I think a WTF is in order here. And before you scream "hacker," the guy who posted this was the host. More proof that this is most likely a glitch that has to do with the Maniac killstreak reward:
I mean Jesus Christ, how does shit like this slip through during the game's development? I mean, it's a PRETTY big oversight on Raven Software's part.
So um, I guess the point of this thread is to warn everyone not to equip the Maniac in their assault strike package. I know I won't be using it anytime soon.

I've gotten the maniac at least 4 times now, never ran into this. BTW just because someone is host doesn't mean a hacker can't exist, I played with one where I was host both games before he left.

Like I said it isn't definite, but I think it's a safe guess. Also pay attention to the killfeed - notice how guys on both teams are getting kills no problem and only the guy who posted the video, AKA the only one who used the Maniac in the entire match was affected.

Don't get me wrong, I ain't ridding IW's dick, we all know how badly they can fuck up. I just think there may be other reasons, in addition to IW can't into coding. I didn't notice what platform they were playing on but that may also affect it. IW hates PC and can't code for shit on PS3

Oh look, it's MW3!
I have a theory about the ammo problem- the moment when he loses all his spare ammo is the moment he actually dies (perhaps the game can't think fast enough to kill him on-screen but the ammo counter is sure fast enough): check out 2:13 in that first video and then watch 4:50. He was already dead, the game just didn't bother to tell him.
But then again this is why I'm waiting until a free weekend (and semi-official ascendance of the anti-6GB patch to non-bannable status and FoV changer; I won't spend 60 to upgrade) to buy this game.

Please don't watch the first video, save yourself some horrible 6 minutes, he is such a retard. The second is better in every way (including his face while seeing he didn't kill them with a knife ^_^) I say this is like, ah like uhm like just one glitch? I I I I can't even put into words how hard he is exaggerating. He found ONE glitch, which he is complaining about while sounding surprised the whole 6 minutes.... Really? If you haven't watched this video yet, don't, just don't. You can't compare it with any youtube noob, because it is worse, worse! I can not even put into words how big a retard this dude this Nice find though! We'll see if it is going to be a big issue, but probably not!

The ammo glitch also happened in the second video towards the end but he didn't die afterwards. Is this an xbox only glitch? I haven't noticed it at all on ps3 so far. And I thought this game had dedicated servers? It feels like it on ps3, I haven't gotten kicked from games or migrated host yet.

PC player here: No issues with Maniac seen so far. Platform-specific issue?

My guess for the first video is a glitch that causes weapons to deal 0/lower than usual damage. I do remember there being a few times in MW2 where you could get a hitmarker from knifing someone and they didn't die. But that guy was way over exaggerating what is obviously just a glitch. Had he shown this happening over 10+ matches then I'd see him as having a reason to complain.

I know on MW3, they had that temporary spawn protection against killstreaks that reduced damage. If you were holding a ballistic vest and tried to knife someone who just spawned, you would get hit markers. This looks like a 360 only issue, because no one I know on ps3 has seen this. I'm guessing it has something to do with the netcode on 360, seeing as they still have player hosts rather than dedicated servers like on ps3. In Infinity Ward's defense, they did have to build this game on 5 separate consoles/pc under the same time constraints as the other games. I do hope next gen consoles are better though, but that seems unlikely. For once, it seems ps3 got the best version so far .

I've never experienced this on the PS3. It's likely a rare-ish bug, but common enough for these guys who play a shit ton and YouTube their games to run into it. This isn't the end of the world.
Call of Duty has been shit for the last few releases, but this one feels like a solid step in the direction of what made MW2 so much fun and it feels good, and some people are in full force working to over state what are essentially minor issues. Patch the bugs asap and adjust the spawn mechanics; then we have a very solid CoD title which happens to be the spiritual successor to MW2.

Never ran into this on the xbox, though I never really ran the streak so I only got like 10 of them. Some of my friends have used it for a few days and never ran into this issue. This video reminds me of the cod4 xcal vs hacker video, and I've ran into a few hacks through bo2. It all seems much more like that than just a glitch, but who can tell for sure. It's certainly peculiar.

I'm guessing it has to do with getting the maniac while you're host. There is probably a hidden damage multiplier to maniac that gets amplified and carried over permanently after death when you're host. We know the maniac gives a movement speed multiplier and you can see their movement speeds completely fucking up in random moments of both of those videos.

I haven't gotten any host migrations yet, but I've gotten "lost connection to host" a couple of times. And I didn't DC or anything.

Volgon mentioned yesterday that he was getting hitmarkers with his throwing knives as a Maniac. We're on PC so it might not be 360 exclusive.

PC doesn't have dedicated servers either right? I'm thinking it has to do with getting the maniac as host.

PC has dedis, but nobody plays the game so they're laggy as shit.
