Call of Duty: World at War Xbox Live Multiplayer Experience

I have recently spoken to an agent over the telephone regarding this issue, and I was advised to post into this forum to receive an answer.  I have recently purchased the map pack bundle for Call of Duty: World at War.  This was specifically to play CoD: WaW with Xbox Live multiplayer.

For the past two weeks, the online gameplay (and therefore the multiplayer map pack) is completely useless.  I am receiving in-game messages offering everything from "Free Infections" to people advertising canadian pharmacies and the large discounts a person can receive for ED prescriptions.  I do not have children in my household, but if I did I would be very concerned due this alone, especially the linking to external websites.

As the agent on the telephone said that there is "nothing they can do", including offering a refund as I am no longer interested in having a horrible gameplay experience.   I am posting this here to ensure I followup with the directions I received from this agent.

At this point in time, as a paying customer of both the Xbox Live service, and the map pack bundle for CoD: WaW, I would like to know what is or can occur to remedy my disgust so far with this experience.  When checking the specific Call of Duty: World at War game forum (http://forums.xbox.com/xbox_forums/xbox_360_games/a_d/codwaw/f/383.aspx) you will see many users who have posted about this issue.  If the Xbox Live service continues to advertise and offer for payable download, these multiplayer map packs, I feel that this issue needs to be addressed formally from the Xbox Live team.

The map packs are still playable hence why they're still up for download. Until such time as Treyarch/Activision decide to patch and police WaW properly then the online experience is always going to be a bit like Russian Roulette and there's nothing MS can do apart from banning the people doing the hacking.

I agree with the above, But as Call of Duty: Black Ops is out and they may be working on a new game (Unconfirmed) it is unlikely that they will police the WaW Servers anytime soon, But with all this said i believe you will ALWAYS have access to play the Map Packs.

If you ever have any issues playing any of the Map Packs please post here on the forum's and i'm sure someone will assist you further.

All you can do is back out of the lobby straight away and then go to recent players and file a complaint on the gamertags that are moddong. Xbox live can investigate and ban them permanently if they are found to be modding, as for the game itself Activision are responsible for multiplayer servers so they have to do the patch, but considering it's an old game don't hold your breath as this issue has been prominent for more then a year. WAW is my favourite of the call of duty franchise but i have not played it online for about 7 months as you can't find a clean game, such a pity and a waste of money as well.

Well unfortunately the game might never get a title update considering it's a old game that's pretty much dead besides the modders and tu's cost money and resources to be released.
