Just when the notorious "javelin glitch" has been fixed, a brand new exploit for Modern Warfare 2 has come along to keep Infinity Ward on its toes. According to Destructoid reader John, and reports collected around the Internet, the new glitch allows players to obtain unlimited XP and ammunition on private games.
This exploit can be applied to any map and any gametype, and when you get eighteen players together, it has been described as "carnage." Our reader was able to get over 400 kills and 20,000 XP in a single game of Domination.
Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling has confirmed that the glitch is real, and that people are working on it. Meanwhile, we'll sit tight and wait for the next big cheat to arrive.

Oh, theres also a lot of riot shield boosting going on. None of this stuff really bothers me as its not like the javelin glitch where its completely gamebreaking and annoying.
In this is the case... does it really matter?
How slow am I that I just got where your avatar is from?

when it's a problem on the PS3 it's sonys fault .... this mean now it's microsoft fault right :)
I think the glitch is making private matches work as if they were ranked. I just looked it up on youtube and saw a lot of tutorials titled private match xp glitch.
no game is shipped clean...all games have bugs. Bigger games like this one can get away with it. thank goodness i don't deal with functional testing anymore...Complaince testing FTW!
Infinity Ward can't catch a break, huh?
I figure this was discovered before the patch and whoever knew kept it under their hats so as to get the most use out of it before another patch is released.
It spills accross onto matchmaking. I dont know if the same glitches are on PSN because I plau XBL but everynow and again it changes the lobby to a 18 player game where the host and a few other players can change every setting of the game.
at least they aren't interfering with the rest of the rooms game... cept for the nuke.
