The ‘glitch-filled mess’ of Modern Warfare 2
In the latest issue of Game Informer (#204), Matt Bertz wrote an opinion piece called “A Changing Battlefield” regarding the rampant cheating found in games such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. From the article:
The old reactionary model of addressing bugs incrementally via patches and title updates no longer suffices for this large a community. When a game is under constant duress like Modern Warfare 2, maybe it’s time to hire a full-time staff trained in policing hackers, stomping out bugs, scrubbing leaderboards to eliminate the cheaters, and refining gameplay balance.

i couldn’t agree with you more,unfortunately no one at infinity ward is agknowledging the thousands of posts ,infact 402 hasn’t visited the pc sub forum in over a month,since launch i can count on both hands the interaction with 402,if you twitter 402 our questions get responded to maybe 1% of the time ,if you contact activision you get refered to Infinity Ward Forums.
In the last 24 hours i have played 4 games 7 aimbots and to be honest an unknowen quantity of wallhacks .
Hackers are actually travelling in packs now in one game last night a team of four operating under a clan tag with no vote kick /admins-dedicated servers this game is a fun park for these muppets.
if this is the future of activisions COD Series for PC then after 2000hours ,i’m never buying any of there products again!
And i will spend a large amount of time until medal of honour is released making as many gamers aware that the only way to stop this kind of omnipotent command/control of our gaming experience is to Stop filling Bobby K’s pockets and boycotting all activision products.
Anyway as you can see i more than slightly miffed topped off with the extreme latiency that p2p provides with iw.net and i think your find that a new market is opening for developers such as Dice who listen and act upon feedback from the pc community.
