Another Modern Warfare 2 Glitch
In what is becoming sort of a regularity these days, another significant hack has come to rise in the Modern Warfare 2 online community.
The hack apparently allows any bullets shot from a regular weapon to have the effect of bullets shot from the chopper gunner kill-streak. The results usually being insane bullet penetration and explosive damage. The hack is infectious, just like the infinite ammo one a few weeks back.
With the stories of the other recent hacks being made in this game, it makes you wonder if Infinity Ward actually put any anti-mod capabilities into the game. While I have no problem with people playing modded games in offline games, or even in private unranked games, the fact that these hacks have found their way into publicly playable online games is an absolute travesty. And since the hack is infectious, you could end up being banned from the service for something entirely out of your control.

Why, after the first bug like this, did they not just stop the game having spreadable settings like this? Seems odd to me.
Thankfully I haven’t come across anything like this.
How does it spread exactly? Just by joining a game or do you have to meet other criteria as well?
@ Wardrox,
At this point, that would mean shutting down the entire game and leaving everyone who bought it out of pocket.
Which, Activison should do, actually, I mean they are the Regeneration of EA circa 2005, right?
In IW’s defence, this mod was actually patched before this article went up.
@ Rabid, You join a game in which the host has the mod, as the game forces everyone to sync their cache with the host, you “catch” the modded file. If you join a game where you are not the host (there are many nefarious ways to ensure you are), your cache updated to a non-modded version and the mod is removed until you’re infected again.
MW2 is a glitchy piece of shit. Just now I was the last man standing on S&D Favela, I killed the last enemy and jumped off a building I was on (with commando pro) to defuse the bomb at A, and I landed on an entirely undamaged car which promptly exploded for NO FUCKING REASON, making us lose the round and the game. FFFFUUUUUUUUUUU-
