I don't do the Tweeter thing, mind posting it up when they do?

According to another of 402's tweets, the updates will be posted to a new Status Update forum at the official forums.

Link is here: http://www.modernwarfare2.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=32

Currently no posts but hopefully there will be some soon. I don't expect tons of nitty-gritty details though as I'm guessing he doesn't want to teach even more people how to create glitch games.

However, it's nice to see that they are aware of and are planning on fixing the 1887s. Took them long enough though. People have only been bitching about them since forever.

They say they're fixing the 1887's?

Yep! Looks promising as 402 responded to two different people in a row who pointed out how unbalanced the 1887s are.

@fourzerotwo are u ever gonna nerf akimbo 1887's they are ruining the game
@diehalo Yeah. There will be changes made. I'll have more info soon.

@fourzerotwo Still loving the game! I mean, its amazing right now, but fix the 1887's and private match glitches and it'll be Perfect!
@KnownAsMclovin Thanks man. Expect to have both of those resolved as fast as we can.

The ninja glich is really pissing me off.

Since the javelin glitch was fixed, I switched back to regular deathmatch (instead of hardcore) and now that I can see the kill cams its unbelievable to me how I always show up on their heartbeat sensors even with ninja pro. Its almost a pointless perk aside from the quiet footsteps.

I seriously hope they fix that. I havent' heard of anyone talking about it...

Someone said this is just a glitch in the replay but in-game you don't actually show up. I'm with you though, it seems like people see/hear a beep and react to it.

I've seen some people say that, but I've seen others that say it is a glitch but only for Ninja Pro and not standard Ninja. Whatever it is, hopefully the fix will be included in the next patch.

Any other info on the infinite ammo stuff? How do you know if you are in a modded match aside from constantly getting noob toob'd, which seems to happen to me regardless?

Because it'll be rapid fire. If you join the match and all you hear are explosions...get out.

What happens if you come up to a guy and he's using the laptop (for AC130, copter, etc) and kill him?

He dies and respawns, but doesn't "return to his body" until his killstreak is over. Actually, they may not even respawn until the streak is over.

So while he's shooting missles down on the AC130, can he tell he's dead? The game allows him to keep playing the killstreak then when it's over, he's dead?

need just 8 more stars for 1000gs ^^ was surprised a lot of the spec ops are easier solo on vet than with a partner.

I like the game a lot but the knifing is just ruining the game for me. I don't understand how i can get knifed when the person isn't even looking at me or i get knifed when the dude isn't even near me. Gonna probably get rid of the game soon.

Never noticed this problem. Sounds like somebody sucks at the game

its probably the shitty ass netcode in MW2 where what you see on your screen really isn't what is happening in the game world.

like when i lay a whole clip into someone and they turn at me fire once and im dead, then in the kill cam im aiming like 5 feet to the right of the guy.

Yeah pretty much. Although I wouldn't necessarily blame IW, they're not responsible for the latency between you and the host.

Really guys, it's not necessary to assume someone sucks at the game just because they're complaining about something... that seems to be the standard response here. Remember, there's always someone who is better than you.

I joined two separate games tonight, both HQ Pro, and had this glitch going on. I played one round cause it was kinda fun, but otherwise annoying.

I like playing HQ Pro to change it up from TDM, but both times I tried I got flung into this clusterfuck. I hope this gets fixed too.

Did you do all of the Echo group yet? My brother and I played the breach and rescue on the oil rig the other night and it was difficult. I can't imagine what the other two ops in Echo are like.
