[Official] Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2


Recommended Posts

Can't edit post but if you notice you're in a game with negative XP hack/glitch/mod then you can just dashboard the game which will not save ANY stats. If you quit ("leave game") you can be sure that your stats will be reset. If you finish the match, the stats will count.

So unless you want to restart all over again, just dashboard the game (or eject the disc or turn off the xbox or sign out of xbox live..)

My friend just showed me that. It looks like it is those hacked servers only which is obvious by the enhanced speed/jumping so if you get in one of those games just leave immediately. I have only been in one hacked speed match in the last two weeks, so I'm not worried but I'll post here if any of my friends encounter a hacked match (on XBL at least).

It's already been patched on the PC. Patch still being tested for 360 and PS3 though. Which.. will be another week.

Kinda mad that they're changing the sprint you get with a care package grenade :(.

Are you serious? I've seen people do it and it is quick annoying and will cut down on the amount of people knifing in general (which is good).

Not sure if you guys are talking about this problem with the PC, but if there isn't a speed hack on, you basically can't tell the difference between an XP hacked server and a regular one until you get a kill and get promoted to Level 70 in one kill.

I'm not sure what knifing has anything to do with it unless you're in games where people get a care package to run SLOWER than marathon+lightweight to knife people.

For what it's worth, you were able to sprint a little faster if you had your carepackage grenade out but it's slower than people using legitimate perks (marathon and lightweight.) I didn't use it THROUGHOUT a game but if I got a care package near enemies, I'd take it out and run with it (since I don't use the marathon or lightweight perk.)

So yeah, I'm serious, k.

And lol @ it cutting down amount of knifing. Guess you don't remember about marathon, lightweight and commando + tactical knife. lolz.

I'm talking about the people who use the care package in conjunction with marathon+lightweight to run at super human speed. At least this way now there is only marathon+lightweight which is insanely easier to deal with.

People were using the Marathon/Lightweight/Commando setup WITH the care package bug.

It was implied that I meant I was dissatisfied with the amount of knifing period (including the current perks). Trust me, nobody will forget marathon, lightweight, and commando for the amount of sheer frustration they cause.

Not as bad as always having someone on your team that does nothing but this in.every.single.game.

That's odd because when I used that setup I never noticed sprinting even faster with the care package grenade out.

Why did you quote my edited topic? That was up for 5 seconds (if that). Constantly refreshing much? You run faster with care package that the aforementioned setup, period.

I subscribe to all threads I post in. If you're going to reply to a thread then edit it, perhaps just wait to submit a response if you're not sure you want to stick with it.

It was only after I re-read your confusing post (in which your posting false information) that I realized my mistake. Mistakes happen, sorry.

1. Care Package, Emergency Airdrop, and Sentry Gun marker grenades sprint speed normalized

2. Sentry Guns: Improved placement detection, preventing cases of Sentry Guns inside geometry

3. Model 1887: Bling using Akimbo and FMJ combination now has same range and damage as non-Bling Model 1887s

4. Improved player collision removing cases of getting into geometry and 'elevators'

The game is a lot more playable without speed/care package glitchers and overall feels a bit more even. The connection issues though are still frustrating and now I can say that I can play it with a bit more positive attitude before BF:BC2 comes out :)

awww... just when i unlocked the akimbo 1887's too :(

and this set up continues to amaze me

fal with holographic and silencer

perk 1 bling

perk 2 stopping power

perk 3 ninja

I have an easy way to deal with them. Spas-12 with Grip and Danger Close = Beautiful. Rarely fails.

I finally ran into one of those marathon+lightweight+care package guys last night. He was moving pretty damn fast, but he actually wasn't playing that well at all. I checked on his score once during the match and he was 10-15. Granted, we were playing on Scrapyard, so there's a decent amount of open space between him and his potential victims. Makes stopping him pretty easy.

Earlier that night, I ran into a guy with the riot shield, and that was far more annoying...

riot shielders get respect from me... if one of them manages to kill me or distracts me enough to get killed by someone else then they did their job, hats off

I've gone 40 and 15 with marathon + lightweight + commando + tac knife on skid row (I NEVER used care package though)

Yeah, most of the time he wasn't killing me himself, but I was so preoccupied with trying to get him that one of his teammates would swoop in for the kill. I need a good anti-shield strategy...

40-15? Damn, that's pretty impressive. I suppose Skidrow would be a good map for knifing though, since it's pretty much all close-quarters (apart from maybe one area).

I love coming across riot shielders that forget to toss up blast shield. Gives me more sticky kills. I carry an AT4 though too so majority of the time I'll just hit them with that.

Although.. there are the few rare occasions when that awesome AT4 seems to bounce off the shield and back at me.. :(

    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.

    • Microsoft Weekly: 5 years of Windows 11, more support for Windows 10, and expensive Xbox by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft giving Windows 10 one more year of support, Windows 11 getting new taskbar settings in preview updates, Steam Machine prices, higher XBOX prices, and many more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. On June 24, 2026, Windows 11 turned five. The controversial operating system was released half a decade ago, and during these years, it received a fair share of criticism (such as poor Windows Search and its web results), which Microsoft is now actively addressing with regular preview updates that deliver missing, long-requested features. With Windows 12 nowhere to be seen on the horizon, it will be interesting to see if Windows 11 can stay on the market for as long as Windows 10 did. Speaking of Windows 10 and staying on the market, this week, Microsoft quietly prolonged the Extended Security Updates program for Windows 10, allowing users to get one more year of security updates if they do not want or cannot upgrade to Windows 11. Finally, Microsoft released this month's non-security update for Windows 11. KB5095093 arrived with a traditionally long list of new features, including point-in-time restore, new Windows Update settings, quieter Windows Widgets, new accessibility features, File Explorer updates and performance improvements, and more. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Build 29617.1000 and build 28120.2374 These builds bring new accessibility features, new Windows Update controls, audio improvements, and more. Dev Channel Build 26300.8758 This build includes redesigned taskbar settings, File Explorer improvements, and more. Beta Channel Build 26220.8754 and build 28020.2366 This small update fixes the OneDrive bug in File Explorer, tweaks system sounds in dark mode, and more. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. If you use AI-powered browsing history search in Microsoft Edge, the company has bad news. A new update on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap revealed that Microsoft is discontinuing the feature. Despite using on-device models for natural search, some users found it creepy, claiming that Microsoft lacks trust in features like this. While the ability to find pages without using 100% precise words may sound cool, customers argued that it was nothing but another feature to bloat the browser with more AI. Good riddance? PowerToys received several updates this week. For one, Microsoft released version 0.100.1 with several improvements and bug fixes for the recently arrived version 0.100. A couple of days later, Microsoft dropped another update, this time fixing memory leaks in Command Palette Dock. In addition, the company is working on a new module that will make it easier to switch between windows within one application using the Alt + ` shortcut. The new module should make it to the stable release somewhere soon. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: New Ventoy update adds Windows 11's mandatory update support and more Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with chat cost tracking and multi-agent chats Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" Microsoft adds new AI study and teaching tools for free to Microsoft 365 Education Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams Microsoft's fast coding model, MAI-Code-1-Flash, comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: AMD Radeon Software 26.6.2 with FSR 4.1 support for RDNA 3 graphics card. However, the driver contained a bug, which prevented installations on Windows 10 PCs. AMD fixed that with a quick hotfix update. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week This week, Steven Parker published several reviews. He shared his experience with the Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe, a high-quality sound card with a headphone amp, low-latency communications, great build quality, and DSD256. However, it is on the pricier side of the spectrum, and it lacks EMI shielding. Check out the full review here. The second review is about the TerraMaster F4-425 Pro, an octa-core Intel NAS with a stand-out feature: built-in AI (OpenClaw). We also published a few Hands On reviews, which you can view below: We check out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on Hands-on with BOOX Tappy: cute little reading accessory Hands on with the ProtoArc EM25 affordable ergonomic mouse On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. If you plan to purchase a new Xbox, it's time to act now. This week, Microsoft announced yet another Xbox price increase. Starting August 1, 2026, all Xbox Series X|S models with 512 GB of storage will cost $100 more. As for the 1TB models, they are going up in price by a whopping $150. Finally, Microsoft is discontinuing the 2TB Xbox Series X. To make up for that, Microsoft announced a few programs to make its consoles more accessible. Those include BNPL, interest-free financing, pre-owned consoles, certified refurbished consoles, and more. Valve also shared some not-so-welcome news. The company has finally announced prices of the upcoming Steam Machine console, and if you plan to buy one, get ready to spend a whopping $1,049 on the 512GB configuration. The Steam Machine is now available for preorder, with shipments scheduled for June 29, 2026. Grand Theft Auto VI also received its official price tag. Rockstar Games announced that the long-anticipated game will launch at $79.99 for the base edition and $99.99 for the ultimate edition. The latter includes an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Those who preorder the game will get extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. NVIDIA announced new games for its GeForce NOW streaming service. Those include Dark Scrolls, SAND: Raiders of Sophie, Deer & Boy, EMPULSE, and more. Steam is running its annual Summer Sale, during which you can purchase plenty of various games with big discounts. It runs until July 9, so in case you missed it, you can still get some games at a lower price. Also, you can get two games for free in the Epic Games Store, plus more deals are available in this week's Weekend PC Game Deals issue. This link will take you to other issues of the Microsoft Weekly series. You can also support Neowin by registering for a free member account or subscribing for extra member benefits, along with an ad-free tier option.
    • Text extractor hasn't been working great on 0.99.1 but I am now updating to this version, hopefully it's better!
    • Yet you did exactly what they wanted you to do - is it better now without "Europrats"? BTW, UK had joined EU (EEC back then) and was one of the leading member states, it never joined Schengen Zone though 😉
