Modern Warfare 3 cheaters: how Infinity Ward will stop them

OXM UK: "Infinity Ward has taken steps to ensure that Modern Warfare 3 will be a cheat, exploit and hack-free zone."

BeaArthur4554d ago

They won't, developers have tried to prevent cheating for years and I seriously doubt Infinity Ward (with some of the most hacked games available) will be the ones to figure it out.

gamingdroid4554d ago

It's actually one of the better ones, considering the number of gamers and how high profile hacking target it is.

BeaArthur4554d ago

I don't play CoD anymore but when I did I noticed far more hacking/cheating than in any other game I have ever played. Volume doesn't matter, it's how well your game performs and CoD as a franchise is pretty poor.

Kenshin_BATT0USAI4554d ago

Volume matters a lot. The more popular something is the more interest there is. Take the Iphone for example. If that wasn't popular no one would have bothered jailbreaking it.

BeaArthur4554d ago

@vashlion...what I'm saying is that the excuse of volume is irrelevant because if the game is hacked it's hacked. I'm not going to cut them slack because they have more players. A billion dollars should allow you to hire on more employees to take care of your product. When I used to play I would run into hackers/glitchers far more frequently in CoD titles than Halo, Battlefield, Killzone, etc.

gamingdroid4554d ago (Edited 4554d ago )

First of all, my experience hasn't been all that bad i.e. the number of "hacking" I encountered was very minimal.

Secondly, of course it matters. A program more vastly used is far more likely to have more defects found and subsequently exploited. That is common sense.

***A billion dollars should allow you to hire on more employees to take care of your product.***

Are you saying if a product has less users it is allowed to have more glitches?

Anyhow, I suggest you read the "The Mythical Man-Month: Essays on Software Engineering" before making large ground sweeping statements that adding more people would solve the problem especially of this nature.

Black Ops used the same type of method and it worked fine. I never see anyone hacking in BO and it didn't have all the exploits that MW2 had.
With Black Ops they do quick hotfixes without having to released a patch, this is the same thing MW3 will be doing. They can apply hotfixes towards weapons, maps, stats, anything that needs to fixed or being exploited.

People will always try exploit it and use mods/hacks but its an easy fix now. MW2 and WaW are bad because they can't do hotfixes like that. WaW is really bad, you can't even play it without seeing someone hacking.

Furesis4553d ago

i did not run into hackers eaven once in black ops

Chnswdchldrn4554d ago

You can never stop cheaters, they always find a way

1nsaint4554d ago

Really? The SCAR overpowered?

Dovahkiin4554d ago

It's underpowered if anything, the UMP however...

ProGrasTiNation4554d ago

Im sorry but he blames the xbox been hacked after the game released lol,you dont need a hacked machine to cheat in MW2.
Also 402 came out & said the same thing when the ps3 was hacked,he wouldn't comment on it when it wasn't hacked because he would have to admit it was possible before any hacks & all you needed was a pc.
& quick scoping is a huge glitch,if auto aim wasn't in the game then it would make it a real skill & all the kids who like their games easy wouldn't be playing it in the numbers they are.Just stick your sensitivity on high & spin around & you'll see your crosshair slow to a crawl when you pass over an enemy lol pure bull.

shaun mcwayne4554d ago

if you have to use cheats, hacks, glitches to win, the game must be to hard for you. i think is quite sad really.

Call of Duty Players Disappointed by $80 B.E.A.S.T. Glove Bundle Deal

Recently, players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone were met with a new bundle featuring the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, inspired by King Kong's armament in the Godzilla x Kong movie. However, the $80 price tag attached to this themed accessory left many Call of Duty fans feeling underwhelmed.

Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash

Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.

Gridknac12d ago

They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.

X-2310d ago

I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.

Cheech And Chong Are Coming To Call Of Duty Because Everything Must Be Consumed

The famous comedy duo is the latest example of pop culture becoming one big grey blob

Christopher26d ago

Certain to have some sort of reference to their online store for CBD/THC chews, which is advertising heavily online the last month or two.

Sciurus_vulgaris26d ago

The randomness of the multiplayer characters is one of reason I quit playing COD after briefly returning in 2022. We got Space Marines, rappers, tree monsters etc. all in a series called “ Modern Warfare”.

OtterX26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

I think if there was ever a time for a competitor to rise up and take away some of Call of Duty's thunder, the time would be now. A military shooter that takes itself seriously, not sold out to Fortnitism. Easier said than done, I know... but the time is ripe.

I can't stand this stuff either.

Palitera25d ago

There are tons of MP shooters that make no profit, if you're looking for one of those

fsfsxii25d ago

You guys have been saying this shit since 2009. Fortunately, nobody’s bringing down cod anytime soon, if ever.

crazyCoconuts25d ago

I agree. I really didn't like how the silliness takes away the gritty origins. That and all the crazy effects... dunno. I'm still playing it but I'd love for someone to steal their cheese and cater to grittier players

OtterX25d ago

@fsfsxii It's not so much wanting COD itself to die as it is wanting this silliness to die. Like CrazyCoconuts said, it takes from the grittiness. Many OG COD players want a straightup Military shooter experience, not silly costume time at Carnival.

is this what the kids want these days a pair of iconic stoners who were big in the 70s and have kind of held on I enjoyed their movies decades ago but I never recall the movie where cheech infiltrates a enemy base while chong snipes for support guess I must of missed that one

Man I'm getting to old for this

Knightofelemia26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Profchaos25d ago

Why just why. cod up in smoke

anast25d ago

They charge too much for a game that is kitsch.

MW3 missed its easiest opportunity to give us some of the best Call of Duty maps ever made

From Bootleg to Black Box, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 made a heartbreaking mistake by not remastering the bizarrely forgotten maps from its namesake.
