======= UPDATES/ENHANCEMENTS v13.3 ===================================

- New feature for dealing with a hacked server! As long as the MW2CU is running, while you are playing MW2, if you hold down the ESC key for 5 seconds, it will shutdown the game instantly. So if you enter a hacked server, and don't want your stats to sync to Steam, you MUST shutdown the game by either Ctrl+Alt+Del, or just hold the ESC key down for 5 seconds.
- IW got rid of the ability to change the size of the UAV Map. Program will now alert you if map size is altered, and set it to the right size. Cannot be edited anymore.
- Clicking on the "Use Keystroke:" option now starts the backup timer automatically.
- Added "Reset My Rank" to advanced tab
- Program can now tell if Steam is running when you try to create a backup. Steam needs to be running when you make a backup, or else starting the game will overwrite your backup.
- Got rid of 'friend me on Steam' button. Maxed out my friends list! Haha!
- Added 'Join MW2CU group' button.
- Fix for backup/restore problem
- Got rid of status bar at bottom (was useless)
- Added "Read-Only" checkbox to common settings tab (makes your file read-only, program will not disable read-only status anymore)
- Moved UAV Map Size to the graphics tab
- By default, using the backup timer will now minimize to the system tray
- Added new tab "Name Creator". Use to create colored names with ease! (tab will be disabled by default, you can enable it by going to EDIT > TABS > NAME CREATOR)
- Fixed problem of verifying cache restoring in-game music (just run the program and see if the "Disable In-game Music" check box is checked)
- Fix for profiles error when two profiles had very similar names
- Added sound effect for when you make a backup in-game (3 beep sounds in a row, it plays your Windows Beep sound)
- Submit Feedback now links to my website contact form (much better using that)
- "Put Icon on Desktop" button is now on the backup/restore tab (makes more sense there)
- New 'Opening Message' (won't display if you have already used the program)
- Program can now be minimized to the system tray when auto backups is enabled
- Now shows remaining time for auto backups
- Auto backup shouldn't disrupt your game (before it would minimize game possibly)
- Added Donate button to 'common settings' tab
- Program now tells you if some files were not backed up (user cancels backup)
- User can now define config file location (if MW2 not installed using Steam)
- Functions that you can't do unless Steam is installed are disabled if Steam is not installed
- Updates to the "Send Feedback' function, still won't work if your computer blocks outgoing SMTP emails though
- Added "Reset" button to advanced tab which will reset your file location if it is incorrect

========== BUGS FOUND v13.3 ===========================================

- [SOLUTION] If the program doesn't start, try updating your .NET Framework
- [SOLUTION] Make sure you run the program as an Administrator, or it won't work properly

As many as 12,000 "CoD Modern Warfare 2" players found themselves on the wrong end of a ban hammer recently via Steam.

Unlike Blizzard's 320,000-account Battle.net ban spree in April, however, Valve's software targeted "MW2" players wrongly, which the company freely admits. In fact, they're restoring the banned accounts and even offering complimentary copies of "Left 4 Dead 2" as tokens of their regret.

"The problem was that Steam would fail a signature check between the disk version of a DLL and a latent memory version," Valve president Gabe Newell wrote in an email that was sent out to users in response. "This was caused by a combination of conditions occurring while Steam was updating the disk image of a game. This wasn't a game-specific mistake. Steam allows us to manage and reverse these erroneous bans (about 12,000 erroneous bans over two weeks)."

If those who were banned are willing to come back to Steam, Valve hopes they will accept "Left 4 Dead 2" copies and even give some to their friends.

"We have reversed the ban, restoring your access to the game," he stated in the email. "In addition, we have given you a free copy of 'Left 4 Dead 2' to give as a gift on Steam, plus a free copy for yourself if you didn’t already own the game."

Valve may have lost the software glitch battle that allowed this whole scenario to occur, but they may at least win the PR war in the end thanks their action.

The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Resurgence Mappack DLC, a mix of new and old maps, is now available for PC and Playstation 3.

The two old maps are from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare: Vacant and Strike. The three new maps are Trailer Park, Carnival and Fuel.

This second and final map pack for CoD: Modern Warfare 2 can be bought in the PlayStation Store or via Steam.

An impressive Call of Duty - Modern Warfare movie, produced in two parts and entitled ‘Frozen Crossing’.

With a low budget and some nifty computer work, Niko Pueringer & Sam Gorski have made this unofficial tribute to one of their favorite games of all time, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.

The Must See (!!!) Call of Duty Modern Warfare Movie: Frozen Crossing :

Comment from the makers:

Hopefully we delivered this in a reasonable amount of time. Thanks to people graciously helping us for the sake of making a fun action movie, we managed to do all of this for a total of just over $600. A little pricier than the first ($209.42), but totally worth it.

And it was totally worth it.  Best I have ever seen.

Made with "only" $600 it clearly shows that, nowadays, you dont need millions to create an A+ movie. Just some creative talent is enough.

GJ !!!!

An other mix of new and old maps will be available on July 6th for PC and Playstation 3.

Infinity Ward's Fourzerotwo announced via Twitter that the second downloadable map pack for CoD Modern Warfare 2 will drop on the PS3 and PC next month. North American PS3 owners can pick the pack up on July 6th, while the European PS3 market will have to wait one more day till July 7th.

PC gamers will be able to pick it up worldwide on July 6th 2010

No pricing details were given, but one could assume it will be similarly priced to the Xbox 360 download.
