Over the past couple weeks the words "ARE YOU !*&%ing KIDDING ME, YOU LITTLE CHEATING NOOB" have probably been screamed from gamers across the globe. All thanks of course, to Modern Warfare 2's highly entertaining, yet utterly annoying Javelin glitch. Well, it appears as though karma, all your constant prayers, voodoo, or possibly wizardry has caused Xbox Live's Director of Policy and Enforcement, Stephen Toulouse, to prepare to layeth the smacketh down...eth.
According to Toulouse, the practice of using the Javelin glitch is considered cheating (duhh), as defined by the Service's Terms of Use and anyone caught self-detonating will be banned for 24hrs, or if you are caught repeat offending, you will not pass go, will not collect $200 but be banned immediately from XBL for a fortnight (that's two weeks and yes, I have been waiting forever to find an opportunity to use that word).
Can't wait to see how this kid reacts to this news.
Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling also tweeted yesterday that a fix is currently being worked on and tested, and "once it's cleared, we'll be urging it through Microsoft & Sony certification as fast as possible."
