cheating?

greenman09

just played a game of Sabotage There and some guy was gettin emergency airdrop after airdrop ended with 55kills to5deaths. i'm baffled as to how he got so many in a row is this another glitch or just blatant cheatin? these guys weren't yanks they were from the north. i filed a complaint but who knows what will happen. was annoyin to watch?

dicey1664

this might be what he was at, wouldnt be 2 sure though :mad:

Video removed by mod as it is a tutorial on glitching

You should go for a long bath and think about what you done!

Seriously though, glitching is not cool.
Do what you want in private matches, for the laugh or whatever but doing it to boost your ranking is real low!

Atavan-Halen

Nah, I didn't do it to boost my rank. Just seen the vid and was curious to see if it would work. Tried to do it and failed then just wasn't bothered.

I did it tonight in a few games with the emergancy air drop, i found that it dosen't add to your killstreak challenge tho, you don't even get that pop up thing (air drop in bound)

All in all air drops are **** and i never use them but on a side note i was off in the corner of the map on rundown and came accross some dude running in circles, i said "What are you playing at?" He replied "Getting my maraton pro" Classic!

is this only on xbox?

Certainly sounds like glitching but in Sabotage theres not normally time for this. That particular glitch looks uber complicated and would ultimatly take a player out of a team in which case the opposing team should be able to romp the bomb to victory. This is obvious when someone drops out and the teams go to 5 Vs 6, in general the bigger team wins as its a war of attrition. Thats why you dont get many boosters either on sabotage as the game will end quickly if everybody is not pulling their weight, still, theres always one, or in boosters case, 2!

Just another example of the mw2 community ruining the game

Yup saw it on PS3 tonight in a MTDM game! I left the game, counts as a loss but to be honest I'd had enough of care package after care package... and he had a spotter with him killing anyone who tried to take him out! :mad:

Thanks for this!

This is what ruins the game for me!!
You play the game and want to achieve something fairly such as reach top prestige, get the nuke or whatever,

Then these idiots come along with their glitches/boosting and ruin it for everyone else!

Something should really be done about it, I know the glitch will be patched and that but still, not fair that people get away with it at all!

r3nm0r3RASCAL

They wouldn't have put it in the game if they didn't want people to use it!

This is not in the game. It's a bug in the coding, and exploiting this bug is against the spirit of the game.

r3nm0r3RASCAL

In war there is no "spirit of the game"

greenman09

there are loads doin this now and its really takin away the enjoyment of the game

Codofwar

There might be no spirit to the game or that but there is such a thing as not being a prick and preventing other people from enjoying the game so you can just cheat, it may be a glitch or boosting but anything that you deliberatly do to give yourself an unfair advantage over others in the game is cheating, its only immature pricks and kids that do it.

greenman09

i may just put the game down with all the cheatin and glitches that are goin on. gettin quite bored with it all present

Not The Real Scarecrow

Had it tonight, went to the aholes gamertag, surprise , surprise... in his bio it had the olde msg me if you want to get to 10th prestiege.
Justt don't understand this mentality at all. Half the fun of the game is ranking up and trying to get to 10th prestiege, feckin typical of the younger generation. No patience at all at all, in my day....

I was playing a game of team deathmatch on derail, one of my team was respawning with tactical insertion and his friend was just knifing him every time he respawned and eventually he got a nuke.. Sussed this because it was only bout 3 or 4 minutes into the game and he had gotten a nuke without using any killstreak.. I mailed him and told him what i taught of him.. He didn't even try to deny it.. :mad: Another lad on 3rd person cage match wanted me to let him get aload of headshots.

Not The Real Scarecrow

what the hell is this stupid glitch anyway?Went back on and every game bar 1 there were loads of aholes doing it. Constantly uavs and predator missles, absolute nightmare and totally unplayable. Game is totally destroyed until this is fixed.

dicey1664

the more people that are doing it, the quicker its going to get patched, really hope so anyway:mad:

r3nu4l

If these people put as much time into playing the game as they did finding ways to glitch they would probably 10th prestige faster

I don't mind people discovering glitches at all but showing the world how to do it is lame. Reminds me of the old days when real hackers would release a proof-of-concept script and all the clueless script-kiddies would just take the script and use it anywhere they could to try and pretend they were 1337! :rolleyes:

jetpack101

There is a lot of this going on at the moment.

I figured that the more this stuff happens the quicker IW would fix the problem. Boy was I wrong.

The game needs a good update. Problems that need addressing (for me anyway)

1. Not finding a lobby to play or a member of your party getting kicked out just as the game starts.
2. Getting hit with 2 bullets and dying even though you emptied your mag in to them.
3. Getting put into a US lobby and getting totaly raped due to lag.
4. People hacking the system to put up a fancy name. If they can do that what else can they do.
5. The care package hack.

Its all getting out of control and IW are doing nothing about it.

I tried the care package hack last night and I was surprised how easy it was to do. It makes you sick.

We have 3 x-boxes in the house and last night it was impossible to get a game together. I switched to NTL 30Mb broadband last Monday and while the lag has greatly improved. Playing together is almost impossible.

Don't know what to do at this stage.

GavRedKing

Its a joke, didnt want to satrt a new thread and glorify this but last night in sabotage on the PS3 in about 10-15 games it was done by 3 seperate people in a couple of games the funny thing was that these people were on my team and ended with good K/D ratios but we lost the matches as it was usually 2 people working together.

Its a joke really and is making the game useless, if i play in a game and this is happening i have no problem leaving it and taken the loss, i even sent the guys a message saying what are ye doing, and they got pissy saying i was a fag for not trying it.

Idiots.

greenman09

i tried this thing to shame.:( i couldn't get it right. so i don't know do you have to stay alive to do the care package or it while you have it when re spawned. i intend hunting down these Bastards using this. the quicker its fixed the better. fully agree with bein shoved into US lobbies. screwed every time on the obvious lag

I'd go with the problem may be ntl, dueing peak hours the xbox can be sometimes unplayable at about 9ish onwards.
It seems to happen after you play a few games & ntl's throttling
I have 2 xboxs here an myself & nephew have played side by side for hours during the day no probs, and the cheating was massive(put him on the other side in s&d lol)

cableguy.ie

I was having a FFA game last night.
And not only did i have some one use the care package glich but another 2 were boosting as well.

Why do people do this anyway.

dicey1664

they just patched it on ps3 but there is a simple way round it, looks like this glitch isnt gona go away anytime soon:mad: care package glitch that is

You are on the money with the time that we start having problem.
We can play all evening then at about 9:00 it finds 0/50 games.

If I log off then back on at about 10 then it seems to have sorted it-self out.

The funny thing is, NTL are promoting there Broad-band aiming it at gamers.
I'm hoping to get a new router in the coming days (Linksys WRT120N) so hopefully this will resolve the NAT issues. The WRT120N has been recommended to me by a number of people as the best router for connecting to Live and online gaming.

I would have pissed myself laughing.

How many of there team then came on in the lobby and started " you cheating F*****s, there's no way you got a nuke"

The last two comments seem to be a reflection of this game, I use to love playing COD put the last couple times the sky has been full of harries and choppers. The game is lossing out big time here, and the age limit of the players boosting and glitching could also be called into question.

Good luck guys trying to get honest players to play the game.

Thats takes the fun out of it!

At least some of the cheating has been taking out of the game with the latest patch, on PS3 now, not sure when xbox gets it;

We've updated the PS3 version of Modern Warfare 2, including the following fixes:

- Care Package, Emergency Airdrop, and Sentry Gun marker grenades sprint speed normalized.
- Fix for "infinite care package" exploit.
- Sentry Guns: Improved placement detection, preventing cases of Sentry Guns inside geometry.
- Model 1887: Bling using Akimbo and FMJ combination now has same range and damage as non-Bling Model 1887s.
- Fixes to prevent various XP hacks.

Xbox 360 Players:
This patch has been pulled from Microsoft certification to add in additional fixes. We'll update once it has re-entered certification.

Well as I've said before, playing Mercenary team deathmatch reduces the amount of glitchers and boosters to some extent.

On the PS3 at the weekend I came across a few infinite-care pack glitchers but for the most part my games were glitcher and booster free

However, yes, the so-called infinite-care package glitch fix doesn't work...they're still at it

Don't know whats going on with Domanation. Of late its almost impossible to get a game in it. You could be sitting in the lobby for ages waiting to join a game. End up giving up and playing TDM or SnD

It seems that the ever hated care package glitch is not gone in fact PS3 users have found a bypass that works on the Xbox360 this means when the patch drops the care package glitch will be going even better than ever Throwing a spanner in the works of IW as this the most reported MP glitch right now gets new life so don't think you will see an end to this glitch for another month or so
