Cheaters Hacking COD 4 Modern Warfare PS3
Hackers are taking over the PlayStation 3 version of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
A thread over on the Infinity Ward forums reveals that troubles are brewing on the multiplayer front of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare for the PlayStation 3, as hackers are taking advantage of exploits that enables them to walk through buildings and fly. Additionally, hackers have also figured out how to receive unlimited ammunition, no reloads, activate God Mode and mount laser sights.
To make matters worse, the cheaters have shown, in detail, how the hacks are carried out via videos uploaded to YouTube. According to the forum post, the problem has become so widespread that the Infinity Ward forum moderators gathered and sent various emails to the developer, requesting immediate action.
"The videos though do indeed show the destructive capability of the mod/modders and I believe the situation to hold true," reads the submitted email. "The most affected game modes seem to be Search and Destroy but were reported to be in all gametypes. Hopefully something can be done to address this issue."
Infinity Ward responded, thanking all the COD4 PS3 users for their feedback. "We hear you loud and clear, and are investigating the glitchers," the Twitter post reads. The problems may be addressed via a game update, however the developer did not indicate when--or if--that would take place.

I like butter.
Stop the presses!
Cheating? Hacking? Call of Duty?
This has plagued the CoD series since its release.
The original game was overflowing with hackers once I had started playing it online, essentially ruining the game (that and the predictable single player missions). My fault I guess for spending too much time in Medal Of Honor.
Aha! So much for the PS3 vs PC argument of PC = hack-ability.
This is a sad thing though. Cheaters are a sad sad thing. Gamers thinking they get some kind of 'hot' image when they're 'pwning' by cheating. Or even the ones who do it openly for... fun? Another reason being the fact that sometimes I get kicked out of servers for 'cheating' on CS:S. Apparently you aren't able to shoot the admin too many times in a row in the head, or ELSE!

No, no! This is entirely different! This is glitching, not hacking!
/sarcasm
I have no problem of them hacking to give themselves god mode but don't do it in a live game where it's also being played by other players. Totally ruins the game.
Since it's a glitch or exploit it'll be patched soon.
Also, since it's widely known exploit I wonder will they do a rollback of your scores after the patch is in place?
Why do people cheat on video games? What do they have to gain? Games are for fun only, and it ruins the fun for everyone else, and even themselves. Its a lil fun to play games on god mode for a while, but it quickly gets boring. Seriously do something better with your life.
Must be a slow day
This just in, fire is hot

Tell that to the StarCraft community where most glitches are allowed and hack are never allowed.
it's funny how many people whine about cheaters but don't realize there are top notch games with servers out there that don't tolerate cheating via PERMANENT BAN. Blizzard had the right idea with D2, give the cheaters their own servers, and leave the quality servers for people who want to play the game the right way (although there were a few cheats that sneaked through the reg server). Cheat on most valve servers protected VAC and you will soon no longer be able to play said game online without creating your own server.
this has being going on every system in every COD since release day
Sigh....15 years late on that one don't you think guys? Hacking online fps's has been around since doom online over 15 years ago. Expect it to get worse in consols as they begin to mimick online play on a PC. I'm actually glad to see it. Maybe it will get enough press and they will do something about hacking online PC shooters such as cs source and the likes. Doubtful but I can hope.

Way to true, admins put their ego in bf2 just as badly as cs:s in my experience, very sad actually, when will humanity as a whole start evolving psychologically instead of just physically and technologically.
But staying on topic, I agree with surrept420, I'm glad to see it on consoles to, and hopefully your right, and they will do something about it, oh and, a mod for cod world at war to spot out campers like in cs:s would be nice.....how about a big glowing transparent tent -.-
There will always be people cheating in anything competitive. This will never go away and always remain a problem.
Remember that most people who cheat in video games however are just trying to upset you. Don't let it happen just leave the game if you have to. Don't even talk to the cheater simply disconnect. Find another game to connect to and enjoy yourself.
As for this specific case I do hope that they can find out everyone who is doing this and are able to work with Sony to get their console banned from PSN. Having to buy a new PS3 would teach them real quick that griefing games isn't worth it.
The last games I used any cheat on was Duke 3D back in 1996, and Quake a bit later. Don't like it much, defeats the whole purpose.
That is hacking lol.. The fly/unlimited ammo.. It's hacking lmao.. And you can hack the ps3/xbox 360.. UM duh.. Old news just google search it lol. Ya, they cost money, but so do pc hacks.
There was a feature in a Quake 3 mod, where if you stayed in one place for x seconds (camper) you died. It's a great way to discourage camping.

360 is worse since there able to run home brew stuff on it so they could hack any cheats into any games they want. too bad it would only last them a a day or 2 till they get banned from xbox live.
Once again, Tom and his boys (and some girls maybe) are POSTING OLD, USELESS NEWS, that's been on since like 2007.
"There was a feature in a Quake 3 mod, where if you stayed in one place for x seconds (camper) you died. It's a great way to discourage camping."
It seems some of you are lumping camping in with cheating, which simply isn't right. I personally find camping to be boring, but in some games it's your role to be a sniper, which lends itself to camping. If you don't like campers, go hunt them down. Don't call them cheaters. From what I've seen campers get far fewer kills than everyone else anyway in a group of experienced players.
Quote "There was a feature in a Quake 3 mod, where if you stayed in one place for x seconds (camper) you died. It's a great way to discourage camping" I am against hacking but there is nothing wrong with camping. Camping is not hacking. In real life what do you thing snipers do? I am a run and gunner for most part. I dont mind campers.
Campers are not cheaters, they just have a handicap with their aim while moving, it is a very serious disorder and not to be laughed at. I admit, I have this issue and over the years it has gotten worse because now I unintentionally TK. That is why I stopped playing online games with strangers, with friends it's ok because it is intentional.
This just in.....players are teabagging in Halo
HACKING... that remind me that time i beat some idiot in age of empires, after the game end, he thought i cheat or use hacks, cause baby moron cant understand how i won without using the "book/everyone use it" strategy... so in a few minutes after the end of the game i get my computer hacked, i need to reinstall windows cause some stupid "gamer" dont accept a lose.
as much fun i get playing online, as time past, the hacks, cheats and "bad" gamers always rise... i stop playing online long time ago, maybe just with real friends once in a while, but now mostly play in lan partys, its insane the garbage you find online.
somehow, some people, think they are better just by winning, no matter if they use cheats, hacks, bugs, etc. they never got the "fair play" or "honor" lessons.
one theory is that all bugs are built in the game by the programmers, cause that guys got a big EGO, they made the game!!! "how can they lose to some kid" he will learn to respect the creator!!! cause the kid dont know i secretly built that code in the game, so if i do this and that, the kid has no chance against the "game master", the EGO makes them tell proud to a few how they lack of ability in that game no matter cause they are SO GOD PROGRAMERS, and the bug, cheat, hack or whatever get spreading like a virus with all unethical gamers out there.
LOL there's been hacking for over a year. I saw it on youtube. COD4 isn't in anymore anyways. It will never make a come back.
I stopped playing most online games because of rampant cheating. Worst of all, most admins are retarded and can't tell the difference between actual cheating and legit skill. I've been banned from so many CS:S servers because of admins thinking I "hacked" that it's funny. Only thing you can really do to stop cheating is execute the cheaters in public and display their corpses for everyone to see. Or at the very least, they should be publicly humiliated and forced to serve jail time, where they'll be sodomized and scarred for life, and no amount of cheating will be able to heal the permanent damage they'll have endured. Because once someone starts cheating, they're going to keep doing it and finding ways, and game companies aren't going to want to spend the time or resources to patch the games when cheaters will just find more hacks and glitches, especially when it's several years old.
I really like BF2 but the admins are out of control. You do well and you either the admin or a clad member mad you get kicked. Plus, more maps than not have too many freaking rules!!! And, what about Friendly fire?? Why is it Admins allow FF? More times than not a team member runs in front of my fire or tank and get killed and it's my fault. WTF?!
They run around with guns and granades all bad-like and yet cry like babies.
PlayStation 3 need to hotfix
and i hate cheaters ..
It's only a matter of time before the goddamn haxors find their way into our games to ruin the fun for those of us who want to game on a level playing field. Dickheads.
forget hacking! play the game the way it is, why show anyone online that you need a handicap like bowling or golf. if you suck you suck. just play normal to see your own qualities,,,,,,
