[Official] Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2


Recommended Posts

^

Best thing I've done so far is get one of those missile drops and blow up a harrier right after the enemy spawned it :p I was like at first OH CRAP THE HARRIER IS RIGHT THERE BUT IT MIGHT NOT BE ALLOWED TO HIT IT, then just tried it and boom, harrier down.

But aye I was like WTF when I spawned one myself, just tore apart the enemy team in seconds, think I did wrack up more than 10 kills.

I didn't play too much COD4, but I do have to admit the multiplayer is like sugary candy on a kids birthday cake, it's just packed with a ton of crap/aids/perks/etc. I haven't decided if that's good or bad yet, I'm having fun, but as I said I didn't play too much COD4 to know how it compares.

Certainly won't be my GOTY, but I'm a SP > MP guy, so no matter how good it was with the MP, I still wouldn't have awarded it (some strong SP this year).

well i just finished the game.. and its 2 times more engaging then MW1 :)

i loved every bit of the campaign.. and well the ice rock thing is done by pressing right mouse button.. keep it pressed and press left mouse button.. now dun leave left mouse button and press right mouse button..

all the parts where it was a little scripted were AWESOMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

in all i can say the game was LEGEND---------------- wait for it ::::::::::::::::::::::::: DARYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!

oh and i havnt even played specops yet. :D

Someone's been watching far too much How I met your mother..... :p

Oh no, I am having fun but think about it - How long will that cake keep you full and what happens when the sugar buzz wears off? ( Epic analogy! >.> ) right now, the only thing keeping me interested is hype and the 'freshness' of it all but all the downsides will hit very, very hard when the novelty wears off.

Gametrailers.com Invisible Walls segment just did an episode on MW2 to sum it up they said:

3/4 of them though MW1 SP was better, most appeared unsure on the MP citing it as having a learning curve akin to EVE Online and the Airport scene just put the industry back 10 years.

Yet it got a 9.5, funny how much power publishers have in this ****ty industry these days.

The MP has a learning curve similar to EVE? Are they actually serious? If they are, I'm never going to watch another GT video again, seriously.

:rolleyes:

Let me put that in context they said that there are people who have been playing MW1 for 2 years now and people who are completely green or only played the original for a short period of time will find them selfs staring at the killcam or hiding in buildings from attack choppers for 10-15 hours (their words) at the start.

Just completed the game a few minutes ago. I took my sweet time :p The single player campaign was amazing. It was just like the first one but everything was improved. The graphics, the animation, the level design. The entire game felt really well polished and I didn't come across a single bug throughout my entire play session. The multiplayer is um poor. But the single player is why I got it (Same reason I got the original).

Bring on MW3 (Y)

The MP experience is absolutely amazing, you haven't seen anything if you haven't played Ground War. I don't even want to complete the SP campaign because the MP is so addicting.

So far my favourite gun is the M4A1 with the red-eye sight thing. What level do you unlock the sniper type gun that sees infared, in other words sees the enemy with their body heat? I saw some guy using it online.

Got it this morning and I've only been on the SP. But gawd I'm crap. I keep dying although I'm on the easiest difficulty...Meh, this is the first COD game I've bought, but I'm really good at Battlefield, Uncharted and MGS4. ??

What games arent like that?

And COD is like the point&shoot of digital cameras :p

Americas Army, EVE, Armed Assault = DSLR

COD = Camera for kids

seriously though, if you have played FPS before COD will probably be the easiest of them all online :p

you can get that for most guns including the m4a1, its not very good on a m4 though there is too much scope wobble

You can get it any level for most assault guns (if not all, not sure), its one you can unlock, either find it through by going thorugh the barracks menu or go through create class, under attachment Thermal Scope will be greyed out, press F2 and it should tell you what you need to do, (I think its get 20 kills with silencer attached)

M4 is a great gun, but i find the Scar is a lot better, is more accurate, more damage is done, though the fire rate is less,

For my .50 cal it was 20 kills with an Acog. Yes Acog on sniper is ****ty as hell and it's so annoying to have to get kills for it. But getting the Thermal kicks ass, and add in FMJ (bling perk) and you can call it a day.

I found a way to soothe my frustration; stay the hell away from Hardcore mode in the PC version :laugh:

Hardcore was the only mode I played on the 360 but it's only enjoyable because of one single thing, the controller. Everyone is 'gimped' the same way, everyone has a slower reaction time and you get away with so much more. Here, there's no dear mommy - Been spotted and you will die instantly and if you by some miracle do get behind cover, someone is bound to path-predict and kill you. So went back to regular mode and enjoying it a bit again, it's like returning to kindergarten, the only 3 games I played back in regular had me sitting at 23 - 3, 29 - 4 and 25 - 0! ( Didn't have the nuke :'( )

agreed, i had to deal with the Acog/50 cal, but now i have thermal/fmj and love it.

EDIT: And this knife throw is fracking epic :laugh:

Already posted a few pages back mate ;)

Also how many kills with what to unlock Shotgun attachment? Lulz

High sensitivity on the controller and lots of practice.

I did it already :D it was my second weapon slowing me down.. i didnt use a pistol for it but when i did u could see how much time it saves while reloading.

btw i play on the PC ... :)

but im nowhere good enough for multiplayer as i cant even end the game on regular :D lolx...

    • Microsoft further improving Windows 11 Taskbar with latest builds by Sayan Sen Microsoft has released new Windows 11 builds for users flighting the Experimental channels. The new builds are 26300.8758 for Windows 11 26H2, 28120.2374 for 26H1, and 29617.1000 for future platforms. There are improvements related to the Taskbar, File Explorer and more with the new update. The full changelogs are given below: First we have the build 26300.8758: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out [Taskbar] Taskbar customization just got easier. As we continue to make improvements to the Taskbar experience mentioned last month, we've introduced a dedicated Taskbar Size setting, making it simpler to find, understand, and personalize your ideal taskbar experience. UI showing the new Taskbar Size setting in Settings. We've also made refinements to the transitions between taskbar sizes for a smoother overall experience. [File Explorer] We've improved the reliability of thumbnail previews for cloud files in the Details pane. The pane has also been reorganized so file properties are easier to find and review at a glance. Fixed an issue where the OneDrive shortcut in File Explorer stops working when File Explorer is run in administrative mode. Fixed an issue where the confirmation dialog might display an internal Recycle Bin file name instead of the original file name when permanently deleting a file. [Sounds] Improved system sounds when using Windows in dark mode. Up next we have build 28120.2374: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out This update includes a small set of general improvements and fixes [Mobile Device Settings] You can add and manage your mobile devices in Settings under Bluetooth & Devices > Mobile Devices. On this page, you can manage features such as using your device as a connected camera or accessing your device's files in File Explorer. [Remote Recovery Management] Added a recovery remote management plug-in to extend WinRE management capabilities for MDM providers. [Input] The emoji panel (Windows key + period (.)) now uses GIPHY as the GIF provider, delivering a smoother GIF browsing and sharing experience following the deprecation of the Tenor API. Finally we have the changelog for Windows 11 build 29617.1000: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out [Windows Update] As announced in the Windows Update announce blog, we are now bringing a new unified update experience to reduce the number of reboots you see per month. We are starting by coordinating driver, .NET, and firmware updates to align with the monthly quality update, reducing the update experience to a single monthly restart. See the blog for more information. [Windows Magnifier] Magnifier now gives you more control over how you zoom. You can type an exact zoom percentage directly in the magnifier toolbar to land on precisely the level you need. We've also added preset step increments (5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 100%, 150%, 200%, and 400%) to the Settings dropdown, so you can jump to common levels in a single click. Whether you need a subtle boost or a dramatic close-up, Magnifier adapts to how you want to zoom. Enter an exact percentage or jump to preset steps —5% up to 400%. Feedback: Share your thoughts in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Accessibility > Magnifier. [Accessibility] We're introducing screen tint, a new accessibility setting that applies a color overlay across your entire display, softening its intensity so it's easier on your eyes throughout the day. If bright, saturated screens leave you with tired or sensitive eyes by the end of a long session, screen tint can help. Screenshot showing UI for screen tint in Accessibility, with color presets and a strength slider. To get started, open Settings > Accessibility (or press WIN + U) and look for screen tint under the Vision section. From there, you can: Pick from six preset colors or choose a custom color of your own. Adjust the tint strength slider from a subtle wash to full intensity. Night light warms your display to reduce blue light that can interfere with sleep. Screen tint reduces overall screen intensity to ease eye fatigue and light sensitivity during the day. They tackle different problems and you can use both at the same time, one working on warmth and the other on intensity. Note that turning on screen tint will disable color filters, and vice versa. If you currently rely on color filters, you might need to keep screen tint turned off. Feedback: Share your thoughts in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Accessibility > Narrator. [Voice Access] Voice Access now supports Portuguese (Portugal), Portuguese (Brazil), and Korean (South Korea). [Audio] Continuing our work on improving Sound Settings, we've made a few more updates in this build: We've adjusted the description text for the Allow option in properties for audio devices to include the current state of the device, to improve the clarity of the text and the purpose of the button actions. "Listen to this device" is now available in properties for audio devices, so you don't need to enter Control Panel for this functionality. [Multiple Desktops] Improved explorer reliability when switching between multiple desktops. [Storage] We've updated the dialog when creating a Dev Drive to now support specifying the size in GB instead of only MB. This has also been added when changing the size of volumes under Settings > System > Storage. [Personalization] This update improves color selection accuracy when adjusting your accent color to match your wallpaper when automatic accent color selection is enabled in Personalization settings. This update improves wallpaper persistence reliability across restarts and upgrades, including better support for large-resolution wallpapers and other scenarios to prevent solid color wallpaper fallback. [Display and Graphics] Improves the reliability and persistence of applying color profiles. You can view the official blog posts here (link1, link2, link3) on Microsoft's site.
