modernwarfare2logo

IW’s Rob Bowling’s confirmed that Modern Warfare 2’s 360 Javelin patch has been given the nod my Microsoft.

“Xbox 360 update: latest patch just passed certification,” he tweeted.

“They just need to push it live. Goodbye Javelin glitchers!”

This means you won’t be able to turn yourself into a flying bomb and risk being banned from Live any more. Shame.

    i experienced this for the first time last night, glad they are sorting the bug out

    next…those damn double shotguns

    What’s wrong with the double shotguns?

  3. Gekidami said:

    Dual Model 1887’s are OP, thats what.

  4. G1GAHURTZ said:

    Yeah! so is the M16, right??

    Oh no, that was CoD4…

    They’re not overpowered. They’re pretty useless at medium range, and I personally have had to shoot people TWICE with both guns, just to get a kill, even at short range.

    Pretty much all shotty’s are as effective as each other if you know how to use them properly.

  5. Gekidami said:

    You must suck with them or arent useing stopping power (unlike nearly everyone else who plays the game) because even at medium range both of them being shot at the same time will down anyone. Hell, look on the CoD wiki; They even say that it has an “unusually long effective range”.
    Its pretty much a reconised fact by all that the weapon is OP.

    And yes, the M16 is also still unblanced. Because its unchanged from CoD4’s one.

  6. bobbymington said:

    they should make it so you run really slowly with the shotguns, like if you were carrying a light machine gun.

    because, lets be honest, your not gonna be that nippy running around holding out two shotguns

  7. G1GAHURTZ said:

    Yeah, I suppose so. You also have to take Lightweight Pro into consideration too, though.

    Anyone using it (like me!) is going to be running/moving/aiming as if they were only carrying a knife.

    Thought this had already gone in on PS3, there’s been 2 updates already this week.

  9. G1GAHURTZ said:

    Geki, how many hours have you played the online for, and what rank are you?

  10. Gekidami said:

    Just gotten to the start of the second prestige point, i’m at level 70. I’ve got about 4days play time.

  11. bobbymington said:

    i’ll get killed mid range, one barrel, and when i watch the kill cam, i’ll notice the gun was pointed an inch to the side of me…it’s just not cricket

  12. Gekidami said:

    Yeah, its like the buckshot is composed of 50.cal bullets firing in every direction.
    It really is a ruining the game. Theres alot of choice but the weapons are just stupidly balanced so you always see the same ones being used along with the same perks. And to not be left behind you yourself have to use the more powerful ones to.

  13. G1GAHURTZ said:

    What game mode are you playing!?

    Each Prestige shouldn’t take more than 2.5 days, max.

    I’m first prestige, about rank 17 or 18 and I’ve only played it for about 2.5 days…

    Anyway, in the 60 or so hours that I’ve played it (bear in mind that I started 4 days after most other people as I didn’t have internet at home when the game was released, which means that people were using them against me when I was still even getting to grips with the maps.) I haven’t found the 1887’s to be overpowered to be hit with, or to use.

    In fact, they are one of the most unresponsive weapons that I’ve ever used when it comes to quick switching.

    IYAM, the most OP weapon in the game is the knife!

    The most annoying thing in the entire MP has to be pumping bullets into some guy at close range, only for him to beat you with a knife.

    I’d complain about that, but not about the 1887’s

    Like what?

    Of the people that I play with regularly, I think we all use totally different load outs.

    Here’s mine:

    Current:
    UMP45 – Holographic
    AA-12 – Silenced
    Frag
    2x Stun
    Marathon
    Lightweight
    Steady Aim
    Painkiller

    Preferred (lvl 70):
    P90 – Holographic
    1887 – Akimbo
    Frag
    2x Stun
    Marathon
    Lightweight
    Steady Aim
    Painkiller

    I don’t think that any of the people that I regularly play with would ever even like to use a load out like that.

    1. Javelin Glitch – check
    2. Grenade after death drop without martyrdom -
    3. SHOTGUNS OMG PLZ!1111 -
    4. Commando (WTF, it’s almost like cheat -.-) -

    “2. Grenade after death drop without martyrdom -”

    ???? No idea what you are talking about, never seen this happen if the person wasnt cooking a grenade prior to throwing it. That is not a bug.

  17. Jadeskye said:

    the UMP45 gig? I personally use the Vector for an smg load out.

    Prefered load out:

    Fal – thermal – Silencer
    92Fs – FMJ – silencer
    C4
    stun
    Bling Pro
    cold blooded pro
    ninja pro
    Painkiller
