I don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but here's my story:

I jumped into a game, and one guy on the team got two EMPs in quick succession and throughout the course of the game got about 5 predator missiles, multiple UAVs and Counter-UAVs. My team was fighting off these killstreaks the whole game. I thought "He must be doing well" at first, then I looked at his score. At the end of the game he had only gotten 18 kills, with 6 deaths. Throughout the game there was a steady influx of enemy care packages, so my interested was piqued. There was no way he could have gotten so many killstreaks with that K/D. He could have only gotten three care packages max. And yet here we were.


So, people of the Escapist, have you encountered anything like this before? Someone getting too many killstreaks for their K/D ratio, their kills in general, or something along those lines.

I'm aware Infinity Ward's shooter is a pretty buggy one at the best of times, and among 10th prestige glitches, mysterious auto-exploding rocket launchers and hundred and forty year old guns somehow or other being better than every other shotgun in the game, that there may well be a glitch to this effect.

Yes it's real, my little brother and his friends figured it out last night (He showed me how to do it and everything).

It's only a matter of time before others start to figure it out, and shit really hits the fan until IDub can get out a patch for it.

Which system were you playing on?

I'm going to answer his question for you, PC.

OT: Must...attempt...to refrain...from trying.

Actually, he was playing the xbox version when he found it.

Oh. Guess it's time to refrain from making baseless claims.

I was on the Xbox when it happened. Very, very irritating. Good thing I have a stinger equipped on most classes.

yeah i've seen videos of it being done. Haven't encountered it myself as i mostly play free-for-all. Its probably easier to do on a big map in a team game when you can hide and do it. No clue if it has been patched. I play the 360 version btw.

Yes there's a glitch and no it hasn't been patched on the PC at least.

If it takes IW as long to fix this as the care package glitch then the game is going to be traded the second Mass Effect 2 hits the stores. Ie tomorrow.

Care package glitch? I never heard of that one.

I encountered this on the PS3. Tempting to do but I pride myself on not cheating/glitching/hacking on MW2 when most of my friends do.

While I never heard of such a glitch (though there might well be one), it happens to me on a regular basis, to experience a 3-4 deathstreak, especially when not having played the game for a day or two, which leads me to having a 2:1 k:d ratio, consisting of me playing 20:3, and screwing up the first one or two minutes, which would pretty much have the same result, as you experienced, at least scorewise.

I've actually tried the glitch (in a private match with friends, never in an actual game) and it's certainly effective. How is the game this buggy? Is it the gam itself, or is the absurd amount of people playing, figuring out glitches?

Yeah...they can also do it with Emergency Airdrops. It's annoying, and if people are clever they can hide it pretty well. Oh well...300 more headshots until the gold title for my FAL, then I can stop playing until it's patched.

Ever heard of 'emergency airdrop' killstreak reward which gives you 4 care packages?
That's not what he's talking about. Though like I mentioned above, you can glitch those too. One game I played had so many care packages on it that it was lagging.

Old glitch and extremely over used coz it's so simple to do! Me and my friends had a second floor of care packages in one match!
