"Derail" glitch

[Frankie7512]

Okay I was playing Domination on Derail tonight and was getting killed over on "C" and I was looking at the killcam and the view was a weird one. So I look over that way and sure enough on the map I see a red dot over off the map way behind the big power line towers over by "C". Way off behind there behind a hill there was a damn sniper over snipin people.First time I seen these and even heard of it so I thought I would post about it.

its been out there for a while actually. Not too many people do it. Although we are seeing more and more carepackage glitches and endless airdrop glitching lately.....

Oldschoola said i was getting patched this weekend. Not sure if thats true or just wishful thinking

Not that I am going to do it...but how are they getting out their on derail? is it just a way to do it? or part of the glitch?

Sure, sure.....

yeah trust me...I am not good enough to know how to do these things let alone snipe from a long distance or any distance for that matter.

Well after looking around online I guess they use the "elevator" glitch ,which I seen quite a bit on W@W but eventually it was fixed,where you do certain things in a certain spot and it elevates you real high off the ground and in this case you move a lil bit off the map then u drop down and then they walk all the way back over by where "C" is and just drop a tactical insertion I believe and then sit back there and snipe of people.Do a youtube search u will see what I am talkin about.

As for the patch here is what I got over on IW website,my guess is next time we see a software update these fixes will be in place.

We've updated the PC version of Modern Warfare 2, including the following fixes:

- Care Package, Emergency Airdrop, and Sentry Gun marker grenades sprint speed normalized.
- Fix for "infinite care package" exploit.
- Sentry Guns: Improved placement detection, preventing cases of Sentry Guns inside geometry.
- Model 1887: Bling using Akimbo and FMJ combination now has same range and damage as non-Bling Model 1887s.
- Improved player collision removing cases of getting into geometry and 'elevators'.
- Mouse latency tweaks for more mouse movement consistency. (PC-ONLY)
- Fixes to prevent various texture (PC-ONLY) and XP hacks.

These fixes, excluding the ones I've labeled as (PC-ONLY), are currently in test for the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions as well. Before you ask why there is a delay from PC to consoles, it's because we can update IW-NET directly and therefore the fastest. The console versions require additional testing through their respective manufacturers.

Thank goodness. That care package shit was getting annoying.

Model 1887: Bling using Akimbo and FMJ combination now has same range and damage as non-Bling Model 1887s.

^ This is the one that I was bitching about last night. If you bling the Akimbo's then it's like they were never nerfed. IW fucked that one up and this patch corrects it.
