[Official] Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2


Recommended Posts

I would be upset if the previous Dedicated Server debacle hadn't pushed me to cancel my preorders.

Too bad noone will learn their lesson from this. Activision is conducting a biased litmus test by placing their highest profile game in this situation ($60, no Custom content, no Customization period) and seeing if the enormous control and profit from this lockdown is worth the ill-will this will bring upon them.

People will still buy this game like hotcakes, and the painful cycle will continue on and on and on.

Of course if many dont buy the game then they will just leave the PC market altogether. So youre screwed either way. Catch 22.

Ok this is interesting, Best Buy Canada just updated it's new flyer.. now it doesn't even mention the free $10 gift card. Although it does say that the first 75 lined up people will recieve a free MONSTER energy drink (4pack) and it also states that each BB store has a minimum of 10 Prestige versions (@ $169.99 not sure if it's including preorders X_X). So I'd say if you really want that Prestiege version.. you better quickly pre-order it before Monday. So just letting all the Canadians for the heads up.

For me, I"m just too poor to get the Prestiege.. gonna just pick up he normal version.. I still can't justify paying for almost $200 a game. Yes I know it has the NVGs.. but I'm probably not going to use it anyway, it'd be an awesome piece of work, but just can't afford it.

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.

WHAT!?

WHAT!?

that seems to be the general gist of things happening... look at http://kotaku.com/5397735/announcing-the-r...odern-warfare-2 , for instance

-Wednesday, November 11: The Kotaku Game Club for Modern Warfare kicks off, with a post that will kick off a discussion about the game's first three levels. Those levels... and nothing else. So please try not to play past that, as hard as that will be. (Play multiplayer instead or something).

at this rate, modern warfare 2 belongs more in the media room than it does in the gamers hangout...

To quell a few rumours here is the playlist:

The stars means you can use party chat in them.

Domination unlocks at Lv4

Ground War Lv4

Demolition Lv7

Sabotage Lv10

Headquaters Pro Lv10

S&D Lv13

CTF Lv16

3rd Person Cage Match Lv19

Incase you're wondering only 4.3k players online. :p

You can't use party talk in hardcore TDM? Seriously? Wtf Infinity Ward. The idea is stupid in the first place but HC TDM should have party chat at least ffs.

:p

Just tried this online in mercs TDM and...

For Christ sake. It's fantastic. **** you IW. **** you for taking everything that makes my PC unique then making an excellent MP shooter.

I'm enjoying it, loads of unlocks. For instance:

- 22 pages of titles (you get for various things like getting the most stabs in a round or cutting the most people down on a kill streak)

- 7 pages of emblems

- Loads of challenges for weapons

- For perks

- For secondary weapons

- For using your equipment

The weapons are balanced so far, even the death streaks are reasonable, painkiller is only for the initial respawn for example. Talking of weapons secondary weapons now cover: Shotguns, Machine pistols, handguns and launchers. Which is nice because those twats who try to melee me get a mouthwash of buckshot each time they try. To top that off. Almost every secondary weapon has further unlocks like a tac knife so you can stab faster etc.

You also get rewarded for EVERYTHING. Kill someone, get XP, kill someone on a streak, get XP, die a lot and get a kill, get XP. Like the SP, it's a very slick version of MW.

Edit: The maps, oh the maps. They are vast, small, varied, open, closed. I've got a crush on their maps designers at the moment. Jesus I'm gushing about MW2. ARGH.

Edit II: Forgot to mention, you'll love this, you only get... 1 nade/semtex/knife per spawn! So there is no more spawn nade spamming! You do get two special nades though! :D

Edited by Spookie

The guy used his real name of Craigslist and provided the same email across Facebook/Craigslist/etc. Impressive story but such a dumb criminal!

Edit: Thanks for the update without really any spoilers, I really appreciate it Spookie! I'm glad to hear that the designers didn't f up the maps like they did for Halo 3 (in my opinion). Halo 2 had nice small to medium sized maps but then all Halo 3 feels like it has is insanely huge maps. My dislike for huge maps is because of how bad they slow the combat down/game overall.

God damn it!! No hardcore domination AGAIN! Domination was the best mode alongside Headquarters.

WOO HOOO! :D Gotta go collect mine from Parcelforce Norwich tomorrow :D God i'm happy! :D

I don't think Parcelforce are going to release them until Monday for delivery, unless they already carded you.

Although I guess its worth a try!.

Just Pre-Purchased the game on Steam despite all the hate the PC version is getting! Thing is I have no problem with the matchmaking system on the consoles, so the way I see it I'm just getting the 360 version but I get anti-aliasing and I'm able to use mouse and keyboard, plus I only paid ?35 rather than the ?40+ I would've paid for the console version.

I can't wait for this game!

I'll be waiting for your review of the IW.Net beta test before I spend one cent on this game. I'm OK with using Steam groups to game with friends, it's the connection speed that I'm worried about.

For some reason when I think of MW2 and the 360 port I get a vision of Halo 2 for PC and the laggy mess MP was there.

    • 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
