Modern Warfare 2 controversially removed red dots from the minimap during multiplayer matches unless a UAV is active. In previous COD titles, a red dot would reveal an enemy\u2019s location if they fired an unsuppressed weapon. Community members slammed the decision, but Infinity Ward stood by it and claimed they didn\u2019t \u201cwant to punish players for firing their weapons.\u201d The devs also wanted players to be more reactive instead of just chasing red dots for an entire match. An over-reliance on UAVs for intel has proven to be a major issue in Season 4, as a bug prevents them from functioning properly. UAV bug plagues Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer matches The XclusiveAce explained how UAVs are broken in Season 4. Only Advanced UAVs can track an enemy\u2019s movement in real-time as they move around the map, but a bug also allows standard UAVs to do the same. This is an issue because it only takes three kills to get a standard UAV, but 12 for an Advanced UAV. To make matters worse, the bug is inconsistent and randomly appears. \u201cIt turns out this bug is worse than I thought because it\u2019s just inconsistent. It doesn\u2019t apply to every match, and I can\u2019t determine whether or not the UAV is broken or not in a match.\u201d TheXclusiveAce discovered three different UAV patterns, and each one did not work properly. The UAV is supposed just to show a brief snapshot of an enemy\u2019s location, but each match seems to break the kill streak in a unique fashion. \u201cAs of right now, this is the most serious issue plaguing Modern Warfare 2\u2019s multiplayer and needs to be fixed.\u201d The YouTuber\u2019s biggest gripe is that he has no way of even knowing if a UAV is working properly or if other players get an advantage with the tracking UAV. Without an official fix, the best players can do for now is equip the Ghost perk to go undetected by UAVs.
