Treyarch's multiplayer director bristles when discussing how the studio will treat glitchers and exploiters.
Call of Duty, if you didn't know, is popular. So is Call of Duty: Black Ops. Last night, 2.9 million dudes (and dudettes) were online in the Xbox 360 version alone. With this kind of massive draw, it's no surprise that some glitches and exploits have been discovered and reported. And while developer Treyarch could simply opt to ride the wave of these initial reports before speaking to these discoveries, it isn't. On the game's official message board, multiplayer director David Vonderhaar has been saying some headline-worthy words of warning to those who are currently abusing the game and its systems.
"What many of these people want is to be Internet nerd famous," Vonderhaar wrote, according to 1UP. "I'm not going to make them famous and you shouldn't either ... "
"Given the opportunity, I'd personally wield the ban hammer for anyone who thinks he is clever by abusing any glitches. Good thing I don't have the opportunity that often and we actually have a constructive, measured, and well-managed live ops team," he said.
"We said we would support the game. We are going to support it," Vonderhaar continued. "We are disinterested in making mini-celebrities out of douche-bags. You better think twice before you glitch. You never know who in your game doesn't like glitchers who reports you and saves the game in their File Share and tells us about it."
Wow. Hey, guys, don't cheat in Black Ops. If you do, Vonderhaar sounds like he's on the verge of paying you a personal visit of the least pleasant variety. But, in all seriousness, you might want to keep it clean. It sounds like Treyarch has its hands over the Ban Button. Plus, you don't want to be that guy. You know, the guy that launches himself at another person just to blow himself up with a Javelin? That guy.
" "Stop breathing. " You should get banned for telling someone to kill themselves. Also is that supposed to be some sort of insult? He is right , if you buy the game and pay the fees, you should have the right to play the game however you want it. If the developers dont fix glitches and exploits, its them failing as developers, not the gamers. If its in the game, its meant to be used, until the developers take it out or fix it. Its the same thing with dolphin diving, that could be considered an exploit or abusing ingame mechanics. I dont know why i wrote such a long response to such a complete and total retard who goes around telling people to kill themselves. You dont deserve the time of day and here i am replying to you. "
That type of situation only exists in a vacuum. No game, especially a multiplayer-heavy one like Black Ops, will EVER be glitch-free. Also, from a developer's standpoint, these glitches are oftentimes VERY hard to fix and could take months just figuring out where to start to fix them.
Mind you, the game has only been out a couple of days so far and I'm sure Treyarch is working on any glitches people are exploiting right now. It's just that while they are patching it up, they expect the players to take responsibility and play the game the way it was meant to be played.
Just because you paid 60 fucking dollars doesn't give you the right to ruin a game where a countless number of people put their blood, sweat, and tears into. Your logic is just a pathetic excuse to glitch and exploit the game for your own selfish reasons.
" Think twice before exploiting the floating apple glitch! "
made me laugh.
i don't think he is going to do anything. he might do something for like a couple of months but once the game goes down in sales they aren't going to do anything. after the second map pack infinity ward didn't pay attention to mw2. the game needed some patches.

You never know...this guy could be a real hardass in the long run.
