Modern Warfare 2′s “Care Package” patch already has released for PS3 and PC; via Twitter, Infinity Ward community manager Robert Bowling says it was submitted on Friday to Microsoft for certification on the Xbox 360.
The fixes and changes this patch will provide:
• 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.
No specific date was announced, but Bowling said it won’t be much longer until the glitch this solves is “a thing of the past”

Monday, February 8, 2010 at 5:22 PMEvery time he announces stuff like this, people bombard him to ask questions about things. His answering method seems erratic at best. I’ve heard of many people asking about local matchmaking yet he replies to rumours about unannounced map packs.
Sigh. BFBC2 can’t come quick enough.

Monday, February 8, 2010 at 5:57 PMThis stuff never really bothered me. Even the akimbo runners, while obviously a cheesy nub combo, never really bothered me.

Monday, February 8, 2010 at 8:15 PMCare package sprint speed shouldn’t have changed. It makes sense that you run faster because its light.

But carrying those guns on your back aswell as a soup can might make you run even slower as the added weight of the soup can…….

Monday, February 8, 2010 at 10:14 PMIm actually getting rid of MW2 tomorrow.
I hung in there for so long (it seems) but in the end have just had enough of it.
I dont enjoy the game at all. The bugs, the elusive promises. . . the complete spit in the face for local search.
Ive had enough.

Monday, February 8, 2010 at 11:06 PMAnyone think Robert Bowling is taking classes from Michael Atkinson?
They both seem to treat their audience (consumers, taxpayers) with equal contempt.

Monday, February 8, 2010 at 11:35 PMYeah, they’ll fix everything except what the real problem is… it’s like they just deny that anyone anywhere could ever need a local search function?

Tuesday, February 9, 2010 at 10:22 AMInfinity Ward have completely ruined this game. The Model 1887 was not a big issue and they have made a big deal out of it. This will supposedly be the 3rd time they have fixed them, for god sake leave them alone! Can they not reset the leaderboards as they are a discrace.

NO Dedi servers for Mw2 but BFBC2 doesn’t have them either on day one release in the sense a lot of people were complaining about :)
