Infinity Ward say they are working on fixing all the hack crap:

but to be honest i've never seen a game so flipped upside down in my life. Every server I've tried to go in theres some weird crap going on where some guy is instantly killing everyone as soon as they spawn lol, so hes got like 100+ kills in a minute or two, and soon as you spawn you just die it's weird. The games in complete ruin, I was on it for about half hour and couldn't find one server where this carry on wasn't happening.

It's not dead at all.

Well it's pretty unplayable for me? And maybe it is infinity ward doing this so everyone just goes to black ops or something. If they don't fix it then they are just another EA.

It's not dead but it's completely ruined now. About 2 in 3 matches have at least one person who's actively impacting the game with hacks or cheats and the game isn't enjoyable anymore. You can't log online and chill out with a few matches and work towards the next level anymore. I've been exposed to gun hacks, low gravity hacks, I've had my name changed and my experience gain decreased or increased massively - and my cousin's even had his character's level reset to 1.

The game's got players but for all intents and purposes it's dead. If anyone thinks this is an exaggeration they clearly haven't been online recently. This is hands-down the worst state any PC or console game have been. I'm quite awestruck by the amount of people with access to these hacks; it's a minor but significant number of the playerbase...

RIP Call of Duty

It's weird because about a week ago I was really enjoying it never came across the hacks it's the game I play quite a bit now I can't relly play it anymore... I've no idea how all this carry on has managed to happen right under infinity wards noses. Hope they do sort it but im starting to think R.I.P. as well, due to the fact black ops is out etc.

Personally think it's pathetic it's been over-run by hackers. Whats the xbox like? I've got a 360 as well but don't really play it, but if thats not got the problem then i'll just buy it for 360 and start again on that.

Feel sorry for you PS3 users. MW2 on 360 is as good as it was before Black Ops came out and is a night freshen up for when Black ops gets a bit stale.

Shouldv'e bought a 360. *smirk*

Ideal then, yeah ps3 costs a ton more but the security and what not is absolutely pathetic. Expectations have plummited. Whats to stop hackers spreading over doing it to other games, heard it's already started in killzone 2 etc. Looks like i'll be moving to 360.

It's a little bit of IW but it's Sony fault by a massive margin. The security lapse in the PS3 is what opened the floodgates. There were the occasional hacks here and there which IW could individually but slowly stamp out, now it's totally out of control.

Note that the 360 version suffers from hacks as well, but it's extremely rare - maybe 1 in 10 matches?

Cheats and hacks for a ton of other PS3 games are appearing as a result of the Sony security lapse as well - expect games like BC2 and Killzone 2 (and unfortunately 3 ) to suffer as well. The PS3 is a doomed platform for online play now.

To be honest I wish what you were saying was rubbish but it's the reality

.

Can sony not update with new security software or something because this is ridiculous, I bought the console mostly for online gaming. And think it's pretty terrible of a company to let games get out of hand like that, consiering you pay £40 or whatever for the game and can't really get full use of it.
