I've heard stories and so many things about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 in terms of resetting everybodies rank on November 9th, or 10th or 11th.

I've also heard rumors that if you sign into Xbox LIVE with COD:MW2 in, you'll instantly get banned. Some even said they are recording all the usernames and going to ban them on November 10th.

So I decided to just try it. I turned on my xbox, played a few matches and not been banned, yet.

I googled, and looked all the infinity ward blogs about these "rumors", and so far turned up nothing.

I've received hate mail, and people complaining to me on Xbox LIVE (those 'friends' are not removed), saying all these things to me.

I know some people have heard this stuff too, but there isn't any proof that Infinity Ward is going to do anything about it. Personally, I don't care, but I got the game on Saturday and im dying to play multiplayer lol.

Does anybody have a link to an official source about this stuff?

Rumors and nothing more. Think about the complexity and increase in support calls for mass banning or for profile modification. Not to mention the technical aspects of implementing such a system. Yeah, they probably have the capability, but using it is another story. Don't worry about it. Probably nothing will happen.

You are wrong people, YOU CAN STILL GET BANNED. You can still get banned, but its not because you bought the game early and played it early. It is because they don't know whether you pirated the game or not. So if you are banned, all you have to do is call MS up and show them that you bought the game and its not pirated and you will be un-banned. :)

Simple as that.

Okay, time for

FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL.

again.

Please, for the future of humanity stop posting such nonsense. MS have many ways of catching out the pirates, most popular is playing a leaked copy that cannot be verified as 100% legit until more retail copies are doing circulation.

If the copy is 1:1 belief is they cannot detect you, but it's a fact the copies of MW2 that leaked were botched, and people were clambering over the workarounds to get them playing.

How about this..

seems like a lot of people are getting it early in the UK, but in the US no one seems to be selling it early, which I am not going to complain, poor old UK has to wait on along of things that we get early over here in the states, so good for them (Y)

My friend in the states already got his copy from Gamestop. His in Pennselvania. It seems a lot of places are disregarding the street date.

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
