From the previous pc-patch:

Increased the base range of all Automatic and Semiautomatic weapons for more consistent close range combat.
Slightly increased the damage of Semiautomatic rifles over long range for more consistent damage output.

Increased the zoomed burst accuracy of LMGs and decreased LMG accuracy when moving to reduce LMG run and gun.

Decreased the damage of the PKM over long range to balance it with other LMGs.
Increased the base damage of the Type88 LMG to balance it with other LMGs.

Slightly reduced the base damage of the M16 and G3 to balance the increased range.
Slightly increased the damage of the AEK971, F2000, AN94, and AUG over long range to balance them with other Assault Rifles.

Reduced the lethal blast range of the 40mm grenade and M2CG to highlight their role as a secondary weapon against infantry.
Slightly Reduced the max range of the 40mm shotgun to balance it with other shotguns.
Slightly increased the base damage of shotgun rounds and reduced their range to clarify ideal shotgun combat distance.

Reduced the base damage of the PP2000 to balance the increased range.
Increased the damage of the 9A91 over long range to balance its lower magazine size.

Increased the damage and range of the M9, M93 pistols to make them more desirable as a secondary weapon.
Increased the range of the MP443 pistol to make it more desirable as a secondary weapon.
Increased the damage of the MP412 over long range to balance its low rate of fire.
Slightly reduced the rate of fire of the M1911 pistol to balance it with other pistols.

Increased the maximum number of Motion Sensors that can be carried from 2 to 3 and increased the speed which new sensors are acquired from ammo boxes.
Significantly increased the speed of the Tracer Dart projectile to make it more effective against airborne targets.
Increased the reload time of the Mortar Strike and reduced the damage it does to heavily armored vehicles.

“We feel we did very badly with the Stimulus package. $15 is pretty expensive for a package which only contains 5 maps, of which 2 are old an only reskinned. We feel we really should at least have added some extra content to make it worth the money. Because of that we have decided to lower te price to $10. We can’t do it immediately, the servers might go down again, but we’ll definitely do it. Also, to appologize, we’ll bring out a new free DLC in a few weeks. The DLC will contain 2 new Spec-Ops levels and will bring some of the favourite guns of CoD4 en WaW to the multiplayer.”

“Among the guns in the DLC will be some of the favourites of CoD4 and WaW, like the MP5, the AKs-74u, the M40A3 sniper rifle, the Arisaka unscoped, the Gewehr 43 and the Tokarev tt-33. It will be completely free, all you need is a Xbox Live Gold account.”

As you might have noticed, about a week ago the newest installment in the Battlefield series was released, Bad Company 2.  Some members already have the game (and are thorougly enjoying it) so we might do a few Bad Company 2 clan matches.  Besides this, a review will also be put up on the site in the next few weeks. As usually, don’t forget to check the forums out and post your ideas there.

If you have access to the game:

You might want to check out your stats online at http://bfbc2.elxx.net/sigg-o-matic.php you can make a signature to use in the forums, but please stick to the smaller sizes.

For those who are interested in the game but aren’t sure due to <18 accounts:

Apparently an error message which can occur is the

‘Failed to create account”

This can simply be fixed by downloading the demo for Fight Night Round 3, finishing the tutorial and selecting ‘connect to EA’ in the main menu. Here you can make your EA account. (this has been confirmed on xbox 360).

Thanks for reading and don’t forget:

HAPPY GAMING!

Do you want to kill that last juggernaut? Or get all 69 stars? Starting next week, Fluureldipje will put up walkthroughs to help you get through the most difficult Spec Ops missions. These will be applicable to both single player and co-op. Maybe you’ll even beat some of Infinity Ward’s times while your at it. Next week we’ll start with one of the Alpha missions, O christo Redentor. After that it will depend on what people want.

MW2 broke the record of fastest selling game by being sold 7 million times on its launch day. In the UK it sold 1.23 million copies. The previous record was held by GTA IV at 609.000 copies. IN the UK Modern warfare 2 sold 1.78 million copies in it’s first week. This is partly due to some shops selling the game under half of the RRP.

Modern Warfare 2 is officieel de snelst verkopende game die er ooit geweest is. Op de launchdag is het wereldwijd 7 miljoen keer verkocht. In Groot Brittannie verkocht de game 1, 23 miljoen keer, 2 keer zo veel als het record daarvoor van GTA IV. In de Benelux is het 80 duizend keer verkocht. In totaal heeft het spel op de launchdag rond de 500 miljoen dollar opgebracht, dus over geld zal Activision zeker niet hoeven klagen.

The first pic shows the warning for later levels and the second the scoreboard for the end of my first match. I will go more in-depth later on in the post.

Today, my copy of MW2 arrived. After calming myself down and being told to shut up by everyone who was anoyed by me telling them that ‘I haz IT!’, I started up the game.

The main menu has been given a major make-over, giving the player the choice between Single-player, Special-Ops or Multiplayer. After some consideration I chose to fire up a game of free-for-all Multiplayer.

Multiplayer

I ended up in a full server on Favelas.Deciding to see whether the gameplay had any significant changes to it. The whole experience feels more dynamic (your weapon moves around) and the game looks gorgeous. I decided to use the FAMAS, the new m16 equivalant. Before you ask, YES, it is a N00B weapon XD. Unlike the assault class in the original MW this class features a silenced spas-12 (!) as a secondary weapon. Luckily, the other players (29000 in total playing online) were also still getting used to the game. I got a fairly good score (see pic) and was able to call in a few UAV’s and supply drops. Supply drops give the player who picks them up a random boost ( I got ammo refill once and a second time a attack helicopter).

Special Ops

 First of all, Special Ops is genius. I am currently (although not for long) in the second to last set. I have only tried Spec Ops in Singleplayer, but hectic it was no less. The first tier will give you short mission lasting only a few minutes against weak enemies wheras on the higher tiers you’ll be fighting off pretty much a whole army. For instance in Alpha tier there is a level which requires you to survive for 4 waves against about a hundred soldiers in total. You’ll be given enough weapons at your spawn point and you’ll be granted a Predator missile strike (a missile controlled by the player, similar to the JDAM in BF:BC) every few minutes. It is possible to simply stay in one place during the whole mission (on Hardened). On the higher tier version of this level (a wave defense) you’ll be given a few guns and deployable turrets, before being attacked by waves of 20 or so enemies (which later become ’skilled’ enemies) and a few vehicles (including a predator UAV which stops you from pretty much being able to leave a building without being shot at). This one I actually failed on the last soldier (don’t you just hate reloading?).

Story (single-player campaign)

More info on this soon (I have only finished the first level)

The gamers have put a list online of the multiplayer  modes:

“team deathmatch

free-for-all

domination

ground war

sabotage

HQ Pro

Search and destroy

capture the flag

demolition

3rd person team deathmatch

hardcore team deathmatch

hardcore Search and destroy

cage match 3rd person”

In it, you can see third person modes. So it seemes you’ll be able to play thirdd-person certain modes of the multiplayer, and perhaps also in campaign or spec-ops.
