There have been instances in the past where players can\u2019t help from dying immediately after a match starts, but this time it looks like some people could be using an early game exploit to get an advantage. It\u2019s unclear how the player in question is able to move before the round\u2019s countdown timer elapses, but they were consistently able to set up early picks by abusing the technique throughout a match. The gameplay captured by Reddit user \u2018knestleknox\u2019 shows them and their teammate loading into the map and waiting for the Gunfight match to start. Before the countdown goes to single-digits, the red silhouette of an enemy is already making its way up the Docks steps to get a clear vantage point of the players who have yet to be released from the countdown\u2019s hold. Five seconds were still on the clock for knestleknox to move when their opponent was already looking through the window and lining up a shot. With three seconds left on the countdown, the glitched player was already taking shots waiting for the round to start and get a quick kill. \u201cThey started every round after this in a position I know they couldn\u2019t have gotten to in time unless they were able to keep doing this,\u201d knestleknox explained. \u201cI was wondering how they were 6-0 on all their prior games.\u201d The bug has cropped up during Season 1 but more players have been coming across the glitch ever since the Season 2 update with similar effects. \u201cThis is a bug,\u201d user \u2018RealDrMToboggan\u2019 said. \u201cSince the update, I\u2019m able to move around the map a few seconds before everyone else can move. I\u2019m sure it\u2019ll be fixed soon.\u201d Though knestleknox isn\u2019t convinced it\u2019s simply a bug since the other player \u201cimmediately took off to kill me as you can see and didn\u2019t even hesitate over the fact that they could move.\u201d In either case, this is something that Infinity Ward would be quick to fix since it could threaten the competitive integrity of matchmaking games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Frustrating Modern Warfare bug gives enemies a head start in rounds Infinity WardA bizarre Modern Warfare bug is letting players get a head start in matches, giving the other side no chance to counter.
