PC version of COD MW2 has hacks

So much for IWNet curbing cheating

One of the main excuses that developer Infinity Ward used to explain the lack of dedicated server support for the PC release of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 was that it would be able to curb the hacks and cheating with the new system. It would appear that although it was only released a couple of days ago, the first batch of hacks and cheats are already hitting the PC version of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.

The Call of Duty hacking website has published a video that shows their latest hack in action. The hack appears when activated, shows the position of all players, reduces recoil on the guns and adds aiming/firing accuracy. Of course, while some might claim that the video is an elaborate hoax, based on what we can tell we just don’t think so. Of course, as you might expect, the guys responsible for this hack are selling it.

The problem is now that because Infinity Ward has taken away the dedicated servers, there is no way to ban or kick players that are cheating. It would appear that the anti-cheat technology measures that Infinity Ward has deployed aren’t working or picking this up yet. The news isn’t at all encouraging for the initial release of the PC version, and will provide yet another reason for PC players to be disappointed.

Ok, so I've spent the last 3hrs playing an even amount of both SP and MP.

Single Player: No spoilers, I've played the first few levels. I'm as far as the Brazil mission they showed online. One major "I didn't see that coming" already. From the review's I've read though, if you're only planning to pick this up for SP, then wait for the bargain bin, because it's short. Average play through on normal for a CoD4 vet has been 4-5hrs. 7-8hrs if you play on Veteran.

Multiplayer: This is why you buy the game. As tight as ever. I've played a half-dozen rounds and I'm already hooked. Matchmaking hasn't been bad at all. Very easy to jump in and out of games. I can sum up the level design in two words: Vertical Gameplay. I have to go back to UT2K4 to find a game that had so many options to traverse a map. So many cubby holes and back doors it's sick. The larger map size and smaller teams was working surprisingly well. Advancement is a joke so far. They reward you for absolutely everything. I'm Lvl 7 already after only an hour. Instant gratification at it's best. Not complaining again, I'm a tool, I love it

Complaints: These are minor gripes so far. The retail packing should have been stamped "Steam Offline Installer." The very first thing it asks is for your CD key and then informs you it's permanently associated with your Steam account. If you already have Steam installed, do yourself a favor and start it before you start the install.

The instruction book is 9 pages, 4 of which are legal type, and one is a blank "Notes" page. Why the pretense of a real manual, just give me a sticker with my CD key and save that extra 2 cents it costs you to print the manual. Two DVD's 11GB and it doesn't give you the option to install to an alternate directory. Lucky I had 11GB free on my C: drive.

Overall: I think most of you would really like the game. I haven't even tried Spec Ops yet, but that should be great fun for when only one or two of us is on. With the party system and TS, we can stay together as a group as we pub, or if enough of us our online, start a private match. I'll add updates as I play more.

At least when it comes to the Multiplayer.

Infinity Ward needs to realize that talking to people in the PC community does not end well for the buzz around its game. The lack of dedicated servers was "announced" during an interview with a gaming podcast, and the interviewers were stunned into silence when they were basically told their community, as they knew it, was dead. They would have to learn to adapt to Infinity Ward controlling all aspects of the servers, or move onto another game.

Let us set aside some time this last Monday of May, to Remember those who have given their lives to defend our country! Not only today but especially today.



We are organized, Comrades, as our regulations tell us, for the purpose among other things, "of preserving and strengthening those kind and fraternal feelings which have bound together the soldiers sailors and Marines, who united to suppress the late rebellion." What can aid more to assure this result than by cherishing tenderly the memory of our heroic dead? We should guard their graves with sacred vigilance. All that the consecrated wealth and taste of the nation can add to their adornment and security, is but a fitting tribute to the memory of her slain defenders. Let pleasant paths invite the coming and going of reverent visitors and fond mourners. Let no neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the present or to the coming generations that we have forgotten as a people the cost of a free and undivided republic.

If other eyes grow dull and other hands slack, and other hearts cold in the solemn trust, ours shall keep it well as long as the light and warmth of life remain in us.

Let us, then, at the time appointed, gather around their sacred remains, and garland the passionless mounds above them with choicest flowers of springtime; let us raise above them the dear old flag they saved; let us in this solemn presence renew our pledge to aid and assist those whom they have left among us a sacred charge upon the Nation's gratitude—the soldier's and sailor's widow and orphan.
