It didn't take long for some players to try to cheat or exploit Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, and out of the millions of people who purchased the game, 1600 of them already have been banned for cheating.


In a tweet from Infinity Ward creative strategist Robert Bowling's fourzerotwo Twitter account, "Any attempt to cheat, hack, or glitch in #MW3 will not be tolerated. 1600+ bans issued. Updates in works. Please cont. to report offenders."

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 was released on the 8th November across four platforms, and has been a smash hit, selling $775M in its first five days.

Good. I can't stand cheaters. Is the 1600 over all platforms or just one?

1600 cheaters? Kinds of reminds me why I'm not particularly interested in any of the modern shooters on-line website statistics mumbojumbo offers...

I'd actually like to know the motivation behind buying a program such as Aimbot to "play" a game. Aside from racking up kills quickly (something that fast becomes boring in and of itself) server admins pick up on these cheaters very quickly on the good servers and they are kicked, reported then banned. So the cost of the game added to the cost of the program are both lost along wwith their accounts in many instances.
Still, it is a flourishing community and their posts on their own forums have been intriguing to read. When "BF3" beta was hacked, many were already asking when the Cheat Programs would be available for the retail release and their excitement was palpable.
Thousands on "CoD", thousands more on "BF3".

"All Seeing Cow.com", we miss you.

Costly way to annoy folk. Something else going on, something pathological perhaps.

Damn cheaters... I can't stand them. Reminds me of the old Counter-Strike system where players would enter script codes to improve their accuracy.

I can't stand these people.

Great. Now they just need to upgrade their servers so i don't have to wait 10 minutes to get into a match.
