Infinity Ward Fails Again

Game Developer Infinity Ward has failed yet again with there latest release, Modern Warfare 2. New mods have surfaced online for the console version of the game allowing God Mode, Spawning with an AC-130, Golden Desert Eagle, Disable Enemies Perks and plenty more.

Also, the very nasty bug that allowed for an infinite amount of care packages is back again after being unsuccessfully patched 4 times.

[Jumper09]

HAHAHAHAHAH xDDDDDD
Sooo great that this game is going to die :D

[ape007]

box my friend, go and check the latest npd mw2 numbers for both systems, nearly 600K, that's mind blowing after what it has done

also it's the most played game on xbl\psn and mark my words, when the dlc arrive, everybody gonna buy em, ps3 or 360

[-Alpha]

But not to the extent that people have to go out of their way to mod this game. It's unfair for other players. I want them to understand that their core mechanics are garbage and unbalanced. The fact that it seems so easy to hack this game is just sad on IW's part. This game is hopeless.

So far, the PS3 version remains safer than the 360 version in terms of hacks and mods, at least that's what I find. If you hackers are going to destroy the PS3 version I would be pretty upset. That's the big problem: I want IW to pay, but I don't want it to be at the expense of honest gamers just looking for some fun. The problem then is, who to blame? IW for being lazy or the hackers for hacking?

On one hand I'm happy because I hate IW's laziness and incompetence. On the other I don't see why people should promote this crap and approve it because it's unfair for the people who bought the game and want to play fairly. Hackers like this are equally to blame as IW themselves. On the OTHER hand, the only way for IW to wake up and smell the green tea is if hacks like this are rampant and run wild all over the servers.

I'm just waiting for my copy of MAG and BC2. IW truly has screwed up like none other. They got greedy, they rushed their game, and they turned their backs on their fans. Developers play as big as a role as the games they make. IW has broken my trust. I look at guys like Zipper and see that though their game has issues they are rock solid in supporting their community and fixing their game. IW, who is much more successful can't do that. What does that say about IW and Zipper? IW has ruined their reputation.

This truly is a sad, sad, game. The networking is piss poor, the mechanics are ruined, and the game has more cracks than Whitney Huston.

[mittwaffen]

But this is one of the times XBL comes in hand, cheaters get reported by a handful of people and get deleted. Its a great system and alot use it.

[Chubear]

... and when MW3 comes out it'll out sell even MW2. Great job gamers, great job supporting this type of game development. We've really shown a lot of developers what kind of games they should bring out that we'll give them tonnes of sales.

[Rockox]

And in related news, Infinity Ward doesn't give a crap coz they're too busy counting all their money.

[SPACEBALL 1]

mw2 sucks with or without the glitches. im glad people keep on modding the game. mw2 needs to die. im am ready for BFBC2. no more i shot to the leg kills!!!!!

[GVON]

I really like IW,with COD on PC they provided me some of the best memories in FPS gaming.I cant understand how they messed up so badly,COD 4 wasn't issue free,but in comparison MW2 is a mess.
They had 2 years to improve on COD 4,they didn't rebuild the engine so mostly it was just designing levels and gameplay features,but it seems so buggy.

If it's one thing i've grown to hate since the patch culture became prominent on consoles,is the feeling were paying to became game testers.
I'm not Halo fan but bungie seem to have nailed the QA process,and so have a few others.Most recently Zipper,they should also be applauded with MAG.Like the gameplay or not,but It's the most ambitious FPS on today's consoles,and from day 1 it was rock solid,with only o small patches fixing really minor issues.

[cronaldo7]

Seriously though, IW doesn't care. If they did, they would've done something a long time ago. They made there money, it's not worth the hassle to them.

[randomwiz]

Me: Hey iw, just wanted to say, although COD4 isn't perfect, its my favorite online game so far this gen, and it just keeps me coming back(Jan 08)

IW guy #1: It seems like our fans like the game. Lets spend 2 years making a sequel, but lets not change the game. Everything is the same, but we'll use different guns.
IW guy #2: And lets make our perk+equipment system different. We'll make them more noob friendly. And make sure grenade launchers are unbalanced so noobs get into the game. the grenade launcher won't replace equipment or first perk.
IW guy #1: Hey why not add heartbeat sensors, that'll ruin S&D. And lets make worse maps with more camper spots than in the first game. Oooh, lets add a teleportation perk.
IW guy #2: Nah, teleportation sounds too unrealistic. I got an idea, why not make a knife teleportation perk, but we'll call it "commando"
1.5 years later:
IW guy #1: Alright, so we're doing developing the game. What now? beta test maybe?
IW guy #2: nah, this things going to sell millions, why waste money beta testing.
IW guy #1: yeah, lets not waste money investing in lagless dedicated servers. Let's keep all the hundreds of millions we're going to make.
IW guy #2: lets finish the DLC now, so we an release it later and sucker another $10-$30 from our fans.
3 weeks later
IW guy #1: so we're finally done with the game.
IW guy #2: We're still months from release though.
IW guy #1: lets spend the rest of the time imaging how much money we're going to get.
IW guy #2: i calculated and we're only going to get $400 million
IW guy #1: Lets make a 'prestige edition' and make it the price of an xbox arcade, and include cheap second hand nv goggles.

[DaTruth]

I'm really looking forward to "Ways MW2 fails part 290"! That will be the one with "infinite nuclear bomb drop that only kills the other team" and "Ultimate camp with smart rail gun that shoots through everything and hits every time". Also infinite care packages returns after 112 patches.

Week after week, I wait in anticipation for the next update! It appears more regularly than HHG flamebait titles!

[vhero]

Your all sad for continuing to own this game. I sold my copy at a nice tidy profit :) Bought for £25 and traded for £35. That's all it was good for. All you people who actually play it really need a reality check.

[STICKzophrenic]

While I haven't played the MP enough to experience all the hacks, bugs and glitches, seeing all these articles just makes me appreciate Halo 3 that much more.

Bungie takes cheating extremely serious, and gamers know it. If they don't know it, they find out soon enough.

Has IW even made any kind of acknowledgment about everything wrong with the MP? I think they patched the Care Package glitch, but that's like putting a Band-Aid on a leaking dam.

[sikbeta]

Keep PAYING for da CODz kiddies, by the next Modern Bugware 3....

[-Alpha]

I wouldn't mind buying MW3, but I have serious trust issues with IW now. I didn't mind buying CoD4, but even some people crapped down on CoD4. Popular games like Halo and Cod are always crapped on by somebody. MW2 on the other hand is making enemies from former fans. And, unlike CoD4, there are much stronger and serious reasons to hate the game.

Again, I simply cannot trust IW anymore to do anything. They need a serious reality check.

@stickz

I absolutely love Halo and Bungie. I really am itching to buy a 360, and I really want to play the damn game. Bungie are amazing, and yeah, they take and support their game like none other. Unlike IW they use the money towards the game.

I'm saddened by how bad IW is in comparison. Bungie has earned a lot of respect.

[mastiffchild]

IW are just so damn lucky that people like their core game(or, acually COD4 since they changed sod all of any import)or they wouldn't play though this type of never ending rubbish. The damn sad thing about it is the way they rested on their laurels and saw nothing wrong in going for the profit at every single turn and sod the gamers who support them.

I've played the SP campaign and some MP at a mates as I refused to buy it out of anger at the price hikes and their treatment of their PC fans-not to mention the lack of respect they showed with their BS reasons for doing so. I can't pretend I think it's in any way correct for a market leading shooter in this day and age, to release with virtually no QA and NO betas. Did they think they'd be able to cope because it's the third time we've been sold this same basic game in three years(at least online it is-zombies from treyarch and Spec Ops from IW don't amount to a new online game really)? Whatever, I'm not regretting my stance one bit-and I LOVE COD for some quick lulz usually.

The way they have become like mini Kotick's themselves is a bit sad, really, and it's sad that they seem to care too little about their own creation to provide dedicated servers for EVERY platform when it was the most obvious, quickest, easiest and most effective way to improve their game in the online arena that made it famous and popular. We gamers made things worse by not supporting our PC brothers as well-not to mention few US gamers caring that Acti warmed up for hiking their prices next time by stealthing them in in the UK. Why do we split ourselves along platform lines just to suit the industry's alterior motives anyway? Are we so blind?

Whatever,it's no crime to lovee, bjuy or still enjoy playing the game-it's a great shooter underneath all the subterfuge and lazy profit whoring-that's certain. The problem is if we, as a community, jump in bed just as readily with them if they do the same, or similar thing next time round and, right now, that's up in the air. It's sure they have a billion fans but there HAS been a backlash because of the online failings of the game so I'm not quite certain if they will get the same momentum behind their next effort. A lot hangs on just how successful other blockbuster shooters are(not your Halos and Killzones as exclusives don't matter to COD-no matter how big as they have double the market to aim for)like the upcoming rebooted MoH and BFBC(which, to me, is just a better game in many ways and has overhauled COD while IW have allowed the series to stall in their greed). If they can start promising a real challenge-even with their next game after these-then IW might just pull their finger out and by the time MW3 comes round it should be new engine and series reboot time, no?

Anyhow, a replay of what we have this time would be incredibly upsetting for us and from IW. No matter how much people like the game it's no longer got the lead it once did and has been the victim of greed at every turn. It's another sad point that what could have been another great step forwards for online shooters ended up being more of an advert for the way greed can corrupt a once honourable developer. Their earlier talent has carried them this time buit a repeat performance could, and should see them scuppered-lets just hope they return to caring about their games as much as their fans do and did.

[Anon1974]

And I'm sure I'm not the only one. Not quite sure why all the hate. I played a match where someone was doing the infinite care package thing. I just switched to Demolition. I have yet to see anyone exploit that glitch in a Demolition or Free-for-all match.

[GameGambits]

I wish they'd fix the panzy bug/panzy glitch/butt hurt noobie fiasco etc.

It's when your team is about to clearly win/winning and everyone gets a connection to server lost error. The whole game goes right out the window. No stats recorded. I'm guessing the host disconnects their modem or just shuts off their console in order to make it occur.

How freaking sad are you to care that much about a loss in a videogame you have to ruin it for everyone? This bug is the one that makes the game unplayable for me. While it maybe happens once in 30-50 games... it's just getting cheated like that that really gets to me.

You win some, you lose some...but man up and take what you earned.

[Syronicus]

Let me guess, you think that final nail in the coffin will be when BF: BC2 is released? Yeah, dream on bud. This game is not going anywhere and will be played for well over two more years. Even COD4 had major hacks and is still being played so why not wish for more fixes and just play the game instead of hating on it. The hate around here is getting old.

@ mastiffchild

Do you own a 360? If so, then how do you explain not buying a game with glitches and higher price points and yet buy a console that the manufacturer admittedly sold to you with faulty hardware and higher price points? Just thought I would ask. I have a 360 and can pass over the fault of the hardware to play the games and in the case of MW2, I can pass over the few glitchers and enjoy a game I like.

[solar]

Valve would've fixed the problems the first time...

[DARK WITNESS]

@ Syronicus

what higher price point are you talking about ? To my knowledge Mastiff does own a 360, but if it helps.. I own a 360 and ps3 as well and I totally agree with stand on the issue.

I had a copy of MW2 which I sold 1st week of Jan to get Darksiders.

my brother still owns a copy still so i thought i would try it again after i heard there was a new patch to see if it made any difference, not surprisingly it didn't.

I have 2 360's and a ps3 and have not had any issues with either of my 360s. I don't really see how you can try to compare that to the bugs in MW2.

the game is a mess, and it's an even bigger mess for anyone who is unfortunate enough to get put into a lobby with a US host.

[Raz]

I've been holding off buying MW2, even though everyone I talk to tells me how great it is.

I've already got COD4 and W@W - I think a third military shooter from Activision would definitely be Overkill. (see what I did there?) ;P

[jessupj]

It's articles like this that just remind me it was the right thing to do to give IW the finger and wait for bad company 2. I'll support devs that care about their fanbase an have a passion for their games.

DICE will be getting my money and respect.

[Bumpmapping]

Epic and IW should team up and make a MP together LMAO!

[Lou Ferrigno]

Halo duty: Master queef chronicles ?

0.60 FPS lol..

[CernaML]

Errm. Epic made Gears of War. Not halo.

[Wrathman]

you droids are deluded to the max!

9 patches for the patchstation.and counting..care package glitch still not fixed.

xbox360 FIXED!

deal with it.

[cronaldo7]

just ban those fools with the funny colored names for starters

how hard is that?

[CernaML]

"xbox360 FIXED!"

You have no idea how wrong you are.

[ChrisW]

It's the damn hackers and cheaters. Such failures in their own real-life. Sad, sad, sad... Kinda makes me wonder how many here are among the damned.

[TomDaSpartan]

Fellow gamer, who sees the real problem. Hackers, modders, glitch abusers are all to blame for this.

They test these games before launch with internal testing crews for days with guys that know how to crack games. This is their job. These evil doers out there doing it for nothing, get a life, draw a picture, plant a tree, make a baby, I don't know do something productive other than ruining this game for the rest of us. Maybe you could try to actually play the game.

Not to leave out some things I don't like about the game such as kill streak reward orgies and dual wielding. I am not a fan of dual wielding. Have you ever tried to dual wield any kind of firearm whether it be a two rubber band guns or pistols? Try two double barrel shotguns. Give me a friggin break! I guess I miss that more realistic feel that COD4 had. Onto Bad Company 2 next month.

[simplyRealistic18]

you can't the player or being curious and using exploit, only the people that make it, in this case infinity ward, if someone hack into the game and did this then your point is right

@ article

they did not fail the game is still fun when you don't encounter the cheaters, but i still blame them and i think they should make the new dlc for the problems we encountered

[nogolis]

When don't they? I love how they have these big attitudes and mindsets that they're the best and everyone else making FPS sucks. Much like Levine and his absurd 2K team with BioShock... When just about every FPS I've played is better than either of the franchises they offer.

Killzone and Resistance are both better franchises, built on a wealth more depth than either of the above franchises. Universal aclaim means nothing... Taylor "no pitch" Swift is super popular with 75% of the world... Yet has no talent and can't carry a tune or play the guitar her rep tells her to hold. Case and point.

[ape007]

bioshock, mw > R and kz

look who inspired who

[Lou Ferrigno]

MAG>KZ2>R2>BFBC2>C OD4>HAZE>MW2>SECTION 8>BIRD SH!T>ape007

[kaveti6616]

Taylor Swift can't play the guitar?

Damn. I thought she was multi-talented. Sigh.

[nogolis]

Talent is subjective... I once knew a plumber who couldn't unclog a toilet for "no pun intended" $*it... Called another one and he got it done right away. Without using Rid-X. Imagine that. I assimilate Swifts talents with that of a plumbers... They both deal in $*IT. One cleans out and the other spouts it.

I read an interesting article lastnight... About Disney. How are they afloat? Their network is one of the lowest in the nelsons. Their movies tank often and yet they bank their whole future on 13 to 17 year old kids. Strange, huh? Viable markets never bleed out when you're done with one another is ready to go from the baiter.

[ape007]

mr 2 bubbbles, "bird sh!t" really??

do really feel that insulted

sucks to be you

[lve2playbball]

@ Nogolis

The fact that you think Killzone & Resistence are better franchises than COD and Bioshock makes you sound like a dumb$h*t. COD 1 brought so much to the table, was the true successor to MOH:Allied Assault. The scale of the battles and the cutscenes were fantastic. COD:United Offensive is probably one of the best campaign's (add-on) in any series. The MP was also great, not to mention the mod "Revolt", which was basically modern warfare multiplayer. COD2 continued w/the great campaigns and had amazing MP. COD 3 was kind of garbage, it was rushed & didn't come to PC so it suffered a little bit. COD 4--there isn't much to say the game was unbelievable, campaign & MP....
Universal acclaim DOES matter. The MP of every COD has been more popular than KZ & Resistance. I liked the resistance campaign, I will admit, but it never kept me like COD. Bioshock is a great original IP and does a lot more than KZ in terms of its campaign. KZ had AMAZING graphics, the best of any shooter, but that doesn't mean the gameplay was better than COD & Bioshock. KZ didn't break any boundaries in terms of gameplay. Here is where a person would say gamepley > graphics, but I don't need to say that b/c it's a given. Neither KZ or Resistance keep a person comin back like COD. Of course this is my OPINION, but the numbers prove that I am right. You can always find more ppl playin COD.....

I'm gonna go out on a limb here...my guess is that all the disagrees I will get will be from PS3 fanboys.

....btw I'm a PS3 fanboy...AND a 360 fanboy.

[nogolis]

@Ivetoplayball

I sound like a dip$H*T because I feel, in my own opinion, that Killzone and Resistance are better franchises? No, you sound like one because you can't accept that at face value.

The fundementals on which all 4 franchises are built on is what I'm talking about. Resistance isn't trying to be anything else other than itself. Killzone 2 isn't trying to be anything its not. Bio Shock tries too hard. It's this and it's that and it's this layerd with that. It has no true identity. None. The whole COD franchise, the ones Infinity Ward helm, try too hard to change the world or be ironic. It doesn't work. Games walk a very fine line right now and to try to be too dramatic is a problem.

There is a fine line to walk, folks. Resistance does it by not adhering to the here and now, yet takes the elements it needs to. Killzone does it by offering up a surel look at life through, in a sense, the bad guys eyes. Face it, we are the bad guys in Killzone in all honesty.

So, on those merits alone... You might not like me. What I do or how I conduct my opinions but I've laid out why I feel my opinion should be valid and you simply came into this by saying I, and anyone who disagrees with you, is a dip$#IT. Sounds sad to me.

[DARK WITNESS]

@ nogolis

well it's all down to opinion, but the thing is in your first post you made it sound a lot more like you were stating a fact which whether the rest of us agree or not is truth.... no supprise you got the other responses back.

I have played all the games apart from the first resistance ( only played resistance 2 ) but I can't say I agree with you.

to me the only really great thing about killzone 2 was it's graphics. what was funny for me was I actually believed the hype for that game.
and resistance... I wont' even go into how much of a turd i thought that game was - still it's just my opinion.

[TheGamer]

Watch this video http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Boy am I glad I have a PS3 ONLY.

[lve2playbball]

@ Nogolis

"The fundementals on which all 4 franchises are built on is what I'm talking about."
You're messing with me right? Killzone offers a "surel(you mean surreal) look at life (through the bad guys eyes)" What a joke of an analysis of the COD franchise (not to mention Bioshock). COD is set in one of the most enthralling storylines of all time. It shouldn't be necessary for me to talk about the history here but you obviously don't care about that. COD put players in the middle of WWII and it had very gripping 'surreal' story lines (like the battle of Stalingrad, Pointe du Hoc & Normandy invasion, fighting against the Afrika Corps)...and you are saying that the fundamentals of the franchise are not strong? People can talk about the re-hashing of the WWII shooter as much as they want, that doesn't take away the fact that COD (infinity ward) set the standard for WWII shooters. Even World at War campaign was fantastic. The original COD & COD2 really made you feel like you were part of the larger conflict. The set pieces of the game were flawless.
How did COD try and 'change the world'? They tried to (and succeeded) re-create the World War II interactive experience. They did a very good job of it and I don't think any gamer who followed COD from the beginning would disagree with that. Yes, Activision is pissing me off, and Infinity Ward kind of has too, but that doesn't make their games unoriginal or lacking in storyline.

"walking a very fine line and trying to be too dramatic"
--guess what? World War II is only one of the greatest tragedies in human history--over 60 million people dead. And you think that they are 'trying to be too dramatic'??
"There is a fine line to walk, folks. Resistance does it by not adhering to the here and now, yet takes the elements it needs to"
---Resistance is OK at best. I played through both of them and my response? Meh.

Your OPINION can be valid, but that doesn't mean the facts you give in support of your opinion are valid. I don't see your opinion as logical. Yes activision is getting worse, but they weren't always bad.

...I had about 3 more paragraphs but they just disappeared for some reason...

[GlitchKing]

Approve the story if you hate the way IW is handling things! ;)

[pimpmaster]

i guess activision is innocent then

[qface64]

i guess you didn't notice the tiny halo over activisions head lol

[hay]

@qface64: That's not halo. It's Kotick's ego.

[GlitchKing]

If I were activision, I would be riding the ass of Infinity Ward to get things finished correctly.

They got all that money, surely they can hire a developer good enough to outsmart the modders.

At least make it extremely hard for someone to mod there game.

[-Alpha]

If for these hacks and issues to get more popular.

Also, why must this be promoted? Why can't you guys wait until the core mechanics are fixed before screwing the game up with these hacks?

It makes things difficult to fix for IW if people keep hacking the game. I'm waiting for the gameplay fixes: lunge distance on melees, underpowered snipers, etc. But with this crap they are never going to get to the gameplay fixes.

Serves IW well I guess. I just don't think it's fair for the gamer who wants to just enjoy a game of MW2.

I feel sorry for the XBL players. They seem to be most affected. On the PS3 I have never seen any of these crazy hacks. We want to fix the gameplay mechanics and believe it or not Bowling says the devs are working on the issues... but with these crazy hacks popping up they take priority over the gameplay mechanics. You guys are just slowing down IW. As much as I hate them, they are at least trying somewhat, and I WANT them to fix the damn game, but it's not going to happen. It really is a sad, sad realization.

[-MD-]

This sure is tarnishing Modern Warfare's name.

[rajman]

Modern Glitchfare 2

[Lord_Ranos]

lol. You got 3 disagrees by modern noobfare fans.

[mfwahwah]

This article has absolutely NOTHING to do with glitches. Call it Modern Hackfare 2 if you want to feel like you're being witty.

[ClownBelt]

Luckily the PS3 version is not as worse as the Failbox. Then again the bots are pretty much used to mediocrity right from the start, so I guess they're immune to these kind of things...

[Lou Ferrigno]

yea the 360 cheerleaders are used to their AAA cheats,AAA bugs,AAA patches,AAA glitches and the infamous AAA LAG lol..

but with their AAA p2p servers you just cant go wrong for them..
in their case this time its both QUALITY AND QUANTITY failures for the heaterbox fanz.

[Megaton]

Don't forget the AAA fees they have to pay in order to access all these AAA features.

[snesfangirl]

and lets not forget that PSN is going to charge for cross game chat when they actually get it up and running...and i am sure they are going to start charging for more than just that one feature as well.

i personally feel that live and PSN both have ups and downs even though you people don't want to admit this, which is sad. it's your own preference to which console you want to play. some people have both consoles and like both because the different controls and game play for each and i personally have played more the multi-platforms depending upon the controls.

[emk2004]

the modern camping trip is still glitching funny stuff. iw failz on every level and people say tryarch is bad iw can fix there own game.

lol modern warfare 3 will take forever to get made because they cant fix mw2.

[mittwaffen]

You think they have the whole dev team working on fixing this?

Its just like socom, they have a few people trying to fix this while the rest of the office is working on new "profit" making titles.

Patches are damage control for them, and not very good damage control.

[DarkArcani]

SOCOM was broken and incomplete from the beginning. Bad coding is what made that game bad, not the game itself. Every time they patched some aspect of the game, another got broken. It had really nothing to do with the players.

as for MW2, the game runs fine. It's just some people have too much time on their hands and have to find ways to exploit the game instead of playing the game. As an example, the "elevator glitch." How would anyone find out how to do that unless they are intentionally trying to go through the walls. Something like that doesn't just accidentally happen.
"Ooops, I accidentally switched my control scheme and when to this one wall at this certain angle while standing and crouching until I climbed up the wall, my bad"

[GlitchKing]

Not that the mods have anything to do with it, but I can't wait til' I buy my first PS3 next week.

I love the 360 controller more and found a device that allows you to play the ps3 with an X360 controller so I will definitely buy that.

Microsoft needs to have a better update service. It's not right that PS3 users get an update patch usually a week before the 360.

[blair_enigma]

if im not mistaken, the xbox 360 controller is a ripoff from the ps3's. right? i mean if you look at it, its just the ps3 one's, its just with the inverted look, making it look like x so that they can justify the x on the xbox, or justifying the controller.?!

[GlitchKing]

Well yeah, they can't legally copy there controller. But what about PS3? We can't just cut them out. It would be like saying they stole there controller from the Dreamcast and the Dreamcast from whoever, the list goes on and on.

I do feel personally that the 360 took the PS3 controller and made it better for at least FPS's.

Not dissing the PS3 controller, just would rather use the X360 controller as it feels better and controls better (at least for me).

[stb]

You feel content with changing batteries every-time they die don't you...that is soo fail playing ps3 with a xbox controls LOL and for sony ever to steal some controllers design could be from nintendo since you mentioning dreamcast there, knowing sony was years there before that console to comes, but in hell these controls look like for you to say otherwise, while indeed stealing stuff could be applied to microsoft...

[Bush]

If I wanted a game where I could jump high and shoot I would buy Halo 3 you think by now Infinity Ward would have fixed all these problems. I traded this game off last month I would think by now and hope COD7 will not have these problems and the game is beta tested to hell before the release. Until then I will go with Battlefield Bad Company 2 and the new Medal of Honor when they are released.

[washingmachine]

wow,why doesnt everyone just stop playn and get there money back.the people have the power lolz

[dkgshiz]

Its been what 9 patches now? You have to give it to IW though. Its finally safe to say that CODMW2 is finally coming out of its alpha stage, and its moving on to its beta stage!

[MajesticBeast]

Where can i join the beta for this game?

[dkgshiz]

Then you can join the beta. Remember its just a beta so expect a few bugs :) Or in this case over 9000 bugs.

[emk2004]

^
its over 9 thousand.

[MajesticBeast]

60$ for a beta! What were they thinking.

[dktxx2]

$$$

[mrv321]

I wonder how the PC version is holding up... after all they are using the VAC system which stops all hacks. /sarcasm

What's wrong with dedicated servers atleast then you can ban hackers or just have a PRIVATE match.

[dkgshiz]

They made out like extreme buggy bandits all the way to the bank.

[fanboi hater]

Came out I haven't even looked at this game. I already have 1000 kills and 20 hours put into a demo and THIS video is the reason for my switch. Props to dice BFBC2 is amazing. In my eyes IW is dead I have lost all respect for them.

[The Iron Sheik]

This game is such a disappointment on so many levels. Thank you DICE for giving us an alternative from that clusterf**k of a game known as Modern Warfare 2. I'm enjoying the Bad Company 2 demo much more than MW2 and I just placed my pre order for BFBC2 along with Heavy Rain and God Of War 3.

[WMW]

are SE and IW competing to see who can fail the most?

[edoman20]

x10 XD

Who is the most LAME Company!!!!!

At least SE wont charge you 70 for the crappy game

[dkgshiz]

What does the PS3 have to do with this piece of dog turd? Its Infinity wards fault for releasing a game that could be considered still in its alpha stage! Either way the idiot in you is to strong to understand :(

[SKUD]

Its still puzzles me how they couldn't build on the greatness that was COD4-MW. It has to end sometime I guess. That time is now.

[HOSe]

pretty messed up!

[rbanke]

It isnt really a glitch if someone is using a hacked 360 to run their own code is it? Hasnt the ability to mutate this into public games been fixed for a while now? (i play on ps3 so i dont know for sure).

People seem really intent to spend a large portion of their time hating this game...

[HOSe]

they couldnt build on the greatness because its built on the same engine, quake 3's ... lawl

[Dawn_Of_Ashes]

ahahaha take that in the azz all of you who overhyped this crappy game.
Infinity ward doesnt even care to give a good finished product.

[nefertis]

im glad i didnt buy this game. Playb3yond

[cronaldo7]

Only on PC and 360

[HOSe]

the spinning skull emblem is pretty bad ass, this jester character must have pu$$y up to his eyeballz

[cronaldo7]

Why Didn't They Beta Test MW2?

[gamingisnotacrime]

sales=/=quality

Fan support does not guarantee that the developer will respect you in return
Activision and IW fail

[CrippleH]

Seriously MW2 needs to be reviewed again. It certainly doesn't deserve a 9.4 on the meta.

[drzmvp554]

yup this is what happens when you get coky and know your game is going to sell regardless of glitches, poor campaign and poor co op mode. Infinity Ward sucks and this the last game i will buy from them, or at least wait months after release to see if their game is actually worth this BS

[HOSe]

i thought the campaign was good, spec ops? dont think ive played past the pit

[thisisxbox]

All those new glitches in that video are JTAG console mods and can only be done with hosted lobbies in private match. Not one of those is public

[GlitchKing]

Sorry, your wrong.

The mods work online through legit matchmaking. But only if the host is the one that has the mod.

The 10th prestige lobbies are back also.

[Halo3 MLG Pro]

I never seen anything like that in a public game. Probably custom. The game is golden if you actually play with some buddies. Join clans or buddies that play this game and play only customs. But that's the beauty of playing on Xbox Live. Just a few clicks and you can have the guy on permanent ignore never seeing him again on a game.

But this game really doesn't matter anymore. Once Halo Reach comes out, every FPS will see a dramatic drop in online gaming.

EDIT, Those mods don't work in public games. Halo 3 has mods also but can't be used in matchmaking. Only in customs.

FAIL!

[GlitchKing]

Your a complete moron who chooses to argue when you truly do not know the facts.

This mod DOES work online. There is a glitch allowing you to turn a private match into a public match having everyone join your private match when they search for a match.

Another way is the JTAG console owner can host a private match perform a glitch and migrate host to another player giving them the settings of the mod. So basically that means when the person who doesn't have the JTAG xbox host a match everyone's settings changes to match there's and the mod works on there console.

Epic Fail. Don't even try replying. I know the facts, you do not.

[blahblah123]

So much for their "proprietary engine."

This is what you get for a half ass scotch tape job of your assets to old id Quake engine tech.

[CBaoth]

and when a non-hyped game like Wolfenstein is released with the same assets, it gets trounced by the reviewers. But COD? Ahh...we'll just add a couple points to the score...

[bjornbear]

they have sunk so low since last COD (which was damn good)

i dno who to laugh at more....IW or SE =P

either way both went down hill because of one reason...*circle*

[Barney Stinson]

The Halo 3 Beta from 2007 has less bugs than MW2. We all fail for buying this game and supporting people who could care less about their defective product. Halo, Killzone, Gears of War, Uncharted, all these games I have played and NONE are as annoying with glitches as MW2.

[DARK WITNESS]

totally agree

[BlindBandit]

All you have to do is lock the game save & problem solve.

[Anti-Fanboyer]

No really how?

[djfullshred]

They should level the playing field, and let everyone play in God mode. Then all matches can go on forever with zero kills. LOL.

[Advari]

I traded it a month ago and threw the instore credits down on MOH

[HINDERIZATION]

Im still happy playing MW1
good thing i didnt get MW2

[ape007]

hardcore haters I've ever seen

[madpuppy]

I HATE a lousy cheater. someone who gets some thrill out of not playing a game without god mode or some sort of unfair advantage that no one else has. Personally, I feel if anyone uses an exploit should have online be disabled with regular players and only be able to connect to other cheating players that have modified the game.

[madpuppy]

when a game is hacked all the little cheating bastards come out and play the game with the cheats rather than skill.

I say, let the poser-players have MW2 and keep them away from the likes of Bad Company 2. If I am going to play a game I would rather loose to talent than some damn poser cheating his pathetic self up the ranks!

[madpuppy]

why would anyone disagree? unless you are a lousy cheater...or stupid.

[RumbleFish]

OMG! I am so glad, I never thought about buying this piece of crap!

[Subzero200x]

lol game developers.

[newflesh]

With or without the glitches, fact remains that MW2 is a total failure, Gameplay wise. Went back to CoD4/

[jpod]

How does IW fail for hacks that people aren't suppose to be able to do, without modding their 360?

[QQcrybaby]

I refused to buy the game after they shat on PC gamers and can see that was a very good choice.

[W-k]

call of duty ever year holy fukc,how much more do we neeed!!!im sick of call of duty's been playing it since day 1!! ENOUGH!!!! why do they think i need a new cod every year i just got mw2 and now cod7 is on its way.screw this , cod for me from now on is a rent I'll give my money to blockbuster if even that.i got bored of this game 4 weeks after i got it,maybe its because i played the hell out of every cod game that was released from the ps2 days to now i cant take anymore i dont feel the need to keep up with cod its becoming boring,i just cant play the same game all the time,just as we know theirs a new cod this year there will be a new one next year and the year after that, and so on until everyone hates it.

[SB_tanker]

Oh dear what ever shall IW do??? They"ve got they're hands full!

[cjflora]

"Game Developer Infinity Ward has failed yet again with there latest release, Modern Warfare 2."

While I agree that MW2 was more or less a failure, please don't write if you can't f&@cking spell "their", ok? I stopped reading after the first sentence because of the utter lack of knowing the difference between the different "there's" that my own 8 year old has figured out by now.

[cellfluid]

u people need 2 stop playing this game.because they r not patching the game they r patching u..... u r all being reprogramed due 2 da updates that r being issued..... (sleepers) u have been warned

[Psycho_Mantis]

Im so glad i sold this pice of crap a few days ago. Yes i do admit that i used to love COD, *Caugh* when it was actulley good! *Caugh*
But i tell you whats so bad is that how can i even enjoy a game without lag, someone cheating or something els i dont know whats going on everytime i play a game! Its unplayable!
Ill never buy another COD game again ever in my life. Infinity Ward when you put out a game please make sure that you fix all the damn bugs first! What, two years wasnt long enough for you? I guess you just care about the money right? Ahh, ok i see now... your just as bad as anyone els who milks the shi* out of everything els.

[BX81]

Yeah I noticed the care package glitch with the emergency airdrop was still going on. Also for the first time yesterday I saw a player who was doing a glitch that allowed him to have 4 weapons. I also saw for the first time a couple of days ago a kid who looked like he was throwing semtex but was shooting out of his hand. I play this game only because my friends have it. I had high hopes and was extremely pissed with the out come. I never thought I would say this but I enjoy playing KZ2's multiplayer more. Good thing heavy rain comes out in a couple of days.

[Enjoi915111]

well i was going to play tonight......but if i get into a game like that im afraid ill snap...lol

REPORT THAT KID FOR Hacking!!!!! idiot supplied us with his GAMER TAG ahahhahaha ill send that sh!t straight to MS...

[Henry Cain]

How can anyone enjoy a game with cheats like this. I sold my copy along time ago. I hope PS3/360 owners go out and buy BFBC2. Its a much better game than MW2.

[MysticStrummer]

Well done, self.

[DelbertGrady]

Kind of glad I waited for BC 2 instead of buying this.

[Surt]

@Ivetoplayball
UNIVERSAL ACCLAIM DOES NOT MATTER. Smoking can kill you. that's a fact. Yet thousands like to smoke. Britney spears has no talent, yet she's gotten universal acclaim. So no universal acclaim does not matter. Ten thousand people's opinion that the backstreet boys and n stink were going to last forever doesn't really make it true.

[Surt]

I threw my mw2 in the garbage. Was to angry and embarrassed to trade it in, and show someone that I actually brought this crap.

[1800GETOWNED]

they failed when they first started to make games in multiplayer. Infinity ward = epic fail!!!

[pustulio]

COD4 was so f*cking awesome it was just "the" game

This is a retared piece of crap done by 10 year olds i mean not even gears has so many glitches, bugs and hacks.

[arakouftaian]

But this game is worse and moré broke

i mean people aré patetic
and webpage aré full or Bs.
I mean many 10 out of 10
to this game that was a 8
or to be good aNd kind a 8.5
bt a 8 is to be fair
with a big warning
online could be very laggy
and verry glichy

I mean killzone2
had lil error
that they fix in no time
all the gliches on kz2
fixed in no time
3 map packs in no time
and people hate on killzone
why?
Because it make halo and cod4 look and fell old gen

fu€8 you people
f€8@ you webpages
f!@". Everybody

killzone 2 #1
fps. The best of the best

[retrofly]

(waves tiny flag with "MW2 fan")
I feel like a minority, but I have to say I'm still having tonnes of fun with frineds on MW2. If I end up in a hacker match I backout and find a new one. There are thounds of matches goign on all the time, I clocked up 10d's on MW2 and only come accross about 6 hacked lobbies out of about 2000.

Meh.

[iistuii]

The idiots on here are. Check out the amount of people playing it. It's way above anything else and we all still enjoy it. Don't let the toolbags on here sway you.

[chidori666]

what a fail game IMO.

[cpuchess]

I am ready to trade mine in on Bad Company 2 in March...

[AEtherbane]

You can just smell quality game in the air

[nutbear96]

You know what else really pisses me off? I know this pisses everyone else off but when I run around with a noob tube and rpg and someone kills me but I've already shot it and it doesn't kill them after I've died! IT SUCKS! And If for some reason you're sniping on a small map (to get challenges) and someone does the same thing but you're bullet never reaches them. It's as if as soon as you die the bullet you fired is deactivated or something! My k/d% would be probably 0.05 higher! I'm not kidding! I snipe alot and I AK-47 noob tube and RPG alot!

Hey! Just out of interest has anyone played System Shock 2? ITS AWESOME! Download it off Pirate Bay or Vuze or something, ITS AWESOME!

[sid4gamerfreak]

wow, infinity ward is such a fail.
good to see bad company 2 pulverising the already weak modern borefest 2

[Rowsdower]

despite all the b*tching going on here

[iistuii]

And i never have any problems with it. Most played game on every format, and that's what upsets everyone on N4G. K2, U2, MAG and all other shooters are still in the shadows of the master ha ha, get over it. And when the DLC comes out it'll kick start it all over again.....bring it on.

[arakouftaian]

I never say mw2 is a 0 out of 10
is just a solid 8 with a laggy and glychy multiplayer

and whats yor point?
On how many noobs play a game
i can find
full 256. People games faster
than a 16 people games on mw2
and yes i say faster
how can is that posible?

I play the games
not the numbers
bt people like you
upset me
tha cant see
quality thats all
thats why i say
f€&@ you
keep buying mw3
i will be playing quality
someday you will understand
mean you cant be that
d€&@ or ret€@@&
for life

[Brionkendo]

I admit i had a good amount of fun with this game, but now i'm just really bored with it. which happends with a lot of games.. i also could not gt into the whole run fast perk and commando people from ten feet.

p.s. I also LOVE that your name is rowsdower! MST3000 will live forever!

[ImmortalLegend]

but I seriously can't wait to see what Treyarch comes out with. I really like MW2, but these glitches are ridiculous and I can't believe I paid $60 for this game. SMH!

[Ginn]

Modded Warfare, lol.

[SephireX]

MW2 is not a tactical multiplayer shooter. Team matches don't feel like team matches because players are all over the map and it isn't realistic and there is no method in the madness. Halo 3's multiplayer was at least tactical in team matches. Anyway, this game is best played on the PS3 seen as people are not playing with modded games online. I could easily mod my 360 and download a hacked version of mw2 and be invincible online but what's the point? Its no fun without a challenge. Plus I'd be banned from xbox live which I don't want.

[Brionkendo]

well it does not matter... cause every 12 year old will continue playing it. played the game... got all the nukes and everything.... then got tired of being frustrated with the game... I can only get dual 1337'd so many times before i throw the game across the room...

so i sold it. and i'm jsut waiting for BF:BC 2...

[N2NOther]

I had such hopes for this game. But it's terrible. In every conceivable way. Even without the glitches they designed it with so many ill-thought ideas. One man army sounds like a great idea, until you have an genius constantly using it with noob-tubes. Then you have the fact that people don't even play the game for the win anymore because they either camp for nukes or just any kill-streak. The game just isn't fun for people who actually want to play. Instead it caters to obnoxious griefers. That's why I went back to COD4.

[Fairchild Channel F]

Hey Activision\IW, fix your mess of a $60+ dollar game. Then you'll have half a leg to stand on next time your idiot prez opens his mouth about consoles being too expensive............again.

[omkire]

I played last night for 4 hours on my 360 and everything is fine. I didnt run into any hax. My neighbor has a PS3 and he said the hax are still really bad.

[OC_MurphysLaw]

You must feel proud that you searched and found a way to cheat the game. People like you ruin the online experience for all.

[Surt]

The only tool on here is you. The people here don't hate mw2 because as you said "its the most played" they hate it cause it's the most bugged game to date. $60 for a pile of poo.

Like I said before just because its popular doesn't make it good. If that was the case wii would be the greatest console ever created. LOL "but wii games are fun!" I don't play games for fun. I'm competitive, and worthy challenges is what I call fun. (demon souls, Mag, kz2, BC2, madden, Blaz Blu, socom) BUT THAT'S JUST ME.

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

I REGRET 100% for buying this game.

Worst COD ever. Online is just very dumb.

[darkequitus]

The reason why I rented it, played the SP and gave it back. Got stung on the last two COD games. MW1 beta was great on the 360 and had high hope. Then when the cheater came on, forget it

[sid4gamerfreak]

im a pc gamer and i definately hate the lazy ass developers and thus the game itself. Its not worth 60 dollars

[Xman1231]

i find it kind of sad on how people complain about the game but yet they still play it. every one was saying IW was the best now people are saying IW is Crap (Can't Say the word i really want to say) people just need to make there mind up.

[alexg89]

wow i hate the hackers that play games they make the game no point in playing infinity ward needs to fix this fast :(

[saint_john_paul_ii]

"glitcher.net"

I fukin LOLED

[FxckOSX]

when concerned into the VALVE.........

everybody fell down to world of Shxt.

[kghapa]

*sigh* this is why I stopped playing

[dkgshiz]

http://www.youtube.com/watc... what a great game!

[Leonesaurus]

This game is.... well, how should I put it... F^CKED =__=

[JackBNimble]

I'll never play MW2 again but for other reasons.......MAG. I can never go back now ,it would be like a serious down grade.

And anyone who says MAG has bad graphics must think MW2 is like the Atari 2600.

[XabiTheHumble]

i hope infinty ward is happy with the money they have earned with this failure of a game.....
