You dont have to reply codcanuck on what Im saying.

I dont do the broadcasting my games on youtube like some people but when my girlfriend watches me play I will narrate it for her. 2 months ago I was playing and I said, I have to rank in the top 100 of MW3 players. She replied, I thought you were higher than that.I said, I didnt want to brag or put myself too high.

I probably play the game wrong to some people, but my whole thing is not to get killed. When you get killed, all you do is give the other team points. I try to kill without all the deaths. My goal is not to win as an individual at the end of the game but do good as an individual and win as a team. This is where the game itself is wrong.

1. john doe 27-15

2. me 26-0

Tell me how this guy (john doe) should be in first when the game ends and I obviously helped the team more than he did. The guy with the highest k/d should win as an individual. Like I said, thats where the game is wrong.

Once I had a guy ally me and I accepted. He ask me if I wanted to be in his clan. I declined because I was clanned out at the time.Didnt wont anymore parts of that. Anyway, we still played together a lot til I noticed these guys were cheating. Plus I heard them talking about it on the mic. We played at hardhat once and at the end of the game the guy ask me on the mic, HOW COME YOU DONT EVER GET KILLED? I didnt say anything because my mic wasnt plugged in but he has seen me play enough to know I dont get killed a lot.

Now do I get killed legit, hell yeah. More than getting killed legit, like I said in one of my other post, lag kills me, not the players. A gun that cuts me down a lot real quick is the PP90M1. Where I play that gun cannot level you quick unless its a headshot. I have tried every setting on the pp90m1 and it takes most of the clip to kill someone. This is what I blame on lag. When you use a siliencer on any weapon, thats a good way to actually see/hear lag.

Getting back to what you said about kill/death ratio. Am I good, no doubt, do I rank up there with the best, no doubt and my kill/death ratio tells me so. Every game I play I always look at the broke lobby leaderboards and its extreme rare when I see someone with a higher kill/death ratio than me and mine was low when the board broke.

But...if you yourself have K/Ds over 2, then shouldn't you be a cheater yourself by your own standards? Looks to me like more evidence that you believe that you are better than everyone else and that anyone who beats you cheats.

I am done with this debate. Your lack of logic and consistency is just mind-boggling. Good day.

I think my whole concept of talking about kill/death ratio needs to be clarified some. What I have said pertains to kill/death ratios based on the people I play with. It appears the competition level is different from 1 country to the next. The people I play with rarely have a kill/death ratio over 2.00. Therefore, when I see someone with a kill/death ratio above 2, 3, 4 or more its usually a hacker.

I have 3 profiles on MW3. Ratios range from 2.80 to over 4.00.

Now, if I took my wii to pwnsweet`s house and played, my kill/death ratio probably would double based on the level of competition that he plays with. Then I would protest like you guys do about having a high kill/death ratio without cheating.

the PM-9, AK-47, and AA-12 arent that bad but when they kill you with little bullets then theres a problem

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 07 Nov 2012 04:24:24 GMT

LOL. "Sucky"? Then that means I must be a hacker since I use the "sucky" PM-9, MP5, AK-47, and AA-12

To tell when there is a hacker in your game these are the steps you need to do.......

check the score board hackers usually are at the very top.
locate the hacker and look at his name.
let him kill you once to see his gun....He probly will kill you fast.
kill him
pick up his gun if it has something "sucky" you will know even more.
stay through out the game.
then check out the broken lobby leader board if he is higher than 2.00 get out!!!

Hackers always name themselves such like: I don't hack or hacking is gay.

This is something I saw today that goes back to me saying that most hackers usually have 2 yellow bars when they play. Today I was spectating at Arkaden and the guy I was spectating got shot with1 bullet and got killed. I thought, that aint right with that gun. The guys name that shot him was ( 2badUhack2winchmp ). I looked at his score and he was 6-0 with 1 red bar. I dont know why but most hackers carry 2 yellow bars or a red bar. Go figure.....

I believe it was the ak47. Both kills he got on me was with 2 bullets to my knowledge.

I`ve started noticing that people that has the marajuana plant as their emblem or/and their name is drug related cheats. I`ve noticed this in the past 2 weeks now and actually showed someone while I was playing that it was true and they agreed.

I play against a guy yesterday morning at mission. He had the marajuana emblem and his name was( MR DOPE~Hunter ), something like that. I said well, I`ll play against this guy and see if he cheats or not. The game started and this guy runs right in the middle of the map and starts killing. When he was shooting the third guy I started shooting at him from a distance with an assault rifle/silencer. Every 5 bullets I had 1 hit marker...lol..I hit him 3 times and he turned right at me and fired, killing me easy and I was half way across the map with a silencer on. So, him killing me made the 4th guy on my team he killed and my teammate was near me and he killed him also. This guy killed my whole team in half a minute and I respawned with a teammate and the same guy shoot him as soon as he started running and he shoot at me but I got behind some cover and I eased back out looking down my sights but he shoot me through the car and killed me with 2 bullets I think.

So, he killed 7 of us in less than a minute and no one on either team had killed anybody at this point. I left after that. I done seen all I need to see. I didnt trust this guy before the game started and I gave him a chance to prove to me he wasnt a cheater and sure enough he was.

You think that's bad? I had a game today where the ENTIRE enemy team was made up of non-prestiges while everyone on my team was prestiges. I felt so bad for the other team

My tips:

1. In game or in the lobby, check their name. If they have strange symbols/letters or they have the hack that changes their names from one to another, chances are, they have more hacks.

2. If you recognize them from a previous match or if they're in a hacker clan.

3. If their name says anything about hacking/mods/cheats. (Sometimes)

4. Changing the map during the lobby.

5. Say anything about hacking via mic.

6. Obvious in game hacks:
    - Predator Missle
    - Ability to shoot through walls
    - Ability to fly/ jump really high (they're probably pre-equipped w/ Dead Silence Pro)
    - Teleportation Hack (everyone spawns if front of someone, usually to and controlled by    the hacker
    - Infinite Ammo
    - Red Box or Infinite UAV Hack (make sure you're sure you have Assasin Perk and all weapons have silencer and that they can't tell by the sound of your footsteps or shooting or if they know you killed one of his teammates)
    - You look at scoreboard and see them at top if you think you encounter some of these hacks.
    - Tons of points per kill/assist/objective compeletion (ie. bomb plant, flag capture, etc.)

Suggestions to IW/Treyarch if they coincidentally see my post:

- Make a REPORT LOBBY or PLAYER button and hire some people so they can spectate a reported lobby or player to ban them
- Make a site that lists the hackers' current and/or previous name(s) with what hacks they have

Some good hacks:

- Infected (or any other modes IW didn't put on wii) private lobbies

Non-hacker related suggestions to IW/Treyarch:

- Please be considerate of Wii Commmunity and make BO2 not only for Wii U but for us regular folks too (that can't afford to buy a new console)

- Put on those modes you didn't put on before

- Make Wii maps similar to XBOX/PS3/PC maps (no need to worry about lighting/color, just the same size/shape of objects)

- Try to make more than 5 players per team (at least 6, it gets just a LITTLE lonely with 4 teammates and 5 enemies)

- Not to be selfish or anything, but at least put on extra map packs for wii as well. No need to release them as early as the other consoles, but I'd be okay with waiting 2-3 extra months for 2-3 extra maps. Besides, you guys have been a bit cruel to Wii since you almost never update it and eliminate hackers, so how about you make the release of map packs to wii for free (you could release the free ones 1-2 weeks later though, I'm just trying to balance Wii Community's satisfaction to IW's/Treyarch's hard work).

That is all.

The only hack that is good is the destroy all hacked wii's hack.

I've been away from this game several months and when I came back hacking seems even worse. Some guys constantly call in Choppers, Pavelow and AH-6. Has that hack been around for long? One guy do that, and I guess lots of often cheat every time I ran into him.

With fair players the COD games are so much fun, but all cheaters around make me so angry.
