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?

But look at this way. Blops is how old? Approaching it's 1 year mark. Also, take a look at how old World At War is. Pretty much every lobby you get into is hacked, because the game is OLD. MW2 is OLD. Blops is getting up there, so I don't mind minor hacking. When it comes to the term, 'old and outdated' I don't see a problem reconfiguring the game, or restructuring it to make it fun. Hacking, AKA 'reverse engineering' is more fun when you do it to improve the game, or make it fun. The same try-hards, trying hard on a game that's 2 years old....Come on. I mean, really? Everyone damn well knows MW2 has turned into a giant quickscoping ground, or a ****-off, yet the UMP fags, and OMA dipshits still continue to pretend the game is a new release. Weigh those options.
