maybe they are using cheap non-working nvg's to hunt hackers.

A HiFi5533d ago

Do I detect a hint of sarcasm or a whole lotta truth?

Arthur_5533d ago

Cause I theres a lot of that going on still.

A HiFi5533d ago

Can they detect that pretty much everywhere, it's gonna be hot?

Information Minister5533d ago (Edited 5533d ago )

This is nice to hear and all, but I spent the afternoon playing COD4 yesterday and people are hacking/cheating/glitching like there's no tomorrow. It's just crazy!

I want to see results! I still enjoy some "Modern Warfare" once in a while, but right now it looks more like the "Wild West".

DarkHawken5533d ago

Ive been sending the hackers a message just saying: "ban???"
They either leave the game which is good for the players in that game, or they send me a message back.
I then tell them how i will report them to infinity ward and that they ban ip addresses not accounts so they wont be able to make any more accounts.
Then they either stop it or leave.

Works for me!

RustInPeace5533d ago

What the hell is up with that video you have linked? It's funny as hell, but where did that come from?

uie4rhig5533d ago

Meh, if the game is popular people will find faults and take advantage of it.

A HiFi5533d ago

True, but the fact they are fixing it, instead of leaving it as they move onto Modern Warfare 2, is good.

Blaze9295533d ago

Yeah exactly. Infinity Ward could have EASILY abandoned the CoD4 audience in a way so that if you're tired of the hackers in CoD4, you would be forced to buy MW2. Instead of completely ignoring the issue they still show support for CoD4 which could make some possibly players continue to play CoD4 and not really need to get MW2.

table5533d ago

I'm just pleased the hackers didn't pick a good game to spoil ;)

A HiFi5533d ago

A bubble for that funny. =p

themyk5533d ago

where does all the modern warfare hate come from. is it just so you can seem cool. like when people hate on apple. like if something gets popular it's time to start hating on it?

i don't get it. i like cod4, i like killzone2, i'm gonna like modern warfare2, hell i liked w@w, it wasn't the best but it was playable.

i just think it's weak how everybody all the sudden hates on cod4, i think it makes you look like a tool.

Qazdaz5533d ago (Edited 5533d ago )

Alot of people I know went off it since playing killzone 2

themyk5533d ago

i havn't played it much sense killzone2 as well. but i wouldn't say it sucked.

i know killzone is better. but just cause a game comes out thats better doesn't mean it sucks.

i just think you guys are way too picky.

DiffusionE5533d ago

You're right, man. Can you imagine what would've happened if the hackers decided to pick on Hello Kitty Online Adventure instead of COD4? /end-of-sarcasm

".....embrace the over-priced Modern Warfare 2." NEVERRRRR!!!

table5533d ago

I had an hours session of CoD4 just there. I hadn't played it for a long time because I got bored with it a while back. Turns out theres a hacker in almost every game I enter. It actually puts MGO to shame for glitching now.

DiffusionE5533d ago

I encountered a serious hacker the other day. He couldn't die, no matter how much bullet, frag or knife he ate. That was the first time i've seen a god-mode hack used in an online game.

djreplay5533d ago

I've jotted a few names down, wonder if i should send them in or give them the benifit of the doubt? Nah i think i'll stitch them up :)

A HiFi5533d ago

They show you no mercy djreplay. Do it...do it now!

Max Power5533d ago

photo evidence not just a name, I think you can post it on the IW forums.

Toenado5533d ago

Personally I think anyone found cheating more than once should get a permanent PSN and Xbox Live ban.
Every cheater you come across in a forum complains how patches to fix a game and weekly bans are unfair, then they brag about how once their ban is over they go right back to cheating.

themyk5533d ago

what is a headhunter hacker.

what is headhunting. i don't get it.

A HiFi5533d ago

To look for. They are actively seeking out hackers.

cyberwaffles5533d ago

headhunting is military jargon meaning they're going for headshots, taking out the problem/opposition permanently. usually a sniper would do head hunting. i'm sure it can be used for other meanings like tracking someone down or whatever, but i know i've heard it before in the marines and such.

kind of like how cluster F*** is technically a military idiom, but it can be used outside of it's natural usage for things in general that end up going really bad. or like how resistance 2's 60 player online can be a real "cluster F***"

sorry got off topic.

themyk5533d ago

how are people cheating at the game on consoles?

like getting under the map? thats all i've seen.

UltimateIdiot9115533d ago

You're not too familiar with the dark side of console gaming are you? It's quite easy to hack in CoD4 especially since it's easy to mod the 360. It's also kind of easy to hack CoD4 on the PS3 since IW seems to hate patching and updating CoD4 properly *cough*rumbletrophy*cough.

Will be interesting to see what sort of numbers GP users draw in come tomorrow. It is believed that this is one many have been waiting for.

thesoftware73064d ago

Darth,

That is not accurate; this game is old, and most people who want it have already bought it. You might get a small number of subs, but we will mostly see a good influx of players(not new subs) from people with Game Pass who will try it, which is what happened with D4.

CoD: BO 6 will be the test for actual sub numbers.

darthv7264d ago

That's fair... seeing as many have been saying they want CoD in GP. My comment was more of , now that its here... what can it do. Im sure there will be other titles in the franchise that will either entice or turn off different users.

Bathyj64d ago

No one's buying a console and signing up for a monthly bill just to get this game to avoid buying it. That's ridiculous. Besides everyone bagged the crap out of this on release for the 4 hour campaign.

andy8564d ago

Sweet. Never got round to it on release. I'll give the campaign a go

chicken_in_the_corn63d ago

Severly underrated game. Big improvement over 2.

Why MW 2019 is still the best looking Call of Duty to date

MW 2019 is five years old at this point and on previous gen hardware, but it is still the best looking Call of Duty game to date.

MW was an excellent videogame. They messed up Spec Ops big time, but aside from this it was a huge step in the right direction initially. Most notably, at launch it seemed to come from a very cohesive creative vision that was felt across gameplay, to story to art style/visual direction. It was also very notably written by prominent ex-Naughty Dog guys that quit almost immediately before release.

That COMPLETELY dissolved through post-launch content and the full pivot to a "cross-mode" narrative that completely obliterated the cohesion in overall story direction. Warzone then "became" the new face of Call of Duty and the franchise completely removed itself from anything remotely creatively "good". It is a pure money machine, so I kinda get why they're doing it....but I personally completely lost interest.

I would love to see Infinity Ward move off CoD and get to make their own product with full control. They clearly have some massive talent in their ranks but it's perverted by Activision's corporate interests.
