This is odd...

Usually PS3 is tight when it comes to Hacking/piracy/virus related issues.

I have not seen any of these glitches myself, but this does come after the game has been out for almost two years so it's imaginable that it could be hacked by now.

I've played it the other day. I didn't see anything out of the ordinary. I might have to check out if it is really overrun by those fuckfaces.

@Jonah
Along with Chronoswing's point - this.

I have no problem with hackers I just wish they would do that on their own freaking servers. It pisses everyone off when they have to deal with some idiot hacking on a public server.

Funny, I saw about 2 or 3 NoClip glitchers on the 360 version the other night.

@los255 Any video proof? No one has been complaining on the 360 side.

Im just sick of getting killed by modded controllers.

You let people remove the hard drive and put a new one in, you open the console to a world of hurt, as proven here. I believe there was an issue a while ago where people could give themselves unlimited ammo and health, too.

This is quite a bad thing for a game this big. I hope Infinity Ward fix it asap.

I played on the 360 two days ago with Rabite, we had no problems.

Hopefully you PS3 dudes get this fixed!

They call themselves “modders” and they claim they are bringing a “new” type of gaming experience to digital entertainment. Their quest, supposedly, is to grace gamers with sights never seen before such as flying, invisibility, and weapon tricks. Personally, I believe this group of individuals simply lack the skills needed to play any competitive game legitimately. I have met them in Gears of War 2 (actually made me stop playing Gears) and Left 4 Dead and to a man/woman they have never been elite players. Actually, their antics usually start once they realize they face superior foes. Valve and Epic addressed their game exploits with some patches, but I believe bans are the only real way to prevent them from destroying game experiences. As I mentioned, these players are usually not that good and whether they are bored as a result of constantly losing or because they care not one bit about destroying the experience (the ones I have met are often children who in many cases don’t spend their own money to buy games) for others is up for debate.
That’s too bad for Call of Duty players on the PS3, I know that on the 360 it has been circulated that one should immediately file a complaint when one encounters strange behavior on a game server (there is actually a complaint specifically for game tampering). Bungie has instituted bans, Epic has reset rankings, and Valve has patched servers/games (but there are bunch of new cheats: Ghost-slashing, power-shots, and team teleports). Frankly, these gamers suck nuts and I love beating them with legit tactics in spite of their cheating ways.

If devs want people to keep buying their games for the online component then they have to be maintaining the game. They should have been fixing and patching all of these glitches as they were discovered. Warhawk has almost no glitching... there was little to begin with and any glitches found were quickly patched. Resistance is another game where patches were forthcoming everytime major glitches were discovered and Killzone too. Minor glitches that don't affect gameplay... who cares... but when you have god modes, unlimited ammo and game altering glitches - patch if fast or you'll lose your future player base.

This shit is happening on the 360 side too. I ran into a couple of groups doing it last night.

im getting cod4 today so this stuff better not be happening on the 360 side

BeenThereDoneThat:

If it's so rare, why is Infinity Ward working on a patch for it?

Also, are you a baby?

How come this happen on a console?! This is mostly the fault of IW, of course there will be rotten apples among millions of players. 1000 rouge players can wreck a helluva games..

I hate to be "that guy" but I hate the spread of misinformation even more. People are right, yes, every PS3 has a MAC address (every network card does) but you can't ban by MAC. That address is stripped off and replaced as data travels over routers and switches.

I'm not saying there isn't a console ID, number, etc. that they can ban with, I am just saying that it isn't the MAC address.

Every time someone rips on XBL for costing money, I will link them to this from now on.

You get what you pay for.

Jim face it you clearly are a ps3 basher ;)
For instance need i remind you of Infamous vs Prototype? That was the most blatant descrimination i've ever seen :P

In actual news, yeah i've encountered a lot of it the last three days, it's been driving me bat shit insane as i can't do it/ don't want to in case i get hit with the ban hammer. It's put me off Call of Duty 4 for a while anyway, untill this is sorted, it pisses me off that they don't do it on private servers as these modders really are just ruining the game for others.

@DanOConnor:

It's called a fucking joke. Ever got a sense of humor?

I started noticing these cheaters just within the past few days. People are flying through the air, running through walls, and making themselves invisible. It has become nearly impossible to find a room to play in where there is not at least one of these cheaters. It's extremely annoying..

Anyone who thinks this kind of thing isn't going on on the 360 side of things does not play enough CoD4. I've been in many many games where people have been clearly glitching and modding. The most rampant are definitely the level "hacks" where someone can hop outside of the map with a sniper rifle equipped with bandolier and hang out, picking off targets at will. It's so frustrating, and there are a few maps that will cause me to quit the lobby before things even get started. Not to mention the number of controller mods out there that turn any single-shot weapon (m14, pistol) into a machine gun. Between martyrdom and 3xfrag grenade-spamming, playing CoD4 online makes for a rather frustrating experience of late.

Someone mentioned Gears earlier, and if that game isn't being constantly hacked and modded, ie, taking advantage of the absolutely retarded way Epic set up their servers... I don't know what is.

I, too, cannot wait until Modern Warfare. Hopefully they update and prevent many of these kinds of things from happening... and remove martyrdom from the game entirely.

They have been around for months. At this stage they are little threat to me, I usually get em before they can glitch and most times i can get em while their glitching. It REALLY pisses em off and they leave if they cant get their way. I hav'nt come across any hackers tho.
I'm suprised the PS3 is seen as the system that suffers this problem, most of the videos on youtube are xbox based.
