MW3 Hacks Limited to Private Match Players Stats "Have been backed up"

4.3
It was bound to happen eventually. Despite Infinity Ward doing everything they could to keep hackers out of Modern Warfare 3 (even going so far as to fly out some of the hackers themselves to consult on how to stop them), the game has now been hacked.

You can see the results of some of these hacks in the videos below. The videos include users on the Xbox 360 using hacks such as walking AC-130′s, infinite ammo, superspeed, and general all-around God-mode Apparently, according to a developer on the official Call of Duty forums, lobbies which were modded to decrease players’ ranks were initially made to be public before developers caught on. “A modding group created a viral mod, which we prevented from spreading within twelve hours yesterday,” according to an IW developer. He added, “sadly, in ‘protest’ at our ability to disable this they are now inviting player’s to private matches where they reset their stats.” Good news that it has been contained and removed from public lobbies, but the threat still lives in private ones. It is stressed that MW3 players should “avoid friend invites from ANYONE not on your friend list.”

Luckily, IW developers have stated that they ”are working actively on fixing this issue and also backing up player stats so that [they] can reset those affected by this malicious behavior.” So to clarify, those worried about their stats having been recently affected, developers state that “they will have been backed up” and that they “put this system in place the moment [they] learned of this group’s activity.”

Ecko's just jealous he didn't get his hands on it sooner.

Also, who gives a crap, it's IW. We all know that in a couple months they'll give up the after care of MW3 and it'll become a glitch/mod/hack fest.

There are much better games out there than MW3 anyway.

I won't even play it any more as soon as Counterstrike comes out.

What They should do is a Modded community for modders in private match.. its fun with out the deranging part.. At least let the modders have some fun on the modded community, so they don't destroy the online matches.... I use to play COD 4 on my pc and they had a community for mods their.. they should have that on consoles gaming.. Hey maybe for the future IW & other gaming companies should higher modders , so they can add stuff for future games... Im not a modder but i love playing with it on old games. Its Fun.... But this is just an Idea for the Future..

Why can't IW do as good as 3arch did with keeping the modded lobby's away!! Like FORREALL! Blackops didn't really have any mods for atleast a year, and it still really doesn't! All they had was the glitchs nothing was really modifications to the game!

Come in IW didn't you learn for CoD4 and MW2! Step it up!

T0xic8ear maybe if the hackers would limit them selves to only Challenge lobbys and not walking AC-130's or Aimbot lobbys then I would have no problem with it.


I guess in the end no game is safe from hackers even as much as they patch it.

Halo would like a word with you.

In my opinion it is MW3 I do not really care. More people play Black Ops anyway.
