Player Banned for 5000 Days from Modern Warfare 3

MP1st - When the team behind Modern Warfare 3 talked up the new banning system, they meant business.

[Majin-vegeta]

Lol must suck to be him i don't get the point in cheating if you have to cheat your pathetic and straight out suck at videogames.

[Mister_V]

It's over 5000!!!!!

[SSKILLZ]

Damn !!!! That's about 13 years and more

5000 divided by 365 days = 13.6986301

[da_2pacalypse]

It took the franchise 4 games before they finally began doing this.... Now lets see them do the same with the older games... Yeah, I doubt it -_-

[irepbtown]

Just saying...

[Gazondaily]

Lol a 13 year ban. That poor kid. He'll be 20 years old when the ban is lifted.

[dark-hollow]

Nah its ok!
There will be 15 new cod games before the ban lifts off!!!

[Coffin87]

OMG I lol'd.

[killcycle]

LOL Yeah exactly, he'll just have to wait what, 3 months? Till a new cod and he'll be good to go again.

[DeadManMcCarthy]

lol so true, and i bet the 15th cod game will still run on the same sh*tty engine.

[peowpeow]

^ best agree / disagree ratio I've ever seen on here :P Atleast we all agree on something lol

[Nevers]

ROFL...

Sad but true.

[Kran]

Think of it as a sign he needs to stop playing CoD.

[BlackBusterCritic]

Personally, I think they did him a favor. Now he can cheat in much better games.

[vyke3]

How is that a good thing? I would rather have cheaters like him stay in CoD :(

[brish]

The article didn't say he cheated.

EA for example bans people because they make comments in forums they don't like.

We really don't know why he was banned.

[damnyouretall]

one person on n4g had a great idea. instead of banning them have their guy wear a pink pokedot dress. refer to them and address them as "lil bitches" aw man we have a lil bitch on our team! or hey lil bitch! so on and so on....humiliation would be so much better for cheaters

[NoobJobz]

Having your character wear a dress would be punishment? I think you would have people cheating just so they would get caught so they could have the dress. As for people calling them names, couldn't they just mute them. Overall, that doesn't sound like much of a punishment.

[NoobJobz]

Having your character wear a dress would' be punishment? I think you would have people cheating just so they would get caught so they could have the dress. As for people calling them names, couldn't they just mute them. Overall, that doesn't sound like much of a punishment.

Edit: dang it. Double post. Please delete

[damnyouretall]

if you say so man

[jeeves86]

When people look at his gamertag, they should be able to see a label that says "CHEATER"

[hkgamer]

@tompeeper

you are correct, i would buy cod, finally get on xbox live and cheat just to get the dress. would be pretty hilarious.

actually maybe that would be a good idea to get more sales.

[princejb134]

lmao really 5000 days
this is a big fuck you from activision dont buy my game ever again

[Hanif-876]

Trust me to get banned from playing Call Of Duty is really the best thing that could happen to him. It gives him time to play other FPS which will enlighten him that COD is just pure rubbish.

[badz149]

he might just be waiting for the next CoD or go back to BO! afterall, it's still the 2nd most played game on XBL and maybe PSN!

[NeloAnjelo]

The good news is that in 365 days or less he'll be able to play the next COD.

[csreynolds]

Wow, 14 years? That's quite a punishment! What did he do, beat up Bowling's mother??

[TheBeast]

Haha golden, 14 years.

[fluffydelusions]

Probably the same age as the guy

[SilentNegotiator]

F***ing golden, you mean. Blago will be out of prison before this guy's ban lifts (because we all know he will get out on "good behavior").

[MGRogue2017]

A little drastic, no? A 1 or 2 month ban would have been more suitable.

[Criminal]

It depends on what he did, but 14 years sounds just about right. ;)

[Panthers]

Maybe by that time he will actually be old enough to play M rated games.

[dgonza40]

Cheating is cheating bro :p

[Getowned]

I don't think any one will be playing MW3 in 14 years lol..but no he cheated it's his own fault.

[torchic]

lol you guys have no remorse. if I were a criminal I'd hate to have you in the jury

[BlackTar187]

yea well people like you obv. run this country because our criminals run rampant of our system.

Jus saying lol

[csreynolds]

If it was a punishment for hacking, a permanent ban is deserved, but I'll be very surprised if people are still playing MW3 in 14 years time. By my reckoning, we'll be playing MW10: Soldiers is Space or something daft!

[Fatty]

Awesome. I'd love to see this implemented in every multiplayer game. Hope the person who got nailed with it is one of the numerous 12 year olds on there who wreck matches.

[FunAndGun]

This calls for a Nelson HaHa video.

[Nelson M]

Haah Haaah

[UnknwnSecret]

Bless you sir...

[Criminal]

Sadly, he'll probably get a new account and do the same stuff until he gets caught again. But, this should serve as a warning for others.

[olLANDSHARKlo]

Well if he is on the PS3, yes it's free to just go get another PSN ID. If he is on xbox live, he will have to pay to get a new gamertag, another reason why xbox live is better, and worth paying for.

[torchic]

lol really? really man?

[silvacrest]

you basically said, xbl is better because you pay...

[Fylus]

Yeah, seriously PHIB, just shut up.

[neonlight45]

dude you comment fails because you say PSN sucks because you don't have to pay and LIVE rocks because you have to pay.

[andibandit]

it's debatable what is better, but one of the few + sides of xbl is that a$$holes have to go through more hassle to come back.

[scotchmouth]

I think Phib's point is that if bans are going to be so severe and creating another account costs money then it will act as a deterrent for people creating multiple accounts.

Where as that deterrent doesn't exist on the PSN because there is no charge.

Think of it in terms of trolling a message board that has the basic sign up and one that costs $5 to sign up. The cost wouldn't be worth the LOLs

[OhMyGandhi]

where was this ban when Halo 2 came out?
Get rid of the rotten ones for a long time, then people can point and laugh and make an example of them.
I wonder if he was boosting or modding.
Never forget a friend of mine going into the (i think) theater mode or whatever on Black Ops, and seeing the top ranked players shooting stationary people over and over again through each of the first 20 matches.

seriously though, why cheat? what kind of bragging rights do you really have? how can you (in the case of Halo 2 for example) use standby to kick players out and win the match? is it really that fun? or is it just that anonymity with malicious intent the ultimate aphrodisiac for these players?

[laxbeav]

The reason is simple. They have no self esteem and instead of fixing themselves they decide it is easier to just cheat and be annoying. All they have in life is to convince themselves that they are good at something that really doesn't matter at all.

[Der_Kommandant]

Lucky Bastard

[guitarded77]

Scrolling through the comments and got to this... made me shoot Coke (soda) out my nose. Bubs++ for funny.

[jeeves86]

LOL @ "soda"

[Skizelli]

If only they'd ban the players with shitty attitudes, but that's likely 90% of the community. It's rare when I find a lobby that isn't contaminated with douche bags.

[MizTv]

good f him hate people like this

[SnakeCQC]

thats crazy if the devs dont pay attention to exploits then its them that should be punished cod has no extensive betas and then they are shocked when these problems occur

[QuodEratDemonstrandm]

13 years 35 weeks and 6 days, if you want that level of precision.

I wonder what the player did to warrant a 5000 day ban. I think that would be excessive for someone who exploited a glitch to level faster, or cussed out another player. He must have hacked the game or something.

[rattletop]

don't worry dude. you will get to play a 'NEW' CoD in less than 360 days. lol

[scrambles]

Cod mw4 SOAPS back and whats his face the evil dude isnt dead. O NO how did we miss this 1??? Im calling it right now! trey arch's next cod

[NeloAnjelo]

LOL. I said the same thing!

[LordLaguz]

Reminds me of the monster hunter tri bans, cant remember how much time was it through.

[FrigidDARKNESS]

Wow 5k days a lifetime ban. Well the user can creat a new account if he isn't IP banned.

[Criminal]

Even if his IP is banned, he can ask his ISP to give him a new IP. But, still this should be a warning for cheaters in general.

[HenryFord]

People... PS3's have an unique identifier, I am almost certain that the console is banned, not the player's PSN account.

[solidworm]

He should be banned for owning the game in the first place lol.

[torchic]

you guys with one bubble make the funniest comments I swear.

[3GenGames]

That's the price to get the truth out there....but it's DAMN worth it!

[thespaz]

Can't he get the PS3 version then?

Couldn't he pay for a new XBL account?

Couldn't he buy a new router to force it to give him a new IP? (I've done it... it works).

There's ways around it!

[HenryFord]

You obviously didn't try it...
1) He is already playing on PS3
2) Then you would pay twice...
3) IP? They won't ban your IP but your cd-key, so... new game it is for you.

[silvacrest]

all of that is to much effort for a very average game

[3GenGames]

VERY elow average (Center of the earth low) game that we've bout 5 times before and it was only great the first time.*

[Acquiescence]

He'll only have to wait 30 days or so.

[scrambles]

trying too hard

[Burning_Finger]

By the time he's unban he will be 27 and Call of duty modern warfare 17 is out by then.

[llMurcielagoll]

Lol 5000 days XD, the guy can just wait another year and play the new CoD, like he is gonna miss anything lol

[xtremexx]

hahaha lol, join the Battlefield 3 side O_O

[RioKing]

Yeah! And while he's at it, he should grab a sniper rifle and add to the number of campers in the game..

[HenryFord]

Obvious Troll is still obvious.

[mynameisEvil]

I'd like point out that snipers IRL camp for hours. That's their job. To snipe. You can't SNIPE if you're a bunny hopping moron trying to pull off 360 no-scopes in BF3 (and yes, there's been some).

Lesson of the day: Snipers + Camping = Doing their job. If they're discovered, they relocate. Simple as that.

[Relientk77]

He probably just went back to playing Black Ops then lol

[SnowBlu]

dozens of years

lucky guy its like making you invulnerable to shit

[Bebedora]

So, after 12+ years, he/she will OWN everyone playing it online.

I like the punishment. Not a ban. A punishment. lol.

[Fel08]

Now he is probably trolling on MW2 or Black OPS

[tigertron]

Well, he can either play an older COD, or just wait until next year's COD.

[TXIDarkAvenger]

Meh, who cares.

The next CoD games will obviously be out in less than 5000 days.

[capcock]

Lol don't like the game but this shit is funny as hell!
It will be 10+ new CoDs on the market when he can play mw3 again.

[Rahim92]

There will be a PS5 by that time with MW11 so do you think he will give an ants crap about MW3?

[Bellcross]

They probably did him a favor in disguise, maybe now he'll pursue a career in politics and become the next president of the United States./s

:P

[mynameisEvil]

Well, his qualifications are similar to our own current president.

No qualifications + Stupid people (Most people, really) = Terrible president.

[DivineSnow]

Just a thought people but can't one bypass this by simply creating another user?

[armorki]

I never cheated , They got rest my stats from 70 to 60 .

they sucks .

[NoobJobz]

???

[scotchmouth]

???

[frankiebeans]

points and says haha in Nelson voice (simpsons)

[ilovemyps3]

Did he get a special platinum trophy,at least? Or a 10000 achievement?

[TBONEJF]

Only 4,999 days to go by then COD MF3 will be not online when new generation of consoles is out. But still we should ban any bad behavior or cheating in the game.

[gypsygib]

60 bucks GONE!!!!

[king05]

Good riddance

[PSWarlord]

Damnnn Ill be playing MW1046 by the time this chumps allowed on again. Cant he/she just make a new account

[Zephol]

wait the Modern Warfare 6!!!

[flyinrhyno]

probably gamertag is banned from any future cod's that should put an end to cheaters, hopefully, or at least severly cut down on it.

[StarWolf]

who cares, its really just a 4 month ban since the next COD will be out by then

[Knightofelemia]

5000 days is pointless after the next COD game is released this person who was banned will be able to play the new COD online unless the ban continues to the next game.

[Dualshockers_Carlos]

By the time the ban gets lifted maybe the dude will be old enough to actually play M-rated games.

[taijutsu363]

Haha and wonder if he'll keep the game for 14 years and then check and see he's unbanned be like "yayyy Im unbanned!" Goes to lobby....ghost town!! ROTFLLMAO!

[mamotte]

Thanks god Robert Bowling didn't use the "OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAND!" meme to ban him.

[miDnIghtEr20C_SfF]

It's still cool to hate on COD? I'm seeing all the comments. This fad hasn't ended yet? COD scored better and sold way more than anything else ever. Wins shooter of the year on the Spike awards, and yet the BF fanboys still need to come into COD threads, and make jabs at COD.

Weird. Must hurt.

[Majin-vegeta]

Herp derp scored better sites were bribed even my cuzin who hardly plays videogames says mw3 looks just mw2.

[mynameisEvil]

What Vegatea said, Endoran. They were bribed by the biggest publisher there is. And it's not like it isn't possible. Remember the GameSpot incident with Kane and Lynch?

There's no way that a string of reviewers can give a game that's so repetitious, so ugly, so restricting, so unoriginal, and so buggy/hackable such great scores. Better games get worse scores because they weren't bribed. That's the joke of today's journalism. Bribery.

Speaking of bribery, I'm surprised 2K didn't do that with Duke Nukem Forever...

[Kahvipannu]

Well, anyone with anykind of common sense, knows which game really is better... It's personal preference yeah, but one still exceeds other one in every department.

That saying, see you all in the Battlefield, you don't wanna miss out^^

[blakstarz]

LMAO....

[NeoTribe]

Wow he wont be able to play until cod mw 78.

[jjb1981]

if i was that hard up to play again, ill just play on the other system with another gamertag or make up another gamertag on the same system. MW3 is not worth the trouble anyway. He probably talking shet on the black ops servers ranting on to his teammates who don't give a shet anyway.

[gamejackin]

The game is terrible any way. More goes in than this

[GrumpyVeteran]

So, ban him for 5k days when the next COD is under 365 days away?

loollolol

[artdafoo]

Lol, they did this guys a favor.

[NeloAnjelo]

He can play MW2, which is the same game anyway.

[ETSPACE]

ای بابا اینا هم دیگه دارند شورشو در میارند... یکمم مرام ندارند. LOL
But this doesn't work!
i'm waiting for mw4 :O

[amisa]

wow 5000 days.

[juanvan]

13 years = 13 Call of Duty games and prob a new game system in there.

[Kahvipannu]

So CoD players that get now banned, can play next time when they hit adulthood, hehe, I know, bad joke...^^

But 5000 days, thats good, cheaters deserve that.

[T3MPL3TON]

First off this doesn't stop him from just making a new account. Second, the next call of duty will be out in 6 months so why even pretend like this matters?

[Revvin]

Sadly this is not the norm, it should be though. If services like XBOX Live, PSN, Steam, Origian etc want to get serious about the integrity of their services and provide a good honest online gaming experience this kind of punishment should be the least cheats get. Ban their consoles, MAC address whatever because this chump who got 500 days will just buy a new XBL subscription and off he goes again. The publishers should work closely with the platform's they publish on and get consoles banned too to stop these vermin coming back. Why should I and many others spend our hard earned money buying these games only to see the online experience ruined by these people?

[EminemAt3AM]

All he has to do is watch the uncut versions of the Lord of the Rings movies back to back, and his ban should be over by then.

[jjb1981]

If you suck that much at MW3 you shouldn't be playing, let alone cheating. I'm not that great but I'm not gonna invest 3 hours corrupting files and saving them to my xbox in order to get my first headshot. What a maroon!
