Glitches and links, glitches and links
Another day, another blog error. Oy!
As you can see from the first Modern Warfare 2 link below, anothergame-breaking glitchallegedly overpowered perk combohas been found by the Timmiesis being complained about. Thehitsblog errors just keep on coming. The Infinity Ward forums are full of bitch posts, as forums usually are. But sometimes, like this comprehensive list of MW2 shortcomings, they make some sense. While I don't agree with everything the OP writes, he does have a few good points in his rather lengthy screed. I hope IW gets its act together. (And me, too.) :D
On to the links:
- Modern Warfare 2 God Mode glitch. No, not really. Just a brain cramp on my part. Move along. Nothing to see here. :)
- Looks like the M40A3 won't be making a reappearance in MW2, bolt-action fans. After all, IW has to contend with the Glitch of the Week™.
- MW 2 sells over $1 billion retail worldwide. I put in my $240.
- MW2 top seller in the UK, officially.
- Unintentional humor: How to become Robert Bowling.
- YouTube: 100 Ways to Die in MW2, Pt 1. Pretty bad MW2 recruit training. (OK, now just do that again -- 500 more times!) Spec Ops Acceptable Losses beating IW best time. Unlucky rocket plus tactical insertion fail, Highrise. Weird running glitch (as in software error).

I'm gonna have to dissagree with ya on this one joker. I use one man army, exactly the way it is described in the article. but I dont feel it is a glitch at all. first off you are very vulnerable in those 5 seconds it takes to change classes. Its not like I am using ac130 rounds in my tar. I'm not cheating or glitching, you give up a secondary weapon to be able to change classes. I'm a camper I pick a spot with good cover and just try to hold my position. I cant compete with 12 year olds running cold blooded ninja with a canister marathon and light weight. who run strait through my claymores to double shotty my head off. I have yet to get over 29 kills but that is just because I suck, but I dont think I'm using a \"god glitch\" its not a glitch at all just a well designed class for us that dont have the reflexes of the younger crowd... Love your blog by the way...
My biggest beef with that video, Joker, is that he lays all the blame on OMA/Danger Close...when the overwhelming majority of his kills came from spawn killing with the Chopper Gunner. Granted, he got to the Chopper Gunner by using OMA/Danger Close. But you can get 11 kills in a row a lot of different ways, not just by using that combination... And once you have it, if the Chopper hovers directly over the enemy spawn like in the video, of course you're going to rack up kills.\r

And yes, I know that Danger Close Pro increases aerial support damage. I've used it many times before with Chopper Gunner. But it's not so big a difference that it gives one an unfair advantage.\r

Like my clan homie Omega, I use OMA and Danger Close. And I have never once gotten anywhere close to these results. Nor have I ever once played against anyone who has generated that many kills.
