    2 games I've played today. One was supposed to be a TDM, turned out to be and 18 man FFA on rust, where you got points for killing your own team mates who were showing up as green icons on your map!! :eek:

    Right there again, I tried playing TDM, and I'm in a game with unlimited ammo. People are firing off unlimited rocket launchers - anything, with no reloads and no ammo running out - it's insane! :eek::eek:

    Whats going on!???

    Its a glitch with using ground war and private matches, to make private matches with xp and open to the public matchmaking.
    Its got rediculous since the weekend. Seems these lobbies are popping up on every one you try to get into.

    Your loss imho. It is an excellent game (on the XBox anyway). You'll always have people who won't like something, and when it sells so many copies the chances of hearing someone complain goes up. Bottom line, the single player is good, but short. The Special Ops is very good. And the Multiplayer is great fun, but some people prefer the old version. Still worth buying and playing imo.

    hmmm is this happening on xbox ?

    i was playing the other day - was a domination game. Came up on rust - map i've never seen before for some reason - but the game went on FOREVER. Were tonnnes of players for such a small map and I mean was about 30 mins in and people's kills were in the hundred's. i eventually dropped out because it didn't seem to be finishing and i was gettign bored of being slaughtered on an overpopulated map i didn't know.

    was this a glitch ?

    Possibly. But as I mentioned earlier, Domination on Rust would be a mad scramble because it's so small. Very hard to take/keep flags when you can be seen from most of the map.

    its a glitch. rust never comes up in domination (for me at least) and then the game changes to FFA before it starts.

    yeah thats the glitch, they can use the privatematch settings to make a public match.
    So no time limit and infinite score limit etc. Only way you can stop the match is a nuke.

    The problem with boards.ie is people moan for the sake of moaning. Buy the game, try it out for yourself, make your own judgement.

    Sure the game has some glitches at the moment, they will resolve them and it will turn out to be a classic, imo.

    Yeah, funnily enough, over the weekend I noticed that some players who were showing up 'Green' in TDM matches were able to kill me :(

    It's getting really, really annoying.

    They're currently working on the problem I think. This is a post on the Infinity Ward website two days ago.

    "Working with the @infinityward team for a solution to the Public "Private Match" hack going on in #MW2 at the moment. I'll keep you posted."

    Lord knows when thats going to come through though. First they have to develop the patch, so a few days. Then they have to send it through microsoft certification before its comes online. Could be next week, seeing as they only even acknowledged the glitch on Sunday.

    I've lost a lot of respect for IW because of the way they've handled the various issues in MW2. There is almost zero feedback from them on their own forum and the only (occasional) updates come from 402's twitter and I'll be damned if I sign up for that junk.

    Just so I'm clear on this, your answer to a fundamentally flawed game is to throw money at the developers and then ask for it to be fixed. For the next game I hope they sell you a box with a note saying "they are aware of the lack of a cd or any actual game and the web develeopers are looking into it".

    This happened to me I joined a game where they were all blasting the sh*t out of each other with grenade launchers and idiot me trying to kill some guys with a TAR. Bloody mayhem. 402 says a fix is on the way though I think I will stay off until then. Very unprofessional by IW this stuff should be play tested to bits before its released.

    In fairness to 402 he is usually on the ball with things like this with regular updates on twitter. The last update took ages due to microsoft dragging their feet with certification.

    Activision really screwed the online gaming fans by not including dedicated server support for CODMW2. I can't see it getting much better. I'll stick to CODMW as I prefer online games anyway.

    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!)

    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.

    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.
