I can't believe people are buying this DLC. Especially PC gamers. :/

I bought it because I had spare money lying around and I enjoy the game. I doubt I'll buy another CoD game though but I'm really enjoying MW2 so I thought why not.

And this will tide me over until the Engineer update for TF2. ;)

? Why, because we like the maps and the game?

Because it's essentially 3 new maps for 1/4 of the whole game's price (going on $15/$60, worse for UK gamers at ?11/?35).

It's clearly priced to see what they can get away with, and it seems to have worked out well for them.

Ok, good for you. The millions of us enjoying the maps will continue to do so.

Soo... For the 2nd time in a month, they're doing another free weekend on steam. Are they really that desperate to try to get more people to buy this overpriced and below average game?

? Why, because we like the maps and the game?

Because what is essentially a bonus pack of a merely few maps and nothing else should be free. Not stupidly priced like this.

Not only that but MW2 itself is 15% off on Steam. I'm thinking they are desperate.

For me, I would rather get paid for my work.

Second Modern Warfare 2 Map Pack Coming This Fall

Activision has given a release window for the next map pack for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

COO Thomas Tippl confirmed on today's financial call that the pack will be released in the back half of calendar 2010. Tippl provided no additional details, only adding that the pack is currently in development by Infinity Ward.

Earlier in the call, Activision CEO Bobby Kotick stated the 'Call of Duty' series has sold 17 million map packs total on Xbox Live. He also said there has been over 1.75 billion hours worth of Call of Duty multiplayer games on Xbox Live.

The first map pack for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 saw sales reach over one million downloads on Xbox Live in the first 24 hours.

I just bought the Stimulus Package, and now there are two new 'Game Modes'. Is this the only play to play these maps? If they're not added to the playlist of the normal gametypes, I'll be very annoyed! I like to choose my gametype.

At the moment there's only the Stimulus and Stimulus Hardcore playlists, which add a mix of gametypes on just those maps. This is so that those without can play as normal, it's the same system Bungie used with Halo 3. Over time these maps will get included into more playlists, leaving the most popular ones until last (Read: Team Deathmatch).

This is so it's fair on those who haven't purchased it yet and they can still play as normal. I personally don't mind, I'll play the maps when I want to, and when I don't I go back to the regular gametypes.

FYI, the stimulus maps are in the regular playlists now, in addition to having their own playlists. Has been for awhile.

I presume it depends on who you're matched up with. If just one player don't have the map pack, it doesn't get selected. Simple.

I love Crash, great for earning FMJ kills towards Extended Mags and Mastery :)

I guess the system tries to match up those with map packs with others that have map packs, and also has the regular maps. I haven't used the stimulus section since they changed it. I get rotated in all the maps now in all the game types.

New Barebones Pro Playlists , removes killstreak rewards

http://fourzerotwo.com/post/723560718/barebonespro

No charge for it either :whistle: :laugh:

I'm not going to lie, I'm tempted to give it a go. The killstreak rewards are undoubtedly the worst part of the game in my humble opinion, and while their exclusion certainly doesn't fix all that ails MW2, it's a big step in the right direction. That said, I wonder how many other people are going to be interested in these playlists. And even if I do end up enjoying it, I'm sure as hell not going to drop $30 to get all of the new maps.

I have been playing that playlist more then the other ones so far today. Now about a playlist that does not have commando and shotgun/machine pistols as secondary.

Personally, I would love a playlist that removes all killstreak rewards, heartbeat monitors, thermal scopes, dual wielding weapons, and any perks that can turn people into knife ninjas. That said, at least they're taking some baby steps :).

I raved this game hard for many months, and I have 260+ hours in it, prestiged twice and have both map packs. However, I have moved on to Battlefield Bad Company 2 now, and MW2 is collecting dust. Probably won't play it again anytime soon, and will move on to Black Ops.

Black Ops will fail, simply because Teryach is making it.

The new map pack has really gotten me into the game again. They're way better than the first map pack.

I know Treyarch has had a bad name going back to COD3, but I enjoyed COD WaW.

    • Secure Boot

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Simple answer is yes, you will still get the Windows updates and as long as browser is up to date, you will be good. Only thing secure boot does is protect you against boot level threats and make it harder to install other OS's. I've been looking into this pretty thoroughly lately myself as wifes computer has secure boot disabled plus my other, older computers that run Linux, don't have secure boot enabled. Have seen all kinds of questions about this on the Linux Mint and MX Linux forums. Just don't suddenly enable secure boot now.
    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      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.

      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.
