[Official] Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2


Recommended Posts

I'm surprised nobody has expressed their opinions on the "secret" new feature from the game *SPOILER ALERT* Of course, seemingly, multiplayer will have a 3rd person mode? And all 16 maps have been revelaed, and all playlists.

Can't wait to not buy the game. Multiplayer is what makes me buy the game and the whole no dedicated servers is pure bull. Shall "aqquire" ;) the game to play the single player though, but theirs no way in hell I'll spend 60$ for a 4 hour single player game with a crappy multiplayer.

Little better of an explanation.

"It's not something you can toggle on and off in ANY game," said Bowling. The special mode can only be played in private matches -- toggled on or off just like "Hardcore" settings -- or in playlists that are designated for third-person play. According to Bowling, everyone playing in a third-person playlist will be restricted to the viewpoint. "This is just another cool way to play the game," he said, "you obviously will still have the option to play gametypes normal as well."

Seems like a cool idea for something "different".

Oh great soccer moms and half of America is going to be butthurt in tears after this.

Some SP storyline spoilers.

Games are turning kids into Terminator, etc, etc. Hey, 9/11 will probably be blamed on games after that gets mainstream coverage.

For everyone who wants to see the 3rd person, I found a crappy video on You Tube of it (by simply just typing Modern Warfare 2 Third Person, go figure) and in regards to that video you posted AB, I have to say that is not going to fly with a lot of people I do not think.

Definitely not, I'm fine with it as long as it's part of a seriously told story and it's not there as some publicity stunt/rip off of Postal.

It's passed the ratings board though.

I guess I don't see why they are trying to redefine the game even if it is only one mode. This will split the community.

if its kept private then it will not effect rankings... for most people it will be used sparingly and then right back to FPS mode to rank up.. !

How can a "game mode" split the community? Or do you mean like how it already is? I know people that ONLY play S&D and nothing else. They don't matter to me anyway lol.

If it is for private mode only, no big deal then.

S&D, Hardcore, Domination, Deathmatch all TPS would draw a substantial amount of players. Now if jerzdawg is right, private match only is no big deal at all.

ok so they fuss about people having to "search through server lists to find servers people want to play on" but now they add another "mode" of play that people aren't going to like, so they will have to search through server lists to not join a 3rd person view server? Am I getting that correct?

You're not getting that correct, it's a separate mode on its own, and can't be enabled for just any game online.

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
    • AT&T has been spying on US citizens with the NSA for decades.. they just know how to keep it more under wraps.. the evil level is still there.
