[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:

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.

    • Simple answer is yes, you will still get the Windows updates and as long as browser is up to date, you will be good. Only thing secure boot does is protect you against boot level threats and make it harder to install other OS's. I've been looking into this pretty thoroughly lately myself as wifes computer has secure boot disabled plus my other, older computers that run Linux, don't have secure boot enabled. Have seen all kinds of questions about this on the Linux Mint and MX Linux forums. Just don't suddenly enable secure boot now.

    • AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
