[Official] Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2


Recommended Posts

Took me 2 hours to finish the SP game on Veteran.

Very good story line, very good!

2 hours?

:blink:

You just unlocked the rocket launcher in Resident Evil :p

The game just feels like kill rooms to me so far, some nice use of set pieces, but my god those loading screens used to tell the 'story' are monotonous. The fact IW can create such good feeling set pieces makes it disappointing more work hasn't gone into story.

I care. I would've gotten the PC version if not for all the issues.

Agreed, that's why I've chosen the X360 version as well. I need to expand my X360 library anyway (It consists of PGR4, Halo 3, N+ and Forza 2 at the moment, other games on my profile are through friend's discs).

I think trophies are still bugged - I just completed the Ghost trophy and got nothing :angry: I've done it three times now and even followed the youtube trophy guide for it and nothing :angry:

My two friends who have ps3 + mw2 have completed that level without being seen or killed anyone 3 times each tonight, with no trophy.

It's a shame the PC version has gotten so much bad rap. This would've been my first Call of Duty game, too.

I'm not buying the 360 version asn I'm not paying to use Xbox Live anymore (Rarely play online. Maybe once a month).

Ah well. I'm gonna hold off again.

it's just not worth paying for. I perhaps will just download it from you know where
Who said I was going to steal it? You obviously have a guilty conscious. I can naturally get a free trial off my ISP since new games mostly come on their site in form of a free trial with the SP unlocked and MP unlocked. It's what you get when you pay premium price for the internet. Alternatively, I'll just go to a mates place a play it on a 360 but I'm not a big fan of consoles and controllers.

Right... "you know where" suddenly became your ISP. :laugh: cool story bro.

Here's my impression of the multiplayer iv got from the past 2 days:

Bad stuff : The matchmaking is a bit annoying, i mean u cnt choose what particular map u want to play on, you cant choose what team ur on which can get a bit confusin when u keep changing between the US and the Terrorists.

The whole "if the host quits the server is smoothly transfered to sum1 else" is a load of bull crap. Its happened to me 3 times today. First time, came up sayin it had sent the data to a new host and was waiting for there reply, 3min of waiting later, server timeout and got kicked to main lobby (so lost match bonus;s etc), i was confused as to why it didnt try to find another host if that one wasnt responding. Second time, took 2min to transfer to sum1 else. Third time around a minute.

The ping system is a bit sketchy 3green bars if ur <150ms 2 green bars if ur <200ms and yellow bars +250ms. these are approximations i made monitorin my ping on hlsw and wot cod was telling me. And u can tell who yellow bars but it doesnt seem to kick them, so i dont know what the max ping ur allowed is.

Spawning - Big problem on some maps, the amount of times iv spawed with an enemy a few meters behind me is stupid, and does bug me a bit

Ok thats all the bad stuff about mp on the pc iv found so far

Good stuff: I am growin to like some maps, even though a good few of them feel the same just with different skins. Weapon choice is very good as are the perk upgrades and attachments, though they got rid of Deep Penetration and instead made that a weapon attachment so u either have that or a scope. Its a bit annoying you cant unlock all the modes untill ur lvl50+ but i guess it keeps it more interesting that way so u dont get bored after a while. Spec ops is quite fun, though havent tried that on co-op yet

Overall view: Its an alrite game, I spent ?25 on it and for that its good value, but there is no way id pay more for it for the pc. To me i can see it being a great console game but a bad PC game, they really did develop it for consoles and ported it to the pc

I'm thinking about getting this but can't make up my mind between XBox 360 version and PC version. PC version is $59.99 (wtf?) and I have more friends that have the 360 version. But I like keyboard mouse for FPS more than gamepad.

Join the other million of us PC gamers who are all getting it on console instead of PC.

Bad stuff : The matchmaking is a bit annoying, i mean u cnt choose what particular map u want to play on, you cant choose what team ur on which can get a bit confusin when u keep changing between the US and the Terrorists.

Same as the other Call of Duties.

I prefer it that you can't choose the map, less boring that way.

The actual matchmaking seems slower though :turned:

    • 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.
