[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.. :(

    • 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.
