Old Modern Warfare 2 Glitches Are Back

2010-03-22T14:21:00.002+00:00

Over the months since Modern Warfare 2 released the game has been plagued with many glitches and hacks that have ruined the experience for many gamers and have been heavily publicized.

Luckily every time Infinity ward have stepped up and fixed these issues within a reasonable time limit.

However now it would seem that all their work was for nothing the majority of these glitches have returned as hackers have found a new way to implement them.

The first being The Javelin glitch however now it is done using Semtex, the next is the ammo glitch allowing you to fire chopper ammo from your gun. Finally the Ice Skating glitch is back, I don't know how they have managed it but they are making Infinity Ward look stupid and are ruining the game for us all.

Brink To Take Customization "To The Next Level"

2010-03-22T00:12:00.002+00:00

Splash Damage's Creative Director Richard Ham has come out and said that Brink will take customization in game "to the next level".

I'm not quite sure how to categorize the current level of in game customization but obviously changing every aspect of your body and face isn't quite good enough, and I say more is better.

Ham went on to say, "I think players are going to be really surprised by the sheer number of new items, abilities, weapons, weapon add-ons, and outfits they can earn as they play."

So there you have it I'm really looking forward to this game and Brink will release on the Xbox 360 and PS3 later this year.
