jonathan Irons, perhaps the most powerful man in the world, Atlas Corporation represents the evolution of modern combat. Under the oversight of Irons and men like him, the rules of warfare have been completely rewritten, and national borders change with the demands of the highest bidders. Do you have what it takes to navigate this ever-changing military landscape and answer the Call of Duty?The latest installment in the popular combat series, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare plunges you into the combat of the future, orchestrated and fought by PMCs with the latest technology in armor, weaponry and tactics. Enter the world of Jonathan Irons — the founder and president of the world's most dominant PMC, Atlas Corporation — in a powerful performance by Academy Award-winning actor Kevin Spacey. Step onto the battlefield in a powerful exoskeleton that provides a massive force multiplier, delivers strategic freedom and enhances even the most adept soldier's abilities with optimized movement, jumping and grappling, covert cloaking abilities and biomechanics that take your strength, awareness, endurance and speed to the next level. Destroy opposing forces with an advanced arsenal that allows you to dominate the battlefield and all-new equipment, abilities and perks that put you at the forefront of combat technology. Conduct missions with hoverbikes, highly specialized drones and other new vehicles that enhance your mobility. Attack enemy forces with tried-and-true standard ammunition or step up your assault with new directed-energy weapons. The future of war is upon you — are you ready to play your part?

Classic is the best

I really enjoy Call of Duty it's a fun game. The new game is fun but gets very annoying when people are jumping all over the place with the exo suits. Glad they allow its users to play in classic mode.

Best set of headphones I've had. When they work
on October 17, 2014
Posted by: nickcal
from Evansville
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm hard of hearing so I'm pretty picky when it comes to getting headphones. I want to make sure they have great sound and feel comfortable. So when I found the Beats Studio Wireless I was excited. They are both comfortable and sound great. Why such a low rating then? Because I'm about to return my second pair of Beats Studio Wireless because the bluetooth failed. Both times customer service at Beats told me to do a reset and check to see if they are updated and both times it turns out to be the same "Looks like the bluetooth has failed sir. You can return them to the store or send them to us for a replacement." Says the Beats phone reps. I'm truly saddened by this as these have sounded great and never gave me a headache after wearing all day. I might try and see if third times a charm.

I really enjoy my Hue lights, I have eight of them and they work so well Im looking to buy six more. Definitely worth getting if you want to have different colored lights controlled by your phone. I have mine set with third party services to change colors with the program Im watching on my TV its really cool.

Dropcam awesome but costly
on August 8, 2014
Posted by: nickcal

How many cameras do you need?4-6
Verified Purchase:Yes
I take care of my 82 year old grandmother and because I have I started to look for a good camera setup I could have around the house so when Im not at home I can check in the common areas of the house to make sure she has not fallen down. We have setup Dropcams in my Office Living room Kitchen and garage. Whats really good is the connection time video and two way audio. Whats bad is the video recording. Ive used other cameras that allow you to record the video to your iPhones camera roll but not the Dropcam. If you need to record you will need to signup via there service that becomes pretty expensive when your using multiple camera setup. The motion detection allows for me to know when something is happening so even without recording I can just jump right to the video feed. Im guessing if someone was to ever break in I could take a bunch of screen shots but Im hoping they lower the price on the DVR service. I think if your looking for a quick and easy way to secure your home via video the Dropcam is the way to go. Mostly because I like how well it works with iOS.

Works with my Retina MBP

Posted by: nickcal
from Evansville
Verified Purchase:Yes
Ive been an Apple fan boy for some time now and when moving to the Retina Macbook Pro I lost the option to burn disks. That was not a big deal to me as I hadn't burned a disk in what felt like for ever.
To be honest I really did not think I would need to ever burn a disk again with as much external hard drives and cloud storage as I have.
Well the day came that burning a disk was a must thats why I picked up the Apple super drive. I could have picked up a cheaper external disk drive but I really like the design of my Apple gear and how I know its just going to work with my stuff.
So is it worth buying? My answer yes. Elegant design fast burning speed small portable and easy to use.

Simplify your everyday life with the Google Home, a voice-activated speaker powered by the Google Assistant. Use voice commands to enjoy music, get answers from Google and manage everyday tasks. Google Home is compatible with Android and iOS operating systems, and can control compatible smart devices such as Chromecast or Nest."
 

Will Google Home work with ECOBEE Thermostat?

No. Unfortunately, Google has limited functionality to only the Nest thermostat. At this time, I don't see them opening up support for third parties as they are probably trying to push it with their own hardware, but that could always change.
