@fourzerotwo: #MW2 Xbox 360 update: Latest patch just passed certification. They just need to push it live. Goodbye Javelin glitchers!

Where the fuck was this speedy certification when 'Splosion Man needed an update?
MODERNWARFARETITLE.png

Hello and welcome to the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 thread! While posting here and playing with other people remember:

a) Have fun.
b) Don’t be a dick, even if doing so accomplishes a) for you.


Ground Rules

I've PM'd Echo about these, since I don't want to come off sounding like I think I have Mod-like powers, but I'll post them in this spoiler and let you guys decide whether they sound reasonable.
Due to previous controversy, I’m setting out some rules to ensure that we all have a good time here.

-No ‘LOL Treyarch’ posts: I don’t care if your cat was run over by a Treyarch employee, this is the MW2 thread, stay on topic.

-No PC vs console arguments: We’re all here to enjoy Modern Warfare 2, so play nice, and don’t perpetuate this stereotype of internet forums.

-Keep ethical debate civil: Discussing the inner workings of a game is what these threads are all about, but once again, play nice.

On Dedicated Servers, etc: This argument appears to have died down, and while any thread on even the most AAA of games is going to have people bring up (often legitamate) gripes (like Killer Croc in Batman:AA, or No Fighting in the War Room in this thread), I would like to think that the people who have been turned off from MW2 (your call and I respect your decision) have said their piece and can leave this thread to the people who are excited about this game.

-Remember your spoiler tags!


Work-around to lack of Party Chat by Sivraj:

But for anyone trying to play multiplayer with their friends, here's an alternative to party chat:

http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2009/11/09/alternative-to-party-chat-in-call-of-duty-modern-warfare-2/

From the site:
Step One: Go to Xbox.com and log in to your account
Step Two: From your profile page, click on Privacy Settings (it's just to the right of your avatar)
Step Three: The top option should say Voice and Text. Set it to Friends Only. Save.

Now whenever you play "Modern Warfare 2" multiplayer you'll only hear people you are friends with.

Basically, you set your "Voice and Text" option to Friends Only. BAM, problem solved :D. I'm not sure if you can do it from your console though. The website only explains how to do it through Xbox.com.

Multiplayer Facts
Link
Friday, 13 November 2009
Modern Warfare 2The handling of weapons has changed significantly, they have been moved to one of the game's "fastfiles", encrypted.

My ability is not enough to crack them, though others have fared better.

At least the multiplayer weapons still operate very much like their COD4 predecessors.
Weapon damage in increments of ten. Damage loss after a distance depending on the weapon type.

Testing from other sources has confirmed the use of a damage of "35" for weapons.
The intent for this is likely to make Stopping Power less "powerful".
For example, the FAL may deliver 50-35 damage. Because of this, Stopping Power's benefit is not prevalent - 50 is already two shots and 35 is three, Power bringing it up to 49 damage will still require three shots. It does appear to have at least a 1.5x headshot multiplier, similar to the M14, allowing a one headshot kill up close with Stopping Power.

Sniper rifles use the 70 damage with varying 1.5 and 1.1 multipliers.

The silencer appears to have a negative effect to sniper rifles, LMGs and possibly other weapons that do not lose damage over distance.
Also shotgun range is decreased by silencers.

Details on things that are not guns, of what was able to be ripped out of the fastfiles (so far) thanks to gagarin.

Sentry Gun has 1000 points of health.
Explosives deliver 7x their damage against a Sentry.
A Melee attack will instantly disable the Sentry.
The Sentry has the potential to fire continuously for eight seconds.
It recovers fully in four. If it "overheats", it will take eight seconds.

The UAV has 700 health and hangs around for thirty seconds.

Both Helicopters and the Pavelow have 1500 health.
The AI controlled Helicopters use three of the four same old Threat Factors.
Class Threat has been removed, presumably due to the Secondary Weapon diversity.

The Harrier has 3000 health.
Luckily, lots of things will instantly kill it (or at least really hurt it (and all other aircraft).
A Stinger, Javelin and other killstreaks (like the remote missile and AC130 guns) will instantly destroy it.
The RPG7 and AT4 will do whatever damage they do AND an extra 900 points of damage.

The AC-130 apparently only has 1000 health.
This is probably offset by the fact that it has two flare countermeasures and is way up in the air.
It lasts 40 seconds. All three guns are all available. They have a reload time of:
25mm = 1.5
40mm = 3.0
105mm = 5.0

The Care Package and Emergency Airdrop have a chance of dropping anything (except nukes).
Care Package has a much higher probability of dropping other low-Streak hardpoints, while the Emergency Airdrop evens up the chances for nearly anything up to the EMP.

On perks and a few other things:

The wait time between bursts for the FAMAS and M16 is still 0.2 seconds.

Stopping Power is still 1.4x against players.
Stopping Power Pro increases its damage against vehicles by 1.65x.

Danger Close is a bit stronger than it's predecessor, 1.4x increase in damage (rather than 1.25).

Blast Shield equipment cuts damage down to 0.45x (or 0.65?), ensuring almost always surviving anything.
Blast Shield and Danger Close will cancel each other out.
Semtex stuck to the player will ignore Blast Shield.

Commando adds 176 units of measurement to its 64 inch melee strike.
Commando Pro does indeed cut off all damage for any fall... and it appears that a lethal fall will make the player do a barrel roll instead.

Rapid Fire attachment has the same effect as Double Tap, multiplying time between shots by 0.75x (other way around, Rate of fire by 1.33x)
FMJ (Full Metal Jacket) attachment has the same effect as Deep Impact, greatly improving penetration through walls and objects.

Painkiller adds 200 health to the player. If the player suffers at least 101 points of damage while Painkiller is active... he gets a reward. Throwing knives and melee attacks will still kill in one hit.

One Man Army allows the player to change his class on the fly in 6 seconds.
One Many Army Pro cuts that down to 3. It takes the place of the secondary weapon and can not be dropped.

Sleight of Hand still cuts reload time in half. Pro halves both sighting in and out.

Lightweight will multiply movement speed by 1.1x (I dunno, that's what it reads)
Lightweight Pro will multiply the delay between sprinting and being able to attack by 0.6x.

Ninja Pro and SitRep Pro will multiply Player footstep sound by 0.25x and enemy footsteps by 4x respectively.

The problem shotgun hitscans had with cars is dealt with, damage dealt to destructibles like barrels and cars are multiplied by four.
Cars and barrels have the same health and "on fire" health drain as they do in COD4.

Awesome video time! I know I've missed some, but they can always be added later.

What about weapons, perks, etc?

Neogaf's thread is alright for some other info and pretty pictures.


I want to play with people on this forum!

(X360) Friends List for that console which overheats a lot:

We've got a CoD Clan Meta-Tag run by Burtletoy: A PA CoD Clan

A PA CoD Clan is now full! Hit me up on PA MW2
From here, you can view other people on the tag and invite them to your game. I may do the same if the group I join needs more people, but sometimes I just want to pub-stomp, so don't be offended if I ignore you. Also, send the invite to the clan tag. Everybody sending one invite is far more convenient then me sending every invite.

There's also PA CoD4, which is an older account with a lot of names on it, I think it was being run by I King Kong I. It probably isn't being maintained anymore, FYI.

(PS3) Friends List for that console which people seem to laugh out loud about for some reason:
PA Handle - PS3 Name

Gihgehls as Hellphish
Debaserzbs as FancyLad
Jokerman as Jokermein
Fourier_series as Fourier_series
Algertman as AlbertBOMB

    Contrary to popular belief, usage of Javelins != Glitching.
    It's more fun to use Stingers anyway.

    But bans for that are stupid. It's not like it's actually an effective way to do anything. I've seen people at best break even or go slightly positive.

    Of course, the Desert Eagle is featured somewhat unrealistically in the series, perhaps as an appeal to brodudes. No army would actually arm their troops with that thing :P

    I was actually really glad to see the Barrett reduced to a starting weapon, almost guaranteeing pubbies won't use it. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

    So for some reason I think FMJ may do to the EBR what the silencer is supposed to do (make damage slightly drop off over range like ARs do).

    I have it equipped so I can maybe get enough penetration kills to get mastery with it and on long range shots on Wasteland and Afghan I was having to do followup shots on headhots. D:

    I'll have to test it out some more but if I'm right fffffuck.

    Every thread has had "look at me I'm sooooooooo terrible with my .7 k/d" or whatever and no matter what proof they have I check my stats and mine are comparably worse. But yet I consider myself pretty good at the game. Not so good with the aiming/killing.

    You misunderstand: I use the Javelin normally with Danger Close. The glitch logic works for all launchers, and I find Stinger kills highly amusing. It's certainly glitching (though the effectiveness is certainly debatable), and I'm glad to hear it's being worked on, but I'm too amused by it to consider it gamebreaking.

    That was a joke about the desert Eagle right? Or does Israel no longer use that and finally decided to go with the actually practical Jerichos?

    EDIT: and what exactly is glitched about launchers?

    you can set it up so the launcher explodes on you upon death.
    equip launcher
    hold semtex button
    equip launcher while still holding out semtex
    die without climbing anything or changing equipment or aiming

    Just so I'm comprehending you. You don't think the Javelin trick is glitching?

    You misunderstand: I use the Javelin normally with Danger Close. The glitch logic works for all launchers, and I find Stinger kills highly amusing. It's certainly glitching (though the effectiveness is certainly debatable), and I'm glad to hear it's being worked on, but I'm too amused by it to consider it gamebreaking.

    I do enjoying pulling the Stinger slighty away from the target. Then getting lucky enough to watch it miss and circle back around.

    IW feels otherwise... they've said they would like to see people suspended for using the glitch as they work on the fix...

    Against my better judgment, I'm going to use the Desert Eagle again.

    Oh dear god the recoil.

    Desert eagle doesn't really have a place anymore . The .44 is exactly like the old DE (unless im crazy) and the new version is just ...bad.

    Of course, the Desert Eagle is featured somewhat unrealistically in the series, perhaps as an appeal to brodudes. No army would actually arm their troops with that thing :P

    I was actually really glad to see the Barrett reduced to a starting weapon, almost guaranteeing pubbies won't use it. Oh how the mighty have fallen.

    You can do a trick where you swap from a grenade to a launcher.

    Then you run around and try to get close to someone.

    When they kill you, you explode automatically.

    Assholes have been running around doing this with danger close which effectively kills everyone within 20-30ft upon their death.

    It's making it basically impossible to cap some of the points in Domination if a dick is persistant enough with it.

    I'm talking about killing people with it. I've actually pulled a few accidental infantry kills with it, though.

    To IW's end, mayhap they should have tested more? This really does seem like the kind of thing one could discover accidentally in a normal game. Hell, I'm sure some people have done it accidentally.

    Let's also put in DE_Dust and CS_Assault. CS_Estate would be good too if only the name didn't conflict.

    Sev: Your gameplay is the most heavily yomi based around. Usually you look for characters that allow you to force guessing situations for big dmg. Even if the guess is mathematically nowhere near in your favor lol. You're happiest when you have either a 50/50, 33/33/33 or even a 75/25 situation to go crazy with. And you will take big risks to force those situations to come up.

    Playing Rust with Knives and Javelins only is awesome.
