@Intro: I'm pretty sure there were at least two times the number of people who played Modern Warfare 2 than there were those who played Gears of War 2.
Yes, but my point is that there are games that are not hackable due to a simple USB mod/flash/jtag. Those games hardly ever get hacked, if at all. Sure there are other ways to hack them, but it's much harder and makes hacking happen a lot less.
I'm trying to say that I hope Infinity Ward improves their security when it comes to these easy USB mods, etc. There will be a lot less hacking if they do so.
How about when games like Gears of War 1 was in the top 3 most played game on XBL? It was never hacked. Gears 2 was top 5 at one point, it was hacked once and fixed within a month, not getting hacked again. The hack that hit Gears 2 wasn't even possible to do when the game launched, it was a security flaw happened in an update. (I know with my avatar, I'm speaking like a fanboy, but those are just two examples that come to mind. I will admit that game has a huge flaws when it comes to online, but it doesn't get hacked.)
I can agree that more people = more cheating is true to some degree, but I think the hacking is mostly due to Infinity Ward's and Treyarch's fault.
I don't think "hacking" will ever totally be fixed in any online game or online service. So long as there are immature kids with access to computers and the internet, there will be hackers.
True, but it seems to happen a lot less in other online games.
Cause lots more people play the COD games.
I don't think that's the main reason. I think it's because it's so easy. CoD is a game where kids can go and Youtube how to do this within 15 minutes. Other games aren't that easy, if they were, they'd be hacked a lot too.
