[Official] Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2


Recommended Posts

It's not that big of an advantage really, yes it gets the glitcher some kills but 5/10 he dies before he gets close to anyone and I'm playing Hardcore, so they usually take out a teammate as well, annoying them in the process. It was definitely much worse when I was forced to play in regular ( below Rank 19 ).

I messaged one of the glitchers, just said "glitchfag" and he replied to me 10 minutes later "ur 21 get a life" ... The hell does my age has to do with him glitching :laugh: ?

Am starting to enjoy the game, finally - Home on the cheat-free console and past the regular-tard modes, back in Hardcore where I belong :cool: Having a blast. I also just had a hilarious game, before the game started I just blurted out "You puff!" a few guys laughed and for 4 S&D rounds, everyone constantly used it with some variation "Ohhh you ****ing puff", "I got puffed", "OH MY PUFF", "You puff" when someone got shot, died, planted, disarmed etc.

Akimbo options shouldnt be allowed in this game at all

Might as well get teletubbies for characters and friggin lasers for weapons since we're moving towards this unrealistic environment :s

But obviously IW made it an option for pretty much everything to lure in the tacticool kids - they succeeded

Don't be silly. The game isn't supposed to be realistic. Anyway akimbo isn't that great with most guns. I rarely see anyone using it. Though the duel shotguns can be pretty cheap...

Generally Akimbo isn't very practical in the game.

I agree the akimbo shotguns are stupid. They're so damn overpowered it's ridiculous. I shouldn't be able to die from a shotgun blast when I'm like 30ft away from the guy/girl using it.

I knew it wasnt realistic when you have to unlock the red dot and eotech for every gun despite it having a 1" standard milspec mount which should fit on most guns in the game, got bored of having to unlock everything for each gun.

What do people recommend for weapons? I've heard, and never use, sub-machine guns. It's usually an assault rifle on multiplayer play.

The knife.

Just run around the map knifing people. It gets a one shot kill and other players hate it.

lol just tried the launcher and semtex glitch, have to say highly amusing to run upto sum1 and explode when they kill you, though its seems many know the trick as run upto a few ppl and they try and run away, dont even try and shoot or knife you. I can see it becoming very annoying and i will probs be fixed fairly soon, but could be quite a good defence against the ppl who run around knifing everyone (like i do on certain maps)

Yep SMG's have been nerfed on basically all but one map (Skidrow). Because of the larger maps that IW made, SMG's are just not conducive to the game play anymore. I find it highly disappointing because I quite liked the smaller maps with more frenetic action.

For my knifing class i have the Vector due to it accuracy and the M9 with tactical knife so stab quicker, thus good chance in winning a knife stand off.

Wonder if they'll do anything about the map glitches, i myself have just found out how to get on top of one of the office buildings in highrise, which is the perfect sniping spot, after watchin a few youtube vids about the glitches

So, basically, you're admitting to cheating in a game?

Sounds like alot of people have a knifing class now. I've got and I named it "Mr Stabby" :laugh:

I've pretty much stopped playing this game though, but if I do boot it up for lols, I just use my Mr Stabby class for quick satisfaction.

Marathon

Lightweight

Commando

FTW.

Hmm after readin bowlings twitter page "First title update will be a big one. We've been taking notes since release and working. I'll post details before it ships"

it seems a large update is gettin pushed out soon, so think we can say bye to the various map and weapon glitches, though i wonder which weapons they will nerf, im guessin shotguns. Oh and the PC version should get the javelin fix very soon once testing is done, before the consoles as doesnt need approval from steam

I for one hope they add the option of choosing a map to play, as today i played the same 3 maps over and over again, got very annoying lol

So, basically, you're admitting to cheating in a game?

tbh i wouldnt call it cheating. To get on the roof is quite difficult and i died multiple times. And most of the places are quite open (esp to harriers etc), so yeah some might be great sniper spots but after 2-3 shots sum1 should notice (esp if they watch killcam) and can take them out easily. And they've been used so many times they're one of the first things i look at. I personally dont mind some of the map glitches, just another part of the map to me, just like another hiding spot

I'm sure the 1887 shotguns will have to be nerfed in some way. They can leave the damage where its at, but they really need to decrease the range.

I think you'll find that's classified as cheating.

I'm debating with myself whether those areas you're actually meant to be able to reach though. A lot of the places that seem like areas you 'glitch' to get to, usually contain the teddy bears that the CoD games have become synonymous with. The roof on highrise, the ledge bit inside opposite building on the same map (above the desk type bit at the back, you use a ladder to get up to it too. The A capture point if you play Domination.) They're all littered with the teddy bears, perhaps IW designed the maps in such a way that you were expected to get there eventually?

I guess we'll see when the first patch comes out.

I used to think this, but the SMG's really grew on me after a few games. The Vector can really be very efficient on alot of maps, especially with a red dot sight and rapid fire. Although the maps are quite large they are fairly tight.

    • Screamer is 50% off on Steam, making it £24.99 here in the UK: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2814990/Screamer/ You might remember the series from the mid 90s / early 2000s, this new game is also by Milestone who created the older games.
    • 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.
