According to this article i found over at 1up.com there is already hacks made available for MW2. It is still unknown if it is legit or not as the site is apparently selling them but judging from the video it looks like it might be true. 
  
 
If this is true so much for IWNET's anti-cheat system and Activisions reassurance that things like this wont happen with their new system i guess. If only there was some way there could be someone or something there to kick or ban people who are cheating. Like some kind of person or thing to moderate on a per server bases,someone who could be there in person to deal with these things as hackers come up with new workarounds to anti-cheat systems. Perhaps a group of people with special privileges who could take turns to always be around to moderate a server to keep it free of cheaters, like a mod or something. Nah that is just silly who would want something like that?

You mean like...with dedicated servers and...actual Admin's? No way! Now why would Activision want to ensure a great multiplayer experience for their latest flagship game...

meh, that stuff comes and goes.  The game can be kept up to date to fend off the hacks, and those who use the hack will be banned and required to buy another copy of the game to play again, so it slowly settles down in the end.  and by the way it is pathetic how far people will go just to be "good" at a popular game.

The thing is if a server admin / mod can detect cheating, so can VAC.  If it's just going to be a matter of 'that guy is playing too good', it turns into a witch hunt.  I am surprised that the game got cheaters so fast, I guess it's impossible to avoid in PC gaming these days, and my choice of 360 version seems better than ever.

Damn PC players love to get their pointless-vendetta on. I bet people are working some long hours to 'prove a point'.

You may not have hackers in the 360 version but you have to deal with modded controllers which is just as bad.

Not quite as bad but bad enough.  I'd be more worried about people with an effective mouse+KB mod than one of those reload modded controllers.

not just PC players.  Cheaters try their luck on all gaming systems.

I think its ironically hilarious that you are happily cheering on a group of people that basically caused Activision to fuck you over. Stop supporting hackers "proving a point" when all they are doing is proving a point as to how big of a deal anti-piracy measures need to be. So yes, this is why I happily bought this game for the 360 when i have a perfectly capable computer to run the game; in an effort to "prove" a fucking "point" these hackers are ruining the fun that you WOULD be having if you didnt spend all your time bitching about special benefits you feel you should have.

Hahaha, so predictable.  Anybody remember when that dude hacked Battlefield 2 server-side and unlocked everything for about 5 million accounts?  Could happen.

This has nothing to do with "anti-piracy". You have to buy the game to play it online. The only thing this is proving is how unsecure the game is at this point in time. 
 
Also hackers didn't "cause Activision to fuck over PC gamers", IWNET wasn't made for that purpose. IWNET was made to CHARGE US FOR DLC among other things that they now have control over. VAC is already there to prevent cheaters.

agreed. 
 
Blaming the hackers is easy picking. 
 
Blame the profit rise they want!
