This stuff looks cools, but these guys are a little 360 and PC biased... which is gay.

Mw2: better graphics that COD4
Modern Warfare 2: Texture Streaming
How important are graphics to you? Regardless of who wins in the endless ‘Graphics VS Gameplay’ argument, when you buy a new game, especially a direct sequel to a previous game, you have certain expectations of what that game should offer.
Innovation in gameplay, new features, new weapons, new maps, and of course, a leap in visual fidelity.
I’ve shown you some of the new innovations in gameplay (like the Customizable Killstreak Rewards video) and of course new weapons, perks, and levels within those videos; with more to come as we get closer to launch. Right now though, I wanted to take a look at the visual enhancements we’ve made to Modern Warfare 2.
A major component in the new engine tech that has the greatest impact on these enhancements is our new hi-res Texture Streaming functionality. Texture streaming allows our designers the freedom to make much larger environments, like the scene below, while also increasing the amount of detail on the characters, and environments in the vicinity of the player.
Take this screenshot that we released at GamesCom this week for example. Enlarge the screenshots to really see what I’m talking about here.

(ENLARGE - Before & After Texture Streaming Comparison)
Notice the major difference on the character model in this shot, specifically the head of “Soap” MacTavish and the fabric texture of his uniform.
You can tell even more in this full version of the screenshot:

BELOW: Compared to Full Screenshot without Hi-res Texture Streaming (Disabled)
You can see how this new feature allows to us to further push the amount of detail we can add to our characters, their gear, and especially the environment thanks to the memory allotment improvements it provides. Allowing more space for weather effects, dynamic destructible objects, and other details that are just as crucial to the total immersion of the game.
ORIGINS...THE RETURN!
The air was a cool and crisp -50 Farenheit on the icy path in the small Russian town of Verkhoyansk. A drunk man stumbled across the street from a local bar, trying his hardest to get home before he froze to death. Then, suddenly, he stopped and looked up. There was a man walking towards him, slowly. As the man got nearer the drunk could see that he was completely naked...and that his eyes were closed. The drunk yelled out, "Are you crazy, you are going to freeze!!!" The mysterious man replied, "Dame tu ropa que borracho o sufrirá las consecuencias!" "Give me your clothes you drunk or you will suffer the consequences!" Of course the drunk did not speak Spanish and new not what the naked man had said, so he just looked on...puzzled. This upset the naked man who had a very short fuse and in his frustration he opened his eyes, and with that everything around the drunk was gone...all the buildings...his house...his friends...everyone he knew was gone....except for him. The drunk looked up at the mysterious man in fear now and muttered, "Who are you, did you do this to my town?" The naked man got very close to the drunk and responded in his ear, this time in the mans own language, "Yes, I did this to your city and I spared you for one reason only." And the drunk responded, "What is that reason?" The man said, "Because, the people of this town were good people, all of whome are going to spend eternity in heaven...but I needed one person who I knew would go to hell...that person is you!" The drunk started to shake in fear as the naked man got face to face with the drunk and opened his eyes. As the drunk gazed into the emptiness that was this mans eyes the mysterious man said, "and when you get to hell make sure and let them know that I am back....I am NUMERODOS!"

LINGO
When someone yells "DOLLAR", this means the other team only has one person left alive.
A "GC" is anyone who has reached the 10th prestige and acheived the Gold Cross.
A "shawshank" or "SS" is anyone who has purposefully chosen NOT to prestige further, who otherwise would have most likely reached the 10th prestige by now.
A "Sterling" is a mixed drink consisting of Mountain Dew and Vodka.
If THESPARE15 says "uhhhh...." he's about to die.
If THESPARE15 says "I got it" or "planting" or "I'm gonna go kill him", he's also about to die.
If NUMERODOS says "I see him", then the game is already over and your screen should say "VICTORY" in green.

Random Thought!!
Tytime plays game for 2 years...no hackers! Tytime stops playing game for 1 week...hackers! Could it be that the game NEEDS tytime in order to function? All signs point to yes.
HISTORICAL DAY
We are now less than 100 days until the MW2 release.
Less than 100 days until the new chapter of P.O.D. begins.
Chuck Norris would be proud.

HACK ATTACK
So playing COD4 sucks right now that everyone and their dog is performing the new glitch... which basically involves turning into superman and being able to fly all around the map.
It sucks. The game is being ruined.
Luckily Infinity Ward issued this statement last night - "Thanks for all the feedback from our COD4 PS3 users. We hear you loud and clear and are investigating the glitchers."
Does this mean they're trying to fix it? Hopefully.
If you see someone cheating go here and report them to the playstation network.
