THE BUZZ: Infinity Ward has issued a warning to players who are exploiting a glitch on the new Black Box multiplayer map in Modern Warfare 3.

The glitch allows players to get under the map and those using it may find themselves banned.

“There’s a glitch in Black Box that allows you to get under the map. Fix already in the works, out by Friday. Don’t exploit, we’ll be banning,” said Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling.

EGM’s TAKE: The lesson here, don’t cheat, it gets you nowhere. Imagine getting banned for this, how stupid would that person feel? It’s good to see that Infinity Ward is taking any form of cheating seriously in order to avoid a repeat of what happened to Modern Warfare 2, which basically became a lawless state where everyone was glitching or cheating in some way.
