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.

Lets see.

Game with better graphics than MW2? Crysis, Killzone 2, Uncharted 2.

Game with better warfare gameplay than MW2? Battlefield 2.

Bette overall game than MW2? Half Life 2, Battlefield 2, and many many others.

I disagree.

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?!

Go play Half Life 2.

The 'Really?' comment ... are you trying to be funny? Didn't work.

And I own Half Life 2 ... and no offence, but HL2 is boring compared to MW2.

The one 'good' thing with MW2 graphics is that they are colourful compared to the likes of Killzone 2. Detailing is not as good though. But I would say it's a better single player game just WAY too short.

But better graphics, Uncharted 2 blows it out the water, get on top of a high rooftop and take a look about :)

Yeah, all those stunning low-res 2D cut-outs :p

Hmmmmm think I only really saw one moment of that which was the rooftop section of the museum when you looked out when standing on a air duct.

The rest look pretty good

Aye, it does lose the appeal very quickly. This game has to be the most random, the most luck based piece of casual-crap in a very long time! Yes, it may be harsh words but that's how I feel. There's way too much focus on having the right setup for the right situation at the right time - Back in the day where the player's skills, reaction times and knowledge of the maps that gave you the advantage, meaning lots of training would get you ahead - Now the game is 100% focused on having the right class, perk or attachment at the right time, even the most blind and useless player in the world can suddenly get a great round because he created the right class and got a lucky killstreak.

It was bearable in Call of Duty 4, because it felt like a great first person shooter underneath with some variation sprinkled on top on the shape of perks. Now the game has been smothered in this game, one perk / Attachment more game changing than the other. So yes, it's fun for a week or two but the hype about games like Counter-strike was the sense, the game rewarded you for being good - MW2 rewards you for lucky choices, nothing else! So you don't think "I'm gonna boot up MW2 and have a night of fun", you think "Should I? Because it's either going to frustrate the hell out of me or give me a great experience" and personally, I don't want to make that choice when starting up a game.

Plus with all this host advantage and stuff going around, even being able to aim properly is out the window ... And the consoles have that casual-tard minded aim-assist, so even the retarded kid next door can get a kill.

So when the fun in trying out perks, weapons and attachments have been exhausted, the core of the game has nothing more to offer because it's being killed by the aforementioned.

Thank God for that, pardon the expression, and I thought it was me... I agree there was more interaction in the first COD MW and it did feel like a proper FPS although the game is excellent and MP is pretty darn good but you do get a little bored with Single Player, which is the reason why I have bought a couple of games and will come back to it in a couple of weeks or even 2010. I do like the blurred vision when you are looking down the sights which is realist and accurate. Apart from that I would give it 10/10 but you do get bored after a couple of hours playing the game.

Meh sack rooftops, the scene near the end when you first enter Shambala, is effing nuts. That's what you call draw distance.

Here goes my multiplayer gripe... Sorry in advance. :)

It literally frustrates me to no end that this game allows you to use two shotguns, never mind them being ultra affective.

I rarely die by someone shooting me in a gun battle, but I can't tell you how many times I've been shot in the back by some kid flanking me, then to re-spawn and immediately die again. I just feel like the skill is gone from this game. I loved Modern Warfare, and in all honesty I'm not bashing this game because I don't feel like it lives up to the standards of MW1, I just feel like MW1 had a much stronger multiplayer. I think these are legitimate gripes. The maps in the original had flow, most of them forced head on encounters with the opposing team, whereas MW2 is just so random. The recoil on the guns are gone, you can hold the trigger down and shoot lasers.

Let's just take a quick look at what I think is the most ridiculous thing about this game. Marathon Pro, Lightweight Pro, Ninja Pro, Two Model 1887's, and a primary weapon with a heartbeat sensor. I play with some kid that uses this and it is completely over powered. The class balance in this game fails, hard. Just seeing someone with two shotguns running around the map destroying kids, even if they are on my team, is frustrating. You need no reaction time, no aim, and really, no skill. Don't get me started on riot shields.

The positive aspect of this game, however, is that competitively it is fun. Playing MLG (Gamebattles) on Hardcore S&D is great, and I think the maps are set up better for that rather than Team Deathmatch.

It might be just me, but casual play in this game is more frustrating than enjoyable.

Anyway, my rant is over with. I would love to hear other people's opinions whether you agree or disagree with my post.

Whats your problem with riot shields? Just stick some semtex on them or shoot his feet off and job done.

I usually have regular frag grenades equipped, but thank you for the tip. My problem with the shield is that someone can crouch walk up to you, and slam you two times to your death if you don't have semtex. You're literally helpless unless you can time a frag to roll behind them and blow up. It just kinda boils down to the skill factor for me. In my opinion it really doesn't take a lot of skill to use a riot shield, but the reward is great. Just like the duel shotguns.

If you start cheating and glitching for your trophies, you are pathetic - No offence.

Well depending if I find some love for the MP I may end up keeping it. There are about 5-6 guys in work that keep telling me to give it more time. Just didn't find it that enjoyable though.

As for the trophies, yeah I guess you are right there.

Really? Do trophies mean that much to you?

They don't mean jack **** to me but whoever does it lose any sort of integrity, can't possibly boast about his trophies on the forums either if the person did something like that - I'm against any form of cheating and glitching whether it be in games, to boost scores, get rewards or whatever.

Then you need to loosen up a bit.

And before you say anything, no, I have not done that glitch. I don't even own the game (only rented it to play online, it sucked, and I returned it).

I have a solid group of friends I play with online and it's a blast. Are you guys that are getting bored with it playing solo or what?

I could never get bored playing solo.

And before anyone gives me **** about posting the glitch, I don't own the game, never played it, never plan to.

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.

      Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
