Since its release, players have been using the bugs left inCall of Duty: Modern Warfareto their advantage. Although developer Infinity Ward has been addressing these issues in its weekly updates, some, like theGulag bug in theWarzonegame mode,continue to be exploitable. However, one particular glitch has frustrated players to the point that they are calling for the developer to patch it immediately.
According to player reports, the weapons that they throw and fire are disappearing in midair after they die. This has led to players being unable to complete trade kills, or to kill their opponents in their final moments. While previous visibility glitches have affectedModern Warfarebefore, such as the bug in whichplayers were able to see through smoke without thermal vision,a video from the game’ssubreddit reveals how this bug is different and unpredictable.

In the clip, Reddit user MrSmashAndDash demonstrates the bug inCall of Duty: Modern Warfare, when the knife he throws at his enemy vanishes as he is shot to death. Other commenters chimed in, noting that they had also failed to kill other players with thermite, RPGs and other projectiles, in which the game made the firing noise, but failed to follow through. Some reports claimed that the glitch was inconsistent, and that sometimes, players would be able to finish killing their opponents post-mortem in extremely similar circumstances. Many agreed that Infinity Ward needed to investigate the issue and figure out what was going wrong.
This is notModern Warfare’sfirst glitch impacting the ability to hit enemies. In another incident,the glass in the Ground War maponly allowed players to wound one another from one side of the glass, leaving the other players unable to return fire. Although Infinity Ward has not addressed this glitch as quickly as others, the complexity and inconsistency surrounding the error might make it difficult for the developer to find a solution. Hopefully, when the problem, whether it is latency-related or not, is identified, a patch will be quickly dispersed.
Until then,Modern Warfareplayers still have plenty to look forward to. With aModern Warfare 2remaster potentially on the horizon anda new Cabin Fever playlist,diehard fans will be able to keep busy in quarantine.
