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.

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?

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By excalpius · Posted

      Ignoring the fact that this "colony" kicked the empire of King George's arse during those early years... You are confusing the First Industrial Revolution (which was pulled out of some butt-hurt Brit historian's arse) with the Second Industrial Revolution (aka the Technological Revolution), which transitioned the world from the UK sailing Empire to the USA as a superpower. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_Revolution
    • OpenAI announces GPT‑5.6 Sol, its next-generation flagship model beating Claude Mythos 5

      OpenAI announces GPT‑5.6 Sol, its next-generation flagship model beating Claude Mythos 5 by Pradeep Viswanathan Credit: OpenAI OpenAI today announced a limited preview of its new GPT-5.6 model series, which includes the Sol, Terra, and Luna models targeting different price points. GPT-5.6 Sol is the flagship model targeted at demanding reasoning and agentic workloads. GPT-5.6 Terra is positioned as a balanced model for everyday work, featuring performance competitive with GPT-5.5 while being half the cost. GPT-5.6 Luna is the fastest and most affordable model, delivering strong capability at a lower price point. Unlike previous model releases from OpenAI, GPT-5.6 is starting with a limited preview for a small group of trusted partners due to U.S. government restrictions. As expected, OpenAI previewed its plans and the models' capabilities to the U.S. government ahead of launch, and the government asked OpenAI to limit the first wave of access to select partners. OpenAI also mentioned in the official announcement blog post that it does not believe this type of government access process should become the long-term default. OpenAI highlighted that GPT-5.6 Sol comes with a robust safety stack featuring improved protections for higher-risk activity, sensitive cyber requests, and repeated misuse. The company also spent several weeks pressure-testing the system and hardening it against real-world attacks. On the capability side, as expected, GPT-5.6 Sol is OpenAI’s strongest model yet. It delivers better results in agentic performance across coding, biology, and cybersecurity. On the Terminal-Bench 2.1 benchmark, which tests command-line workflows requiring planning, iteration, and tool coordination, GPT-5.6 Sol sets a new record with a score of 91.9%, beating Anthropic's Claude Mythos 5. Additionally, GPT-5.6 introduces a new "max" reasoning effort for even deeper reasoning. The new "ultra" mode uses subagents to accelerate complex work beyond what a single agent can handle. Pricing starts at $5 per million input tokens and $30 per million output tokens for Sol. Terra costs $2.50 for input and $15 for output, while Luna costs $1 for input and $6 for output. GPT-5.6 comes with more predictable prompt caching, including support for explicit cache breakpoints and a 30-minute minimum cache life. Sol will also launch on Cerebras in July at speeds up to 750 tokens per second for select customers. OpenAI plans to make GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna broadly available in ChatGPT, Codex, and the API in the coming weeks.

      I'm not sure if you are trolling because I saw people saying this with the straight face, but there were no United States of America when industrial revolution started, just United Colonies 🤣 p.s. I'm not British, so I'm not offended.

      Glad I uninstalled this incredibly buggy browser. Looking at that changelog, they clearly don't test their updates at all.
