Aim assist in SP only works if you're close to the target and there's a definite "snap" to the target as soon as you aim down the sights.

I've just tried it on MP and there's nothing like that. I aimed down my sights using SCAR-H w/ ACOG sights and there was no snapping to target or even dragging when someone passed it by.

Its probably the reason why you've got so many kills LOL

I don't have a lot of kills and my K/D ratio is around 1.29 Same K/D ratio as any of the other FPS I've played. You can notice the aim assist in SP but it doesn't work with MP. At least not here I think. :huh:

As far as I know, it is only a very light aim assist in the MP, and it is nothing like the SP where it snaps right to a person, it just moves every so slightly in the direction the person who is running when you aim at them (if they are moving), It is more like a very small nudge in the correct direction, not a true aim assist by any means.

It's enough to be annoying if you rely on pin-point accuracy - The times my aim has been messed up when trying to kill someone and a second player running in front of my scope, literally dragging it away from my target. Oh and it's not always just "a very small nudge", the effect can be pretty profound in certain situations.

This. Not that MW2 is the only game to do this (Halo 1/2/3, for example, also do it), but it's incredibly annoying to have the game decide to make your crosshairs chase a target who is not nearly as big a threat as the one you are trying to shoot.

I love MW2 ... it has the best graphics I've seen in a game ... the subtleties in the detailing etc is just phenomenal ... the scene where you're in the capital building and looking over Washington is IMMENSE! Don't tell me other games look better right now. They don't. MW2 is getting a lot of geek hate. It happens to all high rated games. The geeks come out in full force to slag the game off because they feel 'cool' or 'powerful' for going against the grain. MW2 is probably the best FPS game I have played. And I've played em all now. It may not be long enough, but no other game immerses you as much, no other game has the 'feel' that MW has ... the feel of the character movement, the guns etc ... it's perfect. Other games pale.

There. Done.

Are knife fights common on the console like they are on PC? Lightweight pro, marathon pro, commando pro for extended reach and throwing knives.

I forget the level name, but there is an open area courtyard and a laundry mat next to it. There was 2 guys chasing each other knifing the entire time. Looked like the greaser knife fight dance from the 50's.

I've done that on the 1v1 cage matches for a laugh. :p

Batman, Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, Left 4 Dead 2 and Assassins Creed 2 all look a damn sight better.

Really? REALLY?... REALLY?!

MW2 is probably the best FPS game I have played.

Go play Half Life 2.

MW2 is impressively fluid due to 60FPS and what it does on consoles for being a 60FPS FPS is impressive, but hell no is it the best looking game, not even on the PC maxed out.

To be fair it's variable 60FPS on consoles anyway, but aside from some heavy set pieces in SP, I don't think the frame rate dips much. You certainly can't call it locked at 60, only way you're getting it locked at 60 is on a PC.

The feel of MW1/2 is the best 'arcadey feel', hence why it's like half price candy to the masses, but if you're talking in how guns really act and what not, no :p Recoil is pretty much non-existent for a start.

I think the biggest problem for people isn't they hate the game, it's just I assume it feels like been there done that, with a SP campaign that's getting a lot of flak, I'm presuming a lot of the COD4 vets are getting bored quickly with MW2 MP as it feels very similar.

Of course more of the same when something is good usually goes down well, but there's a fair few other titles coming out just now that are almost overhauls, see AC2 for one, that are drawing people away from MW2.

    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.

      +1000 to this, don't understand why they added that margin around the top bar, even the close button is a PITA to click without aiming. Ofc, this is just preview and hopefully they will revert such odd UX decision before hitting final version.
