Ok, this week I have been exploring the different types of cheats available on modern warfare 2 on the major gaming consoles as the pc ones I have already written about. The glitch that seems to pop up time and time again seems to be the Javelin glitch.

A few days ago, playstation announced that they will not be bringing any sanctions to anyone caught using this glitch online. It is too difficult for activision itself to do anything on the consoles as they all connect through 3rd party servers.

Xbox have followed suit with an announcement, however this is slightly different than the one made by the boffins at playstation! Microsoft have spoke to infinty ward who say that the glitch has been patched up and the patch will be available with the next round of updates. However, until then they have something in store for those people caught cheating.

You will now be banned from xbox live for a period of 24 hours. You all know what a ban entails, you will not be able to sign into xbl and you will have code of conduct on your profile to label yourself as a cheat! If you have been banned in the past then it will probably be even harsher, may even be 72 hours!

A comment from Stephen Toulouse said

“While IW works on getting the MW2 glitch fixed, people we catch using it will receive suspensions from Live. Play fair everyone”

“For those asking, cheating suspensions are usually 24 hours for first offence,” he added later. “But egregious cheating can be 2 weeks!… Using any bug or glitch to gain advantage in a game is expressly against our Terms of Use and Code of Conduct.”

For those who don’t know what the Javelin glitch is, please see the youtube video attached below and discuss in the comments section!
