Is anyone really going to pay $24 for Nikto?

[angelofsinx4]

I am definitely not going to pay $24 for anything in the store. Instead of adding revenue generating content that could’ve and should’ve been in the game since day one the IW and Activision should address the many issues plauging the game since launch.

That 1v1, does anyone know if it allows you to work on operator tasks and daily/weekly XP stuff? I have one that tI am stuck on where I have to hack 15 items, and I tried a custom match with @MrWhiskerBizkit last night and none of the hacked items counted.
Yeah, looking for an easy way to get past a task that is way to hard for me and way to long to do.

[beers_and_leafs]

Yeah, they won’t work in customs, but they will in 1v1. However, I think it would be hard to get them as there are only 2 of you and there aren’t going to be many chances to do it.

[CowTipperTom]

If the 1v1 is you and a friend, and you are in chat, it should be easy to get a few things done. Need to hack, have your buddy have stuff that can be hacked. Need to get X# of headshots, just meet up and stand and point.
Might need to do a 1v1 a few times to get all the tasks done, but if you are not looking to play serious that night, just want to chill, shoot the bull and get a few tasks done, this could be the way.
But I could be totally wrong in how I am seeing it too since I have not done a 1v1 before in CoD.

[beers_and_leafs]

Yes, but if it’s like every other COD that’s been out, it will not be so easy to get in a 1v1 match with a friend. I haven’t tried it yet though.

[CowTipperTom]

@beers_and_leafs

I haven’t tried it yet though.

Time to find out if it can be done.

Kills are now credited to the player who downed the enemy player.

Good fix.

[Johneffinggalt]

No “Infected” playlist? Too soon?

In a new blog post, Activision has revealed what’s coming to Modern Warfare later this week. It appears Warzone is on the verge of getting four brand-new weapons, while a new operator and map are coming soon to Multiplayer.

It looks like all of this content will be available with tomorrow’s new Modern Warfare update. According to Activision, update 1.18 will launch at 11PM PT tomorrow.

Modern Warfare Talon Operator

Prior to the launch of Season 2, Infinity Ward revealed a new operator called Talon. The roadmap confirmed that this operator will release later on in the season.

Now, Activision has confirmed that Talon will be available within the Modern Warfare store later this week. You can unlock this operator by purchasing the Talon Operator Bundle. Not only will you grant access to Talon, but his “trusty dog Sasquatch will also join the fight.”

This will be the first time dogs will be available in Modern Warfare, although you can use Sasquatch as a finishing move.

Four New Warzone Weapons

In addition to Talon, later this week will also mark the arrival of four all-new weapons in Call of Duty Warzone. There’s no sign of what these weapons will be, but we should expect more information to emerge in the patch notes for tomorrow’s update.

As with the vast majority of post-launch content this year, you can expect all of these weapons to be available for free.

Khandor Hideout

Although most of the hype is focused around Warzone at this point in time, Activision also has a host of surprises in store for Multiplayer tomorrow. One of these is a brand-new map called Khandor Hideout, as previously teased towards the beginning of Season 2.

Khandor Hideout is a medium-sized map that takes place in Syrkistan. It supports 6v6 play and has a wide variety of combat ranges.

[CowTipperTom]

I was worried that they were going to be dropping season 3 soon; only a few levels away from getting season 2 wrapped up, not sure I am ready to plug into another 100 levels and a new season just yet.

FYI, update delayed.
