Microsoft going dirty with the banning Vol. pun intended

[datdamndeuce]

Nah you punish them for cheating. It lessens the quality of the gameplay, especially when people exploit it.

So, Microsoft is now catching people even if they have stealth patched their games?

MS is in the business of gaining as much $$$ as possible. This is one of the methods they are using.

u must be a glitcher yourself, 'finding" a glitch is alot different than exploiting it. u make it sound like some random guy accidentally stumbledopon it, u no damn well that everybody who uses it cheeses/glitches with it goes out of there way to use a javelin (which by the way is one of the most uselessweapons in the game, if u take out the glitch)

Thats not the point. IW releases a product that people PAID for that has flaws in it and instead of fixing the flaw that THEY didnt find in theirquality assurance process, they request that users who use that flaw be banned.

Thats like GM releasing a car that has a "flaw" that allows you to get 20% more MPG and horsepower. Instead of doing a recall and fixing the problemfor free, they get the government to arrest the people who use the flaw.

That just doesn't make sense. They are just trying to be cheap and not release a patch. You can't just go around banning people for a fault in yourproduct that you let get to production.

damn

 

[rap sizzle]

Say whatever crap you want but every person who has used the javelin glitch in a game with me has been reported. It completely disrupts the flow of the gameand takes no skill whatsoever. Javelin users just piss me off.

sony wins

little petty stuff like this is why i dont get on xbox live anymore

 

[thehealthinspector]

maybe they should allow for server-styled rooms that can be password protected which have hosts/moderators that can kick cheesers

as opposed to forcing people to use matchmaking

Thanks for putting it into perspective, this is the exact point I was getting at.

@kobe4threebang - For the record, I'm not a glitcher, and this is my first time hearing about it. But if someone finds an exploit in a game that will givethem an extra advantage, you know they will use it. It makes no sense to punish them for it when it's not their fault.

Yeah you're right, but couldn't that potentially hurt their business for potential customers? Or even worse, the people they ban decide togo with one of the consoles they're in competition with instead.

 

[krazyg]

Banning for glitching? Isn't it the developers responsibility to fix these errors made in the game?

 

[flightposite]

Dude would have to go by the name Nelson.

 

[jthagreat]

Im glad that IW is currently lookin into this. I dont think bannin is the proper solution but somethin needs to be done.

Im not on xbox btw

That's true. It may bite MS in the butt in the long run, but 98% of those that got banned for modding/glitches will just buy another 360.

Its really not even a ban its more of a suspension. MW2 is getting kinda boring for me already... Going into the 3rd prestige and this Javelin Glitch is kindaentertaining lol. I don't really care cause i got multiple accounts FTW.

IW sends the requests in for players to get banned. It is MS or Sony's decision to comply.

IW is the one to blame.

Rather than releasing a patch they ask MS for bans... smh, not cool

^ this. people who are getting banned aren't doing anything wrong to allow Microsoft to ban them.

sony knows it cant ban someone for using a in game exploit, but if some one modifies the game they can.

IW needs to get their s%$# together and patch the game instead of trying to ban everyone who uses it

 

[kicktionair]

I found it randomly when the game released

I was like

"What the he;llllllll"

yay

 

[Spectacular23]

Wait what? I have the game for 360 and I never saw this glitch can someone explain to me how is it done? And why it's a glitch

 

[boss tycoon 408]

^(While holding a Javelin) Hold RB press Y Release RB. Just don't climb anything like ladders or by pressing A. Won't work if you switch guns or defuseor plant lol did experiments. Also you can do with a stinger but it has no range.

This is a glitch because with the Javelin you would have to lock on but by doing the glitch its like a huge martydom (sp?).

My opinion is that its the developers fault and no one should get a suspension for their faults especially when we bought the game for $60

 

[shatterkneesinc]

its def IW's fault and microsoft is being too strict to their consumers

 

[yoda]

Clearly it's IWs fault, but if anyone remembers how glitching doomed the SOCOM series for PS2, I'm perfectly fine with this.

I don't agree with how MS is handling it, but if thats what it takes to keep the cheating to a minimum, so be it. Glitchers ruined my absolute favoriteonline game with SOCOM 2.
