The 'studio' (being like one dude, his girlfriend, and a couple of other randos) is known for parodying shit as well.
You do have the education to know what a parody is, yes?
The game is loaded with them. Hence, protected.
This is why Activision tried DMCA instead of court, as they would have lost HARD. Not to mention their own violations would've been EASILY made known. I've already pointed out to them how similar various weapons look to a sci-fi PORNO from 2011, and told them I'd be quite interested in letting Wicked Pictures know that their assets were being digitally converted and sold as originals.
Notice how quickly that DMCA dropped. Within the SAME DAY, if not OVERNIGHT at the latest.
Orion's back up for sale - Gee, I wonder fucking why?
GTFO Anonymous Activision Shill (Thanks Slashdot for a buggy interface that reveals IP addresses through a GreaseMonkey script! Shilling going on like a motherfucker in here!)
"The guy copied sections of the model vertex for vertex."
Nope. Try actually being a game dev and having the tools to check for yourself.
Mesh is almost identical except there's no identical scaling match done, which means it was made by hand.
Activision's textures were ripped from other games. I can see at least two ROTT textures and at least two rip-off mods of the id Doom UAC logo, one of them being directly on the gun itself (Actually, it's closer to the Quake I door in design.)
Activision doesn't own the design of that top rail. In fact, it's just a knockoff of the top rail on an AR-15/M-16. The CLOSEST thing you might get is on textures, but even then, some of those are easily shown to be ripped from far earlier games (texture on the barrel shroud in CoD comes out of ROTT, which came out several years earlier.)
Activision doesn't own the design to the bullpup stock, either. The specific design they're pointing out THEY RIPPED FROM RUSSIANS which used it in earlier SV versions of various sniper and infantry rifles (that shitty square back gas block.)
Activision also ripped assets from various other industries thinking we wouldn't notice. Activision's top-rail was already seen in a 2011 porno sci-fi movie called Horizon.
You post anonymously because you don't have the facts and are shilling for Activision when they've got no case. If they had a case, they wouldn't have used the DMCA, they'd have sued instead as prior legal precedent shows.
You think Activision is right but you're only looking at TWO sources, AND ignoring the fact that the DMCA filed was totally invalid as it didn't have required information.
Look at a bunch of other sources, you soon see that Activision is the one doing the ripping off of assets. One model I can identify as a modified Unreal CAR (Right down to primary mesh vertices) and several textures were either ripper or 'enhanced' (I see several Rise of the Triad textures) and several gun pieces look to be ripped directly from a sci-fi porno called Horizon, done by Wicked Pictures in 2011, WELL BEFORE the 2015 CoD.
Activision filed the DMCA instead of suing because they KNEW THEY WOULD NOT WIN IF THIS HIT COURT.
Their DMCA wasn't even valid and I could find several things they ripped off in a 2011 sci-fi porno movie called Horizon (your sloped top rail on a gun ain't new, Activision.) As soon as I pointed that out, that DMCA mysteriously vanished and Orion was back on the Steam Sale.
Looks like Activision doesn't want the fact that their game devs are stealing assets from non-game industries, specifically the porno industry, getting out.
It's the fault of multiple people. A. Road maintenance crews for not keeping the streets safe enough to prevent a blowout and black ice (no salt?) B. The driver of the vehicle for making sure their tires were of proper condition and that the roads were of safe driving condition. Also, the driver for going fast enough for a blowout on ice to give them enough momentum to carry them into a playground (what the fuck it's doing directly next to the road for an accident to happen is beyond me, most playgrounds are well in the center area of a park or behind a school.)
"The handbrake is there to/always use/ when you need your car to be stopped: in front of a traffic light,"
No, that's what your normal fucking brake pedal is for. Only idiots engage their handbrake in a manual transmission while waiting at a light, causing traffic impedance. Apparently you failed your driving school lessons.
You're probably the kind of person that puts their automatic transmission in park when they come to a stop at a stop sign.
Those skimmers have everything built-in. You need practically zero space to store name/number/PIN/Expiration date/ZIP code, a tiny silver-air battery can power the skimmer for a month.
In a manual transmission, putting the car in gear is the parking brake. If parked facing uphill, you put your vehicle in first, if you're parking facing downhill, put the vehicle in reverse.
Handbrake isn't even necessary, and in fact I simply never touch it.
You're entirely wrong. Try again when equipment you sell has to pass standards testing for IP ratings.
You're looking at an outdated site with way outdated standards. I'm holding the actual book with IEC standards as of 2015, which explicitly state time lengths.
"A PCB track should NOT handle the load applied to the connector, of any kind; that's a job for the enclosure. Even cellphones are designed so stress on the input jack is translated to the case."
In the case of surface-mounted components, this is rarely the case. Multiple phones I have also do not use the case as support. ZTE, Pentech, Nokia, etc.
"And this is where the cops tell you that a billing/payment dispute between yourself and a company you had a business relationship"
Only in a few circumstances. If you can prove you kept your account paid-in-full up to the date of termination of service, and then show they charged you after the fact for something they could not have charged you for, then you are free and clear. It's not a payment dispute any longer and is a case of fraud and theft.
My ass. They're almost as bad as Mini-USB as far as coming free from the pads or ripping traces with even miniscule amounts of pressure upon the plug while inserted in the jack. I say this as I sit here looking at seven dead sound chairs (input jacks, 3.5mm, broken free form board) and having just finished working on 400+ aquarium lights that funnily enough use the 3.5mm jack to power two strings of lights in each unit (common ground, separate positive rails each pushing 24V.)
They're fucking shit when you apply any perpendicular-to-board stress, especially the newer surface-mounted ones.
"while the Intel chips you mentioned are all CISC"
Intel has a RISC-like micro-core translating x86 instructions and has had it since the Pentium Pro. It has not been a CISC processor for AGES.
" PlayStation 3's Cell CPU achieves a theoretical maximum of 230.4 GFLOPS in single precision floating point operations and up to +15 GFLOPS double precision using iterative refinement for the solution of linear equations."
With the right programming, Cell will still stomp the shit out of current-gen processors.
I program things. I have programmed things on the Cell directly when OtherOS was still usable. Just because IBM couldn't squeeze the performance out doesn't mean other people can't.

Warskull is a fucking moron.
We got to see the DMCA claim. It doesn't mention details required to prove violations.
Therefore, the DMCA is not being legitimately used.
Warskull can fuck himself.
Reddit, being the Boston Marathon witch-hunt shit-site that it is, can fuck itself. Never quote it as a valid source again, moron.
"The dev behind Orion has a sordid history and a history of lying"
No, he has a sordid history of parodying EVERYTHING and usually FAILING.

The word is Illiterate. Aliterate means YOU don't want to read it despite being capable of doing so.

The only thing holding back Cell on the PS3 is the RSX GPU. The Cell has more than enough power to handle much more recent GPUs.
The 6th gen Core i7 barely breaches 100 GFLOPs. The Cell in the first-gen PS3 is more than double that at ~230 GFLOPs.
Cell is more powerful than what is currently in the PS4.

Incorrect. You can certainly affect Comcast's credit rating, you just need proof of certain things in order to do so.

You know jack shit about low-level programming and optimization. Come back when you work on the hardware level, n00bfry.
TempDog's laughing at your paranoid ass. Only idiots that are actually worried about shit keep saying "Where u at?" like you're doing.
