Modern Warfare 2 gets patched

As I mentioned a few days ago in this post Infinity Ward submitted a patch to Microsoft last week that would fix some ridiculously annoying exploits in Modern Warfare 2. Today an update fixing those problems was rolled out. If you haven’t been prompted to download the update yet (I did earlier today) you will in the next few hours or so.

Here are the problems the patch should take care of:

  • Care Package, Emergency Airdrop, and Sentry Gun marker grenades sprint speed normalized.
  • Fix for “infinite care package” exploit.
  • Sentry Guns: Improved placement detection, preventing cases of Sentry Guns inside geometry.
  • Model 1887: Bling using Akimbo and FMJ combination now has same range and damage as non-Bling Model 1887s.
  • Fixes to prevent various XP hacks (including the prevention of negative XP)

It looks like it’ll be safe to play some Modern Warfare 2 again. It’s good to see Infinity Ward does what it can to get these glitches taken care of. Running into players with the Akimbo Model 1887 was never fun. Well at least if you were on the losing end of them anyway.

Modern Warfare 2 care package glitch getting fixed. Finally.

It’s happened to all of us. You are running around knifing people and popping off the occasional head-shot when you hear that voice pipe up on the TV “enemy care package incoming”. You don’t think too much of it, hopefully they get something lame like extra ammo or a UAV jammer. It doesn’t phase you. You just keep doing everything you can to kill and not be killed. And then you hear those words again “enemy care package incoming”. Something isn’t right. It’s pretty early in the match for someone to rack up enough kills for one, never-mind two care packages. You check the scoreboard and notice only one person on the other team has enough kills for a care package, but no one has enough for two.

Congratulations you are the latest victim of someone on the opposing team taking advantage of the care package glitch. The latest major glitch in Modern Warfare 2 to be exploited by douche bags with no skills.

But it’s OK help is on the way. Hit the break to find out when.

Yet another Modern Warfare 2 glitch…

The next in a long line of glitches exploited in Modern Warfare 2 has been found. No it’s not the Javelin glitch, or the infinite care package glitch, or the bouncing claymore glitch. This ladies and gentlemen is the Ice Skating glitch.

Instead of running at normal speeds, players zip across the screen as if they are “skating”. Making it ridiculously hard to shoot or melee anyone. From doing a little investigating I found out that the glitch is actually a PC mod that was somehow migrated to the Xbox 360 version.

Keep reading to check out the video.
