Talk:FGM-148 Javelin

Suicide Bombing?
I'm not sure how many people have seen this, but something I've seen in a couple of games recently s a "Suicide Javelin" class. Both people I've seen using it had a Riot Shield, a Javelin, and Marathon, Danger Close, and Commando for perks. They'd simply run around with their Javelin out and the instant you killed them the Javelin would automatically fire and explode. The KillCam didn't show anything out of the ordinary. Has anyone else seen this? Does anyone know how it's done?  Captain Baird  Comm-LinkService Record 03:35, December 2, 2009 (UTC)


 * I've not heard of this, no. Keep an eye open and hopefully someone'll find out. Moozipan Cheese 17:54, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I've just been reading about this glitch, and someone on GameFAQs explained it:

"You have to have a javeline and a symtex grenade on the same class. You take out your javeline...then you hold RB and cook the symtex for about a second. WIthout letting go of RB you hit Y to change back to your javeline...(after your javelins i back out you can take you rfinger off RB). Now after you do that, you can't climb ladders or mantle stuff if you want it to work. But you can jump if you want, and knife.

Basically what happens is, when someone kills you, the javeline missle pops out of the javeline, and explodes right next to you, killing anyone near you. It's funny."

Apparently it works with any launcher, but the Javelin has the biggest blast radius. Hopefully it'll get patched soon. Moozipan Cheese 18:03, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

I just don't understand why they would have reason to ban people for exploiting the glitch...I mean, it IS IW's fault that there was this glitch in the programming, and there is no mention of people hacking to use it...It seems a little overbearing of them to remove people for using their mistake. I don't recall anyone being banned for using an Ak47 ACOG with steady aim (Resulted in no barrel sway) in CoD4. Am I right??? This kinda makes me angry PShizzzzle 04:34, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

Pshizzzzle there has been a similar argument before in other games, namely 2 MMOs The First, is World of Warcraft. A player who supposedly had his items stolen by Real Money Traders, had them all returned. However, amongst his items, was a special item designed to only be used by Devs/GMs that killed anything within 30 feat of him. He, and the majority of his guild which benefited from runs with him wearing the item, were banned, and the guild was disbanded. The other case, was in Final Fantasy XI, where Square Enix Banned over 900+ Players (Permabans and Temp bans) for a glitch that allowed them to Duplicate extremely rare items. The reason was pointed to the game's ToS, which stated that Glitches were to not be exploited for advantages, and should be reported to GMs ASAP, which these players... never did... instead abusing it to get massive amounts of powerful gear, and gil. --Razgriez 04:41, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
