Sony, Microsoft, Activision and or any other game manufacturer, must stay on top of this issue and continual patch and fix the security breaches.
They must do this to enable enjoyment of their games by legitimate players.
MW2 is a perfect example of hackers and mod'ers running amuck. The leader boards are trashed and you simply can not play a legitimate multiplayer on line match.
Look.. I have no problem if a hacker wants to Mod their machine so that they can run other apps and unleash its true processing potential.. Like using it as media server... Go at it !!...
I even have no problem, with them hosting a PRIVATE match with their other little hacker buddies and dropping a million nukes on each others little hacker heads..
Have at it and have fun in the PRIVATE lobby...
But that is not what the hackers are doing.. they are using these hacks to enter public lobbies and using them against legitimate players. They are using these powerful hacks to even screw with other players and reset their stats...
As I look at the issue... . in any community, whether real and or virtual, that type of behavior will ultimately not be tolerated.
NOTE to HACKERS ----- Remember... More people are engaging in these type of games (COD) than watch Jay Leno, David Letterman and Jimmy Kimmel combined. These people will not tolerate their nightly enjoyment been destroyed. The manufactures will pay attention and fix it. The dollars in the match will force this issue...
Whether its via a patch, hardware update, and or even ostracizing those who "step over the line.
It will get fixed...
