[Official] Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2


Recommended Posts

Is it getting cheaper for PC as well or what? I'd rather buy it for PC because that's my preferred format generally.

I'm a PC gamer and say get it for the 360. The loss of so many features makes it not worth it.

One thing im disappointed with i dont think there is an equal to mile high club is there? (replaying cod4 now :p)

Yeah. Spec ops. It's only 2 players for who ever asked.

looking forward to this, but just watched the airport slaughter scene, and wow, it's a lot heavier than i thought it would be... regardless of context, it just seems a little wrong. but i guess i'll give it a final judgement when i've completed the game.

my main concern is how it'll affect more messed-up/pursuadable kids. also, it certainly won't help quash certain establishments hatred for video games.

It's rated 18, only adults should be playing it. If not and the parent's know their kid is a bit messed-up and bought it them. Well...

ive noticed that quite a few copies were sold/ shipped early and a lot of people have already passed the game and have given their critiqued on it. I wonder if any prestige editions have been taken home and opened yet? I've been dieing to hear about the quality of the night vision goggles! soo if anyone has seen anything online about the verdict on the goggles please post it here! :)

Quick side note...

Ghost = Gaz? http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0265492/

Well he dies again so who knows maybe he'll be Ghoul in MW3? :laugh:

Just got lucky on a supply drop and got an AC130 to play with. As you'd imagine it's like bringing a machine gun to a fist fight. Killed 4 people in my first shot. :D

In the NE of the USA? Come on down! (and get your copy of MW2 now that is) Edit: Image of the receipt

Edit II: A couple of thoughts, copied from twitter, from one of my fave critics, Charlie Brooker- "MW2 is fun, and brilliantly made, and spectacular, but it's basically 'Bond Goes to War', but more pretentious. The 'nasty level' is pretty hard to justify given how daft the rest of it is. The story is pretty incoherent & dumb if you ask me. The pompous use of historical / philosophical quotations each time you die just underlines how stupid it is. It's the A-Team. BUT the level design is first-class, and it's all as immersive, exciting & scary as being chased by a rabid dog would be in real life. Yes, nitpickers, I KNOW all the CoD games have pompous quotes in them; it's just that the juxtaposition seems even dumber here"

"In summary: it's very good, but it's not the flippin' messiah or anything. And it has the intellectual depth of Die Hard 4."

In the U.S. Toys R' Us is doing a $20 gift card if you buy the game from 10A.M. to 1P.M.

Seriously? Toys R' Us is becoming a revolving door for me. Thanks to them when I got ODST, I got a $20 gift card from them effectively making MW2 cost only $40. So it now looks like I will be receiving another gift card from them!

You know what I don't understand?

How are people who have somehow got this game early playing online?

I see all these new youtube vids of ppl playing online but doesn't it

ban you or something?...

Yeah thats one way of getting banned easier.. play it safe lol

Semtex nades are ace, if you're getting chased you can throw them to roofs so when the moron following you catches up they head a head full of shrapnel. Good for clearing out campers on 2nd floors too since most will think the nade has landed on the roof above.

Can't cook it off though which is a pain. Knife is a 1 shot, 1 kill item but takes skill to hit someone with.

Looks great Boz. The only thing that frustrates me is that there is going to be so many high levels already if they have stopped banning people.

A few of my buddies managed to get it early from some friends at gaming stores, I am told the stats all reset on the official release date.

    • We had no idea as kids how much time and energy it took to be an adult 😅
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
    • I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
