Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 players are at it again. Not content with defying both divine and natural law with MW2’s superman trick<\/a>, they’ve now developed a frustrating and nightmarish movement technique they’re calling the “G Walk,” which turns them into some kind of speedy, barely-targetable primate. You can see what I mean below.<\/p>\n

Originally spotted by Jake Lucky on Twitter<\/a>, the trick appears to let players alternate between a prone and standing position without any of that tedious ‘animation’ business in-between, which has the unnerving effect of making them look like quadrupedal beasts loping towards you at a million miles per hour. As you can imagine, it also makes them pretty difficult to target with your limited human appendages.<\/p>\n

Although you can mark me down as ‘strongly in favour’ of this kind of glitch-based lunacy in major multiplayer games, not everyone has taken to the G Walk with quite the same enthusiasm. While some players find it amusing (and some are desperately trying to replicate the glitch themselves), a lot of people are irritated by these antics. More than a few of the replies to Lucky’s tweet come from people bemoaning the fact that people aren’t playing the game properly, or worried that the trick will start ruining their matches.<\/p>\n

To be fair, they have a point, and I don’t doubt that this glitch is already on a to-do list somewhere for a future patch to MW2. Still, it’s hard not to be a bit amused when your opponent, decked head-to-toe in hi-tech military gear, suddenly hunkers down on all fours and starts bounding toward you like a werewolf on a full moon. We’ll miss it when it’s gone.<\/p>\n

It’s far from the first bug in MW2 and it certainly won’t be the last. Before G Walking, Modern Warfare 2 players had to contend with maps containing giant invisible walls<\/a>, issues surrounding the game’s friends list<\/a>, and a UI so unparseable that players started dreaming up alternatives<\/a> themselves. It’s a good job that Modern Warfare 2 is so good<\/a> despite all that, or we might all have gotten bored before we got a chance to glitch ourselves into killer apes.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
