There sure are a lot of folk apparently surprised that some software has some bugs in it. I'm sure it's a mark of your enjoyment of the game otherwise that makes these relatively rare bugs so frustrating, but really, taken out of context a lot of the posts on this thread seem pretty unreasonable. I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I've been logging on there every night for a couple of weeks now, play some fun games and log off again.
Maybe still being quite new to the game I can't tell a bug if I see one, but in all honesty if it makes me hate the game the way some of you folk seem to, I hope I'm never able to.
Ignorance is bliss!

Only way is people reporting them.user_nat said:
But I don't think a ban is justified. It's IW fault for not testing this game, and if you can do something in the game without a 3rd party device, well I don't think you can really argue that a punishment is justified. Just patch it and move on.

Wow, the Silenced UMP really is ridiculous :lol
Had some good games tonight using it and the M104 shotgun lol
Started a merc TDM in Skidrow 7-1-0 by shotgunning 5 people in the room with the mounted machine gun after UMPing 2 guys at the end of that tunnel with the window
And tomorrow its ME2 time so I'll be getting super rusty for sure

There is a large difference between some bugs and game changing glitches. If you log into a game and people are doing all kinds of shit that they shouldn't, then the game is broken.
It's not as if these glitches are hard to find either.

No version is spared from Infinity Wards Shitty coding. It's almost like craptavision decided to save money by having all of the coding work done in mumbai or something. Seriously the bugs, glitches are horrible and game breaking. Next time have a freaken beta so retarded things like this don't happen.

To be fair to IW, the glitches being discovered now were 3 months in the making. A 2-3 week beta would have found the afghan rock(assuming afghan was in the beta maps), care package running, javelindom (if level cap was 50+....maybe) and akimbo 87 runners(level cap 67+...unlikely). Shit like infinite packages and infinite ammo server hacks would have made it through, it took a combined population of 10million+ at least a month to find those, the new infinite package took 2.5. Stop bitching about a beta, it would not have helped at this point. These are now the glitches you would have had to put up with anyway.gibonez said:
EDIT: not saying don't bitch about the glitches, because that's completely fair to do. I'm just saying that blaming not having a beta at this point is foolish.

They should have added some safe guards into the game like limited air drops for each player at the same time, you know just in case someone manages to break the game...
Supposedly there are, but I've yet to see any of the ones being discussed right now (ie Air Drop, Care Package runners), whether that's down to the PS3 having a smaller playerbase or just simply luck, I'm not sure.CozMick said:
However, all the other silly things are here, the Akimbo 1887's, the noob tubing across the map at spawn points and the often woeful lag. That said, when the game works properly, it is a barrel of fun and seriously addictive to boot

And hard caps on how much ammo can be carried (ignored completely when an infinite ammo server pops up and the clip never empties), or a maximum movement speed(which is broken when a care package is equipped) and a billion other contingencies for things that they didn't anticipate? That would require a God-like foresight/prescience. There's holes in the code, they get patched within a couple of days once discovered(then console approval process takes some time).Diablohead said:
Seriously, there's some bugs but they get fixed as they show up. Better than some games I know of (eg gears 1 crabwalking). Just put it on the shelf for a week while you wait for the patch. (and bitch at MS for their slow ass approval process)
I wanted to say this! Holy shit that was good. I don't even understand how he did some stuff - like the intro fly-by and panning around that seamlessly blends into the first kill - but it looks AWESOME! There's a part toward the end where every kill is in rhythm with the snare drum too...Skilotonn said:

Yeah, that video had some excellent editing in it, like fly by's showing a bunch of guys coming over the wall and then transitioning into the gameplay. It was really well done. Terrible music though (IMO. Not a big fan if eminem)aku:jiki said:I wanted to say this! Holy shit that was good.

Speaking as a software developer who does this sort of thibg for a living, nobody should be surprised that there are bugs and glitches still being discovered. IW probably had a QA department with about 100 guys, and then they released it to 10+ nillion consumers. Of course we're going to find new bugs. Just be glad we live in the age of downloadable updates.
And we're past the point where a beta would have made any difference. So anyone who bitches about the lack of a beta at this point loses all respect in my book.
That being said, after the first CP glitch, you'd think they would have taken a closer look at the killstreak stack and put in some hard stops to keep this from ever being able to happen again.
Here are some of my favorite claymore spots:
Invasion: Coffee shop near B, back entrance from C, up against either short wall
Scrapyard: Middle fuselage; entrance by A, facing inward
Sub Base: Center approach to B from C, against the wall facing the approach
Highrise: Littered throughout the tunnel exit inside my highrise.
Skidrow: Middle steps leading up from the bookstore to B, right against the back wall facing the steps

First Ever Post!
Hi Gaf
Have to say a few things about Modern Warfare 2 as a start, no better place to start as it is one of the most important games of the last 5 years. The fact that of the thousands of posts on Gaf and other forums about it are pretty much all negative yet over 6 million people play online go some way to prove that!
How can a game that is so universally panned by the fans and "experts" be so popular?
Because despite its faults and some are blown out of proportion its Controls, Visual Feed Back and Satifisfaction are unparrelled.
Yes it does have a few problems
1. Why speed up the care package marker holder to turn him into a crazy knife welding manic?
Surely just keeping him the same speed as someone holding a gun would have been more realistic, I mean you can press the --> button anytime you like to throw the marker its not like your handicaped as soon as you get the kill streek
2. Don't call your game Modern Warefare 2 and then have it turn into a Bizzare Western
The "duel" function should only have been for pistols, if you really care that much by Red Dead Redemption instead because your supposed to be playing Andy McNab not Clint Eastwood
Even with all its faults every Modern Warefare 2 player can share this experience, that night where you stick it on, everything happens for you "double kills", "Sticky Grenades" all your mates are online together playing a team game but guess what your against another team of mates too and there is a bit of banter, thats what makes this a great game
I don't want to be negiative, in short this is a throughly good game and anyone who visits here daily to bitch about it probably still plays it more then I do!

The game's not broken. You're obviously failing to exploit this great feature that Infinity Ward implemented. I'm sick of people whining about glitches when it's obvious they must be bad at them, otherwise they wouldn't complain.

Isn't it more the point that its pretty much cheating and not how the game is meant to be played? It wasn't implemented by them it was a mess up in the coding that they didn't see.
I wouldn't even think of doing these shite arse glitches as it automatically makes you lame.

I am so addicted to this game that despite the 60 bucks in my wallet, I'm not going to buy ME2 today. I'm going to play MW2 tonight.

Yeah they are everywhere, when you get knifed, just look at the kill cam, if the guy is holding the little remote in his left hand, you've been had by a care package knifer. Be care guys/gals, that is an exploit, not a glitch, it's a cheap a
$$ way to play, but was built into the game purposely to help players get to their care packages. Now in regards to the infinite care packages, just watch when your playing in the match, if a player on the other team goes, 3 or 4 and 0 watch the sky, if you see 1 airdrop that's normal, but if nobody else has gotten a 3 or 4 kill streak and another package is coming, your in for a long match until someone kills that guy fionally, then he'll just do it again the next time he gets his kill streak. It really sucks, btu always keep a class created with a stinger missle in it.
I don't get the indignation personally. I mean how many hours have most people who are complaining the loudest played? I'm up to 6 days now on multiplayer. I haven't played a game online (forgot to specify this originally) on my Xbox 360 for more than an hour or two since I had the thing basically and I've had Live the whole time. I paid like $50 or so on Amazon for this and have managed to play through the single player twice (which I thought was amazing btw) -- once on Regular, once on Veteran. I've played the multiplayer like 140+ hours. How long do you play the typical game you buy? 20 hours?
Yes, there are annoying glitches. Yes, people can ruin the enjoyment of a match or two.. but the game is still very, very fun at its core and its value of time to dollars spent is off the charts. If you're not having any fun due to the items that could use patching or even if you're not having fun at all, there are options. Shelf it or sell it. You've probably already gotten more than your money's worth.

Meier nailed it. The fact is that in spite of all the shit in the matchmaking, for every round that there's a glitch there's 8 or 9 that play normally, and when this game is going according to the rules it's an absolute blast. The gameplay is good, the controls are spot on and the pace of the game is frantic but controlled. It all adds up to a great experience when the wheels are all turning. Sure there's problems, but I'm willing to put up with some bugs since most of the time I'm having fun. I bitch as much as anyone else here but I still play the shit out of the game.(200+ hours and counting, though I haven't played in a while)

Totally agree, put the game down for 2 weeks till they patch it then get back on it.
Lets be honest, cold blooded pretty much negates this glitch anyway, I love the fact their all standing there too busy picking up their ill gotten crates while I sneak up behind them and knife them.

Thanks to you people I ended up watching tons of montages and they where awesome, but they depressed me a bit, the game is nowhere near as action packed or fast paced as those montages make it seem, if people didnt camp/ be cheap CoD would be so amazing.
I have to say though one of the montages I watched had a LOT of shotgun kills, why put those in a montage really theres nothing incredible about watching someone shotgun someone :lol

You could say the same for every official thread on these boards; every game has glitches and exploits, but if everyone actually hated the game for admitting they were annoyed about them, the games industry would've died out long ago.LosDaddie said:

I think everyone agrees it's a fun game to play, they just wosh there weren't so many issues detracting from that.
Oh well, I'll be playing for my 2 hours tonight, LOL.

Just hazarding a wild guess, but I'm going to go with the fact that no matter how backasswardsly broken a game is, it will never pose a legitimate threat to your health during normal use.gibonez said:
Start > Leave Game
Usually I can shoot down all their glitching care package shit, but I recently Prestiged a 3rd time and only just hit 22, so I don't have my Stinger yet. Last night, about the third time a kid glitched the Emergency AD on their team I realized what was going on. I just quit the game and found another match without cheaters within about 90 seconds. Didn't see it the rest of the night. Shit has nothing on the old Javelin glitchers & akimbo 1887s anyways :lol

The ninja defuse is the single greatest thing you can do in this game, better even than the nuke.
