Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

[Matt07]

Fuel is too big for most game modes I find, except for Ground War only because you have more players.

I probably won't play this game too much until it gets patched, just because it's quite difficult to find an 'unhacked' match. I'm glad they realized what was happening, and are fixing it.

 

[Master Xanthan]

I played a few matches yesterday to see how the game is after all this time, ground war is terrible, there's like 5 explosions every 5 seconds(sad thing is this isn't much of an exaggeration). But I did play a game of team deathmatch and it wasn't that bad really. Ground war being terrible isn't much of a surprise frankly that gametype was always chaotic even in Black Ops(though there weren't nearly as many noob tubes).

 

[F8AL]

They would've given us original maps, not **** like Strike which has a goddamn awful map design to begin with.

wut.

I didn't buy the second map pack

I didn't buy either of the map packs. Didn't feel like getting ripped off. Love it how $15 is the new standard for CoD map packs. MW2 was just an experiment to see if consumers will pay outrageous prices for map packs.

And you know what? It worked. Good job guys.

Never liked ground war. Noob tube haven and lags like ****.

Can't you guys on 360 pack share and stuff? That's what I did to get all the map packs, I sure as hell wasn't paying $15 for them.

No, you can thank DRM for that. When you purchase DLC (i.e. map packs, gamer pics etc.) it's tied to your gamertag and the 360 console where the content was originally downloaded/purchased from. If you recover your GT on a friends 360 and download the map packs, they'll work ONLY if you stay logged in on his console. Once you recover it back on your console, it won't work anymore on his.

Microsoft will ban you for sharing DLC. They're not cool with it like Sony is..

Wonder if they'll ever bundle both of the map packs together for a reasonable (*chuckles*) price.

And I doubt there will be any future MW2 map packs with Black Ops being out and Infinity Ward in ruins at the moment with legal problems.

 

[Master Xanthan]

yeah the 1200 microsoft points tag on the map packs is pretty annoying. Though the price tag is somewhat reasonable for Black Ops. 5 NEW maps and 1 NEW Zombies map. MW2 you get 3 new maps and 2 old. Still, I'll probably just wait for a price cut on the map pack.

Do you think Treyarch will require all players to download the map pack? Cause IIRC, in WaW, you couldn't really play online without being kicked because you didn't have the map packs. They never fixed that problem...I don't see why game companies do this. Just create a separate playlist for DLC.

A price cut will happen. Probably a "deal of the day/week" promotion on all platforms at some point in the future.

If that happens, I guess I'll just play either Cod4 or MW2 then, that is if I can get Cod4 back from my friend that borrowed it a while ago, he doesn't really play I just haven't gotten around to asking for it back.

Report: Infinity Ward co-developing Modern Warfare 3 with Sledgehammer Games, Raven Software

http://www.joystiq.com/2011/01/20/report-infinity-ward-co-developing-modern-warfare-3-with-sledge/
http://kotaku.com/5739152/report-modern-warfare-3-coming-in-november-spin+off-delayed-to-get-it-done

both Sledgehammer Games and Raven Software have been tasked with helping develop the next, still unannounced Modern Warfare title, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

"People familiar with the situation" claim that Sledgehammer is working with the remaining staff at Infinity Ward on developing the game's single player campaign, while Singularity developer Raven Software is in charge of bringing up the multiplayer side of things. The sources also contend that, like past Call of Duty titles, MW3 is expected to ship this November. Additionally, Sledgehammer is said to have halted production on its own spinoff Call of Duty title in order to help IW out.

 

[Master Xanthan]

Co-developing huh? Sounds like Activision wants to keep Infinity Ward under supervision so they don't screw this one up lol. Actually I still find MW2 to be good, its just that the banhammer has not been present enough for this game. This is probably why Raven Software is working on the multiplayer.

I don't like the whole idea of co-developing. That's how the new Medal of Honor was made and that game didn't do that well.

And it's rumoured that the 1st MW2 map pack was delayed to help out BF:BC2.

http://kotaku.com/5738885/did-the-c...-delay-a-map-pack-to-help-out-the-competition

 

[Master Xanthan]

I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Even if Modern Warefare 3 sucks, I'm still happy with playing WaW, Cod4, MW2, and BO for the time being, I haven't put enough time into the 4 games honestly, but that's the problem with yearly releases. Also, if they really delayed the first map pack to help out the competition, well....the guy deserves to get fired. No wonder they are co-developing the game, Activision probably doesn't trust Infinity Ward anymore, which is completely understandable.

 

[MK26]

so i was online last night and got into looby with someone i didnt know was a hacker...he aimbotted and killed everyone on our team instantly, prevented us from pressing start to leave the game, and wiped all of our stats, emblems, callsigns, challenge progress (and i just got lightweight pro too ), kills, deaths, accuracy rating (but not my 800 assists :D) and gun attachments (but im still using the default classes so it doesnt bother me all that much), and, just to add insult to injury, changed all of our clan tags to a very nasty c-word that shall not be repeated in its entirety here. In caps.

I sad.

 

[Fuelbi]

Wow talk about some hardcore hacking.

It's **** like that that makes me not want to play the game.

Did he bring you back to level 1 too or what?

You didn't want to play the game anymore anyways, so what's the point?

We all know you hate this game with a burning passion.

Some hackers can de-rank you to level 1 if you ask/if they want.

 

[MK26]

no, im so glad he didnt touch my exp

i woulda flipped

UPDATE!

http://twitter.com/InfinityWard/status/29693816256593923

Update on the PS3 situation for Modern Warfare 2 can be found here: http://fzt.me/PS3security We're taking it seriously & making progress.

http://www.infinityward.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=371760

Update: I just left a security meeting with the coders here at Infinity Ward where we discussed a lot of solutions. I feel good about the meeting, but of course I can't go into detail on the possible solutions we discussed as we don't want to give out any information that could potentially hinder the security any further.

Once I have more information, I will post it here.

The key factor I want you to know is, that while any update takes time, we are looking to make the process as quick as possible and nothing is being left unattended.

Our main focus right now is on:

1) Preventing hackers from affecting legitimate players.
2) Addressing users who have already been affected.

 

[F8AL]

Another update:

http://www.infinityward.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=371760

Update 2:

Sony has updated their official blog regarding a security update coming to the PS3. You can find their original post below:

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/01/26/ps3-system-software-update-v3-56/

This is an official Sony update, not the one we are creating, which I mentioned earlier. However, I want to make it clear we will still be doing our own updates for Modern Warfare 2 for additional security updates that are specific to our game. I would also like to note that we plan to duplicate this update on other applicable platforms as well.

Glad to see that they're actually trying to fix these problems instead of ignoring them.

EDIT 2:

http://twitter.com/fourzerotwo/status/30859802351509505

@CFlat We have a patch in the works now. Still needs to be finished and tested before I call it a solution officially, but I'm confident.

Edit 3: The rock glitch on Fuel will be fixed soon!

http://twitter.com/fourzerotwo/status/31160194855600128

Yes, it's a title update to address security issues and a geo-exploit on Fuel.

 

[Sariku]

I've had a lot of games where I ended up doing poorly after doing well just because I can't stand sitting still for too long, lol. For example, I was playing TDM (MW2) on Crash yesterday, I had a 15-9 K/D going on until they got a pavelow out. The game doesn't like spawning me inside, so I try to get to the nearest building but I got shot down by the actual players on the other team, x]. I ended up 16-21. >_>;

Before anyone says this is the BO thread and not to talk about MW2, I don't feel like reviving that. I enjoy TDM on MW2 because I don't find hackers and I have the ability to snipe, and I play SnD on Black Ops.

Just. Saying.

 

[Wretched]

I'm getting this game.
Thoughts on how to start off well? Also, how is the game on Xbox? I've heard bad things about PS3 hackers

 

[xLeafybug =D]

Congratulations, it took them almost nine ****ing months to patch the rock on Fuel. Wow, so quick with your response time, IW.

And no, there is nothing wrong with MW2 on the PS3. There are no hackers at all, and everything about it is just super-happy fun ti-oh wait.

Don't get this game.

The default classes are pretty good so use them until you unlock the option to set up custom classes. This game is still good on the Xbox, it's barely playable on the PS3 due to the hackers.

 

[Master Xanthan]

Leafy was being sarcastic when he said people weren't hacking the PS3

 

[Wretched]

This game is better than Black Ops.

 

[xLeafybug =D]

This game is better than Black Ops.

You must be on crack. I was about to go off in detail about everything that's wrong with what you just said, but I'm going to stop myself before I even start.

 

[Delta-cod]

This game is better than Black Ops.

I looked for some sort of hidden "j/k" tag, but found none.

I am disappoint.

 

[Player-1]

Even though this game isn't as good as black ops, I definitely had more fun in this game with riot shields/javelins/c4s and stuff, search in black ops isn't that great, but in MW2 it was great. The maps in black ops just aren't built for search =/

I will admit this is probably true and the fact that the Thermal Scope kinda sucks in BO with everybody and their mothers running around with Ghost on makes me a bit sad since that was my favorite sniper attachment of all time.

 

[Fletch]

I still think MW2>BO any day of the week, but I only play BO for zombies. I miss good sniper rifles.

 

[F8AL]

I still find MW2 to be more fun then Black Ops.

Like, I always get pumped up when I get an AC-130, while in Black Ops, people with ghost and strellas just shoot down your chopper gunners and gunships in 10 seconds.

Both games are good though.

Those Black Ops players. Always taking down that air support.

That's why I run the Blackbird! ;D

I love sniping and I'm new to quickscoping.
I can does it against bad players.

 

[F8AL]

Good news everyone!

The patch is done and is currently in QA. (Quality assurance.)

http://www.infinityward.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=373630

The latest patch for Modern Warfare 2 has finished production and is now going through internal quality assurance. This new title update will address security issues that have affected online play.

We plan to release this update for all platforms (Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC). No release date is set at this time. Once an ETA is established, it will be posted here.

Expect it soon!

 

[Matt07]

Yeahyuzz .

 

[F8AL]

MW2 has been added to GoD (Games on Demand) on the 360 for $60... =/ (http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/P...#LiveZone&cid=majornelson&partner=majornelson)

And there won't be any additional map packs for this game as confirmed by Fourzerotwo.

http://twitter.com/fourzerotwo/status/37603634619351040

That would be awesome, but we have no plans for additional maps for MW2.

http://twitter.com/fourzerotwo/status/37595019355492352

No, we have no additional DLC planned for #MW2

 

[Wretched]

I would just like to say that I got MW1 and 2, brand new, not on sale, for $40. It was in a combo pack at GAMESTOP
GameStop is ridiculous with prices.
$60 is ridiculous.
Go find the combo pack if you have to.

 

[:mad:]

Did somebody say P1 Combo?!?!
