Reading a news article on the security of Modern Warfare 3 I came across this quote:

"Security was a big problem in previous games, so we've done a whole lot on that to create what we hope is a much more secure game. Part of that is learning from Treyarch's work on Black Ops and being pro-active and aggressive on banning, watching the leader boards, looking for cheaters...And one of the big things we've changed is the ability to alter the game post-launch."

This shows they are going to be using hotfixes to update the game just like Treyarch did so no regular patch updates.

However as you can see in the quote Infinity Ward are not going to be as easy as they were on Modern Warfare 2. On Mw2 the prestige hack was released weeks after the game was launched and nearly nobody got banned or reset, and they still didnt patch it.
Even with challenge lobbies there were still no bans given out.
All of the above refers to ps3 as xbox involved JTAG which you were banned directly by Microsoft.
Boosting was also overlooked on Mw2.

Now infinity ward are taking Treyarchs approach and will be dishing out the bans for boosting and cheating. It is unsure whether there will be the return of the rather harsh console banning which occured after the Eboot hack.
But with COD elite it makes it a whole lot easier to locate boosters and I read that there will be teams of employees who are dedicated to looking at the leaderboards and Elite heat maps for any unusual activity.
As for hacking you can expect bans on Modern Warfare 3 so Id think twice before doing any hacks which do get found (ihatecompvir :carling: )

They are not going to be as lenient this time round so will you still boost?
Will you still try to hack if one is found?

I hope all boosters, hackers, lag switches ect.. Are all IP banned from the game, because its just pathetic.

i hope before mw3 comes out they fix the cod4 servers.i have really good connection but every game i get in everyone including me is lagging :/

I have a strong feeling the CoD after MW3 will have dedicated servers. Usually Treyarch takes complaints IW gets and addresses them, one of the big ones right now is no dedicated servers for consoles which allows lag switching and shit, but I guess we'll see.

fudge bf3 its a rip off of cod and there are no other reasons to buy bf3 and 60 frames per sec im just saying

:lol: your comment makes me laugh, compare it to mw3 then come back and say something like that, compare mw3 to mw2 and say something like that.

yeah i think that being console banned from B.O warned me for future games such as Mw3 since its going to have the same banning system B.O had. ( sorta? ).

Good to hear. I learned my lesson after that eboot hack, I was so pissed that day.

At least there will be no more hackers in public matches.

i am im going to try the beta u ask me when it comes out i might even like it but i wont like it better then cod because its just a rip off and everyone knows it if they want to believe it or not, if you ask any of these companies why they want to make a war game they want a success like cod, even if you dont buy it millions will and makes it a big success
