Reports from the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 community are buzzing with news of a new glitch that’s causing some players to get a slithery twist. Players have reported that their characters suddenly appear as if they have been turned into a snake, slithering along the ground with their serpentine coils.
The glitch so far seems to only affect those who have chosen character customization options for their army suit. Although there is some speculation that the snake skin comes from a secret weapon found in the game, it’s likely that the odd glitch is just an unintended side effect of the customization options.
The phenomenon has been picked up on social media sites, where gamers have been sharing clips of their character in action, as well as venting their disappointment that such a “cool” glitch doesn’t last once the game is restarted. Meanwhile, some gamers wonder if the odd glitch opens up a new way of attacking enemies, as the snake animation for the character allows them to crawl through narrow cracks and past barricades.
For now, the Modern Warfare 3 glitch is causing frustrations and a range of headaches, as the players can no longer access the game, while others are loving the creative play it potentially opens up. As game developer Infinity Ward investigate the issue, it’s likely that the glitch will be accounted for in the next software update. Until then, players are left with a slithery twist to their experience.
