A lot of the original team from Infinity Ward that made MW1 and prior CoD games awesome, left the company. When the original CoD crew from IF was there, their games were always better than Treyarch's.

I thought a lot of the original team from IW that made MW1 also made MW2

MP on PC seems to be a little broken. Played a few rounds and even on servers where everyone has good pings (50 - 70) a lot of people, myself included, notice a sort of lag when shooting at people, almost a jittery lag like the games dropping to 15/20FPS. But mouse responsiveness and movement seem fine when running around. Going to scan the steam forums and see whats up.

It is not to do with PC specs or server configuration there would appear to be a bug in the game that is causing graphical lag spikes to a specific people. The developers have been made aware of this bug and they are looking into it.

I don't know. I'm not sure on the timeline of when MW2 was developed and when the employees left the company. You could be right. I'll have to do some digging.

Damn the campaign doesn't have coop like WaW? I was hoping to finish it with buddies.

I was a little disapointed too, I have a friend that I do all the co-op games with, hopefully the next CoD will have a proper co-op campaign mode, WaWs was very lacking imo compared to say the Halo and Gears easy way of doing things.

Initial thoughts: WHY DOES MY GUY FEEL LIKE HE WEIGHTS 700LBS, FFS?

Got used to it though.

Storyline is much clearer than MW2, the voice acting is good and the facial expressions are amazing especially on Reznov. The campaign feels like a weird mix of COD4 and WAW. I think I like it but only time will tell.

Also, SPAS-12 with incendiary ammo is the great gun I've used for a while in an FPS game.

I don't want hockey, nor really care for it. I'm more of a Football fan :p

But I see what you're saying.

    • JetBrains launches Rider 2026.2 EAP 5, bringing several AI improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      JetBrains launches Rider 2026.2 EAP 5, bringing several AI improvements by David Uzondu JetBrains has released the fifth EAP version of Rider 2026.2, bringing a faster startup flow with the new non-modal startup screen and quality-check hooks for Claude Code and Codex. In the latest EAP release, Rider now has newly bundled "quality-check" hooks that run background tests on code edits before the external agent proceeds. For example, after Claude Code rewrites a class, Rider immediately triggers a PostToolUse hook that analyzes the code for syntax errors and formatting warnings. It then passes those findings back to the model as feedback, allowing the agent to fix its own output before finalizing the task. If Rider detects compilation errors, the IDE prevents the agent from treating the task as complete, while minor formatting warnings simply help guide the model toward better output. The "Explain with AI" feature can now tackle tricky build errors directly from the console, helping .NET developers who frequently wrestle with multi-targeting failures and MSBuild errors. JetBrains introduced Explain with AI back in the 2024.1 release cycle. With this feature, instead of forcing developers to copy long diagnostics into a separate chat window, Rider now lets you trigger these explanations directly from the error source. In similar EAP news, JetBrains recently opened the first EAP for IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2, with features that appeal to both those who are into AI-assisted coding and those who prefer "classic" manual development. For manual developers, the release adds revamped dependency completion for Maven and Gradle build scripts, which pulls data directly from the local cache to suggest relevant versions. It also brings the Spring Debugger update, displaying security indicators next to endpoints to visualize secured routes during runtime. In addition to database migration tools for Flyway and Liquibase, this build introduces a Hibernate debugger that shows the exact SQL or HQL queries that the framework plans to execute, letting developers jump directly to the Java code that triggered them.

      I have updated my Series 9 Watch so I assume there is either a mistake in what was said, or as suggested - the new AI feature set isn’t supported on anything other than those listed above.
