There's actually ANOTHER care package glitch:

For the love of ham please let this ed those damn glitchers.

I wonder in a few months when the new maps come out how many more problems there will be.....but seriously if someone is doing the glitches leave the lobby join a different one problem solved just play...opinions are just like

I guess I need someone to explain to me the incentive to even get the 1887s anymore? I mean if they're not anymore powerful with FMJs and Akimbo than their non-bling version why even have FMJs and Akimbo for it?? FMJs make every gun more powerful so why is the 1887s an exception to the rule??

Seems to me that a lot of people have obviously complained about it, but I say since we're doing this lets just make the game hand-to-hand combat. That way you don't have to worry about their being any advantage over anyone else.

I tend to see more complaints about MW2 on here than any other game.
I think the argument of "its so popular which is why there are so many glitches being found" is total bollocks. It's more like the backlash from the poor pricing plan and gameplay decisions continuing as time goes on.

At least BC2 has bullet drop because i'm sick to death of a sniper camped on the wing of an airplane with a seemingly pinpoint accurate ACOG .50 Cal.

Yeah....shoulda hada beta...just sayin'.

played with some friends today. we played around 10 or so games of different varieties. there was care package glitching in EACH and EVERY one. (and I'm not exaggerating) we're trying out the bad company demo. so far, so good.

This situation is very common. When the Quake 3 Beta came out, it was released first for Linux, then Mac, then Windows. They started small and ended with the major platform, so that most bugs were ironed out before it was released to the widest audience, who could then test for minutia.

alot of people complain because there terrible....maybe i just get in better lobbies and play with friends but i dont come by glitches every time i play except for that one week...it will work its way out and other games like BC will come and go..

*hugs PS3 version*

He got there legitimately, it's the only game he plays.

You can't compare Halo 2 glitches to MW2 glitches because Halo 2 was an original Xbox game in the early days of Xbox Live. Live is so much better today, and IW has been working with it for 5 yrs. For Halo 3, Bungie started to fix the glitches as soon as they popped up, but IW seems to be taking its sweet time. The XP glitch has been around for a month already and still hasn't been fixed. This is why I hardly play MW2 anymore and mostly play L4D2 cause its a hell of a lot better game than MW2

Modern Warfare 2 is the most disappointing game I have ever played. It's not just the glitchers in every game, it's the severe lack of any balance. If nearly everyone is running around 50mph, stabbing you from 20ft away, with dual wielding Model shotguns that require no aim from 100ft away, then things like tactics just go right out the window. Every time I try to flank the enemy, there is so much frantic chaos that it ends up being a frontal assault. I'm bored with it.

how about a care package in the form of dedicated servers?

1887's should have never been nerfed. The stats in the game clearly said its power and they shouldnt change that. The spas has more f-ing range then the models now. And now that they are going to fix the bling work-around is bull. Also in real life think of the range of a shot gun and the guns we have in mw2 are severly cut short of that. the 1887's was like the only accurate one.

@ big fat

Search will reward you with the most average amount of xp per game. You just have to do well

figured I'd throw my 2 cents in because people are buying into the whole bc2 vs. mw 2 argument when they are completely different breeds of shooter(and equally as crappy but in different respects). To state first off....I'm a big tactical shooter fan and a huge fan of both series. I play primarily on my xbox but I also have a PS3 and love it.(I don't even know why I had to state that when they're both effin multiplatform games)

MW2

1. The models are overpowered especially when compared to their real world counterpart..also the fact that you can dual wield them and they are still accurate blows my mind. We are talking about super powerful shotguns that weigh 8lbs and have an over 20 inch barrell. Based off that alone i wonder why we can't also dual wield the m1014? another complaint would be the amount of ammunition you can carry with the gun versus any other shotgun...it just borderlines on ridiculous when every other gun is somewhat comparable to their real life counterpart in terms of firepower, accuracy and ability to dual wield. The models are introduced as some sort of fantastical re-imagination.

2.This game is one of the highest selling games of all time and most people bought it for the multiplayer...you think activision would show more love for the community by frequently updating their pride and joy, but thats not the case. Activision doesn't give a damn if the game is balanced or not...they designed to the game to be as addictive as possible and they tried to nerf any sort of learning curve the game has by introducing care packages...and while care packages are fun as hell to use it seriously detracts from the core gameplay. But WHYTF would Activision care...they already have your money. Activision publicly states their shameful business tactics why would anyone assume that doesn't effect how their games are designed/maintained.

BC2:
1.I've always loved the BC series but once the "goldrush" mode was introduced it's kind of soured me on the series... What the hell is the point of having vehicles now if there are only two roads per map... it renders them almost worthless even though the vehicles were BF's differentiating factor from every other console fps. Now the game is a sub par team shooter with average destruction physics...big woop.

2. The frostbite engine kind of blows...the bf console games always have had issues with floaty, stiff, non responsive controls but it seems to get worse with every iteration.

3. Ea shouldn't even mention this game as having dedicated servers as a bullet point. Ea's servers are absolutely terrible... add in some lag with how unresponsive this game is and it creates a game where your skill as a player is completely irrelevant because what's happening on your screen is usually different than what's going on on the other end of the intertube.

Both games to be honest are kind of a stain on each individual franchise's integrity.. and to be honest both dev's Dice and IW should take a step back and take a look at why their franchises are even popular in the first place...instead they have to shoehorn these ridiculous new features(mw2) or just pretty much use the same old crappy engine and make new maps(bc2) to justify spamming us with sequels.

It's a bit hard to get excited by this news when everybody and their brother knows that there are more glitches and hacks on the way. Not to mention that glitches and hacks aside this won't change the fact that this game is one big killstreak, air support, camping wank-a-thon that's usually more frustrating than fun. No thanks.

Glad this patch is coming. At times it has been almost unplayable, specially when they are dropping an emergency airlift every 20 seconds. Now if they would just fix the lobby system (which I doubt since they never fixed MW1). Bungie managed to make (perhaps) the best lobby system in use, I don't see why gamer developers don't copy it.

It may not matter to those randoms that are dropping in an out of games, but I play with a dedicated group of gamers and we always go in as a full team. It can be very frustrating finding a game where we all make it into the pre-game lobby.

And BxGT: using punctuation and complete sentences is the best way to get your thoughts across and have them taken seriously. Real world skills matter.

I gave up on Modern Warfare 2. No immediate action on these glitches ruins the game. I don't like glitchers. I don't like seeing a ranking system gone to crap due to glitching. I don't like paying $60 for a game that is full of mistakes. Don't get me wrong, i love the Modern Warfare 2 game but this has been utter nonsense and a slap in the face for supporting a game that is obviously ignoring the masses.

I'd say we do a class action suit against Infinity Ward for selling us a half-ass game that has so many holes might as well call it swiss cheese.

I'm done, and have lost faith in Infinity Ward. I'm sure Treyarch will come up with a much better follow up to WaW.

I can't stand the unrealistic sizes when it comes to weapons in this game. Has anyone actually seen a Barrett Sniper Rifle in real life? The thing is damn massive and would be impossible to run around with. They weigh over 30lbs and are almost 5 feet long. It's just not realistic.

Look at the size: http://www.akinoluna.com/BlogPhotos/sniperrifle.jpg

Same thing with the 1887s. I would love to see someone actually fire two of them at the same time in real life like you can in the game. Unless you're the Terminator those bastards are going to fly out of your hands and hit you in the mouth.

You'd be hard pressed not to find a game that doesn't have at least one guy calling in an air package every 5 seconds.

If you are one of these guys please do us all a favor and jump off the nearest bridge, preferably a bridge over shark infested waters and anal probing bears....

i have an easy solution... anyone who tries to climb over wall and bring out a care package at the same time gets instantly blown up muahahahah ;)

I'm more concerned with the elevator glitch and the horrible, unavoidable bullet lag.
fix that stuff. the xp hacks don't really affect me.

its funny how some of the MW2 glitches are worse than those of World at War; yet people went on to bash world at war for its glitches to an extreme. In my opinion, i feel some people did that strictly because it wasnt made by infinity ward. (atleast i did :P )

law student weighing in: what exactly would you be looking to recover by bringing a class action lawsuit against IW? The value that you place on what the game could have been, but for IW's negligence in not making it as awesome as you think it should be? Nice thought, but you bought the product, and you don't have any damages.

As to the game itself, I'm glad they toned down the potency of the 1887's, but only because the akimbo setup is a bit ridiculous. How they went about doing so, however, is odd...I agree with previous comments that nullifying the bling fmj/akimbo doesn't make much sense. Also, why on earth did they even allow shotguns to access FMJ? It's "full metal jacket"...are we shooting bullets out of these things?

Personally, they really need to rework the distance of the lunges for knifing and the power of the pistols. In MW, I could do some real damage with an m9 or a USP 45...accuracy and reasonable power. A few well-placed rounds and you have a kill. Not so in MW2, and it's a shame.

I was a big fan of the rainbow six series back when it originated and in the first couple of installments. I know this is more arcade-style shooting than tactical fps, but being able to distinguish whether you wanted to use FMJ or hollow point, shell vs. slug, and actual power/distances of weapons was great.

Biggest problem right now is the super-human ninja-like abilities of players who use marathon, lightweight, and commando. Are they vampires or something?

Yeah, i think they patched the goddamn sniper rifles, when i first played, itd be rare for me to get hit markers, then as patches flooded in, they got weaker, now 90% of my quick scopes, and no scopes get a hit marker, its really annoying
