Modern Warfare 2 glitch opens Xbox Live Arcade games for free

If you own a copy of Call of Duty
: Modern Warfare 2, or even have the TOTALLY FREE demo that was released last week, then you’ll be able to take advantage of a highly unusual glitch and play full versions
of five downloadable games from the Xbox Live Arcade service.

lol'd if Microsoft takes those who downloaded free XBLA games to court.

[KillaManiac]

Gotta love games that are so glitched out that they have a glitch disease and spreads to other games.

So if Halo Reach has a crazy glitch...I would say its b/c of CoD MW2!

Seriously...so glitched MW2 was and is.

[Hideo_Kojima]

MW2 is a national security threat.
It could even cause stored nuclear weapons to glitch and detonate themselves.

[R2D2]

EA + Sony = WIN

NINTEDO + Wii = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[badz149]

I think this is the only GOOD thing this glitchy game ever do for gamers! free games FTW!! :P

[likedamaster]

Crap like this will get you banned. Seriously, don't try it.

[TheDeadMetalhead]

Is this true?

I might go download the demo just to see.

[nickjkl]

this is old whyh are all these old articles getting approved

[CaptainAmerica]

because the approval system is glitched thanks to MW2

[FACTUAL evidence]

XBL is so unstable it's not even funny. Remember the free full retail glitch for shadow complex?....MS is really on the hit list.

[dabri5]

That glitch was the developers fault. Not Microsoft. Same with this one.

[PSfan360]

XBL needs to be revamped

[PSfan360]

Gonna try this just for the achievement.

[East_Coast]

wow it just never ends for MS.

Black Ops can't come soon enough.

[pr0digyZA]

Lol thats one way for people who bought modern warfare 2 to get their money back :P

[KilL7roCitY]

don't want get my account banned..

[AliTheBrit19]

Yeah

Probably not worth the risk.

[mrcash]

you cant get banned, it's not your fault.

[spooky205]

to karatechop in world of warcraft. One of his guildes was sent a GM item via mail and karatechop used it for lulz. He one shotted a million hp boss. Guess whos account got banned? Not karatechops but his entire freaking guild pending investigation. When they realized it was a gms fault they still permabanned karatechop for using a item that was against the "rules of the game." So yeah, if MS feels like blizzard and wants to ban you to make an example of you they sure as hell will.

[Otheros00]

LOL!!

[big_silky]

MW2 is the most broken game I think I've ever seen. I literally can't remember there being a more glitch filled game.

[dabri5]

I think part of that is there are so many people playing it, any glitch that would have gone unnoticed on another game is found with this one.

[MAG_SVER]

such a crappy & broken game, I played it & beat it within a week or two then I sold it to EBgames for $45 plus $10 trading credit in November same month of release.

I'm not "attacking you, just curious as to why you would kinda sneaky "Defend Such a Gimmick Product".. in a lot of eyes without many playing it or not I'm pretty sure those glitches would present them self sometime sooner or later.

So it's not because of it being played so much as it is to it being Rush During Development to make money & not "SATISFYING THE USERS NEEDS"

SPEC-OPS with CO-OP was the best part of the GAME

Anything less IS UNCIVILIZED!!!!

[dabri5]

Not defending per-say. I know for a fact (since I am a programmer by trade and am friends with a bunch of people in the industry - plus my wife is a game tester), just how many bugs are shipped in even the most high profile games. This isn't anything new. To get a game approved for print, there can't be any known bugs that crash the system, harm the system (delete/corrupt files), or break the game(oh, now it is literally impossible to finish this level).

Games ship with bugs. I think MW2 has a ton of them. Thats not good. I can say that if MW2 had the user base of half the people it does now, over half of those bugs would go undiscovered and unknown about. Thats all. The same is true with every game.

[badz149]

not trying to bust a bubble here but;

"any glitch that would have gone unnoticed on another game is found with this one."

like seriously?? most of the glitches in the game were very basic and could of easily found and fixed BEFORE launch if only they had this thing called BETA!! I'm with MAG_SVER on this one. just stop trying to defend or justify any cause for MW2! IW/Activision screwed up big time with the game development plus over-priced DLC for some new maps+old maps and these made many people upset! I know it's still the best selling FPS ever but it's undoubtedly the WORST!

[dabri5]

Why does everyone have 5 bubbles now?

[Shadow Man]

:D X100000!!!

[artsaber]

That it breaks games in close proximity to it? Isn't that damn near the definition of a virus/worm?

[PSfan360]

MW2 broker your mother.

[SmokedOut]

It isnt worth having your console banned for a few crappy arcade games.

[Chnswdchldrn]

man xbox live is totally worth it

its so flawed you get free games

niiiicee

[TheColbertinator]

Its just MW2 not Live.Keep that in mind

[Chnswdchldrn]

if that were the case couldnt you get free psn games if you had a copy of mw2 as well?

[Shadow Man]

Killzowned!

[Jayjayff]

of why n4g is such a funny place people getting owned lolz

[Fishy Fingers]

Cheers for the week old heads up.

[Tikicobra]

People who call MW2 "broken" are just jaded buttholes. Overrated, yes, but it's perfectly playable and currently has very few to no glitches.

[waterboy]

then it wouldnt have the sales to back it, it would just have a good rating

[SixZeroFour]

ppl play it cause its easy to play...that doesnt mean its not broken

[RyuDrinksTheDew]

this is old, but still hilarious.

[dkgshiz]

MW2 is basically just a virus. It rots 12 year old brains and makes arcade games free.

[DarkSpawnClone]

Hmm maybe if they took more time with the games and lets say not release one EVERY YEAR!.

[Rubberlegs]

You do know they have different devs that work on Call of Duty?

[GuruStarr78]

Cool, I just got MW2 for free when I bought some guys 360 elite off of craigslist a couple of weeks ago.....gotta try this (if its not patched) when I get home from work tommorrow morning.

[monkey nuts]

And it works. A 'friend' tried it last week just to check if it was true and played a trial of metal slug xx that was completely unlocked. You have to boot the cod demo, start the game then quick launch in to a snk trial game. The 'friend' deleted the demo though soon after because he suspected ms may having been fishing for new console sales. ;)

[Scotland-The-Brave]

You bought a used xbox?
Ouch!

[shqype]

If it is going to RROD regardless, why pay full retail price?

[HorriblePanda]

Just wow...and if M$ was gonna ban people for playing free games the to hell with them @ waterboi... do you even know what over raeted means? I really doub t that since your running your mouth saying it has sales to back it from being over rated well I suggest that you go and look it up...and make sure your not thinking of under rated... use your brain before you post mouth breather

[marichuu]

This deserves a medal... made me lol a little inside :D

[xkarxfreddy]

does dis still work? and can you get acheivements wit it?lol

[VictoriousB13]

NSA could use MW2 as a weapon against other countries.

[rbluetank]

MW2 as a weapon against other national....lol i rented MW2 and finished the SP. the SP was the worst SP i have played in along time.. "rail shooter entire SP" that is what it felt like to me. it reminded me of COD3. i played the MP for about 8hrs. everbody was hiding. i was like an elephany wearing a red dress as i ran around looking for people to shoot. all i can said for sure about MW2 is that i am cool!!!! it just amazes me when i hear all these stories about this game.

[frostyhat123]

OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Shoko]

Lol, is it just me, or does XBL always get infiltrated somehow? Not saying that every time is it's fault, but like, there's always somethin wrong with it xD

[NeloAnjelo]

ANOTHER GLITCH!!!!!!!???? (sarcasm)

Well it is MW afterall.

[kasasensei]

There was a bigger glitch in the first update of Forza3, it let the player play online and do all the thing a gold live subscriber can do, for free, as long as he did not exit the game. That was fun. :D

[ReBurn]

This story is weeks old.

[hiredhelp]

And this ladies and gentlemen, is a lesson of why microsoft are rubbish at security. just like the windows.

like to see that glitch being tryed on ps3. whaaaaa haaaaa haaaa.

free games for all yupeeee.
on the otherhand without fully reading this article if the headline is right its worrying to think if they can hack into live. what they maydo to your acounts.!!!

[djfullshred]

Haha, MW is so glitchy, it even glitches other games. Classic.
