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.

    • The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months

      By sphbecker · Posted

      Glad these prices are starting to come down, but that is still crazy. I bought the 2TB 9100 Pro (slightly more expensive version with PCIe 5.0) last year for $240.
    • The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      The 2TB Samsung 990 PRO NVMe SSD hits lowest price in over three months by Sayan Sen Yesterday, we covered a really good deal wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 NVMe PCIe Gen4 SSD for a low price of just $400 with a special discount coupon. That's just $100 per TB, making it a very good offer during these hard times. The deal is still live, so you can check it out in its dedicated article here if you do not want to miss out. Meanwhile, if you don't have that kind of budget but still wish to buy an SSD for a good price, the 2TB variant of the TeamGroup SSD at $280 its lowest price in over three months. Meanwhile, those seeking 2TB but faster performance can check out Samsung's 990 PRO, which has hit the lowest price also in the last quarter or so, as it's on sale for $370 (purchase links under the specs table down below). Thus, you want a faster drive, get the 990 Pro, or you want more capacity, grab the TeamGroup 4TB linked in the first para. The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $500. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The tech specs are given below: Specification TeamGroup T-FORCE G50 2TB Samsung 990 PRO 2TB Interface PCIe 4.0 x4, NVMe 1.4 PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 Form Factor M.2 2280 M.2 2280 Controller InnoGrit Controller Samsung In-house Controller NAND Flash 3D TLC 3D TLC DRAM Cache None (HMB supported) 2GB LPDDR4 Sequential Read (Max) 5,000 MB/s 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write (Max) 4,500 MB/s 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4K) Up to 600,000 IOPS Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4K) Up to 700,000 IOPS Up to 1,550,000 IOPS TBW (Endurance) 1,300 TBW 1,200 TBW MTBF 3,000,000 hours 1,500,000 hours Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C 0°C to 70°C Storage Temperature -40°C to 85°C -40°C to 85°C Shock Resistance 1,500G / 0.5ms 1,500G / 0.5ms Heatsink Patented Graphene Heat Spreader No Get them at the links below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) TEAMGROUP T-Force G50 2TB SSD (TM8FFE002T0C129): $279.99 (Sold by TeamGroup, Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers

      By FloatingFatMan · Posted

      And here goes the "Won't someone think of the children" brigade. Get stuffed mate. This has NOTHING to do with making the internet safe. It's about tracking adults, spying on your online activity, and sending the boys around when they don't like something you post. Also, again, parliament have voted TWICE against this, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. THAT is anti-democratic bullsh**. They will use this law to track you, they will use this law to control you, and they will use this law to punish you if they don't like what you do, even if it's legal. And your data? Say bye bye to that. It'll be on the darkweb in weeks. I'm not some rando online. I've been an IT professional for 40 years, many of it in security. I know exactly what this means and what will happen to your data. I do not consent and I will not comply.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault

      By sphbecker · Posted

      "...but it may not be Microsoft's fault" seems like a reasonable way to tease what is going on without leaving the user with a false impression that an update is the problem. A title isn't a summery, it is meant to entice the user to read the article. It should not contain a misleading premise; which this title does not. You could maybe complain that the first paragraph should have included that detail. The writing style popularized over 100 years ago in newspapers will cover the most important information as soon as possible with details and nuance added later; the idea being that with each new paragraph you have less of the reader's focus.
