Modern Warfare 2 Javelin Glitch...

[Srkkl]

isn't the javelin the launcher which fires a rocket into the air which then goes back down to the ground? ...if so then that isn't a glitch, its you being too slow

No, they're holding the launch trigger on the missle so it never goes off until they die and when it does go off it doesn't shoot up, it goes straight to the ground and kills people in like a 30 foot distance.

Erm...Move away from them? If you know they're pulling this stunt, increase your distance from them? That or flank them?

*sigh* Think people. There are tactics you can use to avoid getting cheap'd out.

Same with campers. You know walking through that area is going to get you killed by someone sitting, but you don't reckon by switching routes, flash, stun or smoke+thermal nading or just fragging the room you could knock them off their perch long enough for a kill or knife? Heck, get the FMJs out and go THROUGH THE WALL.

This is why I cry sometimes at FPSers (Including a friend of mine, by the way). Sometimes there would be an easy answer staring them in the face, neon signs and me spitting blood from my raw throat telling them the way unto Win-ness, only to receive insults back is priceless

Worth pointing out I haven't seen this yet. Cousin's got my copy until this weekend.

Oh, if only it were that simple. Most of these glitchers have found ways to utilize the perks, using marathon to quickly run up on people, and danger close (more explosive damage) to essentially turn this glitch into a 50 foot kill radius. I've been blown up at insane distances before, through buildings, and other nonsense. You will see how ridiculous it is when you play next.

Supposedly Xbox live bans are coming for people who use this and it should be patched on xbox in the next update.

That piece of crap glitch is VERY annoying.

Never seen the glitch, but it sounds funny and cool to watch. I'd still rather have that the bunch of idiots and crybabies mw2 is populated with. If I hear "he shot me in the head twice with a shotgun at pointblank range and I died, this is bulls*&t" one more time I might do that javelin trick on myself just to end the constant stupidity....seriously have any of you guys ever said something along the line of "nice shot man, you got me.???" Probably not, or you probably don't have headsets.

Oh dear, and people were so excited about martyrdom being taken off the new game...
[small]Hang on, I think it was... lemme check.[/small]

Bah, martyrdom is horrible in this game. Takes 4 deaths to get it and the grenade usually rolls away anyways.

Also, haven't seen this glitch yet.

 

[Ham Blitz]

Yes, I hate that damn glitch so much. What they have to do is hold some sticky grenade, and before throwing it, they switch back to the javelin. Then, as long as they hold it out, a missle will instantly launch as soon as they die, and it launches where they are facing.
I hate that so much, because you see so many people walking around with the Javelin just for that reason.

 

[Spiner909]

Christ the glitch is annoying, but effective, no doubt. Especially with danger close. Look at the plus side- they can't get killstreaks.

 

[UsefulPlayer 1]

Oh so that's how they do it. Whatever the case, they are super noobs for cheating.

You need to suck it up, knife them, or learn to shoot from range. It's a funny glitch that no one should be pissy about.

I do...sometimes. If I've been raping with a sniper rifle in a good spot or two and somebody sneaks up on me or lines up a particularly nice headshot to get me out of there, I'll be annoyed but say something along the lines of "ok, I'll give you that one, good shot."

Except when you put Danger Close on the class (like most people do), you can kill from a good 50+ feet away, which not even the fabled noob tube can do. On some maps, killing from further away is next to impossible unless you snipe, and even then, they often use SitRep to check for claymores and such, or Scrambler to delay their activations.

I haven't seen anyone using this, and I played for a long time last night.

The host advantage pisses me off more than any glitchers.

Or just don't kill them. They can't do anything except hold onto their Javelin if they hope to ignite the glitch.

They can still knife you. I ran into a clan that was all using the glitch, and actually managed to sprint while using it (a glitch within a glitch?) while using Commando when we hesitated.

Glitch or not, they're suspending people for days, weeks, months maybe if they use this, even just once. I never got killed by it yet though, but I have seen it on youtube. But if anyone is at fault, it's IW for not testing the weapon correctly.

Okay, that is just bullshit - and self-serving bullshit at that.

By this logic, if you take a golf club and use it to smash someone's head in, you shouldn't be held accountable; after all, its the developers' fault for not designing the golf club with a prevention mechanism which stops you from being able to use it as a weapon.

You can't "accidentally" abuse this sort of glitch, especially in the instance of people doing it more than once.

All I see is another crowd of people whining about "The Man" coming to spoil their (illegal by Xbox terms and conditions) fun.
