[Official] Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2


Recommended Posts

Just got mine in morrisons for ?25.99 (ended up spending ?47 ther:laugh:h: ), no queues, no fuss, took a while to find the box lol.

Although it was great for me, I kind of feel Morrisons dropped the ball on it, seeing as how much Sainsburys advertised.

I also need amazon to drop their price no:(:( , as i've got a 'dispatching soon' order since yesterday.

I don't really get what's lol worthy about that. They said quite clearly they aren't talking censorship but how they can ensure shops don't sell games like MW2 to kids whilst also supporting our great video game industry in this country.

Absolutely. I agree with them too. As long as adults can make the games they want, and adults can then buy the games they want, without any censorship it's all good. Children shouldn't really be buying or playing these games. I think it does come down to parenting too. The parents should be taking an interest in the games their child is playing and if they think it's too violent or inappropriate they shouldn't get them it. Wonder how many parents were queuing up at midnight so their kid could play MW2 before school.

I've also got a weird bug, that I can only assume was triggered when I got signed out of PSN. It no longer updates what my friends are doing (at least 2 of them). Can't be bothered to reset my console - I'll just play story instead.

Damn, reading through this thread, I'm becoming less hopeful that Best Buy or Future Shop will have copies available this morning. It sounds like a lot of those midnight launches were actually pretty packed. Still, I'll try though.

I'm buying the 360 version, but I believe my brother is buying the PC version (despite my best attempts to dissuade him). At least I'll be able to see just how bad IWNet really is.

Labour MP Keith Vaz, who has strongly criticised the new game, questioned Minister for Creative Industries Si?n Simon on protectingchildren> from its "violent" content.

It's 18 rated, children shouldn't even be playing it.

I personally actually like the fact they got away from dedicated servers on PC version. The reason for this was that there was too much hacking, there were too many pirated versions and you had no real control over who was playing the game and cheating was rampant.

IWNet system solves these issues because it keeps stuff going through IW and uses Steam like anti-cheat.

What Bowling (FourZeroTwo) said:

The biggest benefit of using IWnet by far is the fact that you don't have to worry about joining a server full of aim-bots, wallhacks, or cheaters," Bowling writes. "Or relying on the server admin of the server to constantly be monitoring, banning, and policing it.
i think traditionally, you try to get there before the stock runs out... one thing led to another and now its midnight releases and super long queues

Can't this issue be alleviated by pre-orders though?

because aside from getting the game a bit early, one could say that the social atmosphere is where its at. some of us do get out of our houses and socialize with the rest of the world.

i met some people, great convo and had a blast. it was an great turnout at my gs location. even met a couple friends i havent seen in over 10 yrs. it was great.

hmm, i couldve ordered and had it shipped to me. F that, never have, never will. i enjoy the experience too much to sit at home on my ass.

on another note, i got home and played some mp. lvl 9 and called it. i didnt get to play any sp at all cause my son/babymoms asleep. i like to hear the action. all the yelling, cries, especially my orders! lol so i settled for earpiece and some mp till later on today.

fantastic game. was great to listen to everyone ingame enjoying themselves as much as me. theres sooo much packed into the mp! will we ever finish?

And I stopped reading after that. Did you honestly think my entire reason for posting was so I didn't have to leave the house? :rolleyes: I was getting to the point of saying some of us lead slightly busy lives and dropping all that for a game seemed a bit silly.

Either way, after work and before class today I'll be grabbing mine. Won't have time to play it until I get back from class at 4:30pm. Unfortunately I have got an insane accounting test to study for this week, how cruel is that?!?

    • I and many others did not vote to get out of the E.u because of Putin or Farage, we did so for our own reasons. You don't have to tel me what my own did or did not do when it comes to the E.U. The EEC is or was the European Economic Community, a different beast to what the E.U is now.The EEC was a mainly about trading, the E.U have gone far beyond that and as I have said before, is now more of a United States of Europe. The U.K did not vote to join a United States of Europe. Anyway, they did not want us in there in the first place, Charles de Gaulle stopped us joining as he claimed we didn’t agree with the core ideas of integration. He was not wrong and that is why we voted out of the E.U when the time came. I was not old enough to vote the first time. My only regret is that we did not have the referendum years ago and got out years ago. If we rejoined, we would have to agree to join the Euro and no doubt Schengen, agree with freedom of movement, we have enough problem with people coming over here as it is. i have no problem with people coming over here if they work and don't try to push their way of life onto us. The E.U has a currency, freedom of movement, an anthem a flag, a parliament, well they are there, not sure if they do anything. Don't sound like something that is just for trading. Oh yeah, also wanted a euro Army. How many stupid rules have the E.U made that we had to follow? I doubt I will see the Uk rejoin the E.U, which suits me. Oh yeah, my partner is Polish, she came over here before Poland joined the E.U and she got fed up of people just coming over here with ease, while she had to struggle. She is now a British citizen and have been for a fair few years
    • Hello, Paul. Thanks for the editorial. It was interesting. I'm going research more into the app and its concept. Of course, if you know me at all, you know that I'd say your articles needs some editing! I a;ways do, don't I? For instance, the article occasionally mentions a concept before defining it, e.g., relays.
    • Screamer is 50% off on Steam, making it £24.99 here in the UK: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2814990/Screamer/ You might remember the series from the mid 90s / early 2000s, this new game is also by Milestone who created the older games.
    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.
