i may be wrong but, i couldve sworn it was THEIR servers that lacked. nothing to do with psn at all. they couldnt handle the load...awwwwwwww. apparently more people own ps3's than they thought.

matchmaking is done on their end. theres really no excuse for neglect.

Played 3-4 hours MP yesterday and reached level 21

You dont unlock the hardcore modes until level 19 which is what I was aiming for

My god wtf have they done to this game? They certainly made more suitable for tacticool kids

Silencers on high caliber sniper rifles, light machine guns and ****in shotguns WTF!?

I enjoy the game very much but that is the dumbest **** I have ever seen

This is the average gun in MW2:

Ah...so it was the match making servers that got hammered last night on the PSN network...pity ~I hope the sort it out soon....Just played a few hours last night on SP and had the goodness of dual wielding Uzi's!!

Activisions PS3 Matchmaking Server's were hammered. They felt they had sufficient servers online for ps3's mp demand.

boy were they wrong. they added more servers to allow 20,000 simultaneous queries.

they just felt they had to wash their hands by saying it was a psn issue for some reason. said 'it broke'. lol, riiiight.

Not to mention they said they had "15 brand new MP maps!" and like, 5 or 6 are just reskinned maps from COD2/4 lol again!

So which CoD4 maps have made a reappearance? Because I hope that Crash and Crossfire are back!

Going through Veteran at the moment, I'm happy they toned down how annoyingly broken it could be at the Veteran difficulty with the constant grenades and constant re-spawns.

WaW was highly highly annoying for this, but MW2 seems to be the actual game, just harder.

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

This. I have bought EVERY cod game so far until now, this is a huge slap in to face to all pc gamers and I can't believe they did this. It is incredibly stupid as well, they had a good model in mw1 that pc gamers loved, why do all this work on iwnet and such if all it is going to do is enrage their whole pc fanbase?

Going through Veteran at the moment

Hats off to you there (and everyone else that's doing/done Veteran). I completed it last night on Hardened (loved it) and then started again on Veteran... Can't say I'm enjoying it as much because so far I've had my arse handed to me about 50 times in a row :(

I was a late-comer to the COD series (only picked up COD4 around this time last year) and my hopes of any decent online action went straight away when my mates invited me and I realised I had a pea-shooter whilst everyone else had full blown machine guns resulting in me being continually slaughtered (glad they've introduced death-streaks in MW2) and so I stuck to single player but never felt I was particularly good at it.

I think my main fault is coming from things like Halo where you can get in the open and take a battering without worrying too much means my style of play is completely wrong for games like this. I've started trying to adapt but I still screw up at times and get a bit gung-ho which quickly results in my death :p Any tips from you guys on how to tackle Veteran (or just general playing tips) would be welcomed if you don't mind.

I personally thought the story line was brilliant, after I understood what was happening I changed my opinion of it not making any sense.

I hope it is because I haven't completed my first run through yet and at least in the game it's been more than once where I was "what the hell is happening"

Played my first few games online, as usual I suck at fast paced FPS games haha. Always dieing, got a few kills.

Bloody DS charge ran out, gotta recharge it just now, I'll play some more later.

The matchmaking doesn't seem to do a good job of putting you with people your level, I had tons of high level players in my few games :/

We were actually just talking about this last night when I was playing, the matchmaking is more or less non existent, just once in awhile you end up with people on your level. I really do not think they do it.

So my K/D Ration first day of playing 1.22, after playing yesterday my K/D Ratio is now .63 or even lower as that was the last time I checked. I guess people know the maps already. LOL

And this is why I have a love / hate relationship with this MP game. I am either doing okay or doing horrible, no in between it seems, and I really wish there was a better matchmaking system in place cause when I am with people the same level as me I tend to do good or real good.

Sounds like I'm screwed then. I'll be able to play MP for the first time Friday but man I am getting nervous my KDR is going to take a dive from the start.

Wasn't this how matchmaking was more or less in the original though (level matchup wise)?

Glad to see other people getting it. I was like there's no way the game has sold 6 million copies and counting and so far and EVERYONE is level 25+ :laugh:

Heck there's always level 1~9 characters in games, even months later.

It's pretty poor IMO, not that beginner friendly. I mean it does try to balance in that I had like a level 30+ player, and two high teens, where as the other team were in like the low/mid 20's. However me at level 1 trying to combat level 20's with better weapons/perks ect is rather unfair.

    • Uninstalr 3.1

      By Copernic · Posted

      Uninstalr 3.1 by Razvan Serea Introducing Uninstalr: Easy to use and very accurate software uninstaller for Windows. It can uninstall multiple apps at the same time and we think it’s pretty cool. Developed with expertise by Macecraft Software - the minds behind jv16 PowerTools. Key Features Batch uninstall many apps at the same time. Supports unattended uninstallation of apps. Supports monitoring of new software installations. Also detects portable apps and previously uninstalled software leftovers. Shows all the data added to your system by installed software on a file by file basis. Shows all the data it will remove before starting the uninstallation. Filter and search the list of installed software. According to our benchmark, Uninstalr is the most accurate software uninstaller by leaving the least amount of leftovers when uninstalling apps. Supports detection and uninstallation of Microsoft Store, Steam, Big Fish Game System, Chocolatey, NuGet and Ninite installed software. Supports Windows Dark Mode. Supports Windows 11, 10, 8 and 7. Comes with these translations builtin: Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Czech, Danish, English, Filipino, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese. Has a single executable file portable version and a normal setup version. Uninstalr is freeware, lightweight and easy to use. No bells and whistles, no nonsense. Uninstalr’s custom uninstallation engine has a dedicated support for the detection and uninstallation of 15 types of apps: Normal Windows apps Microsoft Store apps Portable apps Chocolatey apps Ninite apps PortableApps.com apps Steam games EA App games Epic Games Store games Riot platform games GOG Galaxy games WarGaming.net games Battle.net games itch.io games Big Fish platform games Uninstalr 3.1 changelog: Key Changes Uninstalr now starts and shows the list of installed apps faster after the initial scan has been completed, and with much smaller memory usage. Uninstalr now detects and highlights apps that automatically start with Windows. Greatly improved the detection of portable apps. Improvements New feature: Uninstalr now detects and highlights apps that automatically start with Windows. New feature: Uninstalr now highlights possible leftovers and apps from Russia and China. This can be disabled from the Settings. New feature: A new filter that allows you to show only software that is installed to other than the system drive. New feature: Users can now select to always do the deepest and the most accurate scan for installed apps, at the cost of the analysis taking a longer time. Greatly improved the detection of portable apps, such as added dedicated support for MiTeC, EZ Tools and SysInternals tools. Improved support for portable apps installed via Windows System Control Center (WSCC). NirSoft portable apps are now listed with "NirSoft" prefix for easier identification. Improved the speed of uninstalling apps. The main installed software listing search will now find "Xbox GameBar" if you search for "Game bar" and vice versa. The tooltip now displays more detailed information of the installed apps, such as its registry key and uninstaller path. The links in the About section now look more like clickable links. The main menu is now more clearly indicated in the main user interface. Microsoft Teams Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office ships with some Windows 11 installations and is now considered a builtin Windows app and only listed if builtin Windows apps filter is enabled. Added a Help button to the main user interface that opens the help section of the website. Added an option not to close Uninstalr after uninstallation. If you open the Uninstalr website from the app, the website now receives the version number of your current Uninstalr version and warns you if you are using anything but the latest version. Improved the accuracy of the New Software Monitor. Improved confirmation messages for Steam and other platform related uninstalls. Improved the uninstallation performance of Steam games. Fixes: Known bug fixed: Some installed app names are capitalized incorrectly, such as "CCleaner Portable" is listed as "ccleaner portable". Known bug fixed: Some apps can be listed twice, for example, Smart Defrag can be listed once as Smart Defrag and then Smart Defrag Home. Known bug fixed: On the pre-uninstallation screen, the Scripts checkbox can be checked by default on Dark Mode but not on the normal mode. Known bug fixed: Perform Deep Analysis can be started only by clicking the button, not via the Right Click menu, main menu or F4 keyboard shortcut. Muse Hub could be incorrectly listed as Adobe Muse. SyncTrayzor was incorrectly detected as two unrelated software, SyncTrayzor and Syncthing. Smart Defrag was incorrectly listed twice as Smart Defrag 11 and Smart Defrag Home. It was possible to enter non-printable characters to the search input boxes of the main screen, and the path listing screen, which caused the UI to look funny. Changing the translation from Settings, especially many times in a row, caused the UI to distort. If you had multiple instances of portable apps on your system, such as the 64b and 32b versions of the same portable app, typically only one of them was detected, not both. In some very rare cases, Uninstalr UI could start with random characters in its search input boxes, which could make the UI look rather confusing. This was a rare issue, only reported by two users. The pre-uninstallation screen could display non-existing paths for example as the software's installation directory or main exe file. This was a cosmetic issue. New Software Monitor cannot detect the installation of Claude. Selecting all the found software made the UI look funny with the top panel covering everything else (because the names of all the selected software were listed there). Sometimes a Steam game could be listed a normal app instead of a Steam game. If the system restart after an uninstallation is delayed, e.g. because of Windows Updates being installed, this additional delay is incorrectly added to the time how long the uninstallation process took. This cosmetic bug could cause the program incorrectly report an uninstallation time longer than the actual uninstallation time. Uninstalling Minecraft could simply fail. The Only scan the system drive for installed apps setting does not fully work. If some apps are installed to a non system drive and this setting is enabled, the app could still be detected and listed on the main user interface. Changing any settings could also incorrectly alter the Only Scan The System Drive For Installed Apps setting. Microsoft OneDrive and Copilot are not always detected. If you enter something to the search filter field, then select the text and press the Delete key, this triggers the Uninstall button click even if your intent was to delete the text input. If you press the F5 key to refresh the screen during the uninstallation loading screen, the program will crash. If you enabled some setting, such as "Do not analyze installed app installation sizes", it could automatically be unchecked later. Uninstalr doesn't warn you if you try to remove Fortec antivirus. There should be a warning if user attempts to remove any antivirus or antimalware type program. Such programs should not be uninstalled using a third party uninstaller, as they are typically protected against automated uninstallation, for security reasons. With "Do not analyze installed app installation sizes" option checked from the Settings, Uninstalr could still display some installation size related elements in the UI which was confusing. The "Only scan the system drive" option moved under Improve Scan Speed from the General settings. If two software have the exact same name and version number, selecting both of them for uninstallation fails because only one is actually selected. Sorting the installed apps by size sometimes fails and the order is incorrect. The "Don't show which paths are currently analyzed" did not work correctly - some parts of the UI still show the currently analyzed path with this setting checked. The "Don't list software less than 10 MB" filter did not work correctly - some apps smaller than 10 MB could still be listed. Uninstalr could start very quickly and display an empty list of detected apps. Restarting the app usually fixed the issue and the list of installed apps was properly displayed. If you placed portable Uninstalr to a same folder with other portable apps, those were not detected because Uninstalr automatically added its installation folder to the ignore list. When trying to uninstall some specific software, Uninstalr could get stuck on the Searching for more data relating to the app phase. Uninstalr could sometimes do a silent uninstallation even if user had unchecked the Perform a silent uninstallation option. Known issues: Uninstalr can fail to run with an Out Of Memory error in systems that have a lot of installed apps. Using the New Software Monitor tool multiple times during one session can cause the program to get stuck on the Scanning stage. The "uninstallation completed" message box sometimes closes when the user moves the mouse cursor over the button before user clicks it. There is no feedback for the user after Fix Information feature has been used. The Right Click menu's Select by publisher option can display the number of apps per each publisher without correct vertical alignment. The default user interface might not display all of the found installed apps if you have over 600 installed apps. If you do, using the Screen Reader Compatible Interface solves the issue. Leftover apptype filter checkbox is shown in red font only in Dark Mode. Clicking the app's icon from the Windows Taskbar doesn't minimize/restore the app like other apps. The warning about an app that user wishes to uninstall being related to some other app user did not select can sometimes be inaccurate. If app's language is changed without restarting Uninstalr, the list of installed software might not automatically refresh. When software is being uninstalled, the UI can say it is processing paths unrelating to the uninstalled app. This is purely cosmetic and does not mean these paths are removed. Uninstalr might not properly detect and/or uninstall Steam games if they are installed to a drive different than Steam's default location in C:\. You might see "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed" error message from Windows Installer during uninstallation. This is a cosmetic issue.

      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 always do, don't I? For instance, the article occasionally mentions relays before defining it.
