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.

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By eiffel_g · Posted

      Funny, but I didn't had the issue. All PC's at work are Dell and we had the culprit version of Support Assist for about 2 weeks until we got the new one. No problem at all. And for checking you can also use Dell Command Update, no need to search in windows settings. Just check the Upgrade History.

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

      So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
