Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 IOTI Keep Your Friends Close And Your Danger Closer

The Lockwood fucks. So many attachments give it even more range than it should have. I’m curious if the pump & semi-auto are good.
Exactly. Wasn't too fond of the other shotties. The only drawbacks are reload, of course, and the time it takes to fire the second chamber. Tho I must say it's not as OP as in MW19. Can't say the same about the Fennec. That one is ridiculously good even on mid distance. I almost feel like a cheater.
 
Every decade or so a COD game comes out and I prefer a semi auto like a m16. After testing today, this is that year.

Also getting the vault edition with the Cinder attachments is quite overpowered

M16 is so underrated especially when the TTK is borderline hardcore mode right now, people just melt hitting them with the burst

Don’t feel like a cheater even the default MP7 (not called that ingame) is op. Some of the attachments literally increase your movement speed LOL

This game is just another MW2 where everything is op. Just not the killstreaks.

For Ground War maps sure that would be awesome. I wouldn’t want destruction in my 6v6 arcadey maps tho. Those are for runnin and gunnin.
I don't know. I thought it worked well in BF4. It was still pretty run n gun heavy in game modes like TDM.

Man Im playing on PC and I get a crash to desktop with the error report box at least hourly... maybe every 30 to 45 minutes.

This exact same thing was happening in the Beta and I wrote it off as just a bug.

Now its still happening on release... im playing in a party with Friends who are on Xbox and Im on PC if that matters.

Anyone else having this issue?? So frustrating... its almost making the game unplayable it happens so often. I cant even get through more than 1 or 2 full matches.

Ive done the "run as administrator" and "driver updates" song and dance already, no luck.
I have had no crashes. I have read that others playing across platform have had those issues. I have only played with others on pc.

How do we not get a calling card or title or some shit like that for calling in a nuke (which is pretty easy actually in Invasion)?

Its just not that kind of game imo even Ground War since cod4 had always been a novelty. Battlefield (is supposed to) do it better, but that series is goin through a rough patch right now.

Currently a shit show. Texture flickering and other oddities, and crashing when I start messing around with loadouts.

I wanna play it, but will wait until it's patched up a bit. It's too aggravating at the moment.

Data Mining suggests otherwise, but ya never know. Files were found outlining zombies mode for MW2... i'll be super stoked if we DO get it and it's actually good.

I really hope so too. This is the first CoD I've bought in years. On 360 BO 1 was the last one for us. With Xbox One we only got AW and skipped all others. I missed out on all those zombie maps.

So these are the core maps, but I still haven't had all of them in team DM. It seems it's random, and not like it's selecting maps in one particular order.

– Zarqua Hydroelectric
– Crown Raceway
– Breenbergh Hotel
– Farm 18
– Santa Seña
– Mercado Las Almas
– El Asilo
– Taraq
– Embassy

For me it seems they have the maps weighted or something as I get Zarqua and Farm 18 a lot and think I have seen the Raceway once
 
Why do people keep jumping around like crazy? I'm starting to see a ton of people running around the map getting into gun fights and just jumping repeatedly

Harder to hit. It's weird but I've tried it after seeing people do it and Ive actually died less. Same concept as laying down when you got nowhere to run

For me it's the exact opposite. I get a lot of Raceway and less of the other two. East Coast vs West Coast mapping I guess. I wish whatever algorithm they're using was smart enough to even this out.

i started getting the museum and hotel maps more yesterday but i only got them in headquarters and hard point game modes, i think i got hotel in a search and destroy match too.
i really dislike that santa sena border crossing map..

Anybody else on ps5 occasionally get booted after a multiplayer match ends and get the whole “PlayStation error” screen where you can report the error to Sony?

Happens a few times per night.

Hmmm, I see. I wish it would just be selected in a particular order, then we'd see them all. Ah well, I'm sure eventually we'll get to have played them all.

Also, why is the progression screen (after finishing a match) so different for people in your party except for the host? I was the host yesterday and I got all the normal progression bars and items.

is there a way i can upgrade to vault edition? and for those that got it are the blueprints for guns any good or not worth the extra?

Lol thunder ⚡ says the maps are absolute trash, and the game bricked his ps5. Crazy

I actually digna lot of the maps.. and I rarely see any effective camping going on so that alone is cause for celebration.

Also I hate quick scoping in this game haha I can't do it myself but watch people that do and they don't even have to really freaking aim ugh.

And then there is some lever action rifle that seems op, watching a lot of people quickly one shot or head shot with it. Doesn't seem as obnoxious as some of the snipers though

I haven't bought CoD in forever so maybe this is old news, but why do I not see my progression after a match, unless I am the host? Why did they change this?

There is an option to pay the extra in the store.

The cinder vault basically gives you most of the attachments except ones you get from levelling other guns in the m4 class so m4, m16, hurricane, 556 icarus. Is it good, yes very good. Is it fair no I don't think so and it takes away from the levelling fun for those guns.

I need all the help I can get as I suck at this game compared to the last versions for some reason, and I don't know why.

I can't deal with the stuttering on PC, even if it only happens a handful of times a match. I am out till they get that fixed

Dont know if you can upgrade now or not and the BPs are decent but in a couple of matches of Invasion you can unlock every attachment on a gun anyhow.

It’s a shitty thing streamers do that I guess everyone has adopted, makes a chance you’ll shoot people in the feet instead of head.

It’s ok. The inevitable fatigue is setting in.

It feels, more than any other CoD in memory, that this game is designed to maintain an almost exact 1.0 k/d and win ratio.

i’ve been doing that but i see so many people doing it now in matches that even the opposite team camp those bot sites now :messenger_grinning_smiling: just wasn’t sure if the blueprints gave things you can’t unlock normally

Thats how I felt in the beta. But this release? I feel like I have won 80% of my matches, maybe even closer to 90%. Will post my W/L ratio when they let us see it.

Game is called "Modern Warfare" for a reason
It’s in modern warfare. This is modern warfare 2 we are talking about.

While I'm enjoying MW2 quite a bit, the number of crashes I've had on PC is insane, lmao. I had like 4-5 yesterday alone when I played.

Definitely has some oddities here and there though. Haven't checked out all the modes, but would like to. Got stuck on Ground War yesterday because it was kinda scratching that Battlefield itch that feels like it hasn't been scratched in forever. :(

Also, I agree the footsteps are WAY too quiet/practically nonexistent. I know folks complained about them being too loud on the beta, but now it's like everyone is a ninja, lol.

Sucks to hear all the crashes and glitches PC are having, i haven't had a single one so far on Series X *knock on wood*

What is the cinder vault thing people keep mentioning?

I have the vault edition and do see the vault edition version of the characters, but don't see any special armory things anywhere in the gunsmith screen etc??

Speaking of which i watched the Twitch stream for rewards and was supposed to get a sniper rifle blueprint but i don't see it in the game to use... I see the emblem stickers calling card etc but not the weapon blueprint?
