It's a shame that this is happening but it was on the cards.
Regardless of your thoughts on homebrew ones fun should be ruined by these dickheads.
Let's hope Sony bans their consoles. I would say ban their profiles but they could always make another one.

You know, I still have yet to see how these "homebrewers" have opened the console in a good way. Pirates, hackers, cheaters....yeah it's great that the PS3 is open now!!
If people start hacking their Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit times, I fucking quit.

Hahahahah that's hilarious to think of an online FPS community as "the wild west". So awesome.
@Choc
I have no idea what's wrong with your internet connection, but mine is the exact same as the PS3 version.
Except the PS3 revolted against Treyarch and demanded their money back, haha.

When it happened with Call of Duty 4 though, wasn't that back when the PS3 still allowed other OSs to be installed? It definitely seems like the PS3 is much more hack-friendly, and I don't doubt that there is little IW can do to resolve the problem.
Aimbots/cheats and unlocking trophies (that just boggles the mind) defeats the purpose of playing the games, doesn't it? I'm with Bakewell: Ban the consoles. Also:

Well, this is certainly an unfortunate turn of events. I don't have the PS3 version of MW2, but is 'overrun' really the best word for it? The impact of hacking is always exaggerated in these reports.
As a former 360 MW2 player, I dealt with enough of that bullshit. It actually ruined multiplayer for me. Well that and the goddamn 13 yr olds. Good thing I have enough friends so I don't have to put up with that shit in blops.
I still find ruining the fun of other by hacking pathetic just hack in private games or something or just limit yourself to stat hacking.
Regardless of which console is being talked about, it's always a shame to me when the punks of the internet ruin the multiplayer fun for the rest of everyone. I, for one, play games to relax and have fun. I don't know many people who consider babysitting brats fun. I do get a kick out of getting profiles banned though.
@qlum: So you're okay with completely ruining one of the most played games for millions of people because now you have "freedom"? Freedom to do what, exactly? I understand that some people may not play Call of Duty games and so they don't care about this, but picture your favorite game becoming unplayable and let us know if it would be worth it for "freedom."
I also hope sony won't just ban anyone with homebrew installed just ban the ones that hack online and not the ones that just install homebrew.
@Sexualchocolate
This is MW 1 and 2, not Black Ops. And, like Magnalon said, you must have your PS3 plugged into a T1 and your 360 on dial-up if you have the problems you describe, because they certainly aren't true for anybody I know.

Idk the game works fine on my Xbox I barely even lose connection {runs smooth like butter} or anything unless the host has a bad connection but yeah o__o I feel sorry for ps3 player and i'm sure there will be some Inevitable Assassins Creed Avatar person About to comment on this. LoL :D
this is why i never liked playing online games. and the whole point of trophies/achievements. if people can cheat online and get things most people normally would have to work hard for just ruins it for me.
which is also the reason i almost never play games online. to many assholes everywhere.
why? why cheat online?
but what i do miss from the old days is the gamesharks for use in single player games. man think of the fun you could have in saints row 2 or gta4 with a new cheat device!

@CelicaCrazed Is that really all that surprising? The interesting story is not that the homebrewers have created/are working on homebrew games and creations, or that they've reinstalled Linux to use as they were before, it is the piracy that everyone's interested in. And of course you're going to have that, and these hackers who do what they can to ruin games. They're the newsworthy, page view grabbing stories.
I'll be more interested when those stories start going.

I don't really play competitive online multiplayer, so I'm even more amazed that these scum actually feel that they get something out of it. All they're really doing is wasting their own time getting a game to play itself for them, so aren't they missing out as much as anyone else...?
If Sony has the ability to brick consoles the way they say they do they should start swinging it around a bit. Not too many of these shit faces will be able to borrow the money from their mama to buy a new PS3.
It begins. First MW2 will fall. Then Black Ops, MAG, and Killzone 2. None are safe.
@Sexy
Oh you! If I can play a smooth night of Reach on my neighbors porch with one bar of wi-fi we're siphoning from the fellow who lives behind him I think the problem is on your end.
Or you could quit playing CoD and play with the cool kids. Just sayin'. ;)

This is why I prefer PC games with dedicated servers and admins.
Anyway,
1. OtherOS restoring is in development. It has been since September when the dongle exploits were first being used. Along with the backup loaders and everything else they had out at the time.
2. If it makes anyone feel better, someone released a backup-loader capable firmware this morning. Tons of people rushed to install it. Many people got bricked. They were probably pirates.

i doubt sony is going to try to fix this at all, because it may well be that the PS3 is now permanently compromised.
perhaps it would be better to put everything into PS4 development and get it to market before this issue and PS3 piracy gets so widespread that publishers lose interest in the console.

@Dexter345
with freedom I mean freedom to install homebrew on your ps3
and everyone knows this situation is temporarily until sony starts banning/ disallowing people with modified firmware/games from online play.
I don't think there are much hackers online jet since there is only a small minority of people who hack there ps3's and a even smaller one that updates to 3.55 and plays online
I also know how it is to have your favorite game with hackers in it bfbc2 has a lot of hackers on PC still punkbuster does a good job banning them .

Can't they just ban these people like XBL did?
I've NEVER run into a cheater on XBL as their very good with swinging the ban hammer! Both my friends who modded their 360's got banned within minutes of signing into XBL with their modded consoles.
Hopefully Sony puts a system in place where they can do the same though I heard the hackers have some "timecode" of something that makes them very hard to track!
I really wouldn't want the PSN online scene to go the way of the Wii with rampant cheating and hacking but if they don't fix it soon this won't look very good in the ol' PSN vs XBL debate lol.

They should ban people who get caught hacking or playing backups. However, simply having a CFW shouldn't be grounds for banning.
Just my two cents.

Oh.. So this is what the "homebrew scene" is? Have developing your useless little programs, while online gaming on an entire console gets fucked. It was so worth it.
If this spreads like this to the rest of the games on my ps3, then I'm done with all multiplayer.
If peole start Hacking DC Universe like this... I don't want to think about it.

Sony should just step in and start bricking consoles. Or at least block their internet connection.
Sony's making it very simple for hackers on their system not because it's an easy console to hack, but because there aren't any repercussions. If there are no consequences to cheating, then why not do it?

i played mw2 a bunch this weekend and noticed the increase in hackers. but "overrun" is an overstatement. through about 8 -10 hours or more of online play i was put into 3 games with a hacker, and immediately quit, no biggie. and this with only 100,000 people online. not too bad.
gotta say, even with the hackers, mw2 on ps3 > bl ops on ps3.... at least half the games i play on bl ops end early with connection errors. incredibly frustrating.

I've been banned from psn 3 times for swearing in modnation racers! Hah one more time and my ps3 will be bricked. I think they use the banhammer a lot more than you people think. But that's only because moderators moderate the game, so sony is going to have to find a way to find this assholes without people reporting them.
@KenAkuma:
Sony doesn't wield the banhammer like MS. I think they are capable, but PSN isn't as important to the PS3 initiative as XBL is to the 360. Part of what you pay for with XBL is moderation and enforcement of the TOS.

SexyChoc is just saying that to keep up with appearances I'm sure. He's probably having a blast playing Reach right now.
This wouldn't be such a problem if there were dedicated servers. Call of duty 4 on PC was awesome and there were aimbots and that kind of stuff.
Seriously I don't get the cheating, but saying this is the homebrew scene's fault is really accurate.
It's like saying, somebody kills someone with a gun and we blame the gun and not the person that made the shot.

Guess what.
Sony can't remove the exploit, either.
This is a good thing.
It means you'll get dedicated servers in any game that gives a fuck about its online community. A few little immediate catchers on the devs' behalf to get the obvious hacks, and then the admins of the dedicated servers to pick out the bad apples.
It works out well, since dedicated servers are far, far more desirable than P2P from a gameplay perspective. Plus, there's nothing saying you can't host a local server anyway, much like with PC gaming.
Though, I'm speaking on a "what if" scenario here. It's likely nothing will be done and shit will continue hitting the fan at high velocity.

We need an edit function xD

Fuck. I think I'll just sell my copy and get it on the 360. I don't even remember why I got in the PS3 in the first place.
I never understand why people get their jollies from glitching and hacking games. Hooray for opening the ps3? Sony needs to step in and just ban consoles. They know what consoles are linked to what usernames so ban that console FOREVER from ever logging onto PSN.
Sony needs to address this or interest in their console will be die -- it will be the PS3's own personal Great Depression. It will be over.
@wutang4ever
The modifications, by and large, are completely undetectable, and since they're signed by Sony's own key, will probably never be properly detectable.
They don't really have a way around this other than actually putting measures in place for game developers to secure their games.
Of course IW are going to blame Sony for this, they created their game on what was a secure system. However if their next game falls foul to the same hacks, it's IW's fault for not responding accordingly, given Sony lets them implement what they want to.
