Having control of the chopper lasts WAY too long. They need to trim that down to 15 seconds max. He easily got 7-10 kills each time he got the chopper...not really liking how unbalanced that is...

I'm a bit worried too because the chopper sat where they spawned and it made getting kills way to easy.

Kinda hard to kill him though when all he has to do is fall back, look to the other side, get a couple kills and he has another kill streak and wipes them out again...

Umm let's just remember, he is a sniper so killing him isn't difficult. Go around to the side and just shoot him. If he has UAV and sees you coming, it still isn't a big deal because as long as you aren't a sniper, you have an automatic gun and are within a close distance to him.

He had his machine gun as a secondary too. but I agree, the spawning of the chopper and the amount of time the user got to control it don't seem balanced AT ALL :(

Wtf is up with this game - I just watched the WA2000 sniper video, first of all that weapon is not even in prodution anymore and hasnt been for years. Second of all, you can dual wield sawn-off shotguns. What the hell were they thinking add sawn-off shotguns to the game!?

dont they still need a central server for things like matchmaking and stuff?

Exactly

IW servers will crumble tomorrow :p just like COD4

Game arrived this morning, PC version, and it REQUIRES steam and an internet connection to install. I've got my PC sitting here with no internet at the moment due to building works, and am now forced to use my laptop to play it which has wireless connection. Another kick in the teeth for PC users, thanks Activision.

Edit/ and now it's saying my CD key is invalid -_-' I'm running out of teeth activision...

Edit2/ because it's not released yet so steam stops you installing and says code is invalid. So i get it delivered a day early and cant play even single player, yet console users can. Awesome.

Wow, PC gamers are sure getting the pwned this time around. Neutered game, and it's Steam locked even if you buy it early retail lol

Amazing.

Having it connected with Steam is a good thing, Punkbuster cheat protection is 10x worse.

Although everything else, thoughts already shared :p

I went with the console version, seeing as I got it for the same price the PC version would be and there's actually basically no benefit to getting it on the PC now over console... aside from graphical improvements.

lol just read this.

They're "arcading" MW2 out to the max, it shall be fun but it'll be even more like Halo than ever before now. I still can't wait for the noobs to proclaim it's the most realistic FPS they've ever played :p

    • SpaceX reportedly plans a Starlink mobile service for U.S. consumers

      But we are talking about Elon Musk, no AT&T... I know big companies are evil, but Elon and his companies are in another level which is much more dangerous.
    • New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      New PowerToys update fixes memory leaks and other issues by Taras Buria Another bug-fixing update is available for PowerToys version 0.100. After releasing version 0.100.1 with a bunch of bug fixes and patches, Microsoft pushed version 0.100.2 to address two important issues with one of Command Palette Dock's features. With PowerToys 0.100.2, Microsoft fixed the performance meter displaying incorrect values and memory leaks, which are particularly unwanted things in the current situation with overpriced PC hardware. Here is the changelog: Reverted a Performance Monitor dock refresh change that forced item refreshes on every metric update Fixed a memory leak in the Performance Monitor dock extension by reusing stable network upload/download band items instead of creating new list items on each refresh For those unfamiliar, Command Palette Dock is a relatively new addition to PowerToys. It is a taskbar-like tool that you can keep on top of the screen to pin various useful widgets, commands, and more. It can display time, weather, your PC's performance metrics, and more. Microsoft introduced the Command Palette Dock in March 2026 in PowerToys 0.98. Microsoft has dedicated documentation for Command Palette Dock, and you can check it out on the official Microsoft Learn website. You can update PowerToys to the latest version by going to Settings > General and clicking "Check for updates." Alternatively, you can download the installer from GitHub using this link. In other news, Microsoft is working on a new window-management utility for PowerToys. Called Alt Window Cycle, it will let you use the Alt + ` shortcut to switch between different windows in a single app. You can learn more about the tool here.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      You did take leaf out of Trumps book already and had brexit - only to harm yourself. The same goes with this AI nonsense. The obvious solution for these companies is to move their head office to Brussels. I can see quite much irony there... 🙂

    • Windows 10 quietly gets one more year of support and updates

      Wonder if they are trying to slow down Linux traction (not saying this is the only factor) in the consumer space. With the most pressure probably being steam deck/box, etc.
