Now that the exploding men and unrelenting rain of crates have been taken care of, it would seem a new issue has arisen in Modern Warfare 2. Specifically, a bug in the Xbox Live matchmaking assignments is reportedly dumping playlist searchers into private matches. (Nothing’s worse than being teamed with the lowest ranking players, after all.)
Penny Arcade’s Gabe tweeted (warning: foul language through link) that he had encountered the issue several times. Meanwhile, Infinity Ward’s man in the trenches, Robert “fourzerotwo” Bowling, confirmed the issue is known and that a fix is currently in the works.

Are your Avatars ill-equipped to raid a terrorist safe house? Well, good news: Infinity Ward community manager Robert Bowling (aka fourzerotwo) revealed Modern Warfare 2 gear will soon be available for players to purchase on Xbox Live’s Avatar Marketplace.
Revealed in a recent Tweet, Bowling stated that Infinity Ward will upload the content to Xbox Live tomorrow — which includes the Ghost outfit pictured above. In an email to Joystiq, Bowling confirmed the content will be made available for purchase tomorrow. Until then, we’ll sleep soundly knowing that the Avatar world will soon be safe from terrorist scum.

During an interview with Develop, Infinity Ward’s front-line man, Robert “fourzerotwo” Bowling, recalled the early planning stages of Modern Warfare 2. Unsurprisingly, publisher and owner Activision was eager to pour money into the development of the COD4 sequel, following the basic business formula: more money = better product = more sales = more money. Infinity Ward followed another school of thought: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
“Much like we don’t let ourselves get distracted by hype, if you have excess you feel like you should use excess,” Bowling said. Even though Activision “estimated out a ridiculous budget” early on, Infinity Ward “didn’t let the budget affect [its] mentality.” Since Infinity Ward apparently didn’t take the money (or, at least, all of it), we do have a pretty good idea of what Activision spent it on: night-vision goggles for everyone!
