So I was checking the global score and kills leaderboards to see where I stood and decided to jump to the top of the list to see who was number. Apparently it's a guy is level 1 and who's gamertag is "I mod games", I mean, what the fuck Infinity Ward? Do they even check this shit? Upon further investigation it's totally obvious just from their gamertags that many of the people in the top ten are modders.
     I love Modern Warfare 2 and all, but for a developer who wouldn't let us have party in chat in most playlists because they said it gave people an "unfair advantage", they sure don't seem to give as much of a shit about cheaters as they let on.

Well of course they do......they just don't give a shit

" Well of course they do......they just don't give a shit "

No stopping modders.  Get a gamertag ban and all people have to do is make another one.  Also, Microsoft needs to hold responsibility for cracking down on hackers as much as Infinity Ward.  Their current claim of having a "secure, closed network" is complete shit.

I don't even see why they put a leaderboard into their games.

You have to scroll down quite aways before you get to any legit stats.

This is Microsoft's/Sony's problem, not Infinity Ward's. 
 
Unless we're talking about the PC, but I doubt Infinity Ward could feasibly stop cheating on that platform.

For the record, this is not Infinity Ward's problem, nor is it Infinity Ward's fault. The company make games, and those games are governed by the bodies that control their online network. For Xbox LIVE, that body is Microsoft. For PSN, that is Sony. And for PC, it is Steam and their VAC system. The game was incredibly popular and that alone increases the odds of modding scum playing the game. Considering the huge influx of modders on consoles a few months before release, odds are more people began to join in, because hey "He didn't get banned and therefore I won't either". Unfortunately the only way around this is to file a complaint on the problem. Yeah, this system is outdated but they do check up on reports so it is still a working system. 

As fucked as MW2's leaderboards are, the same could be said for nearly every game.

They are to busy swimming in their pool of money.

yeah, sometimes. i think they are working on fixing it but very slowly. i find it funny when i look at the leader boards. sometimes people have like 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 kill streak lol.

This seems to encapsulate their attitude towards the game as a whole quite well. "

Quoted for truth.  They just like to roll around in all of the money they make, I think Bungie is the example for how a console developer should treat their community and fanbase with at least some respect. "
