Care Package Patch

After already being refused once, the latest patch for Modern Warfare 2 was finally cleared by Microsoft earlier today, so things should be a lot better now in terms of exploits and glitches. Although it doesn’t address games dropping and lag/connection or party issues it does fix the games major problems.
- Care Package, Emergency Airdrop, and Sentry Gun marker grenades sprint speed normalized.
- Fix for “infinite care package” exploit.
- Sentry Guns: Improved placement detection, preventing cases of Sentry Guns inside geometry.
- Model 1887: Bling using Akimbo and FMJ combination now has same range and damage as non-Bling Model 1887s.
- Fixes to prevent various XP hacks (including the prevention of negative XP)
Let us know in the comments how the game has been for you AFTER the patch.


Looks like I’ll be playing all weekend. Glad to see MS push this out in 7 days.

@admin, i personally think that the models made the game fun and shouldnt of been changed the spas 12 is practically the same thing and no one has whined or cried about that why the models 1887s are supposed to shoot 60ft not 1 inch if you tried to make the game realistic you have failed.

I give it a week tops till some 11 year old or dude with a jtag xbox finds another way to glitch the care package. MW2 went from what could be the best game of all time to a complete joke.

@RPG, We can’t just blame Infinity Ward for all the problems. Yes, the party and host stuff is their problem and they do need to fix that. The care package glitchs are not their fault but people’s fault for exploiting the glitchs.
[Reply]
Still failed to fix or even acknowlege the biggest problem of all… the worst spawn system in the history of shooters.

@RPG, that doesn’t explain why I have to spawn exactly where a predator missle is landing, or where an air strike is hitting, or exactly where someone is already shooting. It’s rediculous. Halo has so many systems that prevent things like this. Like not spawing someone in another persons line of site, to spawn areas that detect if an enemy is near a potential spawn point before it decides to spawn you there. Why can’t IW do something like that? The same reason they were on record as saying that they would not include a Halo like theater feature because they didn’t want to wast time and resorces on something not many people would use. Not many people would use!!!!??? They are dillusional! This developer can’t take a step back and look at the things other developers do better and let that help their own game. It’s the same reason WAW let you back your party out when you’re leader, and MW2 doesn’t. I’m quickly loosing faith in IW. I cannot WAIT for Halo Reach. I’ll probably sell MW2 towards it.

@Joe, yeah just keep in mind your basically playing a war simulator. So bad stuff is going to happen. Should they make the game so even and balanced nobody could win? Learn the system or get some friends to roll with.

@RPG,
So because the spawn system fails I need to play MW2 with only my friends on my team every single time? I need to tell them that nobody can flank the enemy? I can’t play a descent public match like i used to in COD4? Why the hell did IW add Marathon and Lightweight then?
Please, f**k off. Before the game was relased Robert Bowlig(IW) said that the spawn system would be better than COD4. After playing the game I was frustrated to find out that it’s even worse than COD4, even COD:WOW has a better spawn system. Usually a sequel to an enormously popular game will improve stuff like for example the spawn system, but in MW2’s case they have taken a step back.
I understand that making a good spawn system can be extremly difficult, but theres no excuse for why MW2’s spawn system is worse than COD4. Stop being a little fanboy and open your eyes. Don’t make up lame excuses because your biggest dream is to suck Robert Bowlings cock while wearing your Prestige Edition “night vision goggles”.

@Joe, well think about it the other team now that your spawn is there so he will trowh it there to get points to bad if u are in the middle when the airstrike lands and the predator mostly goes to big groups stay out of big groups go inside!! or use cold blooded

@admin and @paradox, That’s true of the ps3 still, but not true for the 360. The same fix that went into the ps3 was GOING to go into the 360, but IW pulled that and implemented this fix that took care of the stun/flash grenade to do this glitch. I confirmed it myself. You can still try to do it and will get a second icon to call in a care package/sentry gun/emergency drop, but you won’t actually get it. You’ll just get the points for call it.

Yeah, already seen a few people using another Care Package glitch. Had two tonight in a free for all game.
Care Package sprint speed seems fine. Sure the others are too.
Now they just need to sort out spawns and being shot behind bullet proof protection by guns without FMJ and all the other stupid problems and we might have a decent game.

Why in the hell do they keep weakening the 1887’s? You only have them for about 4 levels, this is the 2nd time. It is bulls**t. What is the point of waiting for them if they aren’t special? LEAVE THE WEAPONS ALONE!

@Nuclearjoe,
You shoud try to use your brains before you reply. Do you even know how many of the guns should be changed if MW2 followed real life stats?
And if the Akimbo shotguns would do twice the damage there would be no use using any other guns in close quarters combat.

@Nuclearjoe, Firing one 10 gauge shotgun with two hands will make your hands bleed. Firing two in each hand will rip off your arms. I think that IW should rather replace the 1887s with a different shotgun, or take them out and spread out the shotgun acquirment levels a bit IMO.

@Yarok, I’m not saying that in real life people are gonna run around with 2 shotguns, I’m just saying the force of 2 shotguns blasts is going to be double the damage. Making them the same as non-bling makes it them pointless when people want dual wield shotguns for a big damage boost.

@Yarok, its not the damage they nerfed on the models its the range of the spray. They nerfed.
The infinite care package glitch using stuns or flashes is fixed. Or at least me and my friends couldn’t get it to work. Thank you finally!
[Reply]
So when they say sprint speed, does that mean one can run as fast that its just regular speed or is it just slightly slower than before?
[Reply]
@Mikewwtp1 the models werent special at all they were bull****. Both the models and the rangers need to be taken out of the game all together its called MODERN WARFARE 2 not OLD ASS GUNS 2 leave them pieces of **** out of a game full of advanced technology.

I won’t be happy until they nerf the knifing class…

@Mercedes Benz, You know what makes the game easier? Being good at it. @(insert every spawn whiner’s name here) The spawning works just like any other spawn, you spawn where the game thinks you’re safe. You know why it’s hard to make a decent spawn point? because it’s f**king fast-paced. Spots get taken over instantly, the game shifts in a snap. The reason it was easy for halo was the slower pace to the dying process. Shields on top of a bit of stamina. Don’t like how you’re spawning in TD because the teammates aren’t good? Then find better teammates, or get good at FFA. Better yet, just get good.

@d-kit,
Why don’t you come with a counter argument then? I’m guessing you don’t have one. So either you come up with a counter argument or your reply is worthless, and you may as well just the f**k up.
people are STILL glitching big time after this patch.. unbelievebale, I understand that the things they have patched have been quite important glitches but how can you not class getting inside teh wall on wasteland as a BAD glitch and patch that too?
Last night I played 4 games in wasteland, in every game 4 different people wall broke into the wall in the bunker, they had one man army on so could reload their class when out of ammo. They were totally unkillable in that little hole and had huge kills to death
In the end I just left the games.. I now leave every wasteland game and refuse to play that map >:(
Come on IW, you must know about this glitch, everyone else seems to know about it and vids of this have been on you tube for a month or 2. It cant be hard to change the geometry of that corner that people breach, other wall breaches get fixed so I cant believe that wasnt included in this patch
[Reply]
I can’t wait to hop on and play actually games……hopefully this last for a couple days…………IW is working their a$$e$ off so i commend them for doing so much. i just hate the pre-pubescent queers boosting and looking for glitches. just play the game or leave it alone and get off on watching Bob the Builder
[Reply]
Finally. But I hope they patch the 10th prestige hack
[Reply]
really? this game is like anyother game you buy it to play online and have “fun” and who really cares about the glitches i meanmost of you… sorry ALL of you have done one of these and complain about other ppl killing you with your own tactics .. sure its fun to run extremly fast and kill but its a game enjoy it you bought it and the patches might repair sum.

i love MW2. i have not played any Xbox title online nearly as much as i’ve played MW2 and despite the glitches and what not, its still a lot of fun playing with a good group of people. stop b***hing and complaining and when you see someone modding/hacking ie cheating report them. save their gamertag and see what you can do with it. all in all…….stop complaining. if you don’t like it go make your own first person shooter that breaks all records for video game releases.
