MW2 hackers, !!!!!!!
#31
Although the hackers are concentrating on this game, they have broken the funadamental security within PS3, which could easily spread.

I thought some games, like Black Ops, put additional security in the game over than the PS3 security... or can that be hacked now as well?
Oh dear, it's not looking good for Sony, but I thought the Xbox was hacked too.... why is this so much worse for the PS3?

I have to say that there doesn't seem to be any issues with the Xbox and hacking on COD games, I know some people resent getting their consoles blocked but with whats going on with the PS3 I fully support it

Shame, waste of a good game
I've been playing MW2 on xbox for over a year now, got 14 days playing time (sad I know) and theres only been 2 occasions where its been stupidly hacked like whats happeneing in a majority of the ps3 games now
Should have bought an Xbox

I havnt had my PS3 long so all this online stuff is new to me. I was on the other night and all players were jumping over building etc, it was crap, i presumed it was a cheat and left the game, touch wood it hasnt ruined my score etc.
dont get me wrong im up for a laugh but i think some of these sad geeks need to get out a little more and stop ruining the game for everyone else

Before I went on today I hadn't played it for months and was 5th prestige. Now I'm 10 prestige with everything unlocked.
A laugh at first, being able to jump miles in the air etc, but pretty much ruins the game and has taken all the sense of achievement out of it.

I thought they might as well, but if you think about it they've had all their money out it now. Unless they bring out another map pack there wouldn't be much point. Pretty pish!

No they ain't going to sort it, they want people to move on to the new COD games so it's not really in their interest.
Especially as it is rumored that MW:3 will be coming out in November

Well had to see it for myself and funny enough first game of headquarters was a hacked game people can jump 300 foot in the air also a guy on the other team had some sort of aimbot he was 56 - 0 and on his kill cam his gun flicked to every enemy player also on his screen the enemy had a red box around them
quit and managed to get a normal game of teamdeath match they have wrecked the game though - miss it compaired to black ops which is ok I guess

Shawn, this is the first i've read this thread and i never thought it was as bad as this!
I know you asked the other day, but at the time it was ok games, but with a few guys that were stuttering a lot and you couldn't shoot them. They could shoot you just fine though.
I've played maybe 20 or so matches in TDM, but non of them have had any of the things described....maybe it's just my good luck and i'm currently touching wood.
I mostly play around lunchtime, so maybe this is when the muppets aren't online...?

So this hack where all your stats are changed....how does it actually happen then? Do you have to reply to a message first? Maybe turning the modem off during the match, would stop a hack getting through, or are you already screwed?

Me and my big mouth!
Got into a hacked game earlier and that was MTDM. Quickly came out of the match and went straight into a group of decent blokes.....i got pumped silly, but at least it was fair.

Well i'm well and truely HACKED OFF with these W@nkers . I cant get a decent game . I think we should all make a petition to sony as i'm so fed up, i'm seriously considering buying the x box instead as they don't seem to have the same problems . Also i was told today that ps are going to start charging to go online in the near future ? So what is the real real advantage of the ps ?

Infinity Ward blame Sony for MW2 hacking outbreak

As reported last week, the issue of hacking on PS3′s incarnation of Infinity Ward’s hit shooter Modern Warfare 2 is becoming a cause for increasingly concern on behalf of the players and creators. The serious breach of security in Sony’s long thought untouchable machine has seen games such as the Modern Warfare franchise fall pray to malicious hackers who as well as creating hacked lobbies have reportedly wiped players hard earned stats and even their game progress.
Modern Warfare’s creators, the now defunct Infinity Ward have discussed the issue with concerned gamers on the groups official forum, saying the current state of the games online feature is not the wrong doing of themselves, but rather Sony, with their failure to maintain the consoles security. Robert Bowling, the developers creative strategist was quoted on the forums as saying:
“Sony has recently acknowledged a breach in security on the PS3 which resulted in games to become exposed to exploits and hacks,”
“Modern Warfare 2 is no exception to this security exploit and we understand that some of you have experienced problems with stats and other issues associated with this.”
Tensions are running high amongst the frustrated gamers, many of whom are angered and confused as to why their unlockable items and statistics cannot be recovered after such security violations. Bowling however, claims that Infinity Ward are entirely helpless to prevent or reverse the current problem, and are advising that players stick to private lobbies and play only with friends until the matter can be properly assessed and resolved. They also claim that there are lessons to be learnt from these incidents, stating that they will no longer rely on the creative brains behind the systems to defend their intellectual property from hackers.
“Let me assure you, while we are very reliant on Sony updating their firmware and security to address the core problem of this issue, we are looking at every option available to us to help any user affected.
“This only applies to legacy games such as Call of Duty 4 and Modern Warfare 2. In the future we plan to adjust our approach to not rely solely on platform security and reduce the ability for this to happen in our games, as has already been displayed by the work Treyarch has done on Call of Duty: Black Ops to prevent similar measures.”
