If I'm feeling especially bitter, I'll use the care package glitch so I sprint around the map at hypersonic speeds.
The default keybinding for knife is E in this game.

The last patch just removed ("normalized") the speed you run at with the care package grenade. :( At least I still have my OMA tube. IWnet: It just works |

The new map packs, when they hit, will be a 30-day timed exclusive to XBox 360. I can just sense the nerd rage from PC users, but I wonder how many copies are running on PC compared to the, what, 5 million+ copies of Modern Warfare 2 floating around with at least ~300,000 - 500,000 concurrent users 24/7 on XBox360 alone?

The logged playtime on crossfire for Modern Warfare 2 has already fallen significantly below the original, so I'm guessing there won't be too many PC left to cause a fit. |

Ah ha, wow. They are actually charging a monthly fee for a fucking map pack? Seriously? Is this on of the reason for the snubbing of the modding community? A shameless money grab for maps? What, it's not enough to nickel and dime people anymore? |

Timed-exclusive means that it won't be available on PS3 or PC until 30 days have passed.

Still, six maps. That's pretty hefty. There are only ten or so in the current rotation.

Of course, it makes sense now that I actually think about it.  Are these the maps from the contest IW are selling off, or was that just a rumor? |

Check Modernwarfail2.com. Some could be rehashes of good and classic maps. Other than that, nothing confirmed except certain hidden maps were shipped with the game under certain file names.

What the christ, that looks just awesome. I can't imagine wanting any alternative to this. The new map packs, when they hit, will be a 30-day timed exclusive to XBox 360. I can just sense the nerd rage from PC users
I don't see why there would be more nerd rage over this than there has already been over MW2's launch to begin with. I'm not even a potential customer at this point, and I've spoken to the guys I use to LAN with, and none of them are going to buy MW2 for PC either, because of the way they treat PC customers. |

Yeah, the timed-exclusive nature isn't that big a deal considering how long it took to get the World at War Map Packs out on PC. That said, they were free so I sure as hell didn't mind. |

Don't care anymore. 4 maps from MW1 is also in the pack. Probably shittified to Underpass-level. BF:BC2 beta starts in a week anyway. That will be the last IW ever see of me  |

Yeah, the timed-exclusive nature isn't that big a deal considering how long it took to get the World at War Map Packs out on PC. That said, they were free so I sure as hell didn't mind. Exactly. Last I checked through Steam, more people are playing MW1 than 2. That's just Steam, but it also makes sense. We're not talking light years of difference here. I enjoy MW2 as a freebie Christmas gift, but wouldn't have ever paid for it. I enjoy thermal and shooting down UAVs and I won't be surprised if/when those make it into the moddable MW1. That's the thing about this franchise really. Because all three of the last versions have been within the same console generation, it's not like they can really continue pushing the graphics to the Nth degree. So all they've got is more tweaks and more maps, and continued cannabalization of players between 4, 5 and 6 on the console side anyway. Eventually they'll charge for DLC. Before they even try it on the PC they'll likely have shed that audience, losing them to something else. And then the FPS becomes a console-only annual event like Madden. |

So for anyone not following the iTzlupo/MW2 modding A kid(iTzlupo) makes a video that spreads around quick about an Xbox Live moderator named The Pro. In the video the mod is showing abusive powers and going on a mission to ban every account iTzlupo has as a personal vendetta. iTzlupo cut. From there the guy has complained to Stephen Toulouse's(Director of Policy and Enforcement for Xbox LIVE) twitter. Not only that he hit up Robert Bowling (IW) with the following message: @fourzerotwo hey robert you need to look at this please the pro is abusing his power :(
Within a few hours the original cut( NSFW) of the video showing The Pro was under verbal abuse of people on Xbox Live. Note the kid on the tirade of swearing is not iTzlupo but he used the rest of the pro's responses to slice together the original cut. If you take a look at iTzlupo's video archive its all about modifying MW2 on xbox live and even the day before he taunts IW. @fourzerotwo just letting you know you can make a patch that fixes the xp mod but the jtag exploit can go
right threw the patch YOU FAIL!!!
@fourzerotwo all the mods are back :) you guys fail yet again xD LuPo
Penny arcade posts a comic today in honor of The Pro. In the mean time he posts more videos about how he acquired a new console and his gamertags are being banned on the new system as he logs in for any period of time by The Pro. His defense for this is he never ran any hacks or mods on this new Xbox and will talk to Fox news and start a class action law suite. Further comments on his youtube page: I WON! to all the assholes saying i wouldnt win your wrong i won xD :) "the pros account is now locked" - MS
BREAKING NEWS called ms spoke to a VERY HIGH power person told them what happened they knew me lol but i told them about the pro unfairly banning me they are now looking into the situation and possibly firing him MS themselves said "The Pro should not be doing this and he is wrong we are very sorry for this we did not find any source of mods on your console sir" so EPIC WIN FOR ME! no lawsuit maybe Stepto confirms this not the truth in a message on twitter @lawtondannyboy @majornelson haha of course that's not true. I'm going to be playing rock band with him online later. I'm his boss. Anon is enraged and a twitter account/post with the content Hello, name, address, parents names. Stop acting like a shit on Xbox LIVE (mod's kill the link if you wish). So far iTzLuPo's twitter has been closed, waiting on more fun to happen tonight! |

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

That kid has made an enemy for life. Seriously. He's been black-marked to such a degree that only public castration would satisfy the frothing masses out for his humiliation and degradation.
It's actually a frightening concept if there was some entity out there shining a light on those who hide behind John Gabriel's Internet Dickwad Theory.

Didn't f13 do pretty much the same thing to Vaginass when he came here acting like a dickwad? The idiot kid will get hassled a lot for awhile, then he'll be forgotten about. Just like anon's campaign against scientology. |

Overestimate, much? I'm sure they'll find other lulzcow, or whatever they call it, in a day or two. I can't imagine a loosely chained mass of retards piling in the same direction for longer than that. |

I think this might put a hold on Modern Warfare 3.
