Well, to be quite frank, I don't really from which angle to attack this subject from. I mean, there is so much wrong right now about an award-winning game, it's actually somewhat beyond my belief that developers of the game and Xbox can sit back and watch the game be torn apart?
Ever since I purchased COD4, day in, day out, I have been faced with hacked lobbies. I would go as far enough to say that near enough 19 our of the 20 lobbies I am put in each day are hacked someway or another. I have people flying above and below me, spamming noobtubes, crashing the game, accessing god modes, infinite bullets and even managing to hack the points system for the whole lobby so that everyone receives like 4000 points for a single kill?! These lobbies that hack such things may portray images to XBL and other sources that innocent players, like myself, who just want to play a fair game, are hacking and might well be possibly banned for it! I mean, c'mon, seriously? It's outrageous. What kind of award-winning game is this? Did it win best comedy-do-whatever you-want game of the year award? Because right now that's what it looks like to me and several other thousand players...
I payed £20 for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and right now, that's not what I'm playing. I think you'd agree that in the game description before you buy the game it doesn't say 'G£T ur frEEZ HAKED lobb13Z 4 1200 MS just MeSSsAGE ME' or say anything about a flying perk? Although, if it did, I truly am sorry, I must of completely missed it.....
I heard a possible 'rumor' floating about which suggested a patch was going to be released to stop these hackers from destroying COD4 and quite possibly put an end to hackers full stop. Right about now, I'd go with the fact to say it was just a rumor, because since it was announced by a developer about 1-2 months ago, nothing has changed. People might say I'm flaming, I disagree, I'm making what is a very much needed thread to stress the anger of certain innocent individuals within the COD4 community who wish to play the game as it was created. I understand that XBL keep stressing that they can't do anything about it? Are you joking? You are Microsoft, possibly one of the biggest and more famous technologically advanced gaming industries in the world today, the game has been created and release for Xbox and is being played on a console on which Xbox created. I don't want to be hearing that Xbox can't do anything about it. I understand that a game must go through verification and testing by Microsoft before it can be released on Xbox, so please explain why you have allowed what is happening now on COD4 to happen? Did you verify hackers and hacked lobbies? I think not...
I would just like to see a bit more help and support from Xbox to push developers from COD4 to fix the game, especially if they 'apparently' can't do anything about it. The community payed for a console and game which was registered to Xbox and Microsoft, we expect your to take charge and fix the bloody game.
Response from an XBL representative would be appreciated.
