[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

    • SpaceX reportedly plans a Starlink mobile service for U.S. consumers by Karthik Mudaliar SpaceX reportedly wants to sell mobile phone plans directly to consumers in the United States as part of a wider expansion of Starlink. According to a report from the Financial Times, SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell discussed the plan with investors during the company’s recent IPO roadshow. The company is also said to be considering building a terrestrial mobile network to complement Starlink’s satellite coverage. The plan is quite different from how Starlink currently operates in the U.S. mobile market. SpaceX already provides satellite connectivity for T-Mobile’s T-Satellite service, but T-Mobile remains responsible for the subscription, billing, and customer support. A Starlink-branded mobile service would give SpaceX control of the customer relationship instead. It could also turn the company from a partner of traditional mobile operators into a direct competitor. T-Mobile also began testing its Starlink-powered satellite service in early 2025. The beta was initially limited to text messaging and was also available to some AT&T and Verizon customers. The service has since expanded to support limited data access through selected apps, including WhatsApp, Google Maps, AccuWeather, and AllTrails. It is designed to provide a connection in areas where normal cell towers are unavailable, rather than replace a conventional mobile network. However, if SpaceX actually has a plan to serve nationwide, it needs to do more than just satellite networks and actually support on-ground operations. It can also partner up with existing carriers and become a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO). With that said, SpaceX has already spent heavily to support its mobile ambitions. Just last year, the company agreed to acquire wireless spectrum licences from EchoStar in deals worth a combined $19.6 billion. EchoStar's spectrum includes AWS-4, H-Block, and AWS-3 frequencies that could be used for both satellite and terrestrial communications. According to a SpaceX securities filing, the Federal Communications Commission approved the transaction in May 2026, although it is not expected to close until late 2027. There's no official statement by SpaceX for now. Pricing, availability, and other details remain unknown. Source: Financial Times

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
