(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ive been reported at least 3 times for using the UFO mod. Im a little worried I might get my IP address banned from PSN. Then again theres a modder or 2 in every match you go into. Do you think IW would ban half the people playing online?... or do you think they'll just patch it and take no action for the thousands of people who modded within the past week?

True, but if it was only a temporary ban - say 3 months - that would be enough to teach cheaters a lesson without losing custom long-term.

I think we all know a general ban is unlikely, but seeing as IW have been logging on, noting cheaters PSN Tags, they could make an example of a few users....

I know this is my first post, and I'm not trying to troll, I just want to state my opinion on this.

In all reality, the probability of your MAC address getting banned over just your account is pretty high. IW and Sony both know that people are creating new accounts to hack with because they're mostly getting reports of people hacking who are still under level 5 in the first series of ranks. And if it means that they have to lose the handful of people doing it, then so be it.

I, myself, reported at least 10 people last night to Sony. I can't stand people who will hide inside of walls and hang out on roof tops where no one can access. There are several different opinions in here, and there's really no sense in arguing who's right, because when it's all said and done, the hackers will be wrong and punished. It's that simple.

M8 dw there jus tryin 2 scare you

ive haad at least 10 messages sayin there gonna ban me (checked it as well)

and it hasnt happened

Well it's not an argument about who is right as much as a friendly debate with a little conjecture thrown in for good measure.

While I agree with you in terms of your opinion on hacking (I hate it - it ruins the game for everyone) - I still think it unlikely that IW will resort to mass MAC address bans.

For a start they need to determine who has been hacking - apart from going online and taking a few names, I can't see how they could determine positively who has been hacking and who hasn't. Even if their server logs can indicate this - are they really going to pay someone to spend days trawling through them?

I think they'll release the patch, send out a few warnings and possible ban a handful of high profile users that IW themselves have witnessed cheating.

Of course this is just MHO too...

As far as the popularity of the game is concerned, IW will do everything in their power to prevent users from ruining their upcoming release, MW2. They know the size of their following and they know that a lot of people won't play if the same people who exploited the first MW just for fun will be doing it in MW2.

I guess only time will tell. But I do know for a fact that accounts are being banned because people in my clan have reported people, then tried to send them a PM over the PSN hours later and it said that the account does not exist. Things are happening, and even though many of you haven't been caught, you will be soon enough.

nah if u dont want to get banned then dont hack!!!

True enough, and it's certainly worth them investigating/patching CoD4 as I'm sure it will invaluable in determining any weaknesses/potential exploits in the new game.



Hmm interesting - and if it is happening, then I for one am happy - If it were up to me I'd ban them all for a minimum of 3 months.



PS - what clan are you in? I'm clanless at the moment...

Everyone in this thread is going a little far with this whole thing. We are talking about a VIDEO GAME on a GLITCHING WEBSITE. First off, anyone reporting anyone for doing this stuff is just a glorified SNITCH. You don't like the hacker's flying around, LEAVE THE GAME or play something else (an outdoor sport such as basketball sounds good, so you can get in shape to possibly find a girlfriend so you can stop obsessing about COD all the time) Yes, I know your argument " Hackers made it so I can't play anymore. " We are not the only ones to blame here, Infinity Ward made the game hackable. It's not like it was a hard hack, either. Mod a game save for 2 minutes and you can fly around in ranked games, easy as that. Ask Infinity Ward to stop screwing up your precious game. What do you stand to gain by reporting people? IW already knows there's a problem and I'm sure they are working on a way to fix it. And if reported people get banned as a result of SNITCHING, you just ruined their gaming experience by taddle taling on them, so is that being "the better man" or "doing the right thing"? The answer is NO, you are just as bad as us. I bet if half or 75% of the whiners could figure out how to do the hack, they would stop CRYING to IW "please fix my precious game."

In closing, this seems to be a common theme in modern day youth. Kids are getting smarter and figuring out ways to do these types of hacks / mods. There's not much anyone can do to stop this, but reporting fellow gamers for doing this seems harsh. Let the people who get paid to work for IW worry about fixing problems and reporting so-called "cheaters." The last place in the world to try to win this argument is in a glitching website, by the way.
