Modern Warfare 2 Riot Shield Glitch Makes Players Invincible

There's a gameplay-balancing wrecking Modern Warfare 2 Riot Shield glitch in the game right now, with no date in sight for a fix just yet.

How long until they fix this glitch? Get with it Infinity Ward!

More COD exploits. They need to tighten stuff like this more quickly for a competitive shooter.

The way to counter this glitch right now is simple. Make sure not to have a Vtol Killstreak on and if players see the opposite side with riot shields. Starting using Molotovs on them. That counters the glitch my team was already a victim of this nonsense. Ended up reporting the player for exploitation of the game.

I experienced this two days ago. The entire opposing team was unkillable. I don't know if it was related to the riot shield, but I joined a late game and would see the opposing team run towards us/objectives carefree. I would shoot at them and didn't matter how many times, or where, none of my hits would register same for my teammates shooting at them.

There's seriously a lot wrong with this game, that I regret buying it. Sometimes I feel like it rewards cheaters and encourages it. How I pray the rumors of Sony making socom is true. Shoot, I hope they make a new fps game in general. How I miss the days of Sony first party fps games: dedicated servers, smooth gameplay, very little cheating.

FYI: I treat cod like a smart phone, I only get it every other year or two. I skipped vanguard after I played coldwar and experienced what I'm experiencing in mw2 in Coldwar. Blacks ops 4 actually ran smoothly and I did really well with a 2 k/d and over a 1,000 wins to losses. But it just seems lag advantage and cheating plagued coldwar and every cod after it.

Everyone is acting like this glitch is easy to do… it is if the enemy team sends in a VTOL Jet. This needs to be unlocked first. Then someone on the opposing team needs to have it equipt and an 8 killstreak… I have yet to see someone send in a VTOL because of this.

This glitch isn’t as widespread as people are saying. I was going to do it for fun… because I don’t care, it’s a video game not a highly acclaimed sport, but then I remembered I never see VTOLs.

In modes where death is end of the round, it can be frustrating… odds of this happening are slim.

Modern Warfare 2 Adds Pay-to-Win Items With Thermal Scope and Merlin the Dog, Here's How They Work

Some alleged Modern Warfare 2 pay-to-win elements were recently added, see what they are here and how they work.

The DOG is legit Broken if ur hiding in a room or grass he turns his head even if ur behind a closed door he turns his head and barks letting them know where u at thats PAY TO WIN!!!!!

I hope all the assholes who buy these get stuck in lobbies with each other. I skipped new COD games for a long time and a short time with MW2 convinced me to go back to on a hiatus.

With the skill-based matchmaking (engagement-based would be more accurate), I imagine this will make the game even more miserable for most players when the matchmaking has decided it's time for a tough lobby.

I played the OG MW2 recently on the Series X and it's disheartening how much more fun it is. I don't even care about the balance issues anymore. lol

PunksOnN4G408d ago

My friends dont play with me anymore i am former pro player and i even streamed on MLG for RX gaming the team i played for... My KD is always high 5-6kd my friends who i went to school with are not good wht so ever so with SBMM kicking in its always putting us in TOP TIER lobbys and they cant hang now they dont even tell me when they getting on LOL

ManMarmalade408d ago

I recently started playing OG MW2 again and I'm having a blast. Feels like I'm in high school again.

fr0sty408d ago (Edited 408d ago )

Welcome to COD under MS. It's all downhill from here, they're going to be looking to make that $68B back as fast as possible, at any expense to the player.

StarkR3ality408d ago

The deal hasn't even closed yet you pleb. CoD has been doing stuff like this since the loot boxes in WWII.

Nice try though pal.

TheColbertinator407d ago

Activision has never needed Microsoft or anybody for that matter to act like greedy bastards

PunksOnN4G408d ago

why did my 2nd comment about SBMM get downvited LOL?? Do we have people who Enjoy trash SBMM tbh make sense it caters to LOW KD players and u will never get better playing with the same trahs everyday LOL

andy85408d ago

Probably gonna see more of this BS once the deal is fully done..Gotta recoup that 70B.

Jin_Sakai408d ago (Edited 408d ago )

Look at Minecraft. The game hasn’t went anywhere since Microsoft bought them. No 4K, no 120fps, no graphics pack, and no Ray Tracing. Just some new biomes, mobs, and more skins as usual.

Same could be said about Rare. Who knows what will happen to Activision once they’re under Microsoft’s roof. We can all take a good guess though.

PunksOnN4G408d ago

TBH they did update it by accident then they pulled the update down on xsx and xss i remeber the XSX version having ray tracing but the S did not. Then after people seen that it was updated it was removed that same day

peppeaccardo408d ago

No way !!! Nobody wouild think they would monetize on items that weak asses will use to get advantage during multiplayer action !!! I would never think they would do that ... I mean is a free to play game after all ! /S
Wait once M$ will put their greasy hands all over Activizion and you will see what awaits the "lucky" ones who will play this slot machine of a game. Sooooo Lame !

jznrpg408d ago

They way it works is you give them money and more money and more money.

anast408d ago

It's a true phenomenon that people haven't figured this out yet.
