Javelin glitches are still happening on the PS3. I thought the update that was released yesterday was supposed to fix it.
Also, you can do it with other weapons as well. I tried using the Stinger and a claymore, and it works just the same. Hopefully IW will get this fixed because it's pretty annoying. Especially on the PS3 where no one is getting banned for it.
Back to the fifty other games worth playing this fall, I guess...
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Game » consists of 22 releases. Released Nov 10, 2009

Javelin glitch still unpatched on PS3
" I've found it still works on 360 as well so I don't think they've patched it yet. Also I only tried it once against a team of people who were doing it so it was justified and if I get banned for doing it once that would be stupid. "It's not use and immediate suspension. The probable way of suspending (ban is a different matter) is by number of file complaints.
"Like Xbox Live, there is a certification process. Have patience like the Coalesce song. "
What happened to that magic update technology Infinity Ward promised us, the stuff which was meant to patch the game dynamically as you play, eliminating any need for certifications?
fuck it. i don't care. i played a few matches doing it, won like 4 free for all's in a row by a landslide doing it. it was fun while it lasted, but you cant get any killstreaks. so its stupid after a while. its just really funny at first.
Probably was meaning PC version but I might be wrong. Well unless they patch it for cloud computing, it will never happen." @ThePhantomnaut said:

I'm sad that I couldn't join you guys, I really wanted to.
But I had a couple of people over for some mindless drinking which then ended up being me and and 2 friends (ex and my friend through 12 years now) drinking Absinthe.
So we would have been annoying to play with, I hope it will get done again at some point and I will join for sure.
You run around like a retard with a javelin on your back and when you die it explodes. It gets pretty annoying especially when your about to get a killstreak and bam javelin glitch kills you.

It's not fixed on the 360 yet either. I just played a game less then 5 minutes ago that someone on the other team was using it. He got first place at 38 kills 36 deaths.

Meaning, your gun needs to be on your back, not the Javelin.
Not bums were hurting though, so we're safe.. I think :P
^ ROFL wow, what a time to stumble into the thread, eh?
Anyway the more I play against people using the Jav glitch, the more it seems useless to me. I mean the dude who did best with it last night went 31-30. Now I know there are people who struggle to keep their KDR above 1.0 so no disrespect. But if you have to abuse the easiest way to get points just because you want to level up fast, I only have one thing to say:
Still isn't patched in the Xbox 360 version either as of yesterday.
It pisses me off so much that so many people would use it, but even more that something so stupid would get by Infinity Ward.
" yeah, during a Bombing Run we encountered quite a few of em. they were annoying, and i hope they fix it soon "@Skye said:
" @AjayRaz: We still raped them. "Looks like the glitch isn't as game breaking as we thought. As usual everybody loves to bitch about anything even if its a glitch.
" @AjayRaz: that comment was more aimed at the OP (and others like him) that just wants a knee jerk patch on any glitch without seeing if it really breaks the game or just changes the way you play it. "That just strikes me as bad logic. Just because a glitch isn't gamebreaking, it still is a glitch and should be fixed ASAP by the devs.
" @StaticFalconar said:No what you have is bad logic. If anything whether its a glitch or not actually is game breaking, then of course devs should patch that. But if it doesn't break the game then it just simply changes the way you play the game.

" @kmdrkul said:That's ridiculous. Not only is your definition of "game breaking" flat out wrong (the javelin bug breaks the game, as a weapon it functions differently than it is supposed to, IE broken) but you are telling me that developers should completely ignore the glitches that their shoddy testing and quality department missed and we should just "live with it?" How on Earth are you supposed to "change the way you play" when the person exploiting the glitch is essentially a walking bomb? How is it not game breaking to be able to run at your enemy and get instant kill(s) without even having to shoot the weapon yourself? Really, why would you even bother arguing against the removal of any type of glitch, no matter how big or small? I could understand your original sentiment to the OP if he was complaining about something that wasn't actually a problem (his M-16 is overpowered, it's still unpatched!...) but in reality it's one of the biggest issues with the game right now." @StaticFalconar said:No what you have is bad logic.
