[Official] Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2


Recommended Posts

I'm not that hardcore with MW2 (yet :)), what's Spec ops? Is it playable on 360? Certain version of the game necessary? Thanks!

Spec Ops is a Co-Op game mode that is on all versions of the game (As far as I'm aware, I'm only dubious about the PC version). There is no version necessary to play this.

Well once you've finished SP add tehspookeh on live if you need a co-op partner for Spec ops. :)

Ima add you today Spookie, if you don't mind :). My gamertag is veritas310. You're in the UK? Time difference might put a damper on the co-op but who knows!

It's like the challenge rooms in Batman: AA. Only more difficult. :|

YEEEEEEEEAH just went on a rampage, killed 22 people in one life! Admittedly I only got 10, but my kill streak rewards included the Harrier. :D

Done. I'm up at all hours so no worries. :p

So who has played in MP on PC yet? I wanta see how IWnet works.

I have been playing most of the morning. Haven't had any major issues. Received the host migration message once, but that was all.

Most of the unlocks are for vet.

Quick tip for MP, though the radar scrambler may seem cool at first, it's like a beacon saying "HI YEAH YOU FOUND ME". I've killed countless people with that today, ready down my sights before they could get a shot off.

Wait what?

Surely a scrambler is the opposite of a beacon no? :s

I'm on the intro mission and halfway through the range my game gives me either a black screen or a white screen when I get to a similar spot each time. I just upgraded my PC too, hadn't reformatted. Anyone else having similar problems?

Headed to Toys R Us after work to pick this up, since I have the gift card from ODST. They better still have copies! (I expect they will.)

Plan on going through on the easiest setting first playthrough, then on Veteran later on.

oh man, that's just nasty. I *nearly* bought via steam and I'm glad I didn't. That's just down right nasty of them, if you buy PC retail and install it's unlocked, if you buy on steam it's locked another two days. Naturally the steam forums are RAGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE at the moment as there was nothing said about this before hand.

My Understanding is the Hardened Edition comes with it included for the MSRP of $79.99, but it will also be released as a downloadable arcade title later for eitehr 1200 or 1600 MS points.

Personally I would go buy the Hardened Edition at a Toys R Us if you have one so then you could get a $20 Gift Card as well.

the trophies dont really bother me, the weaksauce sound mix is a is a big problem though, maybe i am just spoiled by uncharted2 and its great audio but mw2 doesnt even use the centre channel for voices making it hard to hear what people are saying.

Really? FS, that sucks hard.

I hate developers that trade off audio as if it's completely irrelevant. To me I'd even go as far to say audio > graphics. Poor show Infinity Ward if the above is true, you have the money to produce good audio.

Sainsburys have dispatched my copy, will arrive tomorrow. Was worth paying ?26 for it.

By the way, Play MW2 on PS3, win a Cpt. “Soap” MacTavish statue.

Guys I bought it some hours ago for PC and one of the DVD-s didn't work! It just spinned around in the drive for hours. After a billion tries finally it started working...

I'm not going to buy another game from them, ever. Wish I had purchased Left 4 Dead 2 instead...

Anyway, will write my experience when I finally get to play it.

Got the game this morning for ?17 after trading in 2 games. :DD

I'm loving it so far but I'm feeling the pacing isn't working as well for me as I think it is intended to. At parts I feel the game is trying to be some epic amazing fireworks show but I just don't always know what it wants me to do. It wants me to juggle where the hell I'm going as well as single handedly taking down an army of men!

The multiplayer is really where it's at for me, and I'm glad that this is up to scratch. So much to explore, so many perks, attachments, guns and kill/deathstreaks to try out.

So far the singleplayer, for me, is quite underwhelming but the multiplayer is top notch.

    • For a guy who claims to hate Farage and the ignorant, gullible, rightwing racist skinheads sponsored by Putin that his lies represent, you sure are quoting them time and time and time again, mate. I guess you're conveniently ignoring the fact that your country and commonwealth just happened to work much better when it was still part of the E.U.? Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.
    • 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.
