ACall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2player captured a serious bug that basically gives players wallhacks in a video that has been garnering the attention of many members of the community. Many bugs and otherCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2balancing issues were spotted during the public testing phase, but this problem made it to the release date.
Reddit user ZFStatic recently shared a video in which the player dies, but is able to quickly ping their enemy to ensure that they can track them down upon respawn. Since the early days ofCall of Dutymultiplayer, players have been attempting to seek revenge on who killed them so much so that it became a medal in the game, and ZFStatic’s trick may simplify the experience. While manyCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2maps like Crown Raceway, Farm 18, and El Asilo feature plenty of nooks for players to hide behind after successfully defeating others, this technique basically disadvantages the player that’s potentially on a killstreak.

ZFStatic’s clip begins with the player dying on the Mercado Las Almas core map which is one of theten 6v6Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2mapsthat are available for launch. Quickly pinging their enemy as the death screen plays out, ZFStatic is able to highlight their location even if they move, something that the player can see through walls upon respawning. The red ping moves around as ZFStatic watches it while aiming their pistol before they run to the location of the marker and exact revenge on the player that had previously killed them.
Pinging is typically intended for players to give allies battlefield information without verbal communication, but this currentCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2system may result in some players getting more kills than they otherwise might. Because any player can seemingly utilize this bug to their benefit, some multiplayer matches may end up becoming a chain reaction of players killing the ones that defeated them until it’s eventually fixed with an update. Given that this ping system is used in theCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2Ground Wargame mode as well, it’s likely that it affects more aspects of the game than just the core modes and maps, whileWarzone 2may skip the issue entirely.
Although several players have accused others of usingCall of Dutywallhacksin previous titles, some Reddit users have pointed out that this comment may hold more weight inCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. As some players have thanked ZFStatic for pointing out the exploit ahead of its removal, others have branded the ping as “broken.”
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
