Modern Warfare 2 Patched to Correct Javelin Glitch

Posted by Kyle on Tuesday, December 8th

Gamers frustrated by a glitch in the year's best selling game, Modern Warfare 2, can now download a patch that corrects the problem. At least if they own the PS3. The Xbox 360 patch is in the works and awaiting certification by Microsoft before it goes live. “For those playing [MW2] on Xbox 360. The same fixes that are in 1.06 are coming to you, it’s currently in Microsoft cert. Out of my hands," Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling said.

When exploited, the glitch allows players to sort of suicide bomb their way to killing people. The range of the explosion can bring several players down. Another glitch, which provides players with unlimited care packages, was also patched in the update. "PS3 update 1.06 is the javelin fix, care package glitch fix, and addresses areas where players could get into geo. Like rocks on Afghan," Bowling said on Twitter.

While PS3 gamers are required to update their games in order to play online, Xbox 360 users that continue to use the glitch will have their accounts suspended for two weeks. Microsoft took the hardline policy, despite the glitch being a part of the game. Sony chose against banning or suspending PSN accounts.
