Almost every game I join now seems to have 'low gravity' and 'superman fast runaround' going on. Who is causing this? Is it people cheating, or changing some settings? i dont want to play in this silly mode, so is there a way of avoiding it?

Once you have been in a game with it I think it stays with you like an infection. Restarting the console seems to sort it though. Or play hardcore... Less cheaters seem to play this.

seen loads of people moaning about this, what game type is that under? I play 4 hours a night every night since release date and never had any of these glitches, not that i want them but seems odd that so many people are complaining and that its never happened to me....?

Had it a couple of times but not a lot to be honest, I just leave as soon as it becomes apparent.

It's some kind of hack, I really do not understand the fascination with it myself, it renders the game totally unplayable. I imagine it's just kids doing it, they seem to obsess over any glitch/ hack/ whatever, regardless of how useful it is.

Hardcore HQ Pro (the last choice on the list) as its my favourite type of game.


Thanks for the advice about restarting game.

Sorry to take this slightly off topic, but has anyone experienced a glitch whereby Pavelow kills do not count towards your killstreak run. Was absoultely raining down death on Wasteland and was waiting for my chopper gunner, but alas nothing happened!!

Must have been care package? Any kills you get from care packages don't count to your kill streak.

PAVELOWS DO NOT COUNT TOWARDS KILLSTREAK REWARDS

Although, I think, they do if you haven't died in the game, I think. It adds to your killstreak on Leaderboards, but not killstreak rewards.

lol wut.

I dont really use Pavelows, as I have Predator-Harrier-Chopper, but I assumed it would work like Harrier.

Yes, there is a glitch with the Pave Low where it will not contribute towards your current killstreak unless you get a kill yourself after calling it in, and before it gets a kill. There's also a glitch where a care package Pave Low will count towards your killstreak - I know this is definitely true as I've experienced it myself.

I guess they still haven't fixed it.

Wiki said:
In Multiplayer, the Pave Low appears to be glitched. Sometimes Pave Low kills from a killstreak reward does not count against your current killstreak. This can sometimes be redeemed if you get a kill with your weapon after the Pave Low is called in, but before it gets a kill and if you have zero deaths. Also, sometimes Pave Low kills from a Care Package will count towards your killstreak, even if Care Package kills are not supposed to do that. A recent patch was supposed to fix this, but the bug still appears some times.

Recently I have seen.

Superfast mode.
Low Gravity.
People with colourful Xbox Buttons on their gamertag B X Y etc.

Just galls me that they don't fix it, but they have no problem in pushing out some more maps.

I believe these 2 are a result of modded jtagged Xboxes (coloured buttons definitely is), so it's not something IW can fix.

I've seen those a fair bit. One GT that did make me laugh was 'Press [X] for Sex' or something. hehe

It was not a care package, just normal. I called it in and waited so I could get my chopper gunner.Musty have racked up at least ten kills without getting it.One kill on my own and then bamb.Upgraded. Think I might move to stealth bomber. Desperatly want to get the carpet bomber title. That and the friends/enemys with benefits!!

Isn't that 480 hours total or equivalent of 20 days non stop? You must be an arts student.

I've also had an issue with Stingers missing Harriers and Hind's. They are supposed to be 'one shot kills' with a stinger as they don't have chaff like Pavelow/AC130/Chopper Gunner, but sometimes the Stinger still misses?! Don't know how/why.

(Yes, it locks on as it won't allow you to fire without lockon. And No, it's not hitting a building or something, it just goes right by the plane or heli.)

I have noticed that with the Harriers recently - I think its the angle the missile goes towards the Harrier, and hits the wash from the thrust going down.

If you move to change the angle, it generally works on the 2nd attempt.

(I'm sure it used to be 100% success when locked on though)
