Infinity Ward has announced that a patch to fix the Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Javelin glitch will soon be made available on the consoles.

The technical quirk, which involves players exploding while holding the Javelin weapon, is said to have recently been exploited by some gamers to score extra points by suicide-bombing opponents.

In response, Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling said that Patch 1.06, which fixes the problem, has already been launched on PC and will soon be released on Xbox 360 and PS3.

Writing on the developer's official Twitter feed, he explained: "PC has the Javelin update already and is constantly getting matchmaking tweaks. 1.06 is the Javelin fix, care package glitch fix, and addresses areas where players could get into geo. Like rocks on Afghan.

"MW2 on PS3 just got update 1.05 which includes some improvements to matchmaking. Patch 1.06 is still coming down the pipeline.

"For those playing MW2 on Xbox 360. The same fixes that are in 1.06 are coming to you, it's currently in Microsoft cert. Out of my hands."
