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.

    • Microsoft further improving Windows 11 Taskbar with latest builds

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft further improving Windows 11 Taskbar with latest builds by Sayan Sen Microsoft has released new Windows 11 builds for users flighting the Experimental channels. The new builds are 26300.8758 for Windows 11 26H2, 28120.2374 for 26H1, and 29617.1000 for future platforms. There are improvements related to the Taskbar, File Explorer and more with the new update. The full changelogs are given below: First we have the build 26300.8758: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out [Taskbar] Taskbar customization just got easier. As we continue to make improvements to the Taskbar experience mentioned last month, we've introduced a dedicated Taskbar Size setting, making it simpler to find, understand, and personalize your ideal taskbar experience. UI showing the new Taskbar Size setting in Settings. We've also made refinements to the transitions between taskbar sizes for a smoother overall experience. [File Explorer] We've improved the reliability of thumbnail previews for cloud files in the Details pane. The pane has also been reorganized so file properties are easier to find and review at a glance. Fixed an issue where the OneDrive shortcut in File Explorer stops working when File Explorer is run in administrative mode. Fixed an issue where the confirmation dialog might display an internal Recycle Bin file name instead of the original file name when permanently deleting a file. [Sounds] Improved system sounds when using Windows in dark mode. Up next we have build 28120.2374: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out This update includes a small set of general improvements and fixes [Mobile Device Settings] You can add and manage your mobile devices in Settings under Bluetooth & Devices > Mobile Devices. On this page, you can manage features such as using your device as a connected camera or accessing your device's files in File Explorer. [Remote Recovery Management] Added a recovery remote management plug-in to extend WinRE management capabilities for MDM providers. [Input] The emoji panel (Windows key + period (.)) now uses GIPHY as the GIF provider, delivering a smoother GIF browsing and sharing experience following the deprecation of the Tenor API. Finally we have the changelog for Windows 11 build 29617.1000: Changes and improvements gradually being rolled out [Windows Update] As announced in the Windows Update announce blog, we are now bringing a new unified update experience to reduce the number of reboots you see per month. We are starting by coordinating driver, .NET, and firmware updates to align with the monthly quality update, reducing the update experience to a single monthly restart. See the blog for more information. [Windows Magnifier] Magnifier now gives you more control over how you zoom. You can type an exact zoom percentage directly in the magnifier toolbar to land on precisely the level you need. We've also added preset step increments (5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 100%, 150%, 200%, and 400%) to the Settings dropdown, so you can jump to common levels in a single click. Whether you need a subtle boost or a dramatic close-up, Magnifier adapts to how you want to zoom. Enter an exact percentage or jump to preset steps —5% up to 400%. Feedback: Share your thoughts in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Accessibility > Magnifier. [Accessibility] We're introducing screen tint, a new accessibility setting that applies a color overlay across your entire display, softening its intensity so it's easier on your eyes throughout the day. If bright, saturated screens leave you with tired or sensitive eyes by the end of a long session, screen tint can help. Screenshot showing UI for screen tint in Accessibility, with color presets and a strength slider. To get started, open Settings > Accessibility (or press WIN + U) and look for screen tint under the Vision section. From there, you can: Pick from six preset colors or choose a custom color of your own. Adjust the tint strength slider from a subtle wash to full intensity. Night light warms your display to reduce blue light that can interfere with sleep. Screen tint reduces overall screen intensity to ease eye fatigue and light sensitivity during the day. They tackle different problems and you can use both at the same time, one working on warmth and the other on intensity. Note that turning on screen tint will disable color filters, and vice versa. If you currently rely on color filters, you might need to keep screen tint turned off. Feedback: Share your thoughts in Feedback Hub (WIN + F) under Accessibility > Narrator. [Voice Access] Voice Access now supports Portuguese (Portugal), Portuguese (Brazil), and Korean (South Korea). [Audio] Continuing our work on improving Sound Settings, we've made a few more updates in this build: We've adjusted the description text for the Allow option in properties for audio devices to include the current state of the device, to improve the clarity of the text and the purpose of the button actions. "Listen to this device" is now available in properties for audio devices, so you don't need to enter Control Panel for this functionality. [Multiple Desktops] Improved explorer reliability when switching between multiple desktops. [Storage] We've updated the dialog when creating a Dev Drive to now support specifying the size in GB instead of only MB. This has also been added when changing the size of volumes under Settings > System > Storage. [Personalization] This update improves color selection accuracy when adjusting your accent color to match your wallpaper when automatic accent color selection is enabled in Personalization settings. This update improves wallpaper persistence reliability across restarts and upgrades, including better support for large-resolution wallpapers and other scenarios to prevent solid color wallpaper fallback. [Display and Graphics] Improves the reliability and persistence of applying color profiles. You can view the official blog posts here (link1, link2, link3) on Microsoft's site.
