The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare community has grown accustomed to strange sighting in their games, due to Modern Warfare‘s various quirks and bugs.
From guns turning into dogs in Warzone to players simply falling through the floor in Modern Warfare, new glitches pop up frequently. When they are expected, they make for an entertaining diversion. Things get strange when the unexpected happens, as one unfortunate Reddit user saw in the middle of their match.

Reddit user Monsieur Salty was playing a Hardcore Multiplayer match in Modern Warfare when they suddenly noticed something odd about their teammate. Their body was gone and they were simply floating away slowly as a head, rifle, and sidearm. The player watched as their ally floated through the wall to distant unknown lands.
In a moment of comedy, the clip ends with MonsieurSalty blowing himself up as he had seen too much already. This “ghost” glitch has been appearing around the game since the last patch. Players report slow drifting figments, zooming rifles, and other strange occurrences in their matches all looking graphically similar to this clip. No one is sure what is causing it, but it does make for an interesting moment when players are not expecting it.
From fans suggesting that the player is simply joining the either to well-timed “Mr. Price, I don’t feel so good” jokes, the community is handling this small bug well. The problem seems to be graphical as there are no players reporting the other side of this story. It could be that Modern Warfare’s engine has created a figment of where a player was, and then with no input, the engine lets players watch as it simply floats away.
Although this is not a destructive bug, fans still find it odd and downright funny to see a floating head mid-combat. Players in the comments report that they can not interact with the figment putting more evidence towards a graphical glitch as its main cause.
Players can expect the bug to persist until the next game patch. Until then, the best thing to do is gather footage of this glitch and submit it to Activision through any of their channels. For a good laugh, fans can contribute to the growing library on Reddit of figment related clips and videos being posted on the main Modern Warfare Reddit page.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
