Hacking on Playstation 3

Thu Jan 13, 2011 5:24 pm
Update: I just left a security meeting with the coders here at Infinity Ward where we discussed a lot of solutions. I feel good about the meeting, but of course I can't go into detail on the possible solutions we discussed as we don't want to give out any information that could potentially hinder the security any further.

Once I have more information, I will post it here.

The key factor I want you to know is, that while any update takes time, we are looking to make the process as quick as possible and nothing is being left unattended.

Our main focus right now is on:

1) Preventing hackers from affecting legitimate players.
2) Addressing users who have already been affected.

Original Post:

Sony has recently acknowledged a breach in security on the PS3 which has resulted in the hardware and its games to become exposed to exploits and hacks. Modern Warfare 2 is no exception to this security exploit and we understand that some of you have experienced problems with stats and other issues associated with this.

Report Inappropriate Players to Sony

Games rely on the security of the encryption on the platforms they're played on, therefore; updates to the game through patches will not resolve this problem completely, unless the security exploit itself is resolved on the platform. However, that doesn't mean we're not going to look into every option available to us. Regretfully, Call of Duty games are receiving the bulk of the hacker's attention, due to its high player counts and popularity. However, the number of legitimate players severely outweighs the bad apples.

If you are concerned about playing with players who are hacking, I encourage you to play exclusively with friends by utilizing the party or private match options in Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty 4 to avoid such players as much as possible until this issue is resolved by Sony.

At this time, we do not have the ability to restore or adjust individual stats.

Let me assure you, while we are very reliant on Sony updating their firmware and security to address the core problem of this issue. We are looking at EVERY option available to us to help any user affected.

This only applies to legacy games such as Call of Duty 4 and Modern Warfare 2. In the future we plan to adjust our approach to not rely solely on platform security and reduce the ability for this to happen in our games, as has already been displayed by the work Treyarch has done on Call of Duty: Black Ops to prevent similar measures.

I bet 402 know much about how this is, therefore he will know that 11th prestige or hidden prestige is a host only function - which will turn out that I have had a CL. You think I could still do 10th Prestige Hack? to remove my 11th

1) Preventing hackers from affecting legitimate players.

not sure where you got ur info, if ward was basically shut down but the name is still here, Sludge Hammer Games and Raven Software are the new creators of the game :dingding:

Did anyone notice the way he said

He didn't say that they are going to stop hacking, just stop it from affecting the legitimate players. This means that they might just set up a server for us hackers

Lol you're asking me where I got my info while I gave a source. . I'd
like to see your source.

Let's try again. You must login or register to view this content. recently stated that the remaining 60-70 people at Infinity Ward are still working there and the people who left have been replaced.

The studio Sledgehammer is currently working on a Call of Duty Spin off game. The source in my original post stated that Sledgehammer and Raven are currently helping Infinity Ward on creating Modern Warfare 3. Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer will be responsible for the Singleplayer and Raven will be responsible for the Multiplayer.

Instead of just saying I'm wrong give me a source and maybe I'll take you serious.

Im going to say this one more time, infinity ward is basically just being used ofr its name, yes they are helpingbut not the creators!

^OMG SOURCES!!!!:wtf: Oh! btw, watch the first minute and 20 seconds of the video to explain IW role in this

Just force host into a game, and play normally without any hacks, because your host and you control the menu.

Simple.

Will you get banned for having 11th prestige?
