PlayStation Network Users Will Not Be Banned For Using Javelin Glitch

E4G: If you want to cheat in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, then play it on the PlayStation 3.

[dkblackhawk50]

Something is definitely wrong...

[Government Cheese]

The glitch is going to be fixed within a few days, theres really no need to ban someone for simply acting like an ass, no matter how annoying it may be.

[Jinxstar]

I haven't been online today. Is it really that bad?

[RememberThe357]

If this is a glitch, IW is the one responsible for fixing it. As long as people aren't modding their PS3's or hacking games then there is no reason to ban people who are exploiting something the developers should have caught and should now fix.

Sorry but your logic is not at all sound...

[baum]

This is not a glitch, it's poor game balancing on part of MW2. Reviewers must have missed this "for some reason". That's all I will say.

[NecrumSlavery]

I'd use this glitch in a private match with friends, but never in a ranked match. It's way unfair. Although funny, YouTube it, it's über funny.

[Time_Is_On_My_Side]

I was thinking the same thing, even though using the word "exploit" can mean taking advantage of a glitch, but in this case it's a bug. It just makes you wonder why Microsoft would ban their paying users for using a bug to their advantage.

Another thing I'm wondering to is why these things never get picked up when the game is also on the XBOX 360, I have a feeling if it was only the PS3 version it would be all over reviews. Something similar happened with Gears of War 2, lol.

[Marceles]

lol @ the writer of this article...right, blame Sony for IW's problem.

[execution17]

it was a matter of time before some people ruin it again for the honest gamers, probably get to the point were there will be nukes the first few seconds of a match

[calis]

Can someone explain this Javelin glitch?

[badz149]

youtube is your friend.

[calis]

"youtube is your friend."

not at work it isn't :-S

[HolyOrangeCows]

IW hasn't patched it.

And probably won't.

[yesah]

or does it seem like the last few sentences were writen by someone else?

[Saaking]

Basically, you put the javelin, click the grenade button and hold it, switch back to your javelin and now you're a walking bomb. Whenever you're killed you blow up and kill anyone near to you.

[-Alpha]

if you are referring to me, I meant to say suspended, not banned as that is too extreme. Unfortunately I realized what I wrote after the edit expiration -_-

[TheBlackSmoke]

You do realize you have to die to javelin "glitch". Yes its cheap, yes its annoying, but so is using a grenade launcher with scavenger, so is commando's 20ft knife reach, so is marathon and akimbo shotgun spam, so is spawning in to a match and being destroyed by an AC130 which you have no control over.

I bet the majority of people complaining of the cheap javelin have been guilty of the many other cheap ways to get kills. When you play MW2 you need to accept its designed for the lowest common denominator, skill is not the only factor and you all know that so quit whining.

[BX81]

I hear what you're saying people will exploit because they suck! I really think if they do ban they should post a message in the game and give a date where after they will start the ban.

[In-cognito]

@ RememberThe357
Exactly right!

[calis]

"I really think if they do ban they should post a message in the game and give a date where after they will start the ban."

Anyone caught using this glitch should have a noticeable change to their character so other people know he is a cheat and no one will want to play with him.

Make his user tag pink or add something to his username so they are identifiable.

[vhero]

"If you want to cheat in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, then play it on the PlayStation 3. " Wow how fanboyish is THAT statement?? It will be fixed in the next couple of days. If it bothers you play something else for a couple of days.

[Guido]

No, it's not that bad. In a few hours of playing last night I ran into one idiot using it and once we knew who it was we just made sure we shot him from a distance. He can't use anything but a knfe so you can see them coming a mile away. Oh, and he typically is the one running around with the jav on his back.

[rockleex]

Seriously, MW2 is VERY unbalanced compared to COD4.

Not only that, MW2's maps suck. There's no strategical layout to the maps. Feels more like World at War's map designs.

[orange-skittle]

There's no release date for the patch yet. It just said it will be fixed in the next major update. Stop spouting rumors.

E4G is a looking for news in the obvious. Sony hasn't issued a statement on it. XBL rep said that cheating is a violation of TOS and if anyone is caught cheating, they will be suspended for 24 hrs on the first infraction. Sony doesn't monitor PSN in that way because it's a free service and you can do whatever you want. You can even have as many accounts as you want. If you want an account on XBL, you pay for it so they can take action against anyone that violates the TOS(includes racist comments, cursing, harassment, cheating, or modding).

[IdleLeeSiuLung]

It ruins the fun for people playing the game. Although it is IW problem and not Sony's, I wish they would do something about it since it affects the PSN gaming community.

It doesn't affect me, but none the less I would like to see PSN flourish as I own a PS3.

[TheBlackSmoke]

@Rockleex

THANK YOU! Mw2 makes COD4 look like an army training simulator. Dont get me wrong MW2 is fun at times but people need to admit to themselves its the most basic of basic and skill is only a small requirement to do well.

Have to agree on the maps, COD4 maps are superior in every way. Mw2 maps have no structure or sense of design, it feels like the maps were randomly generated as there's way to many exits and entrances meaning you can get killed from anywhere, out of place vantage points, and really obvious hotspots and safe zones. Maybe its just because this game feels like an expansion pack for cod4 that i cant be happy with the new maps, if IW were smart they would bring back cod4 maps cos the new ones are already tired.

[2cents]

If the devs dont do anything about it then the Host should. Oh well.
Most people wont care until they actually play with a cheater who ruins their stats. Then Im pretty sure they will change their tune.

[edgeofblade]

Wow, people are horribly ignorant here. First, it's not a "ban" ban. It's a 24 hour suspension. And after that if you do it again, it's a 2 week suspension. If this were an outright ban... I would still support it, but a suspension fits the crime much better. I wouldn't call this hacking or cheating as much as I would call it griefing, and that, my friends, requires a swift suspension of your nuts on my foot.

You can take your "the game I bought, I plays it the way I want" and shove it. I'll support Microsoft on principle for sticking it to griefers, and at least give Sony the benefit of the doubt, seeing as how this will be patched shortly anyway.

And this whole "if it's in the game, it isn't cheating"... oh really. Have you ever written a piece of software? When someone calls out one of your mistakes, do you try and spin that into a "Feature"?

[MetalGearRising]

No thanks i've heard all the hardcore crowd have moved over to xbox live to play Modern Warfare 2 it's the console of choice.

[dkblackhawk50]

Eh, just a opinion.

[Xeoset]

This is too funny.

How's that free service working out now? I'd much rather be actually able to play online for £2.68 a month because nobody likes cheaters... or the lack of an online option for the first few weeks.

[Xeoset]

You can't have a patch if there is no online to begin with.

OHSNAP!

[baum]

But there IS online. And it's free, so whoever's paying must be retarded.

OHSNAP!

[Xeoset]

I like having my online play on day one, plus the tonnes of other features.

You can tell you're a Sony fan, you copied me. Har har har.

[ultimolu]

Xeoset, get something called a life. Oh yes...and 360 fanboys never invade PS3 articles.

Why don't you play on your godly system you brag so much about?

[CernaML]

"or the lack of an online option for the first few weeks."

Hahaha. Oh I love 360 fanboys who try to sound smart. I rented MW2 for the PS3 after the 3rd day from launch and was able to go online without any problems so... just continue to pay that subscription fee while the servers overload and statistics are lost.

[TheBlackSmoke]

The game came out on a Tuesday, the server fix was on the Thursday and the invite fix was on Friday morning... but your a dumb ass bot who needs to justify paying for live so you just fabricated the ps3 version of MW2 hasn't been playable for "the first few weeks" when in fact it was playable the whole time since launch and the problems were fixed in two days.

360 Fanboys = delusional

[abc1233]

I doubt even the best politicians can make xbox live seem better than psn with this bit of news. I'm sure a lot of people will do it for fun at the start but it'll get boring so cheaters shouldnt ruin the game that much and it seems these days microsoft will ban their loyal gamers for so many things but very few psn users are banned, so based on this which company treats their gamers better?

Besides, it's the developer's fault for this glitch so why should sony go about banning players for the developer's fault? Seems pretty stupid what microsoft is doing.

[jack who]

faceplant

[dkblackhawk50]

Don't hurt yourself on the way there. /sarcasm

[TheHater]

Its not their faults that they glitch is in the game to begin with. I have no problems with users exploiting glitches in games because glitches are not suppose to be there to begin with. Unless its a cool glitch and the developers left in on purpose.
that said, i am curious to see what this glitch is. Youtube, here I come.

[dkblackhawk50]

You prove a very good point. It isn't the players fault that the glitch is there. It is Infinity Wards fault. You get a bubble :P.

[Edo411]

I see what you're getting at but that doesn't necessarily mean they should use it does it? If they use it in a private game or whatever then thats fine by me, but if you use it in a proper ranked game just to get some easy kills then thats a big no no in my opinion.

[dkblackhawk50]

Good point, that was also stated in the article. Using glitches online just ruins the fun.

[TheHater]

I wouldn't necessarily call that cheating. I consider anyone that uses a lag switch or an other external means to gain an advantage over other players cheating. If something is within the game itself, then I wouldn't necessarily consider that cheating.
Why should people get banned for something that was not fix when the game launch? Do they not have people to test these games before they are release? They could have easily had a private or public beta and many of these issues would have been reported during the beta phase.

[-Alpha]

Are you absolutely kidding me? If players intentionally EXPLOIT something that is not meant to be part of the game then they should be banned. It's considered cheating.

Sony doesn't communicate with the community as well as MS does and this is clear evidence of that. I can't believe people actually manage to spin glitching into being a GOOD thing.

[TheHater]

Then it shouldn't be in the game then. If something is in the game, then it is part of the game. It does not matter whether or not it was meant to be in the game or not.

Edit: @Alpha-Male22
I am not sure where you are getting that I expect games to be perfect (100% glitch free). I am just stating that Developers shouldn't go around banning people because they release a product with bugs and glitch that users can exploit.
Should the banned people that uses Lag switch and other third party device or software (aim bot) to gain a competitive advantage over other? without a question.

[-Alpha]

So you are expecting a game to be perfect? That's impossible. Games are bound to have issues, but that doesn't make it okay to exploit them.

Sony doesn't have to ban users, hell I'm not even expecting them to suspend them, but to act as if a game is intentionally made with glitches is logically incoherent.

[only on playstaychun]

I have used the glitch online, and if I was to be banned for just that 1-2 matches I would be outraged. Lets not forget who is to be blamed in the first place. Infinity Ward!! Still can't believe how a glitch like this exists (it is quite funny at first tho :P)

[BX81]

I agree with alpha male! That's like saying cocaine is ok to do as long as you find it and don't buy it! Same principle. It's a glitch which means it's not meant to be part of the actual online experience. Players should be banned for trying to exploit a glitch in a ranked match. If you suck you suck you shouldn't have to resort to cheap glitches. I don't think they should do a life time ban but there should definetly be some kind of stop to this. It should also be allowed in private matches.

[cmrbe]

If the glitch is there it is there. Its up to the players weather they will use it or not. Is there a law or term of use which stipulates that you are not suppose to exploit glitches?. This is where your cocaine example falls apart.

Its not Sony's role to be IW's QA.

[-Alpha]

I'm not expecting or wanting people to be banned, but a fair punishment would be a suspension. Now, I am not expecting for Sony to do anything. They have no obligation because PSN is free while MS at least has to show some dedication to its subscribers.

However, to say that something is in the game and is therefore irrelevant with how people use it goes against the way the game is meant to be played. This should be punishable. You can't excuse glitchers by saying that it's in the game and therefore they are free to use it.

[badz149]

M$ is so thinking about gamers and have their gamers at heart but the glitch is clearly IW and Activision's fault, and their 1st step is to suspend these gamers? why not demand a quick fix from IW so their gamers can play a fair game without any unfair glitch? ah yes...the deal with a single gamer is 50 bucks per year but a deal with AV worth millions!

[BX81]

@Cmrbe you're missing my point. Let's say this: going under the map is a definite glitch. You know the developers did not intend for the game to be played in an unfair manner. Just because you can do it doesn't mean you should. Thus the cocaine... You're saying it's ok because they didn't find this glitch doesn't mean they wanted you to use it. It's not ok to use in a ranked match period. Private is ok because everyone is agreeing that this glitch can be used. You (if you glitch) and people like you are the reason Gears 2 online was such a failure upon release. Cheating to get an edge is just that! There doesn't have to be a law it's an unspoken rule amongst gamers cheating is not tolerated. Lets all climb under maps and outside of them and snipe because we can!!!! Imo you're wrong buddy but that's just my opinion. Thanks for the response most people just respond like kids.

[cmrbe]

Never said it is good. I never cheat but i do understand that not everyone is alike and think like that. That is life.

If a dev by mistake put in a super gun that people know about. Do you honestly expect those who can't win a game to take the high road and not use it while other do?. And when they use it they get banned?. Thats just crazy.

[yesah]

banning people for glitching is like banning people for using a good camping spot.

If something is completely unfair, then IW will fix it.

[Eamon]

PSN did something right and XBL's Stepto is a right a55.
Why the f*ck should you get banned because Infinity Ward didn't fix their game?

[UnwanteDreamz]

Some of you here talking about logic have no idea what the word means. IHow is it Sonys resposibility to fix something they did not make? Once again people are mad and directing their anger at the wrong people. I suppose people playing this game spent money on it?

So you give your money to the makers of MW2 and when you find a problem within the game you expect the party not responsible to do something about it? Anyone who thinks this way does not live in reality. In the real world when you make a mistake it is you who are expected to correct it.

Then I see people trying to equate theis with doing cocaine? WTF really? So you are saying that it isn't right to use this glitch, well I agree. Stop drawing comparisons that do not exist. Sony being held responsible for a fix to this situation is like holding a crack pipe responsible for a crack head.

[edgeofblade]

@UnwanteDreamz:

At the same time, why are people complaining that Microsoft is taking steps to control an issue that isn't even their fault? I call that proactive support. This is their service, and this is what they do to earn the $50 a year the respectable players pay. With PSN, people would just go make a new account rather than suffer the consequences.

Seriously, when it comes to Microsoft, people can be the most ungrateful sods.

[aaronisbla]

i think its retarded that some people here are turning it into a " MS cares about their community and Sony doesn't give a damn" argument. This glitch is stupid, point all blame at IW and Activision if its not fixed.

Banning someone on live for using this exploit is waaaaaay too much of a punishment and so is a suspension. Its not a 3rd party program that aids you in combat, its a fvckin glitch that needs fixing.

What if you discovered this glitch on accident ( like im sure the founder did, by accident ) and some one just happened to record that very match and snitched on you? I bet you'd be singing a much different tune if they banned or even suspended you.

[Droid Smasha]

you dont pay sony enough to care hahahahaha

[kornbeaner]

And you idiots pay MS way to much and they still don't care. HAHAHA!

[Mr Tretton]

IW just need to fix it. Period.

I have yet to see this though and have no idea what it is. (maybe it's better I don't)

[Saaking]

Sony doesn't need to ban people to get more sales or subscriptions.

[BX81]

Ughhh, just stop trying sweetie!

[cyborg6971]

Why is everyone sweetie with you? Just pm them and ask for c0ck straight out.

[AliTheBrit19]

I LOL at everyone who agrees with Saaking

Because he loves Xbox Live does saaking, just check out his gamertag :)

Obsessed with Halo he is :D

Halo 3, ODST, Halo Wars, loves it all, also seen him on Fable II and Gears of War a fair bit

You actually agreeing with him like he's one of you (and not just mocking you) is just proving you're own stupidity LMAO

[Elven6]

This "piece" doesn't even have a statement from Sony, just more flamebait...

[TheColbertinator]

I agree with you Elven6.E4G just threw this article together in a few minutes.

[MajestieBeast]

A glitch is infinity wards fault and as much as you hate the guys using the glitch it aint cheating unlike the Ufo hack in cod4 or any other hack. This is why developers that want quality beta test to ensure there is a only a very small chance of this happening.

Seriously comparing cocaine to a glitch and i thought i heard it all.

[cmrbe]

is a cheat but i never complained about it when people use him against me.

My point is, A glitch is fair game to anyone to exploit it. Not recomended but its up to the players to use it or not.

[table]

Sony's new tactic of attracting xbox live gamers to psn :)

[TheColbertinator]

Stupid glitch in my opinion.That is why I play Domination,so suicide bombers get re-spawned all over the place and get shot before they approach the controlled areas.

[MGOelite]

do people not realise that this will probably be patched and have nothing to do with sony

[NotSoSilentBob]

Kind of like how it isn't sonys fault for the first days of MW2 and the lack of Servers that IW failed to have online? I mean this as people are trying to rag on sony for the glitch/lag/server troubles but IW are the ones that are responsible for their software/hardware.

[rajman]

Infinity Ward better patch this glitch quick...I just played a game of domination on PS3 and this guy 'Pr0Luk3Pr0' used the glitch the whole game...every time he went to take a zone he activated the glitch, so whoever went to kill him got killed themselves, he got me like 6 times...I even stayed at a distance and shot him but the javelin has big range and got me killed again =( Their team won and he was #1

[Nitrowolf2]

funny at bots
acti knows it and will patch it in first major update so what the point of banning them sony is smart for it,

[cmrbe]

This truly is modern warfare.

I can't believe 4.7 million people bought this junk on day one.

[ultimolu]

I can't believe I actually considered buying it. I'm glad I didn't.

Did the media completely overlook that glitch? Really? Heaven forbid a glitch like this was in a PS3 exclusive. It would get ten points deducted right away.

[aaronisbla]

FFS Ult, its not like they knew exactly how to do this glitch, think about that next time man. thats like saying " God of War 1 should have a lower score because of that infinite red orb glitch involving the harpy, WTF were the media thinking?"

You cant expect them to just know about it day one

[chrisulloa]

They're not getting banned stupid droids, 1 day suspension. Also, better to have no cheaters.

[Fossil16]

So what I'm hearing is.... IW made an IMPERFECT GAME and SONY is terrible because they're client base are using the product the way it was shipped and bought and not getting in trouble, while MS clients are being banned!!!!!!

WOW

[kornbeaner]

Exactly! the double standard, if it was the other way around we would be hearing how great live is over a free service because they "allow a game to be played the way its meant to be played" Whatever I don't even play MW2, POS game IMO

[cmrbe]

Modern Warfare Glitch 2. Should have been an exclusive on Glitch box 3.

[Man_of_the_year]

Oppose to Modern Patchfare 2 on the Patchstation 3?

Out of curiosity, what patch is this game currently on with the PS3? 1.03, 1.04?

[OSIRUSSS]

I've never played MW1 or 2 but how is this diffrent from loading 3 mines on a jeep in WARHAWK and plow right into 3 people on the other team. Thats not a glitch and you get 3 kills and one death. I hope someone will explain.

[kornbeaner]

Why should the ban hammer come out when a developer gets lazy and leaves a glitch in the game. By banning the users, this gives the dev's a free pass. If this was found in testing and not fixed because IW planned on expected bans to be handed out, how is that fair to the end user? When a glitch is found in your game, you should be required to work OT until it is fixed. Banning the end user is irresponsible by not only the developers of said game but also the company allowing that developer to release glitchy software in the first place. There is no more honor when it comes to videogames anymore, all that counts is win/loss ratio and when a developer leaves a glitch in a game that makes it that much more accessible to get a victory you are asking the end user to put aside their human instinct so that you can make a few million dollars.

[Captain Tuttle]

Ban 'em all!

[badz149]

there's no cheat codes or hack needed for this! the thing is simply a 'feature' in the game!

[CrippleH]

Let IW fix this BS. If they ever do that is.

[Dark_king]

I have no proplem with this type of glitch its only cheating if a glitch makes you unable to be killed,are gives a truly unfair advantage. Like hiding under the map where you cant be shot, but can shot them. Or a gun that never needs to be reloaded.

[PainisCupcake]

I don't see what the fuss is about, all this glitch seems to do is make you a glorified suicide bomber

[NotSoSilentBob]

So Sony doesn't see the need to artificially inflate their number of active accounts.

[AliTheBrit19]

At the end of the day, exploiting this glitch is ruining the online experience for everyone else, they should be punished those who do this.

Microsoft = Actually care, go out of their way to try stop it happening by issuing a 1 day suspension to people known to exploiting this glitch

Sony = Couldn't care less about you're online experience, never have, never will...OH WAIT! sorry, when those of you start paying for the premium PSN (that you said would never come) then they'll care...a Little :)

[TheTruth2009]

You are correct, my friend.

I've said it A MILLION times. The TRUE GAMERS play on XBOX Live.
Microsoft understands that and regulates accordingly.
You cheat, you lose. Simple as that.

Sony can't even get out of their own way.

How do you call a console with:
NO HEADSET INCLUDED.
LONG LOAD TIMES.
BAD MULTIPLATS.
DISAPPOINTING EXCLUSIVES.
A CONTROLLER CORD THAT IS SIX INCHES LONG.
PS3 MUST BE POWERED UP TO CHARGE CONTROLLER.
AN ERGONOMICALLY OUTDATED CONTROLLER.

How can THIS console be the "Home of the True Gamer"?

Hilarious.

Real gamers know where to go. XBOX Live.

PSN? NO. ONE. CARES. And never will. Deal with it.

And go and buy an exclusive that NO ONE CARES about. :-)

[cmrbe]

you guys need to get a room.

[TheBlackSmoke]

"NO HEADSET INCLUDED"........ The less 12 year old's screaming the better, people who really want to benefit from teamwork will buy headsets. Considering the only games bots play is Halo and COD you don't even need headsets anyway.

"LONG LOAD TIMES".........Uncharted 2 says hi

"DISAPPOINTING EXCLUSIVES"...... Highest rated exclusives this gen.

"A CONTROLLER CORD THAT IS SIX INCHES LONG"...... Your old lady didn't complain.

"PS3 MUST BE POWERED UP TO CHARGE CONTROLLER".....its USB so you can plug it in to your PC or laptop. A non issue. desperate much?

"AN ERGONOMICALLY OUTDATED CONTROLLER"..... Totally preferential has no basis in fact. Ergonomically outdated...did human hands evolve since 1994 or am i missing something?

[abc1233]

yup, microsoft sure do care. heck, they care so much that they banned over a million of their gamers. Damn, I wish sony would also care /s

[cmrbe]

Should have use the money offered to them to hire competent Game testers. 200 million game lol!.

[Unicron]

This is IW's and Activision's responsibility to fix ASAP. Period.

[Knightofelemia]

By the time a patch does come out to fix this glitch spmepne will find a new glitch for the game i gotta try this one out

[Jihaad_cpt]

How is it cheating? Sounds "realistic" if you wanted you could easily do this in real life, if you kill me I'm taking you all out with me. People should be used to terrorists, they have been doing this for years, if you have guts to off yourself to kill your enemy great I guess?

[JoelT]

There won't be anything done to the PS3 cheaters/glitchers, well according to who? This piece was written without a basis for argument and the author is using his gut feeling and it's being stated as fact.

@ Fellow readers, why even argue amongst eachother whether its a banning or a suspension? You're wasting your breath, as this story carries no weight. If Robert "fourzerotwo" Bowling hasn't addressed the issue publicly then there's no reason for an outcry.

[TheTruth2O09]

Ha! See, the PS3 users have no gmaes to play. They always divert what the topic is about into hardware sales.

That is why they never buy games. You see by using month old sales data, copied and pasted onto most of my comments, I can make myself apear smart.

But, NO.ONE.CARES... That is why Eyepet has only sold 100,000 units, even though its only released in Europe and Australia, is barely out and is merlely somethiung which is meant to compliment the Playstation Eye. See I look smart now. HA!

[djreplay]

No one mentioned hardware sales so i'd take the goggles off if you have trouble reading with them on.

[thehitman]

Ok what I really want know is how som1 is 867542774632552-0 kills lol(random large number but I probably not far from the actual

[bjornbear]

they should be suspended, and/or at least have their points reset as a penalty.

still if there's a patch coming, I guess some can turn the cheek (like me, because i haven't gone through this xD)

[jumped out]

I call the anti-camper glitch.Some camper getting cheap kills waiting for you in that house arm your bomb and run in,if he kills you again he blows up along with the rest of his camping buddies.

[artsaber]

KZ2 Online looks like a dream compared to MW2 Glitch Warfare. Too many cheezy kills, the Javelin is just the most humorous way to exploit cheeze. How about doing something about spawn camping by giving spawned players a 4 second invulnerability. It would be detrimental to spawn camp then.

[iceman2885]

I do find it really annoying playing a clan who spreads out on a map and knows the spawn points so they can kill me from behind right as I respawn. Especially in hardcore team deathmatch, where I have to wait like 15 seconds before I respawn again.

[iceman2885]

They can just open another PSN account and be back on their merry way (although I guess they wouldn't retain their level).

[SpinalRemains138]

To justify paying 50 bucks a year, they're banning ppl for using a glitch that IW didn't remove? IW drops the ball and the customer pays twice? Hows that work?
I'd rather have an equal online experience minus the banning and the annual fee. Oh yeah, and the superiority of blu-ray too. Oh yeah and the console with USB ports and blu tooth capability. Oh yeah and the more comfortable controller with better analog and D pad w/ motion sense option and dualshock.

[donscrillinger]

thats why i don't play on psn network cuz its free and they don't care that the players are cheating to win at the game ..ill stick with xbox live ,,lol sonys online is trash ,, it reminds me of the dreamcast online service back in the day a bunch of hackers and cheating azz cats that cant really play ..fasho

[abc1233]

ffs, why should sony be blamed for the fault of IW? who care more about making money than the quality of the game. But true, abox live offers so much more than free psn, i mean, cross game chat and microsoft's ban sprees are surely worth the $50, no?

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

I don't own the game, but apparently this is a huge glitch. I got to play the game for the first time last night on my buds PS3 as I took over Uncharted 2. I thought MW2 actually looked pretty sweet, but Im on the Activision hate train... when I showed my buddy Uncharted 2, he wouldn't put it down. Thought it was a much better game in everyway. But 1 round where I played in the village map, a guy was getting kills from inside a wall on the maps!

Cheating defaces you as a gamer, much like roids do athletes... etc.!

[CurlUpAndDie]

there are more players playing on xbox LIVE than PSN. Bigger crowd baby.

[Shendow]

Anything to talk bad about Sony, anyways IW is most likely going to fix it and I don't have to worry about it at all. I sold my copy got 24 bucks out of it and took my girl out to IHOP (Eggnog Pancakes) don't ask.

Big deal. I'm sure a patch will be able to fix it soon.

Guys, don't listen to any 360 or PS3 fanboys.

PSN hasn't had any issues when it comes to cheating at all. I've been playing online since launch and have yet to come across a game where guys are cheating. Can anyone point out a PSN userbase that cheats? Any game? Other than the lame leaderboard hacks which every system has anyway. As far as I know, it's the 360 which has black market hacked concoles and major cheating happening which is why these bans have to take place. As far as SONY goes not doing anything........ Give them a reason to do something. No one on PSN is cheating.
