Call of Duty: Modern Warfare added in a brand new survival game mode that has been drawing community attention. In this wave-based survival experience, players must take on never-ending AI troops using a variety of Modern Warfare gear and killstreaks. The goal is to survive for as long as possible, but as the game progresses things quickly start to get out of control.
While most players battle to rounds 30 or 40, some fans have found a way to exceed 100 and trigger some extremely game-breaking issues. While the difficulty in each Call of Duty: Modern Warfare survival round continues to grow, players' only chance for survival is to change up their tactics and go with whatever strange thing happens in that round.
It was during round 104 that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare player Darkplac3 discovered an interesting bug. During this round, the game throws everything from troops to choppers at the players. Seeing as Darkpalc3 and his friends had Juggernaut suits, they decided to unleash chaos upon the helicopter assault only to cause them to blow up and get stuck spinning in the air.
During the clip, fans can clearly see Darkplac3 unleashing rounds from his Juggernaut upon the remaining chopper while its companions simply spin in place ablaze with fire and smoke. Rough estimates suggest there are around 7 or 8 active helicopters all spinning in place rather then descending to their death.
If you wondered what it looks like when all the choppers bug out @ lvl 104 on survival, this is it. from modernwarfare
Many fans wonder how the game was able to progress so long. For many players, the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare survival game mode crashes at round 34 due to the population of the match alone. The fact that these players could not only double but triple the estimated rounds before crashing makes many players wonder what causes the error in the first place.
To reach level 104, these players had to be going for at least two or three hours. One fan in the comment said that they were able to finish level 95 only after two hours of gameplay. Keep in mind that Modern Warfare weapons, killstreaks, and the number of players can all cause variances in-game time, but that doesn't change how high up level 104 is compared to most player's records.
Still, seeing all those helicopters spinning in the air is a unique sight. It is unknown what triggers the bug that glitches them in place, but the post's author does state that the helicopters disappear at the end of each round. Players only know this because Darkplac3 and his teammates were able to push the round count two more levels before ending the game.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
