Treyarch Issues Stern Warning to Black Ops Cheaters
"You better think twice before you glitch," says multiplayer director David Vonderhaar.
Like any new multiplayer game adopted by millions of people at once, unscrupulous players have already found a few exploits and glitches in Call of Duty: Black Ops. Treyarch isn't taking the matter sitting down, but doesn't want to give fame to the cheaters either.
"What many of these people want is to be Internet nerd famous," wrote multiplayer director David Vonderhaar on the Call of Duty forums. "I'm not going to make them famous and you shouldn't either ... Given the opportunity, I'd personally wield the ban hammer for anyone who thinks he is clever by abusing any glitches. Good think [sic] I don't have the opportunity that often and we actually have a constructive, measured, and well-managed live ops team."
"We said we would support the game. We are going to support it," he said. "We are disinterested in making mini-celebrities out of douche-bags. You better think twice before you glitch. You never know who in your game doesn't like glitchers who reports you and saves the game in their File Share and tells us about it."
The note expressed some frustration with the community response to the exploit-users, and served partly as a chastising of those who overreacted. Still, players who have used the glitches to their advantage would be wise to stop, since Vonderhaar's note carries a thinly veiled threat of bans.
I recommend you not post any glitches on your main-channels unless you want to have your accounts terminated like I had occur to my channels with thousands of subscribers and multiple million views.
I'm selling my used copy to someone else who was planning to purchase it at a retailer (less money for Activi$ion) until this issue is dealt with.

Yes, im looking at the exploits and hacks but I don't even own a console right now (keep my ps3 on for a whole day while it was around 80 in my upstairs house so then the hard drive had just cooked)

Can’t trickshot me!
1. First off, they're just making themselves look like a bunch of idiots by saying "we're not going to make people famous". Because you can't get famous by posting glitch videos and s**t! God d****t they are so freaking pathetic...
2. The Atari, Blizzard, and IW lawsuits/incidents were ENOUGH...
This just makes me look at Activision/Treyarch as a bunch of lame F**k heads that wan't to punish people for finding THEIR mistakes/flaws in THEIR game, instead of fixing it themselves... F**K you Activision/Treyarch
3. My youtube channel is pretty much toast now because of these stupid F***ers.
4. There is not one single thing that is illegal about posting glitch videos. Its basicly built INTO the game, but it was not meant to be. (if you know what i mean) So basicly, its not altering the game, its just finding out loopholes in the game to perform better. MODDING is a different story though...
5. They can burn in hell...
6. +REP/Thank if you agree 100% with me...
