I am not sure if I posted this or not but here it is.

Alright, let me attempt to clarify as much as possible as its clear that there is
some misunderstanding on how matchmaking works in Modern Warfare 2 for international users.

The functionality you're asking for, the ability to connect to BEST connection rather than first available game aka quickest match, is already built into the matchmaking.

There is no need to include an additional toggle where you manually have to ask it to put you in the game best suited for your connection, that should all be done automatically without requiring you, the player, to go through an extra step to request it.

That's what I was referring to in the tweet of, "you don't select a region or country, it is auto-assist". Meaning, matchmaking will automatically put you in the best game for YOUR connection.

My statement was NOT to be taken as, "its the same as COD4". Just because there isn't a menu option doesn't mean the same functionality isn't being done on the backend.

We're doing extensive beta testing of Modern Warfare 2 internally, including with our Activision partners worldwide to test instances JUST LIKE THIS. Which is why I assure you a lot of your concerns will be unfounded come launch. However, we'll still continue to monitor activity and performance for our international users post-launch and address anything that may arise.

So I encourage you, put away the pitchforks and torches for the moment until you see it in action. Then feel free to raise any concerns you may have, for now I stand behind our matchmaking for US AND international users.

If there are any other concerns you think we're not aware of, I encourage you to let me know. This kind of response is good, shows you guys are passionate about the game, and I want to ensure you we're just as passionate about making sure you're heard and concerns are addressed.

Alot of people thought that when he mentioned an auto assist matchmaking thing that they didnt get to choose where the server was unlike Killzone 2 where you can. What he is saying is that they have made it one step easier by removing that feature and doing it automatically. He also mentioned that if it doesnt work as it was made to, then they might add the feature of choosing regions later on.

EDIT: Some more answered questions.

Also, Monster have released a MW2 energy drink, here is the info.

Activision teams up with Monster Energy next month for special Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2-branded packages, with the chance to win free stuff packed right in.

I have never heard of that.

EDIT: Some people think that you have to have preordered from gamestop to play. I preordered from another store and GameStop doesnt even exist over here so that is pretty damn lame.

Straight off Gamestopcorp's twitter:
http://www.surprizeattack.com/ is real and coming soon! Check back 10/1 for killer prizes, but you have to reserve MW2 to play!

A friend of mine is getting this so I guess I will too, just to play him online which I've never done.:)
 
!!!! You playing this with your shoddy internet connection! I cant wait to see this, although your connection is probably the same as mine at the moment. Mine is underperforming and overall failing horribly.
 
🤬 slow connection.:grumpy:
 
If you could speedtest it for me, I'll let you know if it is close to mine, if it is, yu should be fine to play as I dont have any probs with New Zealand or Aussie hosts. Any further from here and you will get a lesser connection, same goes to any Aussie really.

My speed normally shows a ping around 700ms, upload 0.25mb/s, 0.05mb/s down.
 
How the HELL does that work? You get the same upload as me which means you wont appear to lag to anyone else BUT, your download is just crap and your ping is just crap (no offence of course). How is your download usually slower than your upload with a home connection? I am confuzzled.
 
I cant either, shame I will be tied up with school until the hols. I will have another 4 or so weeks of school after it comes out.
 
20 kills in a row in a vehicle? 'Da **ck?

And in a campaign mode, to boot...But there are basically whole levels where you're in a turret or something. Snowmobile...AC-130. I'm sure it'll be something you get without trying.
 
There will be a brand new official trailer coming out today in about 5ish hours.
 
What the hell is going on in that trailer?

I really didn't expect to see D.C. burning.

I must have this game NOW...
 
Brand new trailer, I have not even watched it yet!!!
http://www.modernwarfare247.com/news/new-official-mw2-trailer

EDIT: It was completely unexpected to me. It isnt Multiplayer (thank god) but a great looking single player. I also did not expect D.C to be under attack and almost destroyed to be honest but it looks like great fun!

The whole Biblical theme is cheesy as fuh, and the apocalyptic D.C. seems a bit much, but it still looks like it'll be lots of fun to play the single player.
 
May I ask why you need to tell me that Rabia?

I have some news and I hope it doesnt affect many of you guys, Modern Warfare 2 for PC has been delayed for 2 weeks, releasing around November 24th. I dont know why but it is the truth and the link is here.

This just keeps getting better and better. The story line can be what ever, I really don't care. However the gameplay should be what sets this game appart from all others.
 
Well, the scenerio i came up with as to why DC is a warzone and is not too over the top is a modern day american civil war.

But then again, it could be an invading country, which would be over the top.

Either way, it looks fun.

My thoughts exactly. There is no foreign country that could take the White House. Ever.
 
There are some subtle hints that make me believe this might revolve around an american civil war in that new trailer.

The US soldiers in what looks like a bunker working on a computer, being sneaky and quiet in one scene then showing US soldiers going up stairs with guns ready like they are about to bang and clear that room. Not saying thats what happens, but thats what it looked like to me.

The other is the very first seen with DC. You see what looks to be a US soldier being blown up followed by an apache flying by as if the apache was the one that blew him up. NATO countries and smaller arab countries have apaches, but none capable of invading the US, so that has to be a US apache.

And of course the quote in the background that goes something like "fathers and brothers will cry out against each other", not word for word, but something like that.

So like i said, i really think we are looking a some type of civil war scenerio.
 
^Nuclear attack near DC anyone? Maybe that dastardly evil Makarov launched one, and then had his troops hold DC.

The troops part of my theory sounds far-fetched though.
 
My theory involves me coming in and ripping people apart!
 
Yeah, I saw that too, even better than the trailer.
