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?

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      How many other companies will follow Ford's lead? Or, have they already gotten lazy and become enslaved to AI--and now can't figure out how to get out of that mess.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      Why would any self-respecting intelligent person follow any recommendation by Donald's GOP administration? With almost two years of fabrications, deceit, and blatantly illegal behavior, why believe them now? They had best be gone after the November 2026 election, so we'll wait and see.
    • AltSendme 0.4.1

      By Copernic · Posted

      AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      By zikalify · Posted

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
