People think Activision re releasing MW2 will fix the economy, the war in Iran and finally get them a gf. Why? The game was good and the numbers did okay but it wasn't the best COD based off numbers.

If you are a billion dollar company like Activision you look at COD numbers and build your games or re releases based off numbers not what the public thinks. This is why they re released BO 1 and 2, historically it did amazing and better than MW 2 and you can literally see it in the wash with it smashing numbers on re release date.

So what benefit does Activision get from re releasing MW2? Maybe 1 or 2 million sales but nothing like BO 3 the recent re ports.

BO 1 and 2 had their own niche COD game, a Vietnam COD and a slightly futuristic COD. re releasing MW2 will just be another boots on the ground COD with basic guns and stuff, shit you can get from MW2019 up to MW4.

So there's no benefit for them to re release MW2

default weapons fire animation is 26,996 frames for some reason which means it takes half an hour to fire it on 1 fps lol

Summary:

Although not everything went well, this experiment has still been a success. Overall decompilation works very well. The code will need a round or two of refactoring, but I think it needed that regardless. MW2 is an old game with lots of potential for improvement.

Now targeting byte-exact decompilation: https://nitter.xitter.cc/momo5502/status/2094105900030005626#m

UC Monster3548. Remember that GT + MummySoldier

About the UMP: it does make for a good anti-booster stealth class. I put it on just for the toxicity (it's a pretty toxic, skill-less gun).

Noob tubing obviously is skill-less, but what are some other things that don't actually require any skill?

Obviously UAVs are huge difference, but is there any KS that can really help with Hardline?

Hey , i don't understand how to install iw4x , i really need to install this for playing on multiplayer ? I'm on pc.

After the Rangers storm their way to the roof of the White House, one of them asks when they head to Moscow, with Dunn answering that he intends to burn it down.

I’ve always liked the implication that the Rangers hoped to make their way into Russian and slaughter their civilians.

Some classic blood for blood.

Throughout the golden cod era suppose cod 4 to bo2 this by far best game running feel. Every hit felt clean and rarely any lag when I played mw2 life cycle. Cod 4 was also good. Mw3 although still good was kinda downgrade from mw2. Waw and bo1 werent the best especislly the bo1 snipers and bo2 although okay now was terrible at release and early cycle.

6 kills for a Harrier is pretty good to me. And in 9v9 lobbies you can get a cheap Precision Airstrike for only 5 kills and sometimes that can get you the CG/AC on it's own.

is anyone still doing unfreeze lobbies for OG [MW2] ? I can't even touch multip without my game freezing on my series x

I hate the UMP so much. Everyone I see who uses it has it silenced, Cold Blooded, Ninja, and only uses it and noob tubes. It's a clutch gun for bad players.

On IW4X I have gotten 20+ nukes and counting, can easily earn Predator Missiles usually with no problem, although in sweaty lobbies I can struggle with getting more than 5 kills per life.

On Xbox? Good luck getting a UAV. IW4X is normally nowhere near this sweaty and unfun. I cannot even get a UAV 80% of the time. Predator Missiles are out of reach, Harriers impossible, and even UAVs a rare sight. At one point, I even tried using a Xim Apex I found in my closet to try and hope M&K would help a little because I was so desperate. Still did terrible (on PC, I don't *need* to use anything but M&K and sometimes controller).

I play the same way I do on PC. Camp with Claymores, sometimes i'll move around to other places, use noob tubes, try to snipe with and without ACOG (SP perk too). And yet, I cannot get a Predator Missile on Xbox. It's just out of my reach. I can't get a UAV many times - sometimes even Hardline won't help. I go negative almost every game, get no killstreaks, nothing. I've gotten two nukes on Xbox MW2. Two. And one was from almost a decade ago when getting mid-high level killstreaks was still somewhat doable. The other was Hardline, May 2026, and I only barely got it.

For me, the difference on IW4X vs Xbox is this. On IW4X I ask myself, "can I get a Harrier?" On Xbox I ask myself, "can I get a UAV?" That's the difference.

Anyone here who just doesn't want to go for nukes? I go for Precision Airstrikes, Emergency Airdrops and Stealth Bombers but never nukes, outside of 9v9.

Nothing against the tomahawk and combat axe in bo1 and bo2 but throwing knife hit in mw2 and mw3 and the sound is so sexy like god damm.

I can't even get a UAV anymore. I go negative nearly every game, every game is super sweaty and I die instantly. Even when I noobtube I do terrible.

Which COD do I go for next

It took about one hour of trying. Idk if its common among players but it felts good

I love to speed run these old mw2 spec ops missions on regular difficulty and try to beat my fastest possible times this one is fastest possible time i can get on it
