MW2 Glitch Fix Coming, Glitchers Suspended From XBL

A fix for the Modern Warfare 2 glitch is on the way, but in the meantime, those using it will be suspended from Xbox LIVE.

Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling revealed via Twitter that "Javelin Glitch is currently in test. Once it's cleared, we'll be urging it through Microsoft & Sony certification as fast as possible."

Hopefully, those of you playing on 360, at least, won't have to worry too much about the suicide-bombing glitch until the patch is released - Xbox LIVE enforcer Stephen Toulouse has also been doing a bit of Tweeting, revealing that "While IW works on getting the MW2 glitch fixed, people we catch using it will receive suspensions from LIVE. Play fair everyone :>"

"Using a glitch in a game to get an advantage is explicitly called out in the TOU. It's not like people are doing it by accident," Toulouse explained, later adding "Wow some of you think cheating a glitch is ok. um.If I install my car stereo wrong and it disables my door locks, its not ok to STEAL MY CAR." [sic]

Cheating suspensions, apparently, are 24 hours for the first offense, but can be up to two weeks. As such, if you want to keep playing on XBL, avoid the glitch.

No word on whether Sony will be doing similar or if VAC will pick this up on PC, but the latter has just banned 2,500 Modern Warfare 2 cheaters.
