Call of Duty 4 Players too Elite for the forces of Time

Every gamer that has played Call of Duty: Modern Warfare pretty much loves the game. Unless you played it at your friends house and when you go home you realized that you have 64k dialup so you could never play the game. Well, if you aren’t one of those unfortunate 2 or 3 people, then you have probably realized that Infintiy Ward has just released a new patch for the game that prevents hackers and modders from firing their Semi-Automatic weapons at a fully automatic rate-of-fire using modded controllers or hacks.

So what did they add? They have added a .5 time limit before the gun can shoot again. The problem that arises is that some of the better players of the game can fire the trigger faster than the patch can load, so it can get very annoying to many people who are pulling the trigger only to see nothing happening on the screen. Honestly I think it was a bad decision on the companies part, and even a slight change could make more people happy. So the real question is, are they going to patch this new patch, or are they going to wait till Modern Warfare 2 and just say “fuck it” to all of the Modern Warfare players?
