You cannot honestly tell me that if you were designing this game, you'd have thought of the PRECISE button combination and conditions to do the CP glitch?
Infinity Ward have ~100 employees, MW2 has sold around ~10 MILLION copies, plus around ~2 MILLION pirated copies, so that's 120,000x more people to find glitches than IW. By law of probability, we're more likely to find it.
You are a consumer, you take what you are given and give feedback on it to the Company.
Hopefully soon you wake up and realise that game manufacturers are NOT your friends. They are there for the sole purpose of making money.
Taking nothing from your rant, but just think about it some more next time.
Wrong. Another sheep being led astray by the flock.
First off, our money is their power, they are only in business because we allow them to be.
Activision's 2009 Annual 10-K report list the number of employees at 7000 strong. InfinityWard is owned by Activision and thats far from the 100 you claim.
Here's the 10-K report, if you would like to read it.

Secondly, this is certainly no ordinary group of employees! We are talking Computer Engineers, Programmers, Developers, Designers, Artist and Network Professionals. These people write and decode 1000's and 1000's of line of code and process this into a game, not to mention the extensive testing involved and education level required to do this type of work.
Are you telling me that these high-skilled, highly-trained workers couldn't figure out that pressing right on the d-pad, pressing A to climb and in the middle of the climb press right again. That’s D-pad Right, A, and D-pad Right gives you a extra care package, but some 13 year old in the middle of Iowa did.
Wrong, they knew all long and
THEY CHOSE not to fix it before the game released hoping nobody would find it. That’s plain out wrong and in fact is a conspiracy.
Thirdly, Probability is not a science, it's a theory. A theory on how likely something is to happen. Science is if I place this # 1 here in this line of code then that computer will flash on and off. So thats not even a valid argument.
Lastly, Activision owns World of Warcraft; The # 1 most profitable and played game in history of mankind. Where are the hacks in that game? Can someone please hack the World of Warcraft servers and put me on top and max my character out. Anybody? No. Because they actually cared about that game enough to insure that would not happen. If you can’t see the writing on the wall, I cannot spell it out any clearer. They wanted this to happen, they planned it that way, and we took the bait and the gaming community will suffer dearly from it. Have you ever thought what it will be like when you blurt out a series of expletives and get banned for 48 hours because of foul language? Think about it. I don’t get my cable cut off because I yell cuss words at the TV when my team is losing. Why is this industry any different?
Now go hack this game because it might every well be the last major game to allow this.

Very well said, but if you are so convinced that this game is crap, why do insist on completing 100% of the game? It must be very painful to play a game this long while HATING it to the core. Isn't it?
Didn't feel that way till yesterday after I could not secure the last piece of Intel.
I did however feel the Multiplayer was garbage from the get go.
