FormaL & Clayster call out CDL pros for exploiting minimap bug ActivisionWith the Call of Duty League main season done and dusted, some notable CoD pros have banded together and encouraged Infinity Ward to fix the \u2018start glitch\u2019 before CDL Champs kicks off. An exploit which originally surfaced in MW2 has made an unsolicited return to Modern Warfare, mere weeks before the start of the biggest Call of Duty event in the game\u2019s history. Aptly referred to as the \u2018start glitch,\u2019 the exploit allows players to briefly locate their enemies\u2019 position on the minimap by opening up the start menu during the killcam players see after dying. With a total of $4.6 million up for grabs at CDL Champs in August, Huntsmen\u2019s FormaL and co. have expressed their concerns with the glitch still being in the game as we approach the first ever online world championships for Call of Duty. Following the Chicago Huntsmen\u2019s early exit during CDL Toronto, the former world champ urged the developers to fix the glitch, given the obvious implications it can have on the CDL Champs. \u201cThey need to fix this start glitch (or whatever), I didn\u2019t know it was like that,\u201d FormaL began in his Tweet. \u201cAnd if you\u2019re a pro and you used it this weekend, you\u2019re just a weirdo and should feel ashamed even though I know you probably don\u2019t\u2026 \u2018The other team is doing it blah, blah.\u2019\u201d They need to fix this start glitch or whatever I didn\u2019t know it was like that\u2026 and if you\u2019re a pro and you used it this weekend you\u2019re just a weirdo and should feel ashamed even though I know you probably don\u2019t. \u201cThe other team is doing it blah blah\u201d \u2014 OpTic FormaL (@FormaL) July 27, 2020 London Royal Ravens\u2019 Flex player, Matthew \u2018skrapz\u2019 Marshall, was quick to draw parallels to how long it took Infinity Ward to nerf the MP5, saying: \u201cMatt, it took nine months to nerf the MP5. Chalk it brother, grind out this month do everything you can in your power to try to win Champs.\u201d Matt, it took 9 months to nerf the MP5. Chalk it brother, grind out this month do everything you can in your power to try win champs then we get on the WZ grind \ud83e\udd42 \u2014 skrapz (@skrapzg) July 27, 2020 With that in mind, Subliners\u2019 Tommy \u2018ZooMaa\u2019 Paparatto suggested turning off killcams as a temporary solution before Champs. And while this is far from ideal, it would avoid players being able to unfairly gain an advantage via the exploit. FormaL wasn\u2019t the only one to call for a fix, with Dallas Empire\u2019s James \u2018Clayster\u2019 Eubanks also venting his concerns. Huntsmen\u2019s Alec \u2018Arcitys\u2019 Sanderson swiftly replied, suggesting Modern Warfare\u2019s glitch has teams \u201cthrowing integrity out of the window,\u201d which is no surprise, considering the amount of cash that is on the line. lol mw got everyone throwing integrity out the window cause we cant trust\/know if other teams are doing it back awesome \u2014 alec (@Arcitys) July 26, 2020 Of course, there\u2019s still time left for Infinity Ward to push out a hotfix to resolve the issue before Champs begins on August 20. Although, it\u2019s worth noting that the bug is yet to appear on the developer\u2019s Issue Tracker at the time of writing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
