That sucks, having to pay for maps then not being able to play on them is single handedly the lamest thing about consoles/matchmaking systems. Devs really need to have server browsers if they're going to charge you for maps, or do a matchmaking/server browser combo.

That didn't exactly help KZ2, the new maps are barely played at all. Only the servers with lots of map rotation seem to have them. So you gotta play sometimes 5 maps you don't want to, just to play the one you do.

Neither solution is great.

But one solution is better.

And the issue with KZ2 is the issue with any map packs as DLC, not enough of your audience pay the money for them, which is why map DLC should be free, or at a minimal released not long after for free.

Well with games like Gears of War 2 and Halo 3 you have the option to play a matchmaking list which requires players to own the new maps, so you are guaranteed to play the new maps.

I think CoD4 also has this, not sure about WaW but seeing as people complained they were veto'd I doubt it. Maybe CoD4 was the same. Been too long since I played either MP.

GoW2 & Halo 3 solution > the rest.

WaW has this option.

So I rented this game from gamefly. I was looking forward to it because I had a blast with 4.

I had no idea of how much different it was than cod 4. The aiming feels weird. The guns are HORRIBLE! They are very unbalanced. Even the hit boxes seem off which I know can not be possible. The dogs are just lame. The maps are poorly designed.

This is one of the worst games I've played in a while.

Treyarch please never touch a COD game again.

I can't believe all the people on multiplayer still.

the people know whats good... even tho ww2 settings are not seen as 'cool'

me personally, i have mainly gone back to cod4 recently just to brush up on my urban warfare skills for mw2. still cant believe that the best gun in the game is given to right at the start (m-16). u can shoot anyone from anywhere with that gun on all maps lol

another thing people dont like about waw... the guns actually have recoil :o :o . but 1 drawback that even i hate on waw is fukin tanks! im glad i mainly play hardcore!

      I've been using MWB Premium for a number of years so that along with Windows updates and updated browser should be fine. Thanks for that.

    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      For some reason I suddenly have the urge to go shopping at Sears.

      So I did a quick test based on 3+ different public instances from the litany at searx.space ... and it spins everything rather differently. It seems that SearXNG is a meta-search engine (queries multiple search indexes rather than only Google's or Bing's or Wikipedia's or Reddit's) that operates in two modes: > public instances ... each instance opens itself to outside users who piggyback on its cached search history; this instance's own identity becomes known/tracked but end-users are hidden similar to an anonymization proxy; this instance's querying of major search indexes may be API based [rated limited, blocked, etc.]). > private instances ... your private install/instance that itself queries multiple (configurable) search indexes of crawled web content; every major Search Engine associates all traffic to your private instance (so your traffic is tracked via network usages) but client-side tracking (your own browser/computer specs) is flushed because it's a "server" doing the querying rather than your browser. My test asked the same 1 question to the 3+ engines and they all returned vastly different results: some had CAPTCHA failures against Google, some had failures against Wikipedia, and the actual results were also different -- some had auto-complete enabled, others returned a wikipedia highlighted excerpt despite the Wikipedia failure (hinting at results being cached from previous keyword matching), and others just gave an Are-You-Human non-CAPTCHA loop before returning random results. So this begs the caveat: Search query results will vary based on which instance is used because every instance queries the other search indexes separate (and thus its results are influenced on that instance's aggregate search history and index-access limitations). The major distinctions for SearXNG versus DDG or Brave: > The search UI is 'untracked' since no UI trackers are baked-in which would phone home or lay cookies into your browser (for DDG/Brave usage stats), > There is no 'crawler' that canvasses the Internet to discover fresh content (it leaves that to the major search indexes), > Queries multiple search indexes ("meta-search engine") based on the configurations and usage history of the server instance, > Privacy-friendly due to its ability to shield user tracking via standing up a non-local server instance connectable to major VPN providers: queries would all appear to come from general VPN/Proxy providers rather than your private instance (whether installed locally or on your own VPS in the cloud). PS: I've previously come across specialized search engines of this nature that indexes searches across media assets like YT, OF, etc. SearXNG seems to be a good backbone...if the rate-limiting/captcha/etc. issues were resolved.
