[Official] Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2


Recommended Posts

Just played again for the first time in about 4 days. I've gone back to basics, and changed my playing style. Using M4A1 + Red Dot, Stopping Power Pro, Scavenger Pro, Steady Aim. Gonna replace my M9 + Tactical Knife with a rocket launcher of some sort though.

I still really dislike how you basically shoot bullets from your eyeballs. It's complete BS that you can poke an inch of your head over a camping spot and pick everybody off.

Overall, I like the COD4 maps better since these are too camper friendly. But when a legit match comes along, the game is extremely fun and addicting. Lots to do/unlock. :)

What are you guys' NAT's like Spookie? One of my friends who had just a moderate NAT was killing his ability to get into games.

Had a mate update his ports, restart steam, all sorts of dicking about. Hopefully it'll work tomorrow I can't be arsed with all that again. :(

He's on the same ISP as me so I'm hoping it's just his router ports anyway. :|

I can't agree with that, yes all of the maps you can camp in but almost every spot (hi terminal) a well thrown nade will kill you or you're left open to be flanked. We had a match on Skidrow where the scores in the end were going through the roof due to the amount of grenades getting hoofed about. It was like an explosion in a Pi?ata factory. You couldn't see for a FB or Stun going through a window followed by a semtex or cooked frag!:DD

People just need to evolve to use their inventory to their full advantage and the games will pick up the pace.:))

Turn on DMZ

I think the amount of Camping is getting worse,

Was playing last night and actually did really well for a change, had Bing, Cold Blood and Ninja (+silent footsteps) with Sniper Rifel (silenced/heartbeat monitor) and .44 (tack knife/FMJ),

Basically i ran around stabbing and shooting all the campers :)

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?

Because they get a good laugh out of the "Achievement Kiddies" who strive to unlock it then are to blind to realize they have been nerfed.

Right... :rolleyes:

My question applies to the F2000 as well. Why have that and the AK47 be the last two guns you unlock when they are just that horrible? When the Scar is so could, they definitely should have moved that to a higher level unlock and moved the AK/F2000 down.

I think it promotes Prestige. In COD4 when you Prestige you lost allot more than you gained. Now, with many good weapons up front, more Prestige achievements (meaning more points) I have more of a reason to do it. This of course is just IMHO.

Does this game have some sort of aim assist on the PC?

Normally I cant shoot for crap with pistols but i was trying to get tactical knife for the m9 and it felt like when i was shooting it was centering the crosshairs on the enemy rocking headshots every other kill.

Wait, you don't lose unlocked weapons when you enter prestige mode? I was under the impression that you did, until the other day some shotgun-###### went prestige, me and my friend said to each other "Oh phew, at least he won't have access to that shotgun anymore" and next round he shot my friend with it :laugh: No akimbo though ( Guessing only challenges reset? )

On another note, I just ordered the Moderen Warfare 2 Controller, in Black - Never though I'd see the day where I would order anything made by Mad Catz but I really want to try it plus it looks sweet - I'm a sucker for camo :p

Not that I know of, I definitely didn't feel anything back when I played the PC version.

You dont automatically prestige, you have to select it back at the main menu and you lose all unlocks apart from titles and emblems.

Yes, I know, I did play MW1 and went prestige quite a few times thank you :p Back then you lost EVERYTHING but I still haven't seen a single word mentioned about the fact you keep weapons or what else you get by going prestige.

Nope, I think you're just leading shots uncontentiously. :)

IW you ****ty 2nd rate developer.

Just had a game hosted by a cheat. Now you'd think: "Oh get aimbotted a lot?" Aye I did. But that's not it. Using the official matchmaking system I joined a game with infinite ammo and low grav.

I wish I was joking.

Aside from all the hate that I feel for this game because of most of the issues discussed here I still find time to play it overlooking all these flaws because hey a lot of friends play it and they themselves make it a whole bunch of fun but when that gets taken away from you because of gargantuan lag and server/host failures every other 10 mins this game becomes utterly useless. I tried consistently for 2 straight hours to get a good game and thats all I got. 1 good round out of 2 hours of play. This is now beyond pathetic and I regret paying for this game because it ultimately fails in multiplayer. /rant

    • Windows 11 is getting redesigned taskbar settings in new build by Taras Buria Microsoft is rolling out new Windows 11 preview builds in the Insider program, offering users new features and changes to try ahead of public release. In the Experimental channel (formerly Dev), Microsoft is shipping build 26300.8758, while in the Beta channel, users can download build 26220.8754. The changelogs do not contain much, but there is an important update to taskbar settings. Here is what is new in build 26220.8754: [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. 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. And here is what is new in build 26220.8754: [Smart card removal policy] Administrators can now configure Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) and Windows 365 sessions that use Microsoft Entra ID (RDS AAD Auth) authentication to automatically disconnect when a redirected smart card is removed. This extends smart card removal policy enforcement to Microsoft Entra authenticated remote sessions, helping organizations meet security and compliance requirements. [File Explorer] Fixed an issue where the OneDrive shortcut in File Explorer stops working when File Explorer is run in administrator mode. [Taskbar] Improved reliability of loading the system tray area of the taskbar. [Sounds] Improved system sounds when using Windows in dark mode. You can find release notes for build 26300.8758 here and for build 26220.8754 here.
