    Is this only happening on xbox? I was playing on PS3 earlier for ages and i didn't see any of this madness.

    I dont see all the fuss, if you don't want to play in a shiity match just quit. The very minute I see rust coming up I just leave th elobby and look for a new game. In fairness it only happens maybe one in 10 matches. If it was every game I'd freak. If you're really psiied off just report a few people.Nothing will come of it but its a good way to blow off some steam.

    Strangely enough I only seen the spamming of noob tubes on afghan only tonight .Just left.Any of the rust games everyone was well behaved.

    From my own experience I seen little of the javelin/hiding in the rocks glithces so my experience of MW2 has been excellent(apart from the fekkin witches and dog rapists:D!)

    Only thing that's pissing me off atm is the 1887 Akimbo. Bastards seem to be able to kill you from 20 yards away with that thing.

    yeah that gun needs a serious nerf. The only unbalanced weapon in the game IMO.

    Basically you can turn a retail console into a homebrew devkit.

    These Mods Infect Everyone That Plays In The Game
    You Can Start New Matches And You'll Have It Then When People Join
    You Will Infect Them Then They Start One And It Keeps Going...

    Yeah - the glitch is from a modded xbox and contains some scripting that copies the glitch to other xbox's online caches. When they go off and play another match, they infect everyone there.

    Supposedly, if it happens, you should reboot your xbox to clear the online cache.Though your probably likely to go straight back into a glitched match when you go back online - they are all over the place. Saw it on Headquarters Pro last night and just switched it off - not worth wasting my time until its fixed.

    Its crazy three nights in a row its happened so staying away until its fixed I think. Do the people who run up massive points actually get to keep them considering they will have to leave at some point?

    You know I think I've finally figured a solution to these bastards. Blinged out P90's with Akimbo and Fast Rate of fire. Throw in Cold-Blooded Perk for extra. Pretty much equal to the 1887's I've found - u do have a slight disadvantage but I think its about 50:50 when I go up against them

    turns out you can get banned for this as what ever hack used infects everyone playing on these private games and will be used when you host a game yourself.

    played one of these unlimited ammo games on xbox yesterday. was completely mental. just chaos. javelins and grenades being fired like machine guns. claymores everywhere. Pretty funny.

    Then when the game finally finished we suddenly were in a hardcore free for all game on Rust (was playing groundwar) and well that was just unplayable as there was actually two teams.

    Serious glitch going on.
