If you have recently played Call of Duty 4 or Modern Warfare 2, you
might have run into many hacked lobbies. Infinity Ward is now addressing
the issue.
Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling on a recent One of Swords podcast, shed
some light on the hacks and exploits in MW2 and CoD 4. In response to a
question on if Infinity Ward is working patches for the aforementioned
games, Robert said:
"We (Infinity Ward) are (addressing the hacks and exploits). We are not
looking at rebalancing things, so you're not going to see OMA (One Man
Army) being removed from MW2, although it is removed from MW3. But,
we're looking at things, like security things of like how can we address
hacking on Call of Duty 4? And, we've been already doing updates on MW2
to address hacking, and basically once we get MW2 on lockdown, then the
guys who have the ability to focus on even further legacy things, (such
as) how can we lockdown things on CoD 4. Actually, we just did on PC a
Linux patch."
He went to explain that Infinity Ward's primary focus is, obviously,
Modern Warfare 3, then MW2 and CoD 4 (respectively).
