Infinity Ward has announced that a brand new security patch for Modern Warfare 2 is currently in QA and prepped to launch on the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. The game is still heavily played, but the PS3 version has especially fallen foul of scumbag cheaters. IW is on the warpath, naturally.
“The latest patch for Modern Warfare 2 has finished production and is now going through internal quality assurance. This new title update will address security issues that have affected online play,” said community manager Robert Bowling. “We plan to release this update for all platforms (Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and PC). No release date is set at this time. Once an ETA is established, it will be posted here.”
Fun times, good for all!

Anyways, this is good news for my friends and I, as we still play MW2 at least 3-4 nights a week.

Berserk FTW!
Wait what? The PC version has been infested with aimbots since launch. The PS3 version is still pretty tame in my experience.
I might go back to playing this now."
Nah,the games still a broken mess,even without hackers ;P.
I play nearly every day for a bit, and the game is just fine on the 360. Other than the occasional beginning of match disconnect, the actual gameplay is fine, with rarely any hacking or glitches.
You're thinking of Modern Warfare 2: which, like treythalomew, I also quit because of how many glitches there were.
I hope this patch comes soon because I returned black ops and want to see how much I've improved on mw2 since I switched to battlefield
