    More Woes for Xbox Players and Modern Warfare 2

    As if there is not enough going on, the newest bug is very powerful, infinate ammo. The video found at g4tv.com explains it all:

    <object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/77yYlUUV3dU&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/77yYlUUV3dU&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>


    The video you see above documents a currently occurring glitch in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer for the Xbox 360. As you can see, for some as-yet-to-be-determined reason, players in some matches are receiving infinite ammo on all weapons, including heavy hitting gear like M203s and AC-130 gunships.

    Judging from reports on internet message boards, the glitch is affecting 360s right now, and may be some sort of exploit that spreads to other users in a game and breaks all weapons' ammo counters.

    Infinity Ward is on the case, or so IW's Robert Bowling tweets:

    "Preparing an in depth #MW2 Status Report for players to stay aware of what we're addressing & how it's progressing. Lots of updates in works."

    Reports are coming in that the 360 version of the game is all but broken at the moment, with just about every match "infected" with the unlimited ammo plague! I'm going into the game capture lab to check it out for myself, but maybe you've already seen this at work? What's going on out there?

    With all the other problems going on with the Xbox version, this cannot help the situation. What is going on? Did the javelin fix cause this?

    LOL, this maybe spread like a trojan or worm from some unnamed source that has now taken on a life of its own.

      LOL! that was amazing, I love the laughs with the AC-130 and the infinite grenades...man that is hilarious. However It looked they were playing on a private server, so maybe it just is affecting them?
      And could this reach PC or would it just be a 360 glitch?

        PC right now is experiencing a hack that pulls people into hacked private games (ranked) to a similar result.

            Probably just hackers forcing host on themselves (doable with a simple firewall btw) with modified configs.

              That's not unlimited ammo in the gunship...You always got unlimited ammo, its more like no reload...

                i can tell you exactly wats going on..

                The pc community got so annoyed at IW that they decided to prove a point about cheating and hence the mass influx of cheaters on mw2. This is way admin control with dedicated servers will always win because at least they can kick and remove people from servers when this sort of thing happens with the peer2peer it just cannot happen as we as players have no control of who plays where and how they play.

                well thats my 2cents worth

                    On both its a bug.

                    Consolers seem to call everything glitches.

                      There were always cheats mods on the XBox, just check how many cheats there are for each game. Take borderlands for an example you just edit files with a hash editor to give yourself unlimited ammo unlimited weapon slots all weapons ect. Move and replace files into your Xbox and you get them working.

                            What happened was that people with modded xboxs started this up, and it spread to normal consoles. Then the people with this "bug" in their system who were hosts spread it to others and it goes on like a chain.

                            I've experienced it myself these passed few days and it's freaking annoying.

                              This is what happens when a Developer screws with the modding community.
