The lights are on
Update: Just minutes ago, Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling tweeted this great news: "Modern Warfare 2 players on Xbox 360 just received an update today." This patch offers a fix for the infinite care package exploit, and the normalization of care package, sentry gun, and emergency airdrop grenade sprint speeds. Players will also notice improved placement for sentry guns (they can no longer cross into geometry), and the model 1887 combo of akimbo and FMJ now has the same range and damage as normal model 1887's. Cheaters, your days of ruining the game for everyone else are over! Thank you, Infinity Ward. Hopefully, these problems show the development team how important public betas are.
Original Story: Earlier this week, my Modern Warfare 2 clan, Moo!, jumped online with the goal of extending our consecutive win streak past 12. We managed to hit five wins in a row before running into a group of players in ground war deathmatch who used the care package glitch. Our streak ended in this match, forcing my clan into retirement until Infinity Ward patched the game. I've been itching to get back into the action, but hadn't heard anything lately regarding a fix. Using the magic of a web service called Twitter, I sent Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling this question: "Any updates on the care package patch?" He responded within seconds. "The Care Package Fix patch went to Microsoft for cert on Friday. Not too much longer before it's a thing of the past."
Good news! Given how big of a problem this glitch has been, I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft pushes it through as quickly as they can. I'm guessing we'll see it next week!

Care package glitch? I haven't copme across any kind of care package glitch (that I'm aware of) and I play a ton of MW2 (lvl 44-5th Prestige). Would someone mind elaborating on this a bit.
If you know what's good for you, you'll visit my Profile.
=) =( =D ={0 =-) =-(
the CP glitch allows people to call infinite care packages, its pretty much plagued the game idk how you managed to miss it
Glitches are always the downer to my online multiplayer experience. Glad they fixed it.
thank god this glitch has been destroying the game for all of us who want to play it the right way
good job Reiner!
Thank you Microsoft!!! =D
Took a while though.
@ben tate: The care package glitch is just a way someone discovered to get an infinite amount of care packages via continually... well, I won't tell you if you don't know. :) But all you need to know is its really cheap, and it works with emergency airdrops too, which makes it even worse.
You clan's name is "Moo!"?
Funny! Mine's name is "Cluck"
There's apparently three or four different ways to do the glitch, hope this stops them all. Also on a related note Robert sent another tweet saying the patch will also fix people sprinting with the care package.
Mines YES lol ahahaha but yeah the care package glitch... its seems like infinity needs to step it up, dont get me wrong or anything just saying... i switched back to my 82 in Gears thats how dumb MW2 got for me. :'(
LOL, the pic on the main page is from the Wii port of MW1.
Why is the picture on the homepage of the crappy Wii Modern Warfare 1 Reflx?
Hardcore is the answer to glitches. I've never seen any of the glitches that have plagued the game since launch in Hardcore.
i hate that glitch
Almost as annoying as the Javelin glitch. I would not play the game until that one was fixed because it was so annoying.
They'll just find some other glitch to use, they always do. Lol, Moo!
I played once with a friend that loves this glitch. and me myself hate it because when he used it another person on the other team got mad and used it. i dont blame the other person for useing it but this makes the game terrrible for other people that dont use glitches. i couldnt even walk from spawn 10 ft beforei get killed by a harier and a turret at once.
Reiner: Doin Work
lol clans in call of duty are pointless seeing as how there is no sort of clan ranking system and u can easily change your clan they should get a system sort of like socom then clans ould be worth it
About time.
