Hackers have started on PSN and it's not looking good

dude this has nothing to do with PS3 or PSN being hacked, its the game itself i mean Call of Duty, CoD4 and MW2 been both hacked for so long now, their hacked on all consoles as well

COD4? Dude, that games been hacked like that for years now. Once MW2 came out they left that one to rot. COD games are always getting hacked to bits without the assistance of George Hotz. This new security breach has nothing to do with it. Play a new game. MrSelf-Destruct

lol, they are all hacked except COD BO until a new one comes out they will give up on BO and it will be hacked

This is getting worse and worse. I tried playing some domination on mw2. more than half the games I joined were completely hacked. From aimbots, speed hacks, unlimited killstreaks, random nukes, people flying all over, and lately I've noticed they have been changing the words in the game(like team names to very innapropriate names). It sux.

While there's no doubt the PS3 versions have had their fair share of exploits in the past, I'm going to have to agree with you here.

Destructoid seems to agree with you also ;)

You should come and see me laughing at the Hacks in World at War,where people had thier names in Rainbow Colours and they could fly like superman alova the stage shooting everyone with a colt 1911

What MrSelf-Destruct said word for word.Not new and it won't be the last time it happens.

ITT: Sonyboys in denial.zxcqweasd1

Hahaha are you for real? I played COD4 in its prime and there were already all kinds of hacks. Seeing as there have been 3 CODs released since 4, I'm pretty sure it's safe to say 4 has been put on the backburner. There have been hacks in that game for years now and there aren't going to be any updates for it. That'd be like DICE going back and updating the online for the original Bad Company while they've got BC2 and MoH to focus on...

How did COD MW2 get hacked before jail break when PSN has essentially been unhackable since it existed?

CoD4 and MW2 have been hacked for years, bro.

You're just really late to the party.

I personally hope that some homebrew user makes a program to brick the systems of those who use homebrew. Now THAT would be a hacker usingthat softwarefor good.

I won't debate whatever the TC is experiencing in CoD, but with the explosion of people complaining about hackers, it makes me wonder if Activision is riding this as an excuse to not bother supporting their own games and just keep pumping out new CoD's. That and how many people are actually losing to hackers but find it easier to blame their poor gaming skills on an outside factor?

I'm not saying Activision is responsible for the influx of hackers. What I'm saying is whether they'll use it as an excuse to not bother with monitoring their games at all, regardless if it was caused by this hack or not.

Homebrew is a just a symptom of the real problem, a side effect of allowing hackers to hide behind the law and make tools for others to abuse. Even if Sony fixed every single thing with the omega of all patches...it doesn't mean it wouldn't eventually get hacked as well.

In the end, Sony has the resources and modivation to fix their problem. How they go about it is up to them and thanks to these "freedom hackers", legit consumers will be the ones to bite the bullet.

[QUOTE="zxcqweasd1"][QUOTE="MrSelf-Destruct"] Despite whether this is a new hack or not still doesn't change the fact that the game has been hacked for years. You may or may not encounter one of these hacks based on the lobby you sign into. You may have just finally happened upon the motherload. In any case, the game is hacked to the point that it is unplayable. If you want to play a decent game get a new one that is still properly taken care of. Ninja_Zombie83

The hacks in Call of Duty games have been going on for a LOOOOONNNNNG time. Maybe it's more prevalent now because of the "news". It might just be a higher ratio of hackers vs. the population and not have anything to do with the recent cracking of the hardware. I'm sure if there is no way to fix the vulnerability it will only get worse, and effect more games that didn't previously have any problems with cheaters. However with COD the problem already existed BEFORE the PS3 vulnerability was exposed, whether you ran into it or not was just a matter of chance, and of how many people were exploiting it.

I can't believe TC is serious.

No, really. I can't believe it.

Out of all games, CoD4 and MW2?

I hope Sony just gets on and just starts banning consoles that go online.

Then it'll be fine for the most part.

This is one good reason PC gamers were in an uproar over dedicated servers. If you join a server which an admin is playing on, they'll just ban the cheater. But then again you also have VAC on PC too.

What happens to people cheating on the PS3? I'm guessing there's no cheat detection software involved. Do people just need to report players for cheating and hope Sony hunt them down?

While it's true that dedicated servers can pretty much eliminate the problem, it isn't necessarily just because of the fact that it's on console vs PC. I mean there ARE console games where you can at least choose your game in a browser. I.e. Killzone 2. Those might not be 'dedicated servers' in the same sense as on PC, but at least with a system like that you can pretty much find a game and perhaps play in that same server day after day. If you find a game full of cheaters, than you can pretty much just avoid that server going forward. There are console games that at least have a dedicated server and are not peer to peer.

The problem here with COD is that it's both "matchmaking only" (totally random games) and you are at the behest of a peer to peer connection. Not even knowing much about hacking or netcode, I'm going to just logically assume that a "peer to peer" connection is going to be less secure from hacking than a game that runs on dedicated servers that are actively maintained by SOMEBODY.

What should he think? I'll be honest, yes there have been some hackers, but never to this extent, in either MW2 or COD4. Heck, I came across a guy in Bad Company 2 the other day who was shooting an RPG like it was a machine gun. To say that these hacks are not in any way related to the "big hack" of late is just completely ignorant.

My brother was playing MW2 last night and I warned him that hackers have taken over and he was like smh, whatever. There was a guy on there who was 55-0 and my brother killed him and he didn't get a death streak. He couldn't believe it. Plus, you can tell that it was a hacker, especially when it popped up admin with all the perks and weapons on the screen.

The sad thing is that COD was hacked long before the PS3 was jailbroken/hacked. Sony probably might win this case with the right facts because most ppl think that Sony stripped the "Other OS" feature when they really didn't. They gave everyone an option to keep it, but by doing so, you will lose current access to PSN and couldn't play games that are 3.21 or higher.

I just hope Sony nails the hell out of Geohot for doing this in the first place. He says he doesn't support piracy, but at the end, it still leads to piracy.

Luckily I don't really play online, but this does suck, hopefully Sony figures out a way to fix this or at least prevent it (if BO is more hacker preventive than other games can follow the example like this), though I'm doubtful we'll ever receive a final solution.

yes this really does suck. big time. Sony hasnt even come up wit a real solution yet have they?

Nope they don't, and who knows if they ever will. I'm done purchasing games for the PS3 until I know Sony can take care of this problem.

I have played Resistance 2 and Uncharted online and have no problems. I doubt it's the hacker thing. I guess so now everytime there is an online problem, people are going to say "there goes those hackers again."
