Modern Warfare 2 Online Play Crippled by PS3 Security Breach

One of the biggest fears shared amongst PlayStation 3 owners, after the console’s massive security breach several days ago, was that wannabe hackers would exploit this weakness, and use it for their own gain to cheat and modify games online. It didn’t take long for these fears to manifest themselves as reality, and now one of the most popular online shooters around has been brought to its knees.

And this is precisely why I don’t care if you intend to pirate or not – if you’re hacking the system, you’re pissing me off. Once this trickles into games I like such as BFBC2 and RDR it’s gonna really get me riled up. What’s the point in playing using an aim-bot and other cheat crap like that? It kills the fun, flat out. We had it good, free online support, reliable service, regular updates, but nooooo, that wasn’t good enough. Ahhhh… thank god some devs still believe in making a good single player game – there’s no point in competing to see who the better cheater is.

NJShadow5470d ago

Yeah. Citing the PSP, I think that was a system where many were willing to lose the ability to play online since it was, of course, the PSP. The PS3... not so much, so this really does suck.

Istanbull5470d ago (Edited 5470d ago )

WHERE were this articles back in 2009?? The hacks have been there the month MW2 got released!

The game just got more cheaters with the security breach.

I hope Sony bans and bricks people using cfw. Show no mercy!

WildArmed5470d ago (Edited 5470d ago )

@Istanbull

LoL, it gives them another chance to play Sony for their lack of security in MW2.
Because when people hacked, it was ok..
now since the PS3 is hacked, every1 can start pointing fingers @ Sony :)

I mean people talk as if CoD4 didn't have hacks back in '08.. b4 the jail break.

Jailbreak just made it easier 4 10 year olds to hack game.. well kodus to the dumass hackers out there..
You definitely made console gaming a better place

MWong5470d ago (Edited 5470d ago )

Agreed w/BigWoopMagazine

The entire situation is getting annoying. I keep thinking DreamCast here we go again. I knew it was going to be hacked, but not to this level. The thing that I really find funny is that I keep reading articles saying they only wanted to bring back previously removed features. I still don't see those features.

Istanbull5470d ago

Why bring up the Dreamcast? I know some butthurt fangirls tried to downplay the PS3 and called it a disaster like the Dreamcast back in 2007.

The truth is, Dreamcast is a better console than both of the xboxs.

FailOverHero5470d ago

Xbox? Lol lashing out cos you're angry and frustrated huh? Understandable

lil Titan5470d ago

Next article im hoping for "Sony Strikes BACK!!! Angry banned gamers cry"

xAlmostPro5469d ago

It was full of hacks before the breach or the jailbreak. The jailbreak just made it more accessible to people who aren't actually hackers, so they could just copy & paste the code and install..

get off of the bandwagon :L

Yeah, the Microsoft deal has DEFINITELY worked out for everyone.

Can this mother fucker just get lost already

He belongs in here ⚰️, hopefully sooner than later.

MrDead10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.

Microsoft needs to listen or risk irreparable harm to Call of Duty

Windows Central: "The money may keep rolling in, but Microsoft is the custodian of one of the biggest selling video game series in history. If something doesn't change, I fear we'll reach a breaking point and irreparable damage will have been done."

Because ms is so good at managing studios, surely they will get it right

:P

franwex51d ago

In my view, they should probably merge MP with Warzone and essentially make it free to play like Halo Infinite. The campaign/zombies mode can be $30 yearly DLC. I know this would be insanity as most COD players essentially pay the full price of the game simply for the MP. However-with a shrinking player base they may have to consider it. Making it free would bring in a ton of players.

Profchaos51d ago

To late MW3 should have been a lesson but here we are two years later with a steaming pile a shite called blops7

bsingle4051d ago

Nothing lasts forever, eventually something will come along to make people forget about COD

@Oumba:”We’ve heard that story many times before 😂”
You know what we seen many times good franchises been run into the ground by bad management like h___o , f___a and most of the sports game oh I forgot the dynasty warriors
Oh forgot to say
Happy thanksgiving to all the N4G members

Halo killer once arrived and technically call of duty killer also arrived, its name is Fortnite

dveio51d ago

Call of Duty was riding the revenue horse and charts for ~20 years. Whether undeserved or deserved.

But I endorse everyone to remind you that Microsoft could have decided differently when they took it over.

The money was certainly there, and they could have taken their time revamping the franchise:

Current-gen tech, manageable microtransactions, not imitating Fortnite and returning to core values of the franchise's origin.

They didn't.

Let's see next year. Hopefully without the then 13 years old PS4 and One hardware.

blacktiger51d ago

you need to stop saying "let see next year"

While i appreciate the gesture.... all of these retro classics have been made available everywhere else. I am hoping to see some other Activision properties make their way out of the shackles of the 5th, 6th and 7th gen. Licensing be damned... bring back the Transformers Cybertron games.

P_Bomb240d ago

Love the Cybertron games! TF games have been shit lately. Would love to see that era revisited. I even did the multiplayer!

MrBaskerville239d ago

Is the retro classics for all consoles?

Obscure_Observer240d ago

Metaphor on Gamepass just announced! O.o

Seriously, this is the best generation of Xbox ever!!!

We can´t catch a freaking break from awesome games arriving all the time!!!

Deathdeliverer240d ago

It’s a HELL of a game. If you like JRPGs in the family of Persona, you will be in heaven… that is until you hear the various battle music…. then you’ll be somewhere BEYOND heaven!

babadivad239d ago

Just finished Clair Obscur. This should be fun.
