Infinity Ward: Modern Warfare 2 glitches affected 'one percent' of players

CVG had a chat with
Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling recently, and surprise surprise, the guy is really good at towing the company line (he'd better be, especially when he's getting confronted with
Modern Warfare 2 questions even
during random PAX panels about Twitter). He easily fended off questions about whether or not the Stimulus Package's
two older maps are worth the $15, the ensuing competition from
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and the supposed backlash from hardcore players, saying that
MW2's popularity proves the company has done everything right so far.
Bowling was especially dismissive of
the glitches that plagued what seemed to be most of the game's players, saying that only "like one per cent of our user base" of 25 million players "experienced those types of things and even participate in those types of things." Could have fooled us --
from our perspective, the frustration over the game's widespread cheating seemed significant. But Bowling persisted throughout the interview. According to him,
Modern Warfare 2 is doing just fine, thanks.
