[Official] Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2


Recommended Posts

Does anybody consistently use the AK47? That was the only gun I used in the original MW but I hate how it is level 70 in MW2. Each time I hit level 70 I prestige so I never get to use it.

tried it yesterday for the 1st time. cant see why anyone would pick the ak47 over the scar to be honest

They were replaced with a lot of other tard-weapons to use

i have claymores on all my classes... except 1 sniper class and 1 famas class

what would u consider a tard alternative to claymores?

Maybe it's just me, or maybe the maps are more open but I have barely seen a claymore, like...maybe twice!! :s

They used to be EVERYWHERE in COD4, what happened? :laugh:

They're more widespread in Hardcore, it's because it's Equipment and not a perk. It replaces Grenades.

Then don't prestige? I never understood the whole prestige thing...

I used the AK alot, I find it very good.

Yeah I don't see the point in Prestige, having to unlock everything all over again seems stupid to me. Plus I love the AK, I use it a lot. That or the SCAR. More often I'm using an SMG class though like the UMP45 which is a great weapon silenced!

Back in the first Modern Warfare, I constantly told myself I wouldn't prestige - I then went prestige. I told myself I wouldn't do it again but I did.

It was actually quite nice to be 'forced' to use some of the lower level weapons so you didn't have a ton of choice, I was picking new weapons every other round

because I couldn't decide. Plus, it also makes you feel like the XP is going somewhere, gives you that extra drive to do some special moves etc. I couldn't stand watching my XP

going nowhere.

I think prestige is awesome and a fantastic idea.

Pretty much my exact same view and experience (Y)

I never prestiged in COD4, just didn't feel like it.

I do prestige in MW2 though. It's honestly not that bad.. If you do challenges, you can easily get back up to higher ranking with any weapons you usually use. I prestiged again the other night and played a couple of hours (barely) and was already back up to a 34. Cycle through your weapons and rank them up, do your challenges and rank up. ;)

Prestiging ain't got nothin' on me.

Which one is pointless? Prestigeing or not prestigeing? :laugh:

Answered. Why sacrifice all your unlocks and everything except for titles and emblems for a shiny new rank icon? :rolleyes:

UPDATE 11:20 PM: It turns out Activision may have showed their hand in this matter earlier today.

In an SEC filing made earlier today, Activision cited a human resources investigation into "into breaches of contract and insubordination by two senior employees at Infinity Ward."

Based on the information we currently have, at least one of those employees may have included Infinity Ward CTO Jason West. It's possible Vince Zampella is the other unmentioned employee.

"This matter is expected to involve the departure of key personnel and litigation," read the Activision's filing. "At present, the Company does not expect this matter to have a material impact on the Company."

Unlucky. Dance with the devil, expect to get burned.

A poster on Kotaku said that their royalty checks are due to be paid soon. Pretty damn low if true. No idea if it's true or not..but with Activision anything is possible.

Yeah it's low, could be a cloud with a silver lining. Hopefully they can kick-start something new and refreshing without having the sequel crazy Activision on their heels.

I was thinking about that royalty cheque thing. It doesn't really make sense unless Activision is wanting to be sued. Technically they could falsify sales records and risk the wrath of the government, but really, just to save maybe a couple million? I really doubt they would do it.

Also this whole publicity stunt thing makes no sense either. It won't dull the sales of Bad Company 2, nor will it encourage sales of MW2.

The only thing that does make sense is IW wanted to make something new and Activision, being the sequel company they are, didn't want them to.

Maybe Jason West got sick of being Bobby Kotick's lapdog. One of the reasons that these guys formed Infinity Ward in the first place was to get away from being shackled by EA. Out of the frying pan and into the fire?

    • 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.
