I got this game used yesterday (my favorite game of all time, dont game on my pc anymore so got it on xbox) and the multiplayer is BROKEN! Every lobby I've been in has been hacked (infinite ammo, people under the map, ontop of the map, wallhacks, aimbots), and there is this annoying announcment in the top left of the screen that spams that area of the screen telling you to go to some website.

Are all the lobbys like this?

The MP is nothing but glitchers and hackers. I gave my copy away about 6 months ago.

Why do you think people are complaining about it and are looking for a better fate in the new BF? You have just looked at the evidence yourself. Bad and sad way to go for COD though ... I still have faith in MW3 nevertheless ...

Yeah, that blows. I mean it was kinda fun spraying with an infite ammo lmg and getting 100+ kills in ground war but still..
atleast the campaign can't get hacked XD

Then they should probably just shut it down.

Funny, I went back playing it after a couple months and there was a large update to download. Someone must have been working on it

Yup pretty much bro. I'm in the same boat as you. I originally had the PS3 version, sold it, re brought it on PC (PC was the best) years later got it on Wii, sold it, rebrought it on 360 and thesedays on both the PS3 and Xbox alot of the lobbies are hacked. It's extremely saddening :cry:

I really don't get it, I have NEVER had a problem with hackers.

I only encountered 2 guys using the javalin glithc in MW2 and that's it, and I have been playing online on my 360 since 2005.

I don't know if these problems are affecting americans only or what, but here in europe never had a problem.

If you think MW is bad, try WaW... that game has some of the most insane hacking I've ever seen.

Sad thing is, MW2 is ALREADY getting to the point where hacking/shenanigans is/are super evident. 6/10 games I play, there are at least one of the following things happening:

Super speed

Infinite Ammo, albeit this is rare now.

Increased health, like jugg x3.

Obvious Aim Mods

And then of course, there is ALWAYS someone abusing the Noobtube/OneManArmy combo. In fact, in most games I play, there are 2+ people doing it per team... That game is really 0 fun these days, unless I'm playing private matches with friends or playing in QS lobbies.

There was a short period where like every game had the infinite ammo glitch active. The javelin glitch was huge for a while too, and the emergency airdrop was a big issue for much too long. And now there's a whole load of crap going on.

I was playing MW last year while in Europe and came across no issues for like... a month or so of playing like 5 hours a day. So you may be right.

I think IW faught and lost battle with hackers in MW2 and COD4, it has gotten to the stage where if they banned every hacker, they would be banning 90% of their players, which is too much of a payload for a company under the whip of activision

World at War is the same way, which is a shame because its my favorite CoD. You'd think Activision would do something about it but its not Blops or MW2 so its irrelevant :(.

I think there's also a limit on how much they can patch and what not. Like with MW2, they didn't have the technology to release patches that altered core things like perks and what not, which is why the whole One Many Army + Noobtube combo was never addressed (among other things fans complained about). It's probably more that Activision is really only concerned with the latest CoD at this point, but they may also have some constraints in terms of what they can fix up.

Black Ops doesn't suffer from any issues at all really... so he could just play that... It's not like going back to Halo 1 or 2 is even possible and most would probably prefer to play Reach over 3 anyway...

I played several matches a few months ago and I didn't get into a single bad game. I guess I got lucky?

I meant issues with hacking and glitches being abused and what not. Hit detection and the host choices in that game do need to be fixed though.

^^ And terrible graphics and expensive map packs and a copy and pasted engine from MW2, WaW and CoD4.

Wow, CoD4 is like it too? apparantly WaW is (I have been completing the campaign on it recently to get all of the achievements that I didn't get), and I wanted to play online... but after hearing how bad it had gotten on there from LOADS of people, I just didn't bother. So now MW1 has the same problem? they may as well have shut down the servers or something... because there's no way I am playing online on MW1 and WaW if the games are like this :(. If MW2 becomes like it as well... then it seems you will only be able to play the latest release every year (and CoD Classic, 2 and 3 and whatnot) but I would also like to play the other ones too... ah well :(.

None of those is a real issue. Graphics are not important and who needs map packs? Nah, the issue with BO is the monumental lag and drunk hit detection. Fix those and it's a fine game. Unlikely to happen at this point, though

If MW2 becomes like it as well... then it seems you will only be able to play the latest release every year (and CoD Classic, 2 and 3 and whatnot) but I would also like to play the other ones too... ah well :(.Ashley_wwe

Worse come to worse, there's always private matches with friends, hacker's can't hack those! :)

The only reason I think they should shut down the COD4 MP is because I think it was their best game and their best MP overall and a revolutionary experience in gaming at the time. With the way it is now, no reason to let it tarnish. Let it rest in peace, Activision.

I just meant the Halo franchise in general. Halo will always be better than COD Map Pack...or Call of Duty MW 3 or whatever you want to call it.

Be careful, while I love Reach and Halo 3 was the one that got me into Halo, you can't really say that Halo won't get the COD syndrome (Can I treat it like a sickness?), it's unlikely but not impossible.
