PC may have ###### hosts and worse pings but at least we have even teams :laugh:

The issue is also on the PC version, I've hit so many unfair teams it's crazy. All the versions are carbon copy versions of each other, there's no "issues" in one version that isn't in the other, except the issues brought on by the platform itself.

Been playing all night and had... 0 unbalanced teams, a few WTF NOOB rage quits but they were soon replaced. :s

Then you have just been lucky, it doesn't happen all the time nor does it on the console versions but it DOES happen.

And yes, that sub base is utter trash - Such a boring map ... 90% of the maps in MW2 are rubbish, can't believe they are so bad, it's like they hired a team of retarded apes to design them.

I love most of em I like the idea there is many ways to flank people. Most maps in games these days consist of a few corridors all built on two levels since console owners can't look up (Valves words not mine! :p)

It's nice to see high buildings with multiple vantage points and tonnes of cover to run behind. Though I have to admit I'm not a fan of sub base unless it's CTF, Highrise is fun on dom but I ****ING HATE that shanty town level set at dusk where you can hide in the long grass or camp in buildings all day. Estate is a great map on the other hand it's ace when you get a team who thinks they are safe inside the house. ;)

Apparently you reached level 65 first Prestige?

I think it all goes to show how much the game has changed. 42 and 1 isn't that big of a deal coming from COD4 because of how easy that would have been. I haven't got anything remotely close to that so far with MW2, so it is really a testament to how well they balanced the game.

Let me get this straight, you find MW2 more balanced than MW1 :blink:

Yep, plain and simple. Anybody can now get a care package drop after 4 kills (or 3 with hardline!) which can drop anything to help turn the tide of a match. Instead of getting bombarded the entire match by multiple air strikes or helis when you can do nothing about it on maps like Ambush, Bog, Countdown, Shipment, and Wetworks, you actually have a chance with MW2.

Just had to share this from a game I was in the other day. Groundwar Domination on Wasteland... I don't know what went wrong. :blink:

I can't remember exactly how he got that high, but he seemed to have a some luck with AC130s and Chopper Gunners. Really good emergency air drop maybe. That or we just really sucked.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By excalpius · Posted

      Ignoring the fact that this "colony" kicked the empire of King George's arse during those early years... You are confusing the First Industrial Revolution (which was clearly pulled out of some butt-hurt Brit historian's arse after the fact) with the Second Industrial Revolution (aka now called the Technological Revolution, undoubtedly by that same butt-hurt Brit), which transitioned the world from the UK/UPS Empire to the USA as the world's only superpower. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_Revolution I hope you realize that I am having big fun here.
    • OpenAI announces GPT‑5.6 Sol, its next-generation flagship model beating Claude Mythos 5

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI announces GPT‑5.6 Sol, its next-generation flagship model beating Claude Mythos 5 by Pradeep Viswanathan Credit: OpenAI OpenAI today announced a limited preview of its new GPT-5.6 model series, which includes the Sol, Terra, and Luna models targeting different price points. GPT-5.6 Sol is the flagship model targeted at demanding reasoning and agentic workloads. GPT-5.6 Terra is positioned as a balanced model for everyday work, featuring performance competitive with GPT-5.5 while being half the cost. GPT-5.6 Luna is the fastest and most affordable model, delivering strong capability at a lower price point. Unlike previous model releases from OpenAI, GPT-5.6 is starting with a limited preview for a small group of trusted partners due to U.S. government restrictions. As expected, OpenAI previewed its plans and the models' capabilities to the U.S. government ahead of launch, and the government asked OpenAI to limit the first wave of access to select partners. OpenAI also mentioned in the official announcement blog post that it does not believe this type of government access process should become the long-term default. OpenAI highlighted that GPT-5.6 Sol comes with a robust safety stack featuring improved protections for higher-risk activity, sensitive cyber requests, and repeated misuse. The company also spent several weeks pressure-testing the system and hardening it against real-world attacks. On the capability side, as expected, GPT-5.6 Sol is OpenAI’s strongest model yet. It delivers better results in agentic performance across coding, biology, and cybersecurity. On the Terminal-Bench 2.1 benchmark, which tests command-line workflows requiring planning, iteration, and tool coordination, GPT-5.6 Sol sets a new record with a score of 91.9%, beating Anthropic's Claude Mythos 5. Additionally, GPT-5.6 introduces a new "max" reasoning effort for even deeper reasoning. The new "ultra" mode uses subagents to accelerate complex work beyond what a single agent can handle. Pricing starts at $5 per million input tokens and $30 per million output tokens for Sol. Terra costs $2.50 for input and $15 for output, while Luna costs $1 for input and $6 for output. GPT-5.6 comes with more predictable prompt caching, including support for explicit cache breakpoints and a 30-minute minimum cache life. Sol will also launch on Cerebras in July at speeds up to 750 tokens per second for select customers. OpenAI plans to make GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna broadly available in ChatGPT, Codex, and the API in the coming weeks.

      I'm not sure if you are trolling because I saw people saying this with the straight face, but there were no United States of America when industrial revolution started, just United Colonies 🤣 p.s. I'm not British, so I'm not offended.

      Glad I uninstalled this incredibly buggy browser. Looking at that changelog, they clearly don't test their updates at all.
