Modern Warfail 2!

     As you can see from the first Modern Warfare 2 link below, another game-breaking glitch allegedly overpowered perk combo has been found by the Timmies is being complained about. The hits blog errors just keep on coming. The Infinity Ward forums are full of bitch posts, as forums usually are. But sometimes, like this comprehensive list of MW2 shortcomings, they make some sense. While I don't agree with everything the OP writes, he does have a few good points in his rather lengthy screed. I hope IW gets its act together. (And me, too.) :D

    On to the links:

• Modern Warfare 2 God Mode glitch. Dammit.
• Looks like the M40A3 won't be making a reappearance in MW2, bolt-action fans. After all, IW has to contend with the Glitch of the Week™.
  
• MW 2 sells over $1 billion retail worldwide. I put in my $240.
  
• MW2 top seller in the UK, officially.
• Unintentional humor: How to become Robert Bowling.
• YouTube: 100 Ways to Die in MW2, Pt 1. Pretty bad MW2 recruit training. (OK, now just do that again -- 500 more times!) Spec Ops Acceptable Losses beating IW best time. Unlucky rocket plus tactical insertion fail, Highrise. Weird running glitch (as in software error).
