Didn't see this video posted yet... looks amazing. This game looks so incredibly polished.

Looks bloody fantastic!

And he was right, glass does look good :laugh: The breach sequence was a nice touch as well.

That AA12 sounds like mad rape in MP to me

aka, not a good thing :s

Meaning it's terrible at longer ranges thus making it useless in many situations and then people don't want to carry those unless the map is extremely CQB biased. I mean, it's pretty much the same with the current situation and the auto-shotgun, in CQB situations it's in-your-face annoying but the other 90% of the time it's useless.

( I'm aware of its deadliness even at range but the weapon is sure to have been balanced / toned down for the game )

No dedicated servers on the PC version? lolwut

Skip to 1:41.

Robert Bowling.

Flat out.

NO DEDICATED SERVERS. Matchmaking only.

They ask him about custom content. He completely skips around the issue. He knows that there won't be custom content but doesnt want to embarass himself.

Wow, MW2 has changed for the worse.

So it's going to be just like the console versions, not having to sift through a million tard servers with messed up settings, 64 players and weird ass host rules?

Win (Y)

No mod tools = No custom content or mods (N)

No Dedicated servers = no clan servers (N)

No Dedicated servers = possible end of competitive ladders (N)

No Dedicated servers = means those few servers you frequent and play with friends are gone (N)

Steam integration = Map Packs+Patches (DLC) on the PC may not be free anymore. (N)

PC Release = No delay (Y)

Only one piece of good news today, the other news makes things a little uncertain going forward for the PC crowd.

Do you need more?

Good points but considering I use(d) none of those when I played the PC version, it's not really my focus. For my own personal preference I'm glad to see user-control removed and a more streamlined, standardized servers introduced.

I can agree with you to an extent. What has me concerned is that some servers for CoD4 or CoD5 have some pretty good "communities" within them. I personally enjoy the servers run by the guys at "The Company", especially their War server for CoD5. In MW2 they are gone and all the other "community" servers.

I'd love to see IW come along and give us an explanation of how this news will change the way we play the game.

I haven't canceled my pre-order, but I'm curious what this means for PC gaming moving forward.

Tell me about it, with the cash I saved from buying this POS I can now buy L4D2 and Bad Company 2 ^_^

Thanks Activision for completely ruining the experience!

Not really MW 1 was epic. I love the dedicated servers and the community. Pc crowd really know how to play!

All those tears, the thread might drown!

On a completely different note, who's up for some Spec Ops fun / achievement hunting come November 10th? ( 360 ) Probably not going to be on the 10th exactly but in the following days thereafter.

One thing good out of it - a lot of people, including me, will get to keep out cash now. (Y)

Aye, won't be buying this. The guys I who came back from a hiatus to play CoD4 in their old guilds (I'm talking CS pre 1.0 old) are going to have a **** fit too.

Won't mean a thing to the console owners but this is a kick in the balls to any PC gamer.

I've got my inflatable ducky ring on! If you're getting it on PC, I would definitely be down for some Neowin Spec Ops!

    • Interesting share -- however it does not make sense: Email messages get stored somewhere, so how is Delta Chat "based on email" and decentralized without actually storing anything? By Web3 standard practices, the various Relays would require dedicated storage to make messages available to the recipients (like a large series of message queue channels, akin to racks of traditional post office boxes)... and Contacts must be two-way confirmed in order for encryption keys to be exchanged (ostensibly every key-pair is uniquely bound between sender and recipient) and the Relays would preserve the public keys in order to facilitate message carriage... or every device stores all sorts of keys and contact info. All of this to say, decentralized messaging is like running Bluesky nodes except instead of discovering/browsing public feeds by various posters (at the given node) these Delta Chats would be relaying encrypted messages (via Relays) that only trusted recipients would have the appropriate decryption key (their own private key) to read it. But this doesn't solve the "it's like email" sales pitch. The only way it's like email is that there's encrypted binary stuff being transported from your app into the federated ether of Delta Chat Relays for others to decrypt (hopefully only the intended recipient)... but outside of this federated relays framework, it is absolutely nothing like email.

The cloning feature of Hasleo Backup Suite can help you migrate Windows to another disk, or easily upgrade a disk to an SSD or a larger capacity disk. System Backup & Restore / Disk/Partition Backup & Restore Backup Windows operating system and boot-related partitions, including user settings, drivers and applications installed in these partitions, which ensures that you can quickly restore your Windows operating system once it crashes. Viruses, power failure, or other unknown reasons may cause data loss, so it is a good habit to regularly back up the drive that stores important files, you can at least recover lost files from the backup image files in the event of a disaster.

Incremental/Differential/Full Backup Different backup modes are supported, you can flexibly choose data protection schemes, which can improve backup performance and save storage space while ensuring data security. Delta Restore Delta restore uses advanced delta detection technology to check the changed blocks on the destination drive and restore only the changed blocks, so it has a faster restore speed than the traditional full restore. Universal Restore This feature can help us restore the Windows operating system to computers with different hardware and ensure that Windows can work normally without any hardware compatibility issues.

    • I looked into a few echo devices to find they were riddled with adverts over time. No thanks ill stick to my homeassistant, smart plugs, smart bulbs and cameras that don't cost me a monthly fee and are cheaper to buy. No adverts also.
