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.

Correctamundo! :yes:

PASS PASS PASS PASS!

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.

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
