[Official] Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2


Recommended Posts

Pretty far through the Veteran campaign... may be on the last chapter; don't recall... I'm enjoying it far more than the other COD veteran campaigns. It feels more realistic, and no grenade spamming. I've actually died less than I did on the casual setting because I'm more careful.

Because I have never seen it In-game, neither have you or probably anyone else here.

It's so pathetic, so you just want to flail your arms in the air because of some text? The GAME works, the CONTROLS works and the GAMEPLAY is there - If that hasn't failed in the port, how the hell can it feel anything but a great port?

So all the ****ty ports back in the first days of PS3 were actually great ports because the GAME worked, the CONTROLS worked and the GAMEPLAY was the same and is there?

lol wtf

I find that SO annoying as well. I work hard to get care packages and sometimes they drop really good things. So if I die right after dropping a flare for the package and come back to find my package being stolen, I really let that guy hear it. For things like a UAV/Counter UAV, no big deal. I saw one guy stealing my AC-130 though and just lost it.

I just wish they would have upped the timer for taking others packages a little bit more.

Do care packages have an expiration on them or can they just sit there until they are used?

I see guys call them in and just never even use them, most of the time it is the UAV or Counter UAV ones, but still a UAV is a UAV so I am curious.

They were ****ty because they were INFERIOR to the main product, the PC version is oddly enough superior and thus I would never call it a bad port. So get over yourself and this unfounded hatred.

I think they just sit around.

I never experience that though, every time I've called one half the map enemies included charge towards it. Also yeah whoever said earlier it's annoying when your team mates use yours, +1.

There's times I call it in near team mates to help, or understand if I'm pinned down and someone else uses it (you get exp for sharing). However when I'm right next to it and someone comes along and nabs it it's annoying.

Speaking of care packages, who's had one fall on their head and kill them? Hahaha...it happened to my buddy when we were playing yesterday lol. That, and today I saw one land on the roof of a building, totally inaccessible to anyone lol.

Derail? The camping map. :(

As someone mentioned, pretty much every single map is a camping map but Derail is so much bigger and the atmosphere is awesome. I love laying in the shrubbery, hearing the wind and seeing the snow whirling around. I love sneaking around in it, I love camping out in it, I love firing a well placed WA2000 shot right in someone's face.

I'm one of those guys who just loves a great atmosphere :p

As for care-packages, yes, I've hand them land on roofs, highways running above and have them getting stuck in trees ... After that I decided to skip them - Now they are perfect bait for the chump who called them in, they rush to get them and ... boof, dead.

i had a uav one land outside the map on scrapyard :laugh: imo stealing a teammates is fair game but i wouldnt team kill for one even if it had a nuke in it

I don't think they do although like AB said, I've never seen one sit on a map longer than 2-3 minutes (they are quickly taken).

So far I have had that happen twice. The first one was due to sheer ignorance but the other one killed me after some wicked bounces off a tall building. :p

Tonight very well may have sealed the deal for me. I am now in the state of mind that I pretty much hate this game (all over) again.

I never wound up playing long enough to prestige in MW1, and I can almost without a doubt guarantee I will not for this either. It just gets to a point where enough is enough and it is no longer fun, and that was my whole night tonight.

Just not feeling the people who insist on talking smack and the people who play objective based modes without doing the objective and the overall mindset of most of the people playing. What is ironic is I suppose most of them would be considered really good players, but if being really good means your overall goal is to ruin everyone's time, count me out on that.

I just wish I was able to not let it get to me and still find enjoyment in spawning and being killed instantly, and I very well may have a night soon that makes me completely change my mind and love the game all over again. However tonight was literally perhaps one of the worst overall experiences I have ever had playing a MP FPS. What really sucks is I only feel this way when I party up with a group of people. It is absolutely a truly different game and experience when I play Team Death-match Mercenary (no parties of any kind are allowed) but that goes against the whole premise behind this MP, it is supposed to be about getting together with friends and playing with them, but whenever I have done that as of late, we go against another group of people who's sole purpose is about destroying any fun we are supposed to have.

Oh well, luckily I have Assassins Creed 2, Left 4 Dead 2 and the God Of War Collection to keep me occupied. I am now almost wishing I only rented this game.

And yes, I am fully aware I am whining and / or sound like a grumpy old man who just sucks and cannot stand the fact that I do suck. Thing is on my own I more can handle my own, so that is where the utter frustration stems from. It would be one thing if I felt I just completely sucked and did not handle my own when I play the Mercenary Mode, I could accept that and just write it off as I truly do suck. However I can and do play good at times, just for whatever reason in matches that I am in a party against other parties it just becomes absolutely hellish.

With that said, if anyone is ever up for Special Ops and you see me online, feel free to send me an invite to join you. I am only like 50% through that if that far and I enjoy that.

It's. Just. A. Game.

The reason you die vs parties is because they've found a tactic which works instead of just running and gunning. I'd see it as a challenge to find a counter-tactic which disrupts their style. A good example of this is in Karachi where I've seen a few teams who stick to the buildings and next to never come out into the open. I never party up (mostly because none of my or my friends' invites work regularly enough).

Mind you, I also prefer Mercenary Team Deathmatch too :p It does seem to be a better game and it's LOVELY when you find a game with a group of people who are all of a similar level (not talking ranks).

I like following the guy at level 50 and seeing where he goes - far too often he's a camping sniper though :( but I tend to hang around behind him to protect his ass :cool:

That annoys the hell out of me and I absolutely hate that map :p

The only thing I've found with MW2 is I just cannot play it for a long period of time without getting bored. Usually 1~2 hours is the max I can do. Which may seem pretty normal but I've played other MP games for hours before :p I didn't even play much MW so it's not as if I'm burnt out on the formula.

    • 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.

    • Microsoft Weekly: 5 years of Windows 11, more support for Windows 10, and expensive Xbox by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft giving Windows 10 one more year of support, Windows 11 getting new taskbar settings in preview updates, Steam Machine prices, higher XBOX prices, and many more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. On June 24, 2026, Windows 11 turned five. The controversial operating system was released half a decade ago, and during these years, it received a fair share of criticism (such as poor Windows Search and its web results), which Microsoft is now actively addressing with regular preview updates that deliver missing, long-requested features. With Windows 12 nowhere to be seen on the horizon, it will be interesting to see if Windows 11 can stay on the market for as long as Windows 10 did. Speaking of Windows 10 and staying on the market, this week, Microsoft quietly prolonged the Extended Security Updates program for Windows 10, allowing users to get one more year of security updates if they do not want or cannot upgrade to Windows 11. Finally, Microsoft released this month's non-security update for Windows 11. KB5095093 arrived with a traditionally long list of new features, including point-in-time restore, new Windows Update settings, quieter Windows Widgets, new accessibility features, File Explorer updates and performance improvements, and more. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Build 29617.1000 and build 28120.2374 These builds bring new accessibility features, new Windows Update controls, audio improvements, and more. Dev Channel Build 26300.8758 This build includes redesigned taskbar settings, File Explorer improvements, and more. Beta Channel Build 26220.8754 and build 28020.2366 This small update fixes the OneDrive bug in File Explorer, tweaks system sounds in dark mode, and more. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. If you use AI-powered browsing history search in Microsoft Edge, the company has bad news. A new update on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap revealed that Microsoft is discontinuing the feature. Despite using on-device models for natural search, some users found it creepy, claiming that Microsoft lacks trust in features like this. While the ability to find pages without using 100% precise words may sound cool, customers argued that it was nothing but another feature to bloat the browser with more AI. Good riddance? PowerToys received several updates this week. For one, Microsoft released version 0.100.1 with several improvements and bug fixes for the recently arrived version 0.100. A couple of days later, Microsoft dropped another update, this time fixing memory leaks in Command Palette Dock. In addition, the company is working on a new module that will make it easier to switch between windows within one application using the Alt + ` shortcut. The new module should make it to the stable release somewhere soon. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: New Ventoy update adds Windows 11's mandatory update support and more Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with chat cost tracking and multi-agent chats Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" Microsoft adds new AI study and teaching tools for free to Microsoft 365 Education Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams Microsoft's fast coding model, MAI-Code-1-Flash, comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: AMD Radeon Software 26.6.2 with FSR 4.1 support for RDNA 3 graphics card. However, the driver contained a bug, which prevented installations on Windows 10 PCs. AMD fixed that with a quick hotfix update. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week This week, Steven Parker published several reviews. He shared his experience with the Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe, a high-quality sound card with a headphone amp, low-latency communications, great build quality, and DSD256. However, it is on the pricier side of the spectrum, and it lacks EMI shielding. Check out the full review here. The second review is about the TerraMaster F4-425 Pro, an octa-core Intel NAS with a stand-out feature: built-in AI (OpenClaw). We also published a few Hands On reviews, which you can view below: We check out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on Hands-on with BOOX Tappy: cute little reading accessory Hands on with the ProtoArc EM25 affordable ergonomic mouse On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. If you plan to purchase a new Xbox, it's time to act now. This week, Microsoft announced yet another Xbox price increase. Starting August 1, 2026, all Xbox Series X|S models with 512 GB of storage will cost $100 more. As for the 1TB models, they are going up in price by a whopping $150. Finally, Microsoft is discontinuing the 2TB Xbox Series X. To make up for that, Microsoft announced a few programs to make its consoles more accessible. Those include BNPL, interest-free financing, pre-owned consoles, certified refurbished consoles, and more. Valve also shared some not-so-welcome news. The company has finally announced prices of the upcoming Steam Machine console, and if you plan to buy one, get ready to spend a whopping $1,049 on the 512GB configuration. The Steam Machine is now available for preorder, with shipments scheduled for June 29, 2026. Grand Theft Auto VI also received its official price tag. Rockstar Games announced that the long-anticipated game will launch at $79.99 for the base edition and $99.99 for the ultimate edition. The latter includes an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Those who preorder the game will get extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. NVIDIA announced new games for its GeForce NOW streaming service. Those include Dark Scrolls, SAND: Raiders of Sophie, Deer & Boy, EMPULSE, and more. Steam is running its annual Summer Sale, during which you can purchase plenty of various games with big discounts. It runs until July 9, so in case you missed it, you can still get some games at a lower price. Also, you can get two games for free in the Epic Games Store, plus more deals are available in this week's Weekend PC Game Deals issue. This link will take you to other issues of the Microsoft Weekly series. You can also support Neowin by registering for a free member account or subscribing for extra member benefits, along with an ad-free tier option.
    • Text extractor hasn't been working great on 0.99.1 but I am now updating to this version, hopefully it's better!
    • Yet you did exactly what they wanted you to do - is it better now without "Europrats"? BTW, UK had joined EU (EEC back then) and was one of the leading member states, it never joined Schengen Zone though 😉
