[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

    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
    • I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
    • Full ACK. I went too far adressing your post specifically. And as you said, it up to us customers as participant of the market dynamic as it happens to decide whether we spend our money on a product or not. The responsibility is to the company. In case of this price hike one could assume that MS is expecting or even starting to see a new interest in XBox hardware so they want to avoid losses per unit sold. I find it fair enough that they granted a period in which everyone interested could grab a unit for the current price (Amazon.de has a reliable stock of XBox Series X digital, which I bought last December after having sold my day one Series X a year ago). It is not that they cash up their customers starting on Monday. Cheers and let's cling to our perfectly fine hardware as long as we deem it worthy in relation to purchasing something new!
    • Not surprising at all. Apple got three months worth of marketing hype with the Macbook Neo's incredible low launch price. They have sowed the idea that the Neo is the best value laptop and that idea will last for years even though the value is no longer there. They do this every five years or so with a single new product that is amazing value which distracts from the rest of their products being horrendously overpriced.
