I am a fan of the COD series, but have been dissapointed with the lack of effort on IW's effort to fix the glitches, such as the recent care and emergency air drop glitch in MW2. This is a glitch that has made me recently not want to play it, as every game my adversaries just spam us with air support. Otherwise the game is good, but a path has yet to be seen. is anyone else getting angry at this?

I was in a game recently where we just hammered the other team with air support...

Fun if you are on the right side, hell if you aren't.
That really can ruin the fun.
But I just switch to my Stinger-Class and
shoot down as much Harriers, Choppers etc. as possible.

Its a shame really.

Sadly, with all the money they made, it seems like they just stopped caring.

I could be wrong, but it seems that they have been slacking a bit.

Hell, it took them quite a while to fix the Javalin Glitch.

In their defence they are fixing the glitches.

Against them, they thought they could offer a better experience without running a proper beta and at the same time cutting as much control from the player as possible.
They clearly couldn't but it doesn't seem to have affected the numbers much.

All those glitches could be avoided or nullified with a month of beta and servers/admins allowed outside of matchmaking. But there you go...

As a random aside CS:S is back over 100'000 peak players per day now, whilst MW2 is under 130'000 (from over 150). I wonder how long it's going to take for CS:S to reinstate itself as Steam's most played, not counting when IWNet gets switched off and the number goes to 0.

Any sort of public beta would have eliminated most of these glitches BEFORE the games official release, it's such a shame

The patch everyone keeps referring to on the PC that fixed the care package glitch effectively fixed only one method. There continues to be a way to do this on all platforms prior to 1.08 (the latest patch IIRC), and I assume 1.09 will cause some other glitch when it fixes this one.

It's a cycle.

I'd like to say that its not because its got any more glitches than any other game. Its just that its got more people playing than any other game. So these glitches are being found with a lot more regularity than any other title.

this, good sir, is true. however that fact alone (that so many people play it) should inspire IW to fix them faster...

I say IW does not fix them to not alienate 13-year-old whiny boys, their main demographic. They'd otherwise not find a way to play the game and win any more, and therefore would stop playing it, sell it, and not buy the sequel.

Or maybe they are just regular humans themselves, with regular bosses, who tell them to work on a new product instead of the technically already finished and sold one.

Edit: fixed.

Why work to fix something when you've already been paid for it?

Well not every glitch can be fixed in BETA, I mean seriously? Have you seen how to do the glitch for it? These things can't all be helped.

It's like meleeing a wall for 3min till it collapses/
