[Official] Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2


Recommended Posts

Finally got to level 70 and got to try out the AK. While deadly when you actually hit them because it does so much damage, the recoil is horrendous. They have definitely increased the recoil quite a bit from COD4. I ended up going through prestige because with the AK so nerfed, there is really no reason to stay at level 70.

Really? From what I've seen it's pretty much the weakest SMG.

High RoF, very accurate and can empty a clip in under 5 seconds! I'm taking it more often than my ACR now! :(

Edit: The only weapons I use to come top of TDM and 1v1's is the Vector and the ACR. Both lol accurate. :)

Isn't teamwork awesome!

Edit: Admittedly we did try to shoot explosive barrels through cover then got rather annoyed when it wouldn't work. I guess I should have spent more time reading than shooting ;D

Edit 2: Just got 30-8 on FFA using the Vector. Safe to say it's rather a good weapon in the right hands. :D

My personal best in MW2 for PC and no hacks of any kind as I despise the fact they exist killing all the fun. Interestingly enough people didn't accuse me of cheating either. It was a great game. Predator Missile + Harrier + Pave Low.. along with Hardline perk = WIN :) Forget about Nuke... this is where the fun is! :)

Yep. In my opinion, its not worth it.

Well depends.. each prestige run gives you an additional slot for loadouts.. so I prestiged to get the 5th slot so I can add another loadout when I play so I can switch to quickly. For some people this is not worth it but you can expand up to 3 extra slots and then you have a wider variety of combos for your play.

Had to go to YouTube and look up the Javelin glitch. Wow, that really is stupid and hope they patch it ASAP on the 360, but I have luckily never encountered it.

So we did play a bit before, I had the worse consecutive rounds I think I probably ever had. Just did outright awful. Meh is all I can say at this point. That and I cannot wait for Bad Company 2.

I hate MW2 players who use akimbo shotguns or 1887s, no skill involved just run round the corner and unload in the enemies general direction, if they have an assault rifle theres jack **** they can do about it, really ****es me off.

:yes:

Right there with you.

MW2 just misses out on a whole different fight when you don't have vehicles. BF FTW

There's many aspects to this game that completely removes the skill aspect and those shotguns are certainly one of them. Oddly enough, I rarely ever get killed by 'em but my team-mates usually does and watching it in kill-cam does make you want to facepalm hard. Honestly though, my biggest 'weapon' gripe is the Riot Shield - That thing is so overpowered it's not even funny, especially when you encounter a person who knows how to use it and you ran out of grenades. A see-through piece of plastic that can take an infinite amount of bullets, cover the entire body when crouching and you can shield-bash causing one-hit kills? G.T.F.O

They should really add a hit limit and then let the shield break or turn it into a massive titanium motherf ... with a tiny window you can see through, limiting your view immensely - At least that would make it a bit more fair. Luckily it's rarely used in the matches I join but when someone finally uses the thing, it can just ruin your day :laugh: I swear, every time someone uses that shield and they kill someone, the person who dies is usually very vocal about the overpowered nature of the shield :p

It takes 2 hits and as you take more damage your view gets more and more obstructed to the point where you can't see. :)

Let's just add this again, as it was removed; you know I play Hardcore and in Hardcore mode, it only takes one hit plus a slightly obstructed view doesn't kill you - Still lets you run towards your opponent and just give them a quick bash. In hardcore mode on the 360, where you can't just just do a 720 spin in a second and hit a guy in the face 5 miles away with a pistol ( PC version (N) ), it's hard to gain the advantage 1 v 1 versus a shield because when you finally see an exposed area it's not for long and then it shifts to other parts of the body, making it impossible at times to do anything other than running away or hoping a teammate comes to your aid.

Still, glad they are so far and few in between plus my class and playstyle usually means they walk right past me, letting me knife them or shoot 'em in the back.

Its not nerfed. Try firing a real AK, they kick like crap and are the most inaccurate gun I have fired. COD MW2 finally made it what it is, crap. The only reason it is all over the world is because it is cheap to make.

I seriously hope they nerf the riot shield soon, to stop this boosting and make it less annoying. Either make it so FMJ can penetrate it or make it so after so many shots it either breaks or chunks of it break off

To use the RS you have already sacrificed mobility and any kind of long range weapon, taking away any further incentive (damage sponge) to use it would render it useless and never used.

I'm well versed in the history, but thanks anyways. If they were going to give it that much recoil, why not have it as a starter weapon then?

Apparently they improved the matchmaking today. Lost 40 mins struggling to get 4 of us in to a game with endless could not connect to hosts and drops. Then to top it off:

ARGH!

I heard it's due for release on the PS3 soon too. ;D

    • Microsoft further improving Windows 11 Taskbar with latest builds by Sayan Sen Microsoft has released new Windows 11 builds for users flighting the Experimental channels. The new builds are 26300.8758 for Windows 11 26H2, 28120.2374 for 26H1, and 29617.1000 for future platforms. There are improvements related to the Taskbar, File Explorer and more with the new update. The full changelogs are given below: First we have the build 26300.8758: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out [Taskbar] Taskbar customization just got easier. As we continue to make improvements to the Taskbar experience mentioned last month, we've introduced a dedicated Taskbar Size setting, making it simpler to find, understand, and personalize your ideal taskbar experience. UI showing the new Taskbar Size setting in Settings. We've also made refinements to the transitions between taskbar sizes for a smoother overall experience. [File Explorer] We've improved the reliability of thumbnail previews for cloud files in the Details pane. The pane has also been reorganized so file properties are easier to find and review at a glance. Fixed an issue where the OneDrive shortcut in File Explorer stops working when File Explorer is run in administrative mode. Fixed an issue where the confirmation dialog might display an internal Recycle Bin file name instead of the original file name when permanently deleting a file. [Sounds] Improved system sounds when using Windows in dark mode. Up next we have build 28120.2374: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out This update includes a small set of general improvements and fixes [Mobile Device Settings] You can add and manage your mobile devices in Settings under Bluetooth & Devices > Mobile Devices. On this page, you can manage features such as using your device as a connected camera or accessing your device's files in File Explorer. [Remote Recovery Management] Added a recovery remote management plug-in to extend WinRE management capabilities for MDM providers. [Input] The emoji panel (Windows key + period (.)) now uses GIPHY as the GIF provider, delivering a smoother GIF browsing and sharing experience following the deprecation of the Tenor API. Finally we have the changelog for Windows 11 build 29617.1000: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out [Windows Update] As announced in the Windows Update announce blog, we are now bringing a new unified update experience to reduce the number of reboots you see per month. We are starting by coordinating driver, .NET, and firmware updates to align with the monthly quality update, reducing the update experience to a single monthly restart. See the blog for more information. [Windows Magnifier] Magnifier now gives you more control over how you zoom. You can type an exact zoom percentage directly in the magnifier toolbar to land on precisely the level you need. We've also added preset step increments (5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 100%, 150%, 200%, and 400%) to the Settings dropdown, so you can jump to common levels in a single click. Whether you need a subtle boost or a dramatic close-up, Magnifier adapts to how you want to zoom. Enter an exact percentage or jump to preset steps —5% up to 400%. Feedback: Share your thoughts in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Accessibility > Magnifier. [Accessibility] We're introducing screen tint, a new accessibility setting that applies a color overlay across your entire display, softening its intensity so it's easier on your eyes throughout the day. If bright, saturated screens leave you with tired or sensitive eyes by the end of a long session, screen tint can help. Screenshot showing UI for screen tint in Accessibility, with color presets and a strength slider. To get started, open Settings > Accessibility (or press WIN + U) and look for screen tint under the Vision section. From there, you can: Pick from six preset colors or choose a custom color of your own. Adjust the tint strength slider from a subtle wash to full intensity. Night light warms your display to reduce blue light that can interfere with sleep. Screen tint reduces overall screen intensity to ease eye fatigue and light sensitivity during the day. They tackle different problems and you can use both at the same time, one working on warmth and the other on intensity. Note that turning on screen tint will disable color filters, and vice versa. If you currently rely on color filters, you might need to keep screen tint turned off. Feedback: Share your thoughts in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Accessibility > Narrator. [Voice Access] Voice Access now supports Portuguese (Portugal), Portuguese (Brazil), and Korean (South Korea). [Audio] Continuing our work on improving Sound Settings, we've made a few more updates in this build: We've adjusted the description text for the Allow option in properties for audio devices to include the current state of the device, to improve the clarity of the text and the purpose of the button actions. "Listen to this device" is now available in properties for audio devices, so you don't need to enter Control Panel for this functionality. [Multiple Desktops] Improved explorer reliability when switching between multiple desktops. [Storage] We've updated the dialog when creating a Dev Drive to now support specifying the size in GB instead of only MB. This has also been added when changing the size of volumes under Settings > System > Storage. [Personalization] This update improves color selection accuracy when adjusting your accent color to match your wallpaper when automatic accent color selection is enabled in Personalization settings. This update improves wallpaper persistence reliability across restarts and upgrades, including better support for large-resolution wallpapers and other scenarios to prevent solid color wallpaper fallback. [Display and Graphics] Improves the reliability and persistence of applying color profiles. You can view the official blog posts here (link1, link2, link3) on Microsoft's site.
