Thanks for all the kind messages and wishes all! ❤️

The home teams have been confirmed for this years London games 😊

Maybe they've realised that their un-needed changes were a bad thing and they've made some serious changes? Such as getting rid of the shit Perk system and giving us a traditional one again. That would be a good start. But then IW seem extremely stubborn and generally refuse to change anything even if there is a huge backlash from the community. We also need a load of new 6v6 maps. The amount we have now is pitiful. They need to give us 4/5 in season 2.

Rumours confirmed and it’ll drop on Feb 15th. Sounds like it’s panic stations with the sharp player decline this year and content creator revolt so they better issue some serious content instead of drip-fed crap plus some sweeping changes are needed with Warzone 2 because that is in a diabolical state. Activision confirms delay for MW2 & Warzone 2: Season 2 - Dexerto WWW.DEXERTO.COM Activision confirmed the rumors making their rounds, announcing a delay for Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2...

It does feel like a long time with the content. The game was released early this year. We had a pre season, then a current Season 1 that feels like eternity till it's done. It only had 2 weeks left till season 2, then I checked it the other day and it's 30 days. I've reached max rank and done the battle pass ages ago. Because of the season delays I reckon we will only get 5 seasons rather than the promised 6. It happened with Vanguard as well. Both "new" maps are old maps so far. Don't get me wrong I love a bit of Shipment and Shoothouse for my camo grinding. It's the same cycle as MW19. No new maps for ages and a small pool of launch maps, then they added Shoothouse and Shipment. Eventually they added Vacant and Crash. A couple of classic done to death Cod4 maps. Where is all the Terminals and High rises at? They are probably saving the big boy maps for the Premium content MW2 expansion part 2. Wallets at the ready. As people have said before, you get various bug/glitches within a game that don't get sorted for months. Whereas the shop stops working for 2hrs and it's fixed immediately without any hassle. Which Castle is this we are getting? Is it the "Castle" from Vanguard we got in the last offering less than 12 months ago? Aka Courtyard from World At War? I can barely contain myself due to the upcoming excitement of a fresh "new" map content. Although some of this post sounds salty, I'm not really. More sarcastic than anything. I've played all the recent Cods, I don't ever expect too much. The business model they are running is highly predictable and heavily marinated in a thick Sbmm sauce. Yes a gravy of disappointment and annoyance.

We used to get 4 maps every 3 months through the paid expansions and it helped keep the games fresh and people interested. Everyone is in the same boat when new maps release and it's more exciting to experience a wealth of new content in one go than it is difficult to adjust to the amount given. Everyone got into MW2 perfectly well in no time with several original maps and now they are used of the mechanics, learning new content is easy especially if its just rehashed crap. It would give the game a huge boost for the time being. As it stands, this game will still have less deathmatch content come July than what we got in MW2 of 2009. This game will likely have less content in year one than Vanguard had on day one at this rate. Even Gun Game and Gunfight are old modes and the latter actually detracts away from 6v6 content because it needs its own pool of maps to support the tiny playerbase that participate in it. A game like this really only needs a skeleton crew for post-launch support (25-75 employees) but because they've done such a terrible job with core content, they are back to working towards square one and as we see in every COD cycle, it detracts from future titles such as the inevitable MW3 sequel here. They don't even have the excuse that they are working on the new premium DLC this year either. 3 years is huge for COD and the original Black Ops was actually completed in around 14 months. They have 3000 staff available across IW, Raven, Treyarch, SHG and the external contractors which is an insane amount of resources to pull a package like this off even with 3 components. Infinity Ward themselves have access to over 400 full time employees and seeing that they were only responsible for the campaign and multiplayer, to give us less than 10 maps at launch in 3 years is an absolute embarrassment. Funny how none of their bundles or monetised content gets delayed or neglected. If we had paid map packs like we used to, there would be an incentive and obligation for the developers to deliver but without this, they don't need to bother. There is absolutely no defending them in this instance - this is a highly experienced studio of a very longstanding brand with a ludicrous amount of financial and personnel resources at hand yet not only have they failed to deliver a decent amount of content at launch, they've also failed to deliver a convincing future content plan and will instead be busy 'fixing' their game despite having years of experience and community feedback on record.

My tl;dr initially said it is disappointing to wait another 4 weeks to hear what's incoming so I think I'm slightly with you on the wait for new content. I've never seen the dev boast but if they did (i won't doubt you), that seems so strange to do so as its clearly not 3000 gameplay devs working on it. Roadmaps seem to be the thing that everyone wants but in games and everyday working environments, we seem to not be able to get them unfortunately. Usually my experience is that the roadmap promises stuff and then other things happen or become more important whilst we wait for the later roadmap things. I get it, its damned if they do, damned if they don't but I would agree that some form of roadmap is actually nice to see...maybe with some confidence levels alongside each thing to help manage expectations. 🤣🤣🤣 In a month's time we'll be loving every minute then! 🤣😄 I just hope they can add One in the Chamber to Private Games. It will certainly mean we'll play this game on an FG Friday a whole lot more.

@GazzaGarrattit came out in November and if it would have had the decent amount of content...oh wait wrong thread. 3 years is longer than they used to get and 3000 Devs was their boast and is all over social media etc. Maybe 2000 on sbmm or whatever it's called and 900 on the shop bundles. However the seasons and road map and timing is on them and it's late and imo pitiful. As we said before if we all agreed life would be more boring. I guess we wait and see what actually changes are made in a few weeks. Castle will be new to me as I didn't play the games it dropped in😁

Oh poop. Looks like just me then that can't remember that one (I don't remember many tbh until I play them!) Learning maps is something that most games don't drop on you all of a sudden. Not saying its not acceptable...but I understand it by putting myself in their shoes. Maybe its just me though. Hang on, it came out in November right? And 3 years is actually a small development cycle. Don't deny they have many devs but i'd love to know how many actually work on the game as i'm not sure its 3000. I was close to quoting an old phrase ppl used to use back in the day 🤣🤣 Agree to disagree on this. People have now even changed their tune about Taraq (not me, but most FGers really like it now).

@GazzaGarrattcastle is an old map. Having 5 maps to get used to is difficult? Why ? Is it a hard choice on which map to play? 3 years, the pitiful content dribble is already done @J4MES OX4D is probably right this will likely be a warzone rethink. Oh and the map rotation sucks in quickplay 😁. Infinity ward no excuse you're shits late.

I don't think the map rotation is too bad even though I would agree we need more maps - and they've said they're bringing them. Just probably nearer to 3 maps than 5 imo as you don't just dump a load of maps in overnight. In some ways, having 5 maps to get used to straight away is always difficult so there is an advantage for them to be released over time. I think sometimes it depends on what people are selecting to play in their playlists. We've been having Hardpoint, Domination, Kill Confirmed, Prisoner Rescue and Knockout all in the rotation which definitely helps you rotate the maps more often than maybe just playing Dom on its own. Found this info above which helps to understand a little more. Gunfight is definitely fun with 2 or 3 of you depending on the rotation, Gun Game is badly needed for Private Matches, I'll take a new Castle Map and then hope that they'll be more released outside of this. As said in a separate thread, I would expect 2 old maps returning based on the large Warzone map info we already know about and I certainly think they'll get hit with negative feedback if its just the one map as above tweet. tl;dr - Its not all bad as more decent content is coming. Slight disappointment we have to wait nearly 4 weeks to see what it actually is.

The perk system is set in stone I'm afraid, no way they would touch this because it's held with so much internal pride. We'll end up with one small multiplayer map and that it'll be it I bet, at least for the first 3/4 weeks. Most of their attention will be on saving Warzone I reckon. Really sounds like they are just winging it and making it up as they go along whereas other games like Fornite and Apex have a clear forward strategy which is why they aren't desperately scrambling to keep their games off life support. 3k devs, years of experience and feedback and we always end up having a battle just to get the game back to square one every bloody year. If they don't sort this out then they will have a really struggle trying to sell Sledgehammer's premium MW2 expansion this year.

Nero's take Can't wait for all the excuses 😉. 3 years and 3000 Devs😁

I've gotten a lot of people to team up. What I do is I say I can see you, don't shoot or our squad will return fire. I also ask to party up The only reason to shoot is the hunting a squad contract or the picking up tags mission I know you run mostly solo but if they think you are rolling a party they might leave you alone. I would say use proximity chat to scare them away. If you are solo you are easy pickings. Just occasional say that you have they operator in your sights. Do you want to ping if you want to engage. They might just decide to run at that point. It does happen a lot however. This morning my team killed 9 operators in our deployment just because they decided to shoot at us. We all rock a thermal sniper and ping the bad guys these days so it usually doesn't end well for them. It would be impossible for a solo player like you to survive that When we go to extract we take a car and I get out before the extract point. My team mates go to the opposite end of the extraction point. So if people attack they attack the two in the car and I am typically behind them so they get wacked 🙂

OK so having a bit of a better run today. I've just extracted 100k in a single run. I had been trying to to this all evening yesterday and failing spectacularly. I opted for a different tactic this time and looted the Sawah Hotel and the Deckhands toolbox nearby (I had a key for it) and achieved 73k from the two places. Now i'm off to complete the Poppy Farmer House mission wish me luck!!

Alec Baldwin to be charged for fatal Rust shooting - BBC News WWW.BBC.CO.UK A crew member will also be charged with involuntary manslaughter over the death of Halyna Hutchins.

Fuck it, let's go.

The GTA Defective Edition trilogy has been added silently to Steam with very little fanfare. No update(s) since March 2022 but they did manage to fix the spelling errors caused by AI generation, some missing textures, character models, other visual bugs plus they added the haze effect to mask the draw distance scaling. Currently £27 from £55 which is disgusting really. These are mobile ports made by a fringe studio that used AI to generate the city and borrowed assets from Unreal. Such a disgrace!

Meh, I just got banned for two months so fuck 'em, they lost a non-paying customer. That'll teach 'em.

Rejuvenate and update this thread:- Another one cancelled today More bad news for Ubisoft: it just cancelled another game | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM Ubisoft said it halted work on Project Q, which it announced last year, in order to focus resources on "priority projects." 3 cancelled last week and this takes the total number of canned Ubisoft titles to 8 games in 6 months. XDefiniant and The Division Heartlands must be clinging on to dear life😂

Finished a few more golds, got the Taq-M and SA-B50 Marksman Rifles done. Only the MK2 Carbine left to do. Also got the P890 Pistol is gold. Just left with the Basilisk and also most of the Snipers.

Is it just me or are the enemy operators becoming much more ruthless recently? no one seems willing to just let you pass on by and every meeting becomes a firefight

Was thinking what to put with my tourettes but couldn't think of anything so happy fucking birthday fella 🥳🥳🥳

I love that show, like you say it gives a great insight into how the teams all work and what goes into preparing before and during the season. Just wish there were more seasons of it Yeah, i think for a first time doing it it went pretty well, hopefully next season we can get a few more peeps involved and explore making little tweaks here and there to it 😂😂😂 totally agree 😂😂

I have to agree it's been a good season and I don't remember so many odd unexpected results. It's been better for me as well as I've got a guy at work into it so I actually have someone to talk to about it and I've never watched so many full love games before. Also having recently got into All or nothing on Amazon it gives you a greater understanding of what goes on in such a short season. The fantasy league was a nice addition as a side to the season tho I think it could be better🤷 The wild card weekend was really good, didn't expect the dolphins to run the bills so close and the giants game was great. Jacksonville have definitely been a surprise as has Brock Purdy. Really looking forward to see the chiefs this Saturday. On a side note Buccs and Packers 🤣

Well here we are at the divisional round, and in my opinion it has been a pretty great season so far. Who would have thought the Eagles would go 14-3 at the beginning of the season!! My Falcons and the NFC South were the worst division this season with all 4 teams finishing with a losing record - even Tom Brady's Bucs. The Jaguars are seeing some serious improvement this season as Trevor Lawrence found his feet and got them into the playoffs. Despite finishing 3rd in the NFC East, the New York Giants made the playoffs for the first time since 2016, and beat the Vikings to make the Divisional round. The 49ers have been looking very good this season and are one of the favourites for the NFC championship, along with the Eagles. In the AFC, Josh Allen and the Bills have had a great season, finishing 13-3 and being ine of the favourites to win the Superbowl this year, and after the unfortunate cardiac incident that Damar Hamlin suffered in Week 17, they are a lot of peoples (including me 😁) 2nd team for the playoffs and it would be great to see them win it after what happened. Following their Superbowl win last year, the Rams had a stinker of a season, finishing with a 5-12 losing record. The Green Bay Packers didn't fair much better, failing to make the playoffs for the first time in 4 years with a 8-9 record, and i've got a feeling we might hear a retirement announcement from Aaron Rodgers in the near future. As well as Trevor Lawrence, a lot of youngs QBs have started to emerge to give us a great group to watch throughout the season with the likes of Joe Burrow, Joah Allen, Patrick Mahomes, and Justin Herbert all having really good seasons. As a Falcons fan, although we still had an average season ,we still managed 7 wins, and I am quite hopeful for an improvement on that with Drake London, Derek Ridder, Tyler Allgeier all having pretty decent seasons this year, and if Cordarelle Patterson and Kyle Pitts can both maintain their form we smay even make the playoffs 😁 The attached is how the Divisional round looks now. We've already had some great matches in the Wildcard round, with the Cowboys beating the Bucs, the Bengals edging out the Ravens after a 4th quarter fumble return, and the Giants coming back to beat the Vikings. I would love to hear everyones thoughts on this season 😊

Right you bumders let's see if we can get this going somewhere. I'm tagging those who I've got even the vaguest recollection of being interested or I know has a PC but the server is open to anyone really 🙂 Tom @LordBaguette I'm sure this would run on your Mac @Diddums It's not Tekkit but you know you want to get back in to modded MC Carl @TurboR56Mini You've joined a couple of the packs but not really known what was going on so now is your chance to learn Gary @techno I don't think you use your PC for anything else so fancy joining? Conner @JamaicanSteve I've got a vague recollection of you talking about it but not sure if you have a PC? @Ajay I'm sure @crispymorgan mentioned you wanting to use his Java account so maybe time to pester him some more @Tadnothad How's your PC doing these days? I've got a vague recollection you said in Wales it was broken but hopefully you've got it fixed @Sennex Noticed you've been around the forums recently and you're always welcome to join @Macca89 I know you don't like MC so just tagging you to annoy you 😄

Ok so I got taken out by an enemy squad whilst changing vehicles. That's twice I've died with the poppy key now to say that I'm gutted would be an understatement. I think they really need to change something with DMZ as it can be particularly harsh at times. I now have to find and loot this key again 😞
