Getting Banned on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Starting December 2, Xbox live will be banning anyone who frequently abuses the "javelin glitch". Basically whats happens is a player switches to the javelin missile launcher after cooking a semtex grenade by holding down the grenade throw button. This locks the player's actions, but once the player dies the javelin missile explodes, killing all enemies in the area. The punishment for the exploitation of this glitch will result in a banning of up to 24 hours, a week and in some cases maybe even permanently.

I don't see why this is such a big deal. Activision is just mad because someone found a loophole in the multiplayer. This kind of stuff happens all the time, and I don't know why this is making so much news. This is no different than the martyrdom perk, where a player drops a live grenade after dying. They are planning to fix the glitch in their next patch so I don't know why they feel the need to ban people. Kudos to who ever found the glitch. Keep on gaming.
