Updates: In Progress
[UPDATE 2] There are a couple of updates in the making for multiplayer, complete list will be added soon.
It hasn't been long since update 1.05 and 1.06 fixed some bad glitches but the good folks at Infinity Ward are already testing multiple other fixes that should make playing Modern Warfare 2 online a better experience. Robert Bowling updated the Infinity Ward Community with a short list of what's in the making and promises full patch notes to be released soon.
Modern Warfare 2 Update in Test now!
Includes: 1887s Balanced. Public "private" Match fix. Infinite Ammo fix. Prestige Hack on PS3 fix. Texture Hack on PC fix (eliminates any edits to IWD files also).
Full patch notes for all previous and current patches will be added shortly. Stay Tuned for link.
While we're still waiting on official word, these are our thoughts on what those fixes will be:
If you want to have some fun with the (overpowered) » Model 1887, you better unlock it right now at lv. 67! They have a great range, very high damage model and are very (VERY) deadly while being used with Akimbo (dual-wield), apparently they're too powerful and Infinity Ward is balancing them.
The Public "private" Match fix will most likely disable parties to enter random private matches when looking for ranked matches.
The infinity Ammo fix is a big one too. Due to some glitch you some matches get infinity ammo and makes all weapons fully automatic. You can imagine it being quite annoying to have some people shoot fully automatic n00btubes and AC-130 105mm's.
The PS3 Prestige hack fix will probably disable the savegame hack in which you can get to prestige 10 + lv. 70 instantly, we believe this only works on local games and not PSN ranked matches though.
PC is always "risky" for developers because they're so much easier to hack than compared to games for consoles. IWD files are data files that include many of the source code for the game. Editing these files will change some aspects in the games, including textures etc. As these are local only, you can change the enemies texture to a bright pink color (for example) so they're much easier to spot in a distance or darkness.
[UPDATE] There we go, the new patch is already being dispatched on PSN. X360 and PC are next!
#MW2 PS3 patch just went live! Includes the Akimbo 1887s re-balancing, fix for Prestige hack, & fix for Public "private" Match. 360/PC soon
The Xbox 360 version will be getting the same, just waiting on ETA on it's release. PC gets same plus fix for hacked textures & altered IWDs
[UPDATE 2] PS3 got the 1.07 update on Saturday, X360 go it today (Wednesday). No more glitchy private matches or overpowered model 1887's! |
