[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.

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

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'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.
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.. :(

    • So I did a quick test based on 3+ different public instances from the litany at searx.space ... and it spins everything rather differently. It seems that SearXNG is a meta-search engine (queries multiple search indexes rather than only Google's or Bing's or Wikipedia's or Reddit's) that operates in two modes: > public instances ... each instance opens itself to outside users who piggyback on its cached search history; this instance's own identity becomes known/tracked but end-users are hidden similar to an anonymization proxy; this instance's querying of major search indexes may be API based [rated limited, blocked, etc.]). > private instances ... your private install/instance that itself queries multiple (configurable) search indexes of crawled web content; every major Search Engine associates all traffic to your private instance (so your traffic is tracked via network usages) but client-side tracking (your own browser/computer specs) is flushed because it's a "server" doing the querying rather than your browser. My test asked the same 1 question to the 3+ engines and they all returned vastly different results: some had CAPTCHA failures against Google, some had failures against Wikipedia, and the actual results were also different -- some had auto-complete enabled, others returned a wikipedia highlighted excerpt despite the Wikipedia failure (hinting at results being cached from previous keyword matching), and others just gave an Are-You-Human non-CAPTCHA loop before returning random results. So this begs the caveat: Search query results will vary based on which instance is used because every instance queries the other search indexes separate (and thus its results are influenced on that instance's aggregate search history and index-access limitations). The major distinctions for SearXNG versus DDG or Brave: > The search UI is 'untracked' since no UI trackers are baked-in which would phone home or lay cookies into your browser (for DDG/Brave usage stats), > There is no 'crawler' that canvasses the Internet to discover fresh content (it leaves that to the major search indexes), > Queries multiple search indexes ("meta-search engine") based on the configurations and usage history of the server instance, > Privacy-friendly due to its ability to shield user tracking via standing up a non-local server instance connectable to major VPN providers: queries would all appear to come from general VPN/Proxy providers rather than your private instance (whether installed locally or on your own VPS in the cloud). PS: I've previously come across specialized search engines of this nature that indexes searches across media assets like YT, OF, etc. SearXNG seems to be a good backbone...if the rate-limiting/captcha/etc. issues were resolved.
    • For a guy who claims to hate Farage and the ignorant, gullible, rightwing racist skinheads sponsored by Putin that his lies represent, you sure are quoting them time and time and time again, mate. I guess you're conveniently ignoring the fact that your country and commonwealth just happened to work much better when it was still part of the E.U.? Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.
    • Do you live in the U.K? Do any of the people here that are against the UK leaving the E.U, live in the U.K? If not then why are you bothered? If you do live here then it is a different thing . Brexit was a good idea, should have done it years before, it was done badly, but the idea was good. You are saying the same thing as remainers do, oh we did what Putin wanted, we listened to the lies and Farage. I hate Farage and never believed most of what he said, certainly did not believe the £350m a week for the NHS. But we did pay a lot of money to the E.U and yes some of it came back, but what is the point of paying it out for only some of it to come back? Get out of the E.U, no money to them and in theory we can use the money to do things in the country. I said in theory, but our governments are a total and complete waste of space. No matter what colour rosette they wear. You and others say it was a mistake and yet the two main parties in the U.K are not looking at rejoining the EU, I wonder why that is? I was not tricked by anyone. Makes no odds now, we are out and have been for 10 years, what we need is a decent government to run the country. All they do is shout at each other like a load of kids and seems to do nothing and make this country more into a police and nanny state. Getting more like China all the time.

    • Yeah... The root of my comment, ostensibly, is how to spin the story via the actual technical merits of the solution! * Decentralized (aka federated) solution with built-in encrypted ephemeral message transport, * Transport via Relays (intermediary servers) with no message archival, * Second configurable pathway are actual email servers (if DNS records are programmed accordingly) via IMAP protocols carriage, * "Chat-over-Email" is the design pattern adopted; it can either leverage full-blown Email Server (must use the INBOX folder) to exchange all received messages/edits/reactions (so be weary of notifications overloads) [best practice is creating a separate email acct used explicitly for federated chat purposes!] or leverage its built-in Relay Server mechanism which actually resides on-device (by default but can be configured otherwise), * By virtue of be a decentralized/federated model, all other intermediary servers who may pass-along messages (while the recipient's final relay/device is inaccessible) cannot snoop on the messages due to the encrypted nature of contents. The intermediaries may, however, analyze the metadata due to the simple fact that routing mechanisms require hints for relay destinations. Unfortunately, whomever is posting about DeltaChat across socials are misleading with "zero metadata" claims -- especially when the Relays (according to their own technical documents) mandate the addition of chat-version metadata and other decorations in order to actually transport any message. -- Based on this summary, I'd prefer if they'd better dual-path message transport (email server add-in, federated relay engine) rather than patch-on email protocols to existing federated social media frameworks. They're frankensteining something rather than extending widely-deployed technology stacks.
