Lol you strengthened my point. Those aren't game breaking glitches. You can do them, but they require some amount of work to achieve, and they're present in just about every game (you could run outside the map in CoD WaW if you rocket jump).
BC2 on release was not stable. Not only did it crash frequently (at least, for me and a couple friends) but it also had texture glitches and the server browser/matchmaking were terrible. Plus, in the previous patch that should have fixed those errors, it had the infamous "no knifing from behind" bug, among other things, which clearly prevents you from doing something you should be able to do.
I'm far from a CoD fanboy (I suggested he purchase BC2), but when companies release unfinished products, you can't just lay down and ignore it.
But whatever, this thread's purpose was served (congrats on the buy!) and it need not be trolled any longer by myself.
