[Official] Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2


Recommended Posts

For everyone that thinks the game is unbalanced or unfair just play Hardcore Team Deathmatch. Any weapon will kill you, if I am out flanked I die. No kill cam etc..... That is all I play, I can not stand the kill cam or shooting someone in the back and have them turn around and kill me. It is the only way to go. Oh and always equip cold blooded, then 90% of the care packages are useless.

Although I play Search & Destroy myself, I like to know the guy I killed stays dead for the duration of the round.

Pointless game mode. It's a case of lowest ping wins. I can fire 4 bullets all should score a hit, then have them shoot me once and I'll go down?

**** that.

Funny, I was downloading all day and getting terrible pings yet I was doing pretty good - In Hardcore, most people aren't rushing around like 5 year old kids pumped with sugar, so every kill is based on who picked the right route and who out-flanked the enemy NOT host advantage and what else is present in crap-core ( See, that's my new name for it :p ).

EDIT: Do have to mention I'm talking about the 360 version here, as the controller doesn't really allow for fast snap-on action and everything seems to balance itself out - So glad I left the lame PC version and bought the 360 version, I'm finally enjoying the game!

Yeah good for you, the PC version is diffrent since you can react to people shooting at you. ;)

I dont agree, multiple times i shoot someone in the face with a well aimed burst of a weapon only for them to spray me to death?

Getting bored of this game, its not about tactics its about who can rush the fastest with grenade launcher/akimbo 1887s. Soon as people spawn they just mash the sprint key and die, sprint and die. Had a pretty crap time of it on the PC 5 "could not connect to hosts" in a row, then i manage to connect and it picks the laggiest person just to balance the game out for him only to have some tw*tfaced aimbotter ruin the game.

IWNET is the biggest abomination to PC gaming since Daikatana.

Had another pretty crazy session tonight on ground war and ended up at 55 and 10. I got lucky with a chopper gunner gone crazy!

I had some good runs last night too, akimbo rangers mad on favela, 53 kills to 18 deaths, 3 attack helicopters in a row helped alot :D

*sigh*

You're so easy to wind up it can't be helped. :p

It's hit and miss. If you get a good host they'll be dead. If you get a bad one you can unload a clip in their face then have them whip round and blow your head off. If you watch the kill cam you'll see on their system you got 2 shots out before dying!

P2P gaming! IT'S THE FUTURE! :laugh:

Irony of your sarcasm is it actually is :p

And it's not P2P ;P GET IT RIGHT SON!!1!

I do not play this like Quake Team Arena. I sneek and peek and use tactics. Each map has a method of play. Tactics will win hands down every time in this mode. All the kiddies running around with the double shotguns can not do much when I sneek behind them and blast them. They are very predictable. Lag will always be an issue no matter what and will admit I have been lagged killed many times. If I feel that is happening I find a new server, it doesn't take long to settle down in a good server with good players and have fun. (XBOX 360)

*sigh*

I actually think games like MW2 and such like actually transition quite well onto consoles. Sure its not gonna have the high sensitivity you get with a mouse, but its very VERY playable. I think I could do just as well on my PS3 version then the PC version.

And I completely agree, I'd even say the console is the optimal platform to play these game on. The reaction times and all that shabang is so completely unreal on the PC, it's not even funny - You can never have a firefight, you can never do any risky manoeuvres nor can you make a single mistake without being shot in 0.1 of a second. At least on the consoles, you have a reaction time that mimics heavily armoured human soldiers and you can't just lock on a guy 5 miles off into the distance and take his head off with a .44 Magnum shot. Again, the slight inaccuracy of the controller mimics that so much better as well.

And for the PC elitist reading, no it does not feel cumbersome or 'limited' to use a controller, it does whatever you want and with some practice you can get really good with it.

So basically, on the 360 ( Consoles, in general ) everything feels so much more alive (Y)

I was a PC elitist primarily for graphics. COD MW2 has changed that and I suspect many more will follow. COD MW2 is the same graphically on all platforms and I get to play it on my 46" HDTV with my 360. I have gradually moved to consoles over PC (Except Team Fortress 2) so much so I am considering an iMac for my next computer.

Yeah not sure about it being the same, on my PC I am running it at 1920 x 1080, I wish I could run it at that res on my 50" HDTV, it would then go from looking really damn good to outstanding. So yeah it really depends on what you mean by the same. Plus Aliasing is also higher on the computer if I recall correctly (I mean I know it usually is, just forget if MW2 lets you change it)

If you mean it more or less looks the same, sure no argument from there, but from a technical standpoint, PC still wins. With that said I have been converted years ago. I sit in front of my computer all day, and I actually get to work from home a lot, so I just do not want to also sit in front of my computer at night to game. So something very relaxing and nice about being able to play on my couch.

Yeah, the PC version has so much clearer textures overall and everything is just a wee bit sharper but that shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, it definitely isn't a game-breaker by any means but that still doesn't make up for all the other areas where the PC version falls short, very short.

You're being sarcastic right? :|

They have completely FUBAR'ed this game on PC. Anyone who thinks this game is a good direction for PC gaming is an idiot or not a PC gamer. Those who support this game on PC are just asking for a day when all the benefits of PC's are taken away and once that happens, PC gaming becomes a thing of the past. So for all of you who understood that before you bought the game but you bought it anyway.. a big FU for jeopardizing my love of PC gaming.

This is my point as well. I was once a diehard PC fanatic but the writing is on the wall. It is far more cost effective for developers to keep the game as similar as possible across all platforms. So much so that the three versions of MW2 are very near identical. Because of this, I would rather play on the big screen hanging on my couch. The advantages that the PC once had are quickly going away but this is off topic. I still love this game and for a console game it is great.

    • Ooooh! Two editorial from Paul Hill on the same day! Is it my birthday or something? 😉 Okay, let's see if I get it right. SearXNG develops a meta-search engine app. Individuals install it on their relays. Users connect to these relays to have their own identity-stripping meta-search engine instead of relying on DuckDuckGo. And some of these volunteers have listed their SearXNG instances on SearX.space. That was a lot of wrap my head around. I hope I haven't missed anything.
    • You sound like some Ukrainians in Crimea before 2014: "I didn't vote for USSR disbanding - I want Ukraine to be part of Russia again" 🤣
    • Uninstalr 3.1 by Razvan Serea Introducing Uninstalr: Easy to use and very accurate software uninstaller for Windows. It can uninstall multiple apps at the same time and we think it’s pretty cool. Developed with expertise by Macecraft Software - the minds behind jv16 PowerTools. Key Features Batch uninstall many apps at the same time. Supports unattended uninstallation of apps. Supports monitoring of new software installations. Also detects portable apps and previously uninstalled software leftovers. Shows all the data added to your system by installed software on a file by file basis. Shows all the data it will remove before starting the uninstallation. Filter and search the list of installed software. According to our benchmark, Uninstalr is the most accurate software uninstaller by leaving the least amount of leftovers when uninstalling apps. Supports detection and uninstallation of Microsoft Store, Steam, Big Fish Game System, Chocolatey, NuGet and Ninite installed software. Supports Windows Dark Mode. Supports Windows 11, 10, 8 and 7. Comes with these translations builtin: Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, Czech, Danish, English, Filipino, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian and Vietnamese. Has a single executable file portable version and a normal setup version. Uninstalr is freeware, lightweight and easy to use. No bells and whistles, no nonsense. Uninstalr’s custom uninstallation engine has a dedicated support for the detection and uninstallation of 15 types of apps: Normal Windows apps Microsoft Store apps Portable apps Chocolatey apps Ninite apps PortableApps.com apps Steam games EA App games Epic Games Store games Riot platform games GOG Galaxy games WarGaming.net games Battle.net games itch.io games Big Fish platform games Uninstalr 3.1 changelog: Key Changes Uninstalr now starts and shows the list of installed apps faster after the initial scan has been completed, and with much smaller memory usage. Uninstalr now detects and highlights apps that automatically start with Windows. Greatly improved the detection of portable apps. Improvements New feature: Uninstalr now detects and highlights apps that automatically start with Windows. New feature: Uninstalr now highlights possible leftovers and apps from Russia and China. This can be disabled from the Settings. New feature: A new filter that allows you to show only software that is installed to other than the system drive. New feature: Users can now select to always do the deepest and the most accurate scan for installed apps, at the cost of the analysis taking a longer time. Greatly improved the detection of portable apps, such as added dedicated support for MiTeC, EZ Tools and SysInternals tools. Improved support for portable apps installed via Windows System Control Center (WSCC). NirSoft portable apps are now listed with "NirSoft" prefix for easier identification. Improved the speed of uninstalling apps. The main installed software listing search will now find "Xbox GameBar" if you search for "Game bar" and vice versa. The tooltip now displays more detailed information of the installed apps, such as its registry key and uninstaller path. The links in the About section now look more like clickable links. The main menu is now more clearly indicated in the main user interface. Microsoft Teams Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office ships with some Windows 11 installations and is now considered a builtin Windows app and only listed if builtin Windows apps filter is enabled. Added a Help button to the main user interface that opens the help section of the website. Added an option not to close Uninstalr after uninstallation. If you open the Uninstalr website from the app, the website now receives the version number of your current Uninstalr version and warns you if you are using anything but the latest version. Improved the accuracy of the New Software Monitor. Improved confirmation messages for Steam and other platform related uninstalls. Improved the uninstallation performance of Steam games. Fixes: Known bug fixed: Some installed app names are capitalized incorrectly, such as "CCleaner Portable" is listed as "ccleaner portable". Known bug fixed: Some apps can be listed twice, for example, Smart Defrag can be listed once as Smart Defrag and then Smart Defrag Home. Known bug fixed: On the pre-uninstallation screen, the Scripts checkbox can be checked by default on Dark Mode but not on the normal mode. Known bug fixed: Perform Deep Analysis can be started only by clicking the button, not via the Right Click menu, main menu or F4 keyboard shortcut. Muse Hub could be incorrectly listed as Adobe Muse. SyncTrayzor was incorrectly detected as two unrelated software, SyncTrayzor and Syncthing. Smart Defrag was incorrectly listed twice as Smart Defrag 11 and Smart Defrag Home. It was possible to enter non-printable characters to the search input boxes of the main screen, and the path listing screen, which caused the UI to look funny. Changing the translation from Settings, especially many times in a row, caused the UI to distort. If you had multiple instances of portable apps on your system, such as the 64b and 32b versions of the same portable app, typically only one of them was detected, not both. In some very rare cases, Uninstalr UI could start with random characters in its search input boxes, which could make the UI look rather confusing. This was a rare issue, only reported by two users. The pre-uninstallation screen could display non-existing paths for example as the software's installation directory or main exe file. This was a cosmetic issue. New Software Monitor cannot detect the installation of Claude. Selecting all the found software made the UI look funny with the top panel covering everything else (because the names of all the selected software were listed there). Sometimes a Steam game could be listed a normal app instead of a Steam game. If the system restart after an uninstallation is delayed, e.g. because of Windows Updates being installed, this additional delay is incorrectly added to the time how long the uninstallation process took. This cosmetic bug could cause the program incorrectly report an uninstallation time longer than the actual uninstallation time. Uninstalling Minecraft could simply fail. The Only scan the system drive for installed apps setting does not fully work. If some apps are installed to a non system drive and this setting is enabled, the app could still be detected and listed on the main user interface. Changing any settings could also incorrectly alter the Only Scan The System Drive For Installed Apps setting. Microsoft OneDrive and Copilot are not always detected. If you enter something to the search filter field, then select the text and press the Delete key, this triggers the Uninstall button click even if your intent was to delete the text input. If you press the F5 key to refresh the screen during the uninstallation loading screen, the program will crash. If you enabled some setting, such as "Do not analyze installed app installation sizes", it could automatically be unchecked later. Uninstalr doesn't warn you if you try to remove Fortec antivirus. There should be a warning if user attempts to remove any antivirus or antimalware type program. Such programs should not be uninstalled using a third party uninstaller, as they are typically protected against automated uninstallation, for security reasons. With "Do not analyze installed app installation sizes" option checked from the Settings, Uninstalr could still display some installation size related elements in the UI which was confusing. The "Only scan the system drive" option moved under Improve Scan Speed from the General settings. If two software have the exact same name and version number, selecting both of them for uninstallation fails because only one is actually selected. Sorting the installed apps by size sometimes fails and the order is incorrect. The "Don't show which paths are currently analyzed" did not work correctly - some parts of the UI still show the currently analyzed path with this setting checked. The "Don't list software less than 10 MB" filter did not work correctly - some apps smaller than 10 MB could still be listed. Uninstalr could start very quickly and display an empty list of detected apps. Restarting the app usually fixed the issue and the list of installed apps was properly displayed. If you placed portable Uninstalr to a same folder with other portable apps, those were not detected because Uninstalr automatically added its installation folder to the ignore list. When trying to uninstall some specific software, Uninstalr could get stuck on the Searching for more data relating to the app phase. Uninstalr could sometimes do a silent uninstallation even if user had unchecked the Perform a silent uninstallation option. Known issues: Uninstalr can fail to run with an Out Of Memory error in systems that have a lot of installed apps. Using the New Software Monitor tool multiple times during one session can cause the program to get stuck on the Scanning stage. The "uninstallation completed" message box sometimes closes when the user moves the mouse cursor over the button before user clicks it. There is no feedback for the user after Fix Information feature has been used. The Right Click menu's Select by publisher option can display the number of apps per each publisher without correct vertical alignment. The default user interface might not display all of the found installed apps if you have over 600 installed apps. If you do, using the Screen Reader Compatible Interface solves the issue. Leftover apptype filter checkbox is shown in red font only in Dark Mode. Clicking the app's icon from the Windows Taskbar doesn't minimize/restore the app like other apps. The warning about an app that user wishes to uninstall being related to some other app user did not select can sometimes be inaccurate. If app's language is changed without restarting Uninstalr, the list of installed software might not automatically refresh. When software is being uninstalled, the UI can say it is processing paths unrelating to the uninstalled app. This is purely cosmetic and does not mean these paths are removed. Uninstalr might not properly detect and/or uninstall Steam games if they are installed to a drive different than Steam's default location in C:\. You might see "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed" error message from Windows Installer during uninstallation. This is a cosmetic issue.

    • I and many others did not vote to get out of the E.u because of Putin or Farage, we did so for our own reasons. You don't have to tel me what my own did or did not do when it comes to the E.U. The EEC is or was the European Economic Community, a different beast to what the E.U is now.The EEC was a mainly about trading, the E.U have gone far beyond that and as I have said before, is now more of a United States of Europe. The U.K did not vote to join a United States of Europe. Anyway, they did not want us in there in the first place, Charles de Gaulle stopped us joining as he claimed we didn’t agree with the core ideas of integration. He was not wrong and that is why we voted out of the E.U when the time came. I was not old enough to vote the first time. My only regret is that we did not have the referendum years ago and got out years ago. If we rejoined, we would have to agree to join the Euro and no doubt Schengen, agree with freedom of movement, we have enough problem with people coming over here as it is. i have no problem with people coming over here if they work and don't try to push their way of life onto us. The E.U has a currency, freedom of movement, an anthem a flag, a parliament, well they are there, not sure if they do anything. Don't sound like something that is just for trading. Oh yeah, also wanted a euro Army. How many stupid rules have the E.U made that we had to follow? I doubt I will see the Uk rejoin the E.U, which suits me. Oh yeah, my partner is Polish, she came over here before Poland joined the E.U and she got fed up of people just coming over here with ease, while she had to struggle. She is now a British citizen and have been for a fair few years
    • Hello, Paul. Thanks for the editorial. It was interesting. I'm going research more into the app and its concept. Of course, if you know me at all, you know that I'd say your articles needs some editing! I always do, don't I? For instance, the article occasionally mentions relays before defining it.
