"Proof" that most hackers/glitchers are US teens

I live on the west coast in the United States. One day last week, I played most of the day when all the kiddies were in school. All morning through early afternoon, I don't think I suspected a single hacker or glitcher. Around 1pm, I started to notice a few. The east coast is 3 hours ahead of me, so I can only assume that the kiddies were playing when they got home from school. As the day went on and more US kiddies got home, the hackers & glitchers were coming out of the woodwork.
When I play later at night (8-11pm) when most of the kiddies are in bed... guess what... rarely a hacker or glitcher. Early Saturday & Sunday mornings (6-8am) are usually pretty clean, but once the kiddies across the US start waking their sleepy heads... guess what happens. Friday & Saturday evenings & nights when all the US kiddies are having their parties and sleepovers... definitly the most annoying times to play. Lately, I've been trying not to play too much on Friday & Saturday nights... go to bed early so I can get up early and have soon good clean honest fun.

generalizations
no just because teens are young doesnt mean their gunna hack ok... im legit 1.79 kd and im not hack... plus now a dayss people dont have sleepovers to play the wii... just sayin
and I greatly appreciate your legitedness (I think I just made up a word). We all know most are legit players. I'm just saying that I suspect the few that do are more likley to be teens, and this is just based on my experince since Reflex.
ok
I find it very hard to believe. I mean its not as if the U.S is corrupt or anything is it. The U.S has to be one of the most friendly non racist countries in the world too. And talking of the world, the U.S would never dream of trying to rule it would they. I can't imagine all those american parents letting their children do that stuff.. ![]()
Doesn't surprise me. Being an American teen (that doesn't hack), I know the culture fairly well. Its a constant competition, even in video games. If a kid feels he can't win elsewhere, he resorts to cheating online. Makes sense in theory.
im sorry pauly but the us is faaaaarrrrrrr from not being racist..... its very racist and bias in the us
Pauly was being EXTREMELY sarcastic.
Another thing I noticed about americans is that they are EXTREMELY sensitive. I don't want to bring up any flame wars upon the forums, but if you even say anything about a certain date, you will have a mob of americans hunting your as*, but no one cares when you mention american-caused massacres.
Well i;m sure you know what you're talking about, but I wasn't being overly serious. But there is a bit of a joke running here in the UK that says, the american economy is so bad that it made americans forget how to be racist. Refering to voting for a black president. But sadly, there's racism here in the UK too, and it does start at home. Education is the key word..
That's a joke?
I'll never understand British humor.

ohhh ok but yea racisim is everywhere
I'm in the south and I can assure people there is racism. Most of the racist people are in the older generation such as my dad. I don't agree with his views though.

We're not much better. We have a very dodgy past. There's signs that it isn't getting any better either.
They don't have to be from the US
they could be from other parts of America, I really don't notice when someone is hacking except I am flying or someone got a MOAB and the game just started, when I get beat like 12-30 or something crazy and they weren't using akimbo fmg9 I assume they are hacking, because I am not that bad player to do that specially in TDM might do that bad if I am jumping to objectives or if I am lagging a lot do but I don't call them hackers I just finish the game might say good game and quit you are just making them happy when you rage to them...
I have to say that I much prefer playing in European lobbies but due to shift work sometimes I find myself playing through the night in mostly American lobbies, I hate to say it bit there is definitely an increase in hackers and the like. I'd like to think it's just because the youtube/modder scene is bigger over there or it's just a numbers thing but I admit I notice a different attitude to the game in general.
Well, with most of the sales of MW3 (and most likely all of the COD games) being predominantly sold in the US, it's not surprising that the majority of the cheaters/hackers will be located in the US. Although, my first hacker encounter in BO that I remember was somebody from [QC] in Quebec and many other hackers in both BO and MW3 speaking different languages.
Cheating. Racists. Corruption. Arrogence. etc. All found in all countries.
I don't know. I still run into plenty of hackers when I play during the day. They are definitely in the U.S., but I don't know about the age group. Still could be teens. Probably college kids. Or high school drop outs.
Hackers are mostly Americans, based on timezones and to my personal xp.
Euro hackers are pretty rare, compared to Americans though
There are definitely hackers from the UK. Some of them are from a clan called UK. One in particular, is UK sneeze. He used to belong to the very good and respected cc clan, which I think either disbanded or moved to the PS3. Sneeze approached the OFC and actually asked us where we stood on hacking. (idiot) He used to run around the maps with infanite health and you could not kill him. We would always leave a lobby when we saw him, there was no point in getting into a match with him. However, after the patch, we saw him in a lobby, but this time we stayed, and sure enough, there he was sitting in dark corners camping his ass off, and getting killed. He left the game after only a few minutes. That was one of the greatest satisfactions I had since this games release. Which just goes to show. If you can't play the game, or can't be bothered to take the time to get good at it, or even learn how to take a loss, what is the point of playing it in the first place. They have no sense of accomplishment, so how can you feel good about yourself.
I must also stress, I know other players from the UK that have UK in their IGN, but have nothing to do with the clan. Its simply because they are from the UK..
I got accused of hacking by a UK guy. Some people can't accept that they are not the best players in the world.

You should hear a fella called Britts smackhead. Everytime he lost to us, every excuse under the sun flowed from his big mouth, accusing me of hacking, camping, everything. I caught him camping in the fuel truck on outpost before they got patched. He was on my team (hctdm) but I just stood there emptying clips into the truck trying to kill him. He shot me instead. Everytime I went back, he shot me again until he got the penalty death, which got him out of the truck. I waited for him and sure enough he kept coming back and killing me. This went on for the whole game. At the end of the game his friend asked him why he kept tk'ing me, his reply was I was in his space, and he wasn't oing to allow me to take it. He couldn't even admit to his friend he was cheating. More excuses came after that. He sucks at the game, I think he's now also in the UK clan, but with a different name..
Yeah I know, cool story bro.. ![]()
Um wow. lol This guy wasn't hacking. I don't know if he was in the clan. I was referring to him as British when I said UK. Though he did have UK in his name but at the end instead of the classic clan tag. Just cracked me up hearing him call me a hacker with his british accent. "He's a lil hacker there that one."
I'm glad that you find one of our accents entertaining, considering that the only reason the British exist is to provide you with some amusement.
How about showing us an american dollar, and we will do a little dance for you?
Or you could spread those big american dollars around, and have others join in the fun:
"Zut alors! Hee eez a filthee 'ackeur!"
"Maybe itsa justa me, but thata boya isa cheating"
"Vot iz zis? Ein hacker! Quickly, vee must flee!"

It doesnt matter if they are from USA, or UK, or China, or Rusia, or Iran, or Colombia or the Falklands. Hackers are hackers, and they should be eliminated.
Mason kravchenko steiner dragovich, all most die, and dont forget the hacker *****'s mason! lol
normally it's MEX or PR that i run into. we all probably see different ones though
yea mex is a bunch of bs real talk
amen to that. the so called MEX clan is just a bunch of teen mex dudes (and sometimes with a girl) that just ditch school and stuff.
good thing you put proof in quotation marks
I play online all the time and see some shenanigans going on, but I think it's mostly the connection time with the server. That's my philosophy.
I always tell the guys who SCREAM in the mic, he's doing this or that! He just slid halfway throught the wall and came out the other side man! He's glitching. "No bro, that's lag, not a glitch, it's lag." I say calmly. Then...when all these guys do is ***** and moan about it, I back out and go offline, back out the party and go play HXKC solo.
Nice generalization on the youth in America today. Some 12 year old MENSA student who will graduate HS this year and be out of MIT in four years will probably be the Doogie Howser you're going to need when you're old and crusty. Just saying....
Not surprised at all to the obvious hacking that goes on. Been playing video games since the Atari and Nintendo days and I can always remember people finding ways to get that unfair advantage. Remember the game genie and a subsciption to Nintendo Power. Infinete lives on Contra and running under levels in Mario Bros. I admit, when games got old and boring, I was typing in a code or reading the latest cheat and strategy magazine. I do agree though that most of that goes on within the teen age group. Its a last resort for them to compete and to have fun at true players expense. But do we blame them or it beeing possible at all. I mean, they are just kids. It is a pain but its not going to stop if its availalbe to them. So hopefully Sony and its FREE online play can get it together for us honest players.
