[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?!?

    • Do you live in the U.K? Do any of the people here that are against the UK leaving the E.U, live in the U.K? If not then why are you bothered? If you do live here then it is a different thing . Brexit was a good idea, should have done it years before, it was done badly, but the idea was good. You are saying the same thing as remainers do, oh we did what Putin wanted, we listened to the lies and Farage. I hate Farage and never believed most of what he said, certainly did not believe the £350m a week for the NHS. But we did pay a lot of money to the E.U and yes some of it came back, but what is the point of paying it out for only some of it to come back? Get out of the E.U, no money to them and in theory we can use the money to do things in the country. I said in theory, but our governments are a total and complete waste of space. No matter what colour rosette they wear. You and others say it was a mistake and yet the two main parties in the U.K are not looking at rejoining the EU, I wonder why that is? I was not tricked by anyone. Makes no odds now, we are out and have been for 10 years, what we need is a decent government to run the country. All they do is shout at each other like a load of kids and seems to do nothing and make this country more into a police and nanny state. Getting more like China all the time.

    • Yeah... The root of my comment, ostensibly, is how to spin the story via the actual technical merits of the solution! * Decentralized (aka federated) solution with built-in encrypted ephemeral message transport, * Transport via Relays (intermediary servers) with no message archival, * Second configurable pathway are actual email servers (if DNS records are programmed accordingly) via IMAP protocols carriage, * "Chat-over-Email" is the design pattern adopted; it can either leverage full-blown Email Server (must use the INBOX folder) to exchange all received messages/edits/reactions (so be weary of notifications overloads) [best practice is creating a separate email acct used explicitly for federated chat purposes!] or leverage its built-in Relay Server mechanism which actually resides on-device (by default but can be configured otherwise), * By virtue of be a decentralized/federated model, all other intermediary servers who may pass-along messages (while the recipient's final relay/device is inaccessible) cannot snoop on the messages due to the encrypted nature of contents. The intermediaries may, however, analyze the metadata due to the simple fact that routing mechanisms require hints for relay destinations. Unfortunately, whomever is posting about DeltaChat across socials are misleading with "zero metadata" claims -- especially when the Relays (according to their own technical documents) mandate the addition of chat-version metadata and other decorations in order to actually transport any message. -- Based on this summary, I'd prefer if they'd better dual-path message transport (email server add-in, federated relay engine) rather than patch-on email protocols to existing federated social media frameworks. They're frankensteining something rather than extending widely-deployed technology stacks.
    • Decentralized search result anonymization...
    • Russia invaded Crimea, so not sure what you are getting at. Are you saying that the E.U is like what the USSR was? What is wrong with wanting control over your own country? i bet Trump would not stand by and allow Canada to control the U.S.
