I know I'm probably going to get flamed because there are lots of MW2 h4x haters out there, but just because there are also a lot of kids on this site who DO hack MW2 and ARE interested in hacks for it, I'm going to post this. Sorry in advance if it's in the wrong section. I don't believe this has been posted yet, but if it has, feel free to close this thread.
Basically, what's going to happen, is a new MW2 patch will be released, erasing the hacks from people's systems. (Better late than never, I guess)
The patch has already been written (this has been confirmed by fourzerotwo), they're just in the final stages of tweaking it.
Apart from the fact that it will be erasing the hacks, the other main issues it will be addressing will be the Fuel rock glitch, slightly decreasing Commando range, nerfing the Tar slightly, and possibly fixing the spawns a bit. To quote fourzerotwo, "OMA will not be tweaked. We've fought that fight and lost."
A quick bio on who fourzerotwo is, for those of you who don't know:
Robert Bowling, also known by his username fourzerotwo or 402, is Infinity Ward's Creative Strategist, formerly Community Manager. Any official information regarding Infinity Ward's games in the Call of Duty franchise is released through him.
We should expect to see this patch out within the next few weeks.. but who knows, if the suddenness of 3.56 OFW was anything to go by, it could be by the end of the week
What are your thoughts on this, guys?
Oh, one last thing, the link to Woodysgamertag's video explaining all this is
Apart from that video, I also gathered info regarding the patch from various forums and Twitter posts.
Feel free to thank this and +rep me if this helped with anything
sony doesnt ban for challenge lobbys kid u get banned from the game soooooo the maker of the game banns you for edditing there game with a copyand paist file and if ur saing banned for cfw its because your violating there rules and u dont get banned from hacking cuz your did not hack nuthing just put a file on your flashdrive and upload to your ps3 thats a great hack so am i a hacker if i upload songs from another computer onto mine using a flashdrive???cool:plank::n00b:
I'm kind of glad that they're releasing a patch. Challenge lobbies were fun and all, but when I want to play a legit match now, I have to force host myself to become the host. I think challenge lobbies should remain in private matches, even though I had a LOT of fun doing shit in public matches. :y:
But can't people just use hacks even if they aren't host?
Hopefully this patch will stop people writing patch_mp.ff's on there consoles. Maybe it will include some sort of checksum that checks to make sure patch_mp.ff hasnt been modified and if it has it will overwrite it. The PS3 situation is quite ridiculous ATM. All these hacks are the main reason i havnt touched my PS3 the best part of a month. Fair enough it was OK when a few people where hacking. But now all these people think they are L33T just because they can host a CL on COD thanks to Geohot. All the people that actually invested in a 3.41 PS3 to do lobbies are the real hackers.
Yeah, I believe that's what's going to happen. There have been other Twitter posts and forum posts that acknowledge CFW's and the fact that they can edit the patches, but they've said there will be something that stops, or at least strongly impedes that.

Nerfing = taking a big of the damage off. That gun is like a one shot kill to the head with stopping power. It's a bit nuts. And there will be a checksum in the game that makes sure you have the proper patch.. so you'll still be able to change the new one.. you just won't be able to play online with it

Nothing, unless they make the patch hard or impossible to alter.. but the problem is they're going to start monitoring patches online, I believe, and so if you don't have the proper patch you won't be able to play online with it.
Another idea I've heard from someone in this thread (can't remember who, but props to you) is they're going to put some sort of blocker on Force Host. That way, people will still be able to screw around in private matches, but just like what happened with the 11th prestige if you didn't change your default_mp.self, the game would most likely crash and send you an error message saying "Disconnected for safety."
