Modern Warfare 2 Is All Kinds Of Broken

The Xbox 360 version of Modern Warfare 2 has been hit with not just one, but two, new glitches. It seems that when Infinity Ward released a patch for the javelin glitch, they introduced some more game-breaking bugs.

If you’ve been playing any MW2 online recently, you might have found yourself dumped into a different game mode to the one you picked. That’s because players using matchmaking are somehow being put in private games.

Unscrupulous players are taking advantage of the situation by creating private 18 player games on Rust, MW2‘s smallest level, which allow them to gain tons of kills and level up with ease when they get converted in to public games.

But wait, it gets worse. It seems that a second glitch is spreading via these private/public matches: infinite ammo. Players are joining games to find they have a never-ending stream of bullets, grenades, and even killstreak rewards. Watch this video of an infinite ammo AC-130, and weep.

Responding to questions on Twitter, Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling said that they were aware of the glitches, and will be releasing a status report on the game shortly:

Preparing an in depth #MW2 Status Report for players to stay aware of what we’re addressing & how it’s progressing. Lots of updates in works

I should hope so. I’ve put over 24 hours in to the multiplayer of Modern Warfare 2 since its release last month, but right now the game is simply unplayable. I’ll be staying away until these issues are sorted, and I recommend you do the same.
