[Official] Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2


Recommended Posts

I did it instore, they just wrote it in a notepad, only 1 other person on the list :laugh:

It was a brand new store, so I don't think they really knew what they were doing. I might try another Asda later.

I just rung that Asda again, and they said they will just phone me when it comes in.

just rang, too late, last date to pre order was 3rd

I canceled, but I tucked that $65 away because I may change my mind next week. Guess I'll wait to see what the early impressions are.

I'm more concerned with how IW.net handles and performs on the PC. I'm fine with using a Steam group to game with friends, but I'm not fine with taking part in a $60 beta test of IW.Net. I'll let someone else handle that.

Good article here regarding the changes IW made & video response from 402.

Do you guys think this will be sold out everywhere on release day? I am just planning on buying it in town on the day it is released but I'm worrying that I won't be able to find it anywhere.

Probably the big places, malls etc

But if you can find a small shop somewhere

I wouldn't be worried as I am going for Midnight Launch. But just check around Target, Best Buy, Walmart should have them.

I would say it depends on the platform.

Xbox 360 might be tough to find, PS3 may not be as tough, and the shelves should be fully stocked with PC versions.

COD:MW2 for ?30 via Littlewoods

Register for an account, order COD:MW2 and use voucher code: ZQ266

No idea what their delivery times are like but it's worth a look for those who prefer to save money than get game first.>

They use either Royal Mail(Priority) or HDNL for delivery.

Is that the ?15 off first order code?

I won't be able to use it, as I already used it to buy 2100 MS points for ?7. Also if it goes through, they have been known to claim the money back in the future, due to fraudulent use of a voucher code(if it isn't your first order).

Someone just tweeted that there's no hardcore mode. That's not true right?

That's a lie, I watched a video stream of someone playing the leaked copy and 'Hardcore' is an option that's selectable in options. Also it's the name of a playlist or two.

:D

i really hope thats not true ..i love hardcore S&D and headquarters , it's the 2 game modes i play most

I believe that is the case on PS3, but 360 and PC will be missing hardcore for certain gametypes. I honestly can't remember and it's to tough to find the info again with all the other MW2 hate going on.

PC Gamers are SCREWED!

Poor PC gamers. First they hear the soul-crushing news that Modern Warfare 2 won't support dedicated servers, and now Infinity Ward has broken their hearts yet again. During a Best Buy online chat, the developer fired off a string of bad news, affirming a 9-vs-9 player limit, the inability to kick players from ranked matches and a lack of console commands. Ars Technica has laid out the full list of disappointments, if you've got the stomach for it.

We feel for those of you on the PC side, but largely because you haven't yet had your spirits broken like your console brethren. We don't even notice having our dreams shattered any more (in fact, truth be told, we think we're starting to like it).

    • 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
