[Official] Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Then what you do is decrease the range... lol.

Range was already decreased with the patch that was put out week of Christmas. Too many people complained about Akimbo 1887s. It was impossible to take over anyone that had those in their class alongside marathon and lightweight. It was just trouble waiting to happen.

I only brought that up teasingly since you wanted to make it more realistic ((in)accuracy / weight). It sounds great in theory but in game it's the worst idea ever.

It does sound great in theory, IF IW does implment this.. people are going to complain and say how crappy the gun is. Good for others, it's just not for them. Again, you can please everyone.

Woo hoo! I'm back at school now which means I'm not on a slow connection anymore. Anybody up for some Domination?

damn dude.. you just missed me. add me on xbl and if you're on tommorow I'm game.

Tried playing on the 360 today.

1st game had 3 host changes. Team got beat by triple.

2nd game had 2 host changes.

3rd game had horrible lag and no host changes. Plus I got killed in respond killed by a chopper gunner 5 times in a row.

I quit after that.

The kill streaks are cool but now they are just getting in the way of the game. They should not be so frequent IMO. It promotes camping. It should of sent something like every 100 kills you get a harrier. Every 500 kills a ac130 etc etc.

HUH?! :blink:

Its just a example. People camp to get streaks which is obvious. Even on objective maps.

You don't have to "camp" to get high killstreaks. It's called tactics. I've gotten high killstreaks without having to "camp" (which by general gaming definition is sitting crouched/laying somewhere and waiting for people to come by.) You just a.) need to play with non-idiots (aka randoms), b.) be smart and don't die.

And if I'm hanging back it's by no means camping. It just means I'm not going to rush out in the open when I've got a killstreak open. If I don't need to die, I'm not going to die. Play smart, not stupid.

There is nothing wrong with the kill streaks nor is it "getting in the way of the game." My advice to you would be to press the back button more often to look at the scoreboard and try to kill those getting close to kill streaks and pay attention more often.

That said, you should definitely equip either the AT4-HS or Stinger as your secondary weapon to take down chopper gunners, helicopters, AC-130's and so forth. You can take down a chopper gunner in two shots, period with the Stinger (one for the flare, two for the take down). Now with the AT4-HS this will vary, sometimes can take it down in one shot depending where from. I wouldn't suggest the Javelin as it takes too long to lock on, need to be in clear area to shoot it off, probably will get shot before you shoot it and so forth.

Then also try to play with friends or make friends with those that are "good" and play with them. It is more fun and easier playing with someone you know or that is good then alone. I play in full party's all the time of 6-9 people.

Its just a example. People camp to get streaks which is obvious. Even on objective maps.

People don't need to camp to get killstreaks, myself and others I play with you will find do not camp 85% of the time. Those rare occasions will most likely not be considered camping and/or "turtling". Too many people over use the word "camping" today too and don't understand the difference between that and not.

That is horrible! Even on my terrible connection at home I never had anything that bad. Thankfully now I'm back on campus and get to have a full bar connection all the time now! :D

So..played with a hacker that went 111-1 in CTF today. Funny thing is, he got the 1 death from being surrounded by his own team-mates, all of which including the hacker got hit by a predator missile :laugh:

Got some great rounds in yesterday, got some pics. Now I have the disc in my drive and can't get it out. 2 red lights. Grr.

With the 41 kill streak, I got my killstreaks (Care Package, Harrier, AC130). Used the AC130, used the Harrier, used the Care Package, got another AC130. Hell of a round. On the second one, I was nearly at Tac Nuke. 4 kills in it. I should not play TDM because it won't give me enough time.

I still haven't witnessed a nuke, however I do usually play Team Deathmatch Express so there isn't enough time!

You should play Free For All its full of boosters and cheaters killing eachother to get nukes, highly annoying

I'm just about to prestidge for my third time and finally decided I should try this nuke business. I never messed with it before because I might only go on a 25+ once or twice a day. Regardless I put it on as my kill streak yesterday and got my 25th kill on Wasteland when the score (in Domination) was 199 to 131. Talk about a close call...

So, I decided to see what all the hype was about and got the PC version. I haven't played an FPS since GOLDENEYE 64! I really don't like shooting games, but I saw someone post a link here on Neowin to "Battlefield Heroes", a free MMO third person shooter, got hooked, and decided to go to something "better".

I played about 5 hours worth of campaign on the "regular" difficulty and I SUCK at it. It's so fast paced and chaotic, I don't like it. I appreciate the stealthy level(s) so far, but that's about it. It's like an actual war zone... I can honestly say that I prefer Battlefield Heroes over this...

That said, multiplayer is okay... I'm just not good at it yet. Question - How do I enter the vehicles? I see civilian cars, trucks, tanks, missile launchers, etc... But I can't use them? There's gotta be a way, 'cause every match those stupid harriers come and bomb everyone. And occasionally, helicopters.

How many tactical nukes have people had then? Anyone got that spinning emblem yet? I'm on 6 at the moment.

I have had around 48 of them. But unlike some people I know who should not go for them, I rarely ever go for them. I will only sometimes load those killstreaks. I do not keep an exact count like people do in their profiles nor will I ever do that. The people I constantly play with know how many my bro and I get and it really does not matter after that. Tactical Nukes are easy to get (without camping) especially against dumb players aka those who can not shoot down helicopters (use a Stinger or AT4-HS).

I am totally against the killstreaks after like 7 kills. Once the Harrier starts, the fun in the game drops to almost 0.

You really need to use an a Stinger or AT4-HS as your secondary, then shoot a few shots (you or anyone else, Stopping Power Pro with help) into the harrier/whichever afterwards unless it is obviously a AC-130.

    • 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.
