Player color name hack...Game breaking!!!

Last night I was playing with a guy that was able to change his whole nametag color. This made him look like he was on your team but really he was on the other team. Anyone else seen this yet? I reported him and I will post a video when I get home.
I saw the exact same thing! I kept shooting at him by accident. It was sooo annoying! Not to mention, it isn't fair.
Hahah I just posted the same thing a few seconds ago.
Now that you put it this way, it sounds more like a glitch where as I thought it might have been intended for players who prestiged
However the people I have seen using it have always been the opposite colour - orange if on my team and blue if on other team. Keeping in mind that I use colourblind assist it should be the other way around.
i just sent a tweet to 402 and activision support on it.
bumping because its game breaking....

Game breaking might be a touch extreme...
... just report them for exploiting and move on.
So, you don't think being able to tell who is on your team and who is not doesn't qualify as game breaking?
well i know that one of the perks aloows you to not have your name show up or to have red cross hairs when you are targeted... maybe that is it?
Its not this, because the perk only works on enemies. As in if I were to look at an enemy using the perk they would not show a name at all.
Using this glitch, the enemy will have friendly colours and any friendly will have enemy colours - which has resulted in far to many wasted clips.
This is not a glitch, its a perk !
Its called, Friend of My Enemy ...
Standard version: Makes enemies see your name as friendly rather than enemy.
Pro version: Makes people enter Call of Duty Forums and complain about it being a glitch/hack/not being fair ... ![]()
LOL, jokes guys!!! Seriously, I'm just having fun ok. But yeah it does sound quite annoying.
This was not a perk. I talked to the guy doing it. He was able to change his color from green to blue to whatever color he wanted. He change his color so he appeared to be part of the other team's party.
bump
It's going from bad to worse, clan tags and now this. That was very funny South Auckland, like it.
Thanks for the video M14john, I forgot to go back and get mine.
it hurts every time i watch
. thought i was the only one to get duped.
Boy he sure doesn't mind admitting it either with that gamertag. Unreal!
it's the game creaters
it's the game creaters
Wow, how ****** up is that! Bloody annoying that as soon as a game comes out people have to find a way to cheat.
I think I can see how it's done but not helping any kiddies on here to figure it out!
Saw someone with a purple name in a lobby, didn't even bother playing them, reported and left lobby. There's a key to getting these people banned, report in the game and through their gamercard.
It also helps in the short term to avoid them.
@M14john - just sent your video to 402 and activision support this morning.
ok, nice one ![]()
That's really cheap.
I am glad I pay attention to uniforms on faction sides, too. He can't glitch that.
Will destroy hardcore
Like AEon said, just report them and move on and avoid these players as much as you can. The bans are definitely going out. There are a lot of threads in the XBL forums about people complaining they were banned. It's always nice to see that report button working.
Its nice to know I am not totally crazy. I have seen this a few times in the past but wrote it off. Glad to know I was right. Hope they get this fixed (but will not hold my breath).
Change your tag display to the color blind option?
hex edit over usb = security fail....
Tweeted by activision support, might be related but not sure
Yellow clan tags are not hacks. Means they're in a clan through ELITE. The ELITE clan tag shows up like this. http://twitpic.com/7hztdf
did you even read my post or watch the video? Its not the elite clan tag.
Sorry Ghorman, i missed the clip before i posted the reply.. so was just throwing it up there as a possibility not an actualk cause..
Since i watched the clip i have tweted the issue to ACTIMikey at activision
Its cool. I just don't want this to get side tracked with people saying its not an issue. IMO its a major issue because you need to be able to tell who is on your team and who is not.
Fully agree.. it also shows all those guys that said the clantag wasnt an issue... we all said it was only a start of worse to come... if people will do 1 glitch they will try them all!!
I thought I was seeing things. I have seen this also today. The guy said all his friends are doing it. I said he should be banned and he got a attitude and proceeded to be an ass. They should send a update where they discuss the different forms of hacking and cheating and have them agree to it. After that just have 0 tolorance and banned them from the game. More people need to not just blow it off and report these people. It sucks to have to report people everyday, but the greater good is that it might not get rid of all of them but at least its a start.
Has anyone seen anything addressing this?
This is gamebreaking - this will kill Hardcore.
OK, so this has happend THREE fu$£in times now on my team.
my advice is report them, then pick a unsilenced weapon and let of some shots to give there position away and ruin there game.![]()
