According to reports, many hackers are already taking advantage of the security loophole to mess up the in-game stats and rewards for players. Though it's worth noting this is not necessarily the first time the Call of Duty franchise have been affected by such issues, posters on the Infinity Ward forums seem to suggest that it’s gotten much worse. “This issue is really out of hand. I can't log on without getting de-ranked,” said one user.
Infinity Ward’s creative strategist Robert Bowling addressed this issue on the forum, basically saying that there’s not much they can do unless the security exploit itself is resolved on the platform. They are currently exploring every option available and are encouraging users to report inappropriate players to Sony. Furthermore, the developer indicated that it would begin using additional security measures for its future titles, and "not rely solely on platform security."
We haven’t heard of other games being affected by rampant cheating during multiplayer matches, so maybe pinning all the blame on Sony is a bit premature. Especially considering this has been an issue on all platforms and apparently neither Infinity Ward nor Activision showed much interest in addressing the problem from the start.
If you own a PS3 and have been experiencing any issues with MW2 lately be sure to let us know in the comments.

It really does suck! Plus I think they do it on purpose so people get frustrated and buy a newer game.

Very true, cheaters are nothing new in the PC world, or in any multiplayer gaming really, it's funny how when someone has control of the server the problem can be handled.
I've been PC gaming for well over 9 years and will too stick to it, that and my 360. I love watching my buddy play MW2 and getting all fxcked up by the cheaters, haha go PS3.

I hope the same hacking doesn't happen with Modern Warfare 3 http://mwarfare3.com

I just got de-rank for nothing on the 9th prestige! after i left the lobby it said XBOX 360! SONY do something now or ill shot my F'n system and never buy sony ever again!

I seriously think we should all consider moving to xbox, cause I'm not sure they care enough to fix this. The thought of having to move to xbox is just wrong I know but at least there won't be little pricks that think it's awesome to mess with other peoples games lol

i really hope hackers don't mess with mvc3...
-
I've stopped playing my PS3 due to this problem. The hackers are out of control and I refuse to expose myself to them.
-

-
I feel sorry for these cheaters. I mean they have a high speed connection online, couldn't they download porn a jack off. It's gotta be more fun then getting 75 kills without moving in a game. Must be complete losers.
-
Gone all Gone 16 days of all my work and great fun and some F****ing hackers got it all and you know Infinity and Sony will do nothing for my time I have 5 playstations and it sucks loved the game gone wheres my REFUND HACKER FUDGE BOYS

When you cant even play a nice match with out some kind of cheating or hacking going it becomes just not fun. I don't understand why these hackers/cheater would want to mess up a game where they make everyone not want to play it? Several times now i have been "promoted" to highest rank of my current prestige just in one match. They some how unlock all your items and guns just like that. You might think its fun but when u actual want to PLAY the game and get better at it is very boring. I hope PS3 or MW2 get to work on the issues. They are losing alot of there players due to this. What you think will happen when theres not players on MW2 to play with..... They will go Black Ops and do the same ole ****.
Thank you.

I decided to play MW2 today and it will be the last time. Seriously, every other game I played was hacked. This needs to be resolved. And since Black Ops is the worst COD game, as of yet that lame *** game is not an option for me. Thanks Activision/Treyarch. I would enjoy going one on one with a hacker in real life. If he ever decides to leave mommy and daddy's basement. LOSERS!
-
HACKING LOSERS!! GET A JOB!! Friggin ridiculous is what this is. I paid for this PS 3 and MW 2 why??? And I'm reading that these hackers can't be stopped?! Yeah right. When it affects someone Sony or whoever feels is important enough, or when it REALLY starts affecting their money, it'll be a different story. You ought to be ashamed.
-
Game ruined by sad hacker wankers cheating and making the game pointless.
A really bad advert for Linux dickheads and shows why closed source is sometimes a very good idea.

hackers ruined this game, Activision should stop bathing in their revenue and do some work for once and either fix the problems or stop shot gunning a CoD game every year. I am going to sell my copy today and I had no choice due to lack of support by Activision
-
Hacking parasites. its just pathetic.
A player buys a hack...so that an aim-bot will do the work for him? he isn't even playing...he's just walking around pressing "shoot"...what a load of idiotic FOOLS.
the PS3 gives people joy and happiness with thrills and a rewarding experience...and now these selfish hackers come around and suck the life out of everything and everyone....its just so wrong
-
I had to quite...it sucks, after 25 minutes I could not get into a single lobby without a hacker being there. Never again will i support or buy another game...Black-ops is already starting to get boring.Activision..work with Sony...or your money train will dry up!!!
-
im playin now and i havent been in a hacked game sincethis morning lol either they fixed it or im lucky
-
Just logged on after 4 months of no play?.. I knew something wasn't right, but didn't know wtf was going on until my son informed me of the hacking. Multiplayer is not even playable. Guess I'm forced to play that crappy Black Ops game.
-
a hacker ranked me up 2 preistge 5 rank 70 and i just started the game online
-
I was playing "Modern Warfare 2" the other day and this guy was knifing people from a distance, all he had to do was look at us and knife and then we would die. It took me a while to realize he was hacking. If anyone finds a player by the name of WERE-THE-MONEY I recommend leaving because you won't have a fun game against him.

This has gotten ridiculously out of hand. You can't even join a damn match without being bombarded by hacked texts that cover half the screen. Then your immediately mowed down by some hoe with a lmg and aimbot. I mean seriously, you don't even stand a chance anymore.
