[Official] Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2


Recommended Posts

Got 33-4 on High Rise today, was pretty chuffed because the other team were just camping whenever possible and I got the predator/harrier/pave low twice so it pretty much won it for the team! We were about 3k behind and suddenly just whupped! I love it when Pave Low sorts out the campers (Y)

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.. :(

I totally forgot about stickies. I'll have to give that a try next time. The guy I was playing against kept getting right in my face (going for a melee kill), and I didn't know what to do, apart from pray that a teammate comes in from behind and saves me. And this was on Favela, so we were pretty much always close to each other when we met.

Yeah I almost always use a semtex versus a frag. Works out perfect for those riot shields. Although, if they have on blast shield, it'll take more than just that since they'll eat up that semtex!

Microsoft clarifies Mod War 2 DLC deal News

Microsoft has revealed just how much of a headstart Xbox 360 owners will have with the new downloadable content for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

"We have a 30-day timed exclusive on the Modern Warfare content packs," a spokesperson told Eurogamer. "So it will be available on other platforms, but you get to try and play on Xbox 360 first."

The exclusivity deal was first announced at E3 last year. Back then John Schappert said it covered the first two map packs for Mod War 2.

The DLC is due to be released this spring but an exact date has yet to be locked down.

Wonder how much was paid for 30 days. :p

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...

annoying guys. all they do is knife or akimbo shotgun..

though i love it when i kill them multiple times cause there raging and are irrational.

****, i wanna punch Robert Bowling in his annoying face. Since last patch its taking ages to find a game that you can actually connect to, every second game just ends up with connection lost. Also crashing every 20 mins or so on map load. Untill few days ago it was "ok", bearable, but now its just infuriating, to say the least. Tools.

Are you playing on PC, PS3, or 360?

Sounds like PC, where IWnet is completely f'd up. Hosts have been randomly crashing since the last patch so most games time out. And even before the crappy last patch iwnet has been horribly glitchy, with game lobbies randomly closing, not being able to join friends lobbies 70% of the time because it spits random nonsensical errors or just doesn't work.

IWnet is seriously the glitchiest, most obviously untested piece of software I have ever used.

Ouch, that really sucks :\ I don't doubt that it's probably the worst ever.. Considering how sloppy their site launch was I can only imagine how half-assed IWnet is.

I probably would have stopped playing if I had to deal with those issues. It's already bad enough in matchmaking when you're waiting 10+ minutes to find a match (in ground war, on Xbox 360.) I lose my patience then or when we're constantly having to back out because we dropped a player or the room we got into is ****ed up (when all mic icons are missing.)

Any strict NAT's? The only time it ever took more than 20 seconds to get into a game was when I was trying to buddy up with a UK friend (and two of his UK buddies) and since I'm from the US, it took about 3-4 minutes to find a suitable server (plus they all had strict NAT's).

All eight of us (including myself) have open NAT aside from one that has moderate to strict NAT. Even then the strict rarely plays with us and we still have the occurrence of party dropping or going into a bad room without him. (edit: He never has party lead anyway, it's always my boyfriend who has party lead with open NAT and typically pulls host out of the majority of us who live within ~20 miles of each other. Then again he did perfect his settings with his modem/router anyway, <3 my nerd.)

Wow that sucks. The only time we ever have a problem where somebody gets kicked from our party is when I try to play with my friend who has a strict NAT. I have had games tell me my NAT is open when it clearly isn't though, so I went through my modem and router and promptly cleaned it up to make 100% mines open.

Ah I love MW2! Faced some guys that were talking some pretty heavy smack. I noticed pretty quickly that one of two guys that were talking smack was on our team (which was weird). After he was 0 and 5 I knew he was boosting. Somebody on our team followed him the entire match and the guy he was boosting still ended up getting over 30 kills which is sad because our team beat them hard. We always had somebody with a Stinger taking out any killstreaks so it was pretty hilarious to watch them try to boost.

My nat is open and I correctly forwarded all my ports for this game and it STILL doesn't work right. And the host selection is crap, everyone always has horrible ping and it selects the worst possible host. I NEVER get host even though I have a fast computer and fast cable internet, the only way I can get host is by using the trick to make iwnet make you host, and when I am host no one lags. Yet it still picks these terrible hosts for everyone all the time, its ridiculous.

    • I and many others did not vote to get out of the E.u because of Putin or Farage, we did so for our own reasons. You don't have to tel me what my own did or did not do when it comes to the E.U. The EEC is or was the European Economic Community, a different beast to what the E.U is now.The EEC was a mainly about trading, the E.U have gone far beyond that and as I have said before, is now more of a United States of Europe. The U.K did not vote to join a United States of Europe. Anyway, they did not want us in there in the first place, Charles de Gaulle stopped us joining as he claimed we didn’t agree with the core ideas of integration. He was not wrong and that is why we voted out of the E.U when the time came. I was not old enough to vote the first time. My only regret is that we did not have the referendum years ago and got out years ago. If we rejoined, we would have to agree to join the Euro and no doubt Schengen, agree with freedom of movement, we have enough problem with people coming over here as it is. i have no problem with people coming over here if they work and don't try to push their way of life onto us. The E.U has a currency, freedom of movement, an anthem a flag, a parliament, well they are there, not sure if they do anything. Don't sound like something that is just for trading. Oh yeah, also wanted a euro Army. How many stupid rules have the E.U made that we had to follow? I doubt I will see the Uk rejoin the E.U, which suits me. Oh yeah, my partner is Polish, she came over here before Poland joined the E.U and she got fed up of people just coming over here with ease, while she had to struggle. She is now a British citizen and have been for a fair few years
    • Hello, Paul. Thanks for the editorial. It was interesting. I'm going research more into the app and its concept. Of course, if you know me at all, you know that I'd say your articles needs some editing! I a;ways do, don't I? For instance, the article occasionally mentions a concept before defining it, e.g., relays.
    • Screamer is 50% off on Steam, making it £24.99 here in the UK: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2814990/Screamer/ You might remember the series from the mid 90s / early 2000s, this new game is also by Milestone who created the older games.
    • 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.
