This was supposed to have been fixed today on the PC... but you know Infinity Ward. Their patch notes aren't always true.

I've never seen so many glitches in a single game before. I'm glad I hate Call of Duty.

I've hit a bunch of glitches and stuff on this game so far, i'm really unimpressed with it. Although i like the changes they've made to challenges, upgrades, and killstreaks, I really don't think i Like MW2 as much as MW1, but MW1 had tones of glitches too.

My weapon and perk loadout allows me to get ~50 kills per game with minimal effort. This game is broken. I'm constantly called a hacker...but hacking I do not do, nor exploiting. I play within the bounds IW set up, fair perks, fair weapons, and still my KD ratio is like 10:1 .... shame really.

Yeah, i played the game the first 2-3 weeks it came out had a k/d ratio nearing 2:1 and put the game away until recently i logged in and half the time i couldent even round a corner before some unseen enemy killed me the pace i died at was rediculous and think it was the first time i ever "ragequit" halfway during a match. feels like i wasted 40 bucks as now i dont even want to play due to the rediculous skill gap you are forced to play in Ive played many shooters where newbs and veterans were slapped in the same lobbys without other options but it was NEVER as big as a handicap as in this game.

and your point? this is the answer i give to any link to n4g.com if someone cant go to the source and give us that source, I refuse to give a fanboy motivated site like n4g hits. I answer to n4g links with that setence every time...you have to have seen it at lvl 35. as for that its easy for you to say you've seen it before, but both videos on the original source *which i found via search* dont show proof that i can see except they are accessing weapons at a low level which they could have hacked that them selves. Till we see video of a match and the aftermath...well you get the idea. till then ill keep saying n4g.com LOL no.

not really, youtube is FULL with exploits and glitch vids for the 360 curiously none are for the PS3 save for the runspeed through canister thing PC is loaded with aim bots and see through walls (rediculous when combined

thats why ive been sticking to COD 4 or World at War, cause the matchmaking is ridiculous in this game. Why are they putting prestige players with people who just bought the game and are at like level 3? its stupid. the prestige players get no challenge, and the newbies get murdered without ever enjoying the game

Thank goodness I don't play it on X360. That sounds serious. But then again... there are so many hackers on the PS3 that have tenth prestige so I couldn't care less what level I was.

I sure love the way you post EVERY time someone makes a remark or brings up a negative topic against MW2.

Why should rank matter anyway, or K/D ratio for that matter? There's so many weirdos out there boosting and such that any of those things mean nothing.

PS3 has exploiters that abuse weaknesses in the game's engine and design - they level up so fast because the riot shield gives tons of XP enemy team + sentry gun = mad leveling, this is neither a bug or hack. 360 has exploiters AND Hackers who inject malicious code into the game (simply externally editting your gamesave in notepad qualifys) and can be harmless to entirely fubar the online experience. The most harmful part of hacks is theyr ease of use 99.5% of the hackers are technically inept and simply followup on a 5 sentence walkthrough or youtube video.

Nah, FAMAS one of the earliest guns to unlock (if its not available at start that is) is also one of the most powerful of the bunch its not a huge step between that and the ACR

Playing with the M16 always increased my accuracy buy miles only to sink like a brick after going back to the spray gun ACR

Welll, I thought he implied that rank = bragging rights, also there is no technically "best" gun in MW2, simply because you can rape with (almost)any gun since everyone goes down like flies in this game, not to mention you would have to unlock all those attachments again(no?) >_

I really dont think this whole newb vs veteran thing is an issue, i mean if you spot the enemy first and shoot first you usually win regardless of lvl,guns or perks. The only thing i could think of ruining it for a beginner is veteran snipers that move between hiding spots and snipe the entire match, but i hardly run into them that much well in team death match that is.

I agree with the first part of your statement. I think I am at level 51 right now and have bested people with higher ranks on numerous occasions...and have had my ass handed to me by lower ranks as well. Everyone has an off match or, in my case, several in a row. I think people are too quick to blame everyone but themselves for theiroccasional shortcomings.

As much as I love MW2, IW really did a half baked job on the coding. There are countless glitches in the game. They also did a pretty darn bad job of weapon / perk balance. 1887's should NOT be able to be used akimbo. There are countless other examples as well.

They're far worse now after the patch, the range used to be stupid, the Spas12 is far worse as you you don't have to work to aim it, just tap aim and shoot and you'll get a kill.

It's funny how I play CoD4, then go to MW2, and it's pretty much the same experience.

Also, you don't really have any say as to what goes into the game. So what makes you think that you can say that Akimbo 1887's shouldn't be in it? It's not like the CoD franchise has ever really pushed towards realism.
