Modern Warfare 2 players on TikTok have figured out a way to imitate the “wallrun” feature from the jetpack age of Call of Duty.

There have already been a number of fixes either promised or already deployed, and while this hasn’t made the list quite yet, the devs will assuredly at it to the list of things that needs to be updated.
