The problems with Modern Warfare 2 keep piling up. The cause might just be that so many people are playing this game so much that every imbalance is quickly found and exploited and every glitch becomes news across the internet. But this problem should have been spotted by developers – after all, the noob tubes tended to be unpopular among veteran players in the first installment of the Modern Warfare series. It’s hard to understand why the developers would give players a way to nearly instantly reload noob tubes and equipment.

This video by a very talkative and strongly opinionated gamer clearly illustrates the problem with the perk One Man Army, which allows the player to swap classes at any time, and its use in combination with Danger Close Pro, which increases explosive weapon damage (the Pro upgrade increases air support damage).

In this video, the player reaches an ungodly amount of kills in a game of Domination before being disconnected halfway through the match (he is confident that he could have easily gotten 150 kills). For those of you too lazy to watch videos or those with slow internet connections, here’s a shorter and less bandwidth-hungry explanation of how the trick works:

1. Use Danger Close-overpowered noob tubes and claymores to get easy kills.

2. Repeat step 1, using One Man Army when out of ammunition to select the same class again, refilling all noob tubes and claymores.

3. Use overpowered (Danger Close Pro) Predator Missile to get 2 kills.

4. Use overpowered Harrier Strike to get 4 kills (generally easy on most maps)

5. Spam Chopper Gunner with overpowered explosive rounds (Danger Close Pro) to get lots of kills.

Also illustrated in the video is the oft-problematic spawn system, which can make it difficult to escape instant death when one spawns with explosive rounds raining down on one’s head.

Having never played Modern Warfare 2 on PS3 (as demonstrated in the video), I’m not sure if it’s a system difference, but in the 360 version I play swapping classes using One Man Army takes a bit longer to complete, but it’s not a deal-breaker.

The fact that the player can simply reload the same class again just seems ridiculous. At least make the player use two of his precious Custom Class slots to do so. And for realism’s sake, if not for game balance, it only makes sense that the player would have a limited amount of times he could change classes.

I would not go so far as some have to say Modern Warfare 2 is a broken game, or that it’s necessarily bad. But there are obviously some more changes Infinity Ward needs to make to balance its hugely popular game.
