MW2 Care Package Glitch

[||§§||Dr.H]

OK so I've been playing MW2 with you guys for a few days now and I have to say I freaking HATE this glitch(well it's kinda a exploit)! When you use Marathon and Lightweight and Comando perks and get a Care Package, if you equip the Care Package but don't use it you can run super fast and low. You also duck and leap forward when you knife.. This makes the person super hard to kill and if I recall the Care Packages are meant to be used to get kill steak bonuses not to turn you into a knife wielding superman.. not to mention that since you keep the Care Package after you die if you don't use it, then they can just keep on using it over and over..

Anyway like always people say it's suppose to be that way because they love to use it but I think they will be fixing it from what I've heard?

Here is a video comparison: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Bw1abVG0EM

To bad the video doesn't show how you bend over when you knife or lunge when you stab somebody...

A shotgun can usually be used to counter this but even then it's hard. If your connection isn't great then there is really nothing you can do. The people who usually do it lack skill and that is why they glitch despite what they say. I've seen the leader of a team glitching and the next round not even get a 4 kill streak.

I don't think they'll ever fix this since you're supposed to run fast with the care package so you can get to safety. I think IW overlooked how effect it could be used offensively and unless this is somehow brought to their attention by enough people it'll stay in.

This doesn't make any sense to me since people can't shoot you and steal the care package anyway. So why the escape speed? On top of that, once you call it in you have to wait around for it giving the enemy time to close in on you. If that's not enough the care package shows up on the enemy's radar.

I think the easiest thing to do is make it so that you can't knife with the package in hand.


As for people that do it I've heard everything from 'just trying it out', 'having fun', and 'it's part of the game.' Really, you know they just want to get a reaction out of you or they themselves are angry that they're playing poorly.

I don't even argue with them anymore, I just take the shotgun out. However, it's kind of annoying that in a war-based FPS I'm moving around like I'm ready to fight zombies.

The odd thing is that you can't run fast if you are holding a flash or frag which are the same size.. I agree they should remove the knife ability and it would fix it.

Funny while also showing just how messed up this glitch is.. it's one of the most unrealistic things in the game.
