20th Prestige with a wallhack

Well, it's finally happened. Last night, I saw my first, no questions about it, easily able to prove, hacker in MW3. I've PM'd the info to Ban Candy, but I want to show it here too, in hopes that this game doesn't end up the way MW2 did. The first thing I want to say to the admins here, I do not feel this is naming and shaming, not because I'm not actually mentioning the name, I'm only posting screenshots, but simply because it's not a real account! It's an account that isn't even gold!
During a FFA game on Carbon a Gentleman came in with a phony gamertag (combined the name of a popular clan with the name of XBLPET Stepto and an IW clan tag). He showed 20th prestige Level 1. When you looked at his Elite account it showed 15th/L80 with 1 hour played! (screenshots are below).
As if all of that wasn't bad enough, he had a wallhack and/or aimbot. No, this is not a lag issue, nor a witch hunt, this is 100% accurate! He was fully lining people through walls, even from one elevation level though another. Rather than render the video giving a singular point of view, I uploaded it to my online vault so Ban Candy can manuever the camera/view how she pleases. But if you guys really want to see it, I can render some clips. All you really have to do is look at the screenshots below and his record on Elite from last night and it's glaringly obvious!
I truly hope this is not a start of an outbreak like MW2 had. Of course, the biggest concern is that clearly this wouldn't have been a real account so how can they go about banning it? An IP ban probably wouldn't do any good. Maybe a console ban, but is this a new way to get a JTag online? I really truly hope this is an isolated incident!!!
Please send it to bancandy and report them via the xbl system
Um, I already did. I said that in my third sentence. ![]()
It's not that hacks are impossible in MW3 on consoles, things like this do happen sometimes; it's just that he won't last five minutes due to the anti cheat system 3arc created for Blops and this game.
The problem in the coding will now be found by said system and changed so this particular cheat/glitch/hack won't happen again, and he will be banned (and reset obviously
)
Well done on sending the info to bancandy, going above and beyond what you need to do.
And that's my hope dstr. I want it squashed BEFORE it becomes an epidemic. Before he's on TTG and 7s and "selling" his mods.
Looking at his Elite card from last night, the game I was in was only his 3rd game. In total as of this morning he managed to play 34 games last night. That's a far time longer than any of the previous JTags were able to stay online and longer than the 60 minutes for .gpd and XUID mods were able to go for in BLOPS. It seems to me he was "phishing" to see how long it would go, or what flagged it as he played at least one game of almost every game type in core, with scores like 66-0 and 44-1.
Trust me, if it was a full proof way to hack the game, it would be on those sites already; they are the ones that fund this kind of crap.
Why do I have this gut feeling though, that this isn't to do with the game itself, and more to do with hacking ELiTE? The more i think the more i realise that 20th isn't in the game yet, it's only within ELiTE......
If it's the same basic files uploaded in the TU on the consoles as it was on PC, the icons are in there already. Plus I would think if it was on the Elite side, it would've said 20th in his card, not 15th. Plus, it was most definitely a wallhack at the least. He would be downstairs in the 2nd level firing at people in the top of the building (with no windows) and down to the lower level through the blue tarps (not standing looking through the holes either). Send me a FR on XBL and you can check it out in my vault. GT is my forum name.
20th prestige came in the files on the MW3 disk. It was built into the game, but IW has to "unlock" those files before legit players can access it.
Looking at this guy's Elite something is definitely up. He has a different gamertag in every game he plays. Amazing how bad people are.
It's funny you mentioned that deuce. I never went back to the later games, but it appears in DZ, he had a "buddy" doing the same thing. Here's one of the games:
And here's what that 2nd tag goes to when you click on it:
I just saw that myself. I sent ban candy a message on XBL. She is very quick with the bannings.
But.. it is the weekend, so I think she won't be back till monday.
Thanks. I know she's backed up, I have a few other messages waiting already. The problem is, WHAT or WHOM do you ban? Like I said, they can change GT's at will so it's gonna be quite difficult depending on how exactly they are doing the whole thing.
Well, I can't post their GT's here... But I am sure BC can get it handled. Also, I am considering contacting XBox live support regarding these obvious hackers.
It's funny, on one of their XBox.com profiles, their motto is "Overdosed on bannings." lol.
So they aren't new to the game.
We'll get 'em. ![]()
Just checked both the 7S and TTG forums (I pretend to be interested to keep an eye on them lol), it's either being kept VERY quiet, or this is, as I said, just one of those 5 min attempts that only gets the hacker banned.
@ OP and cold roses; really? i didn't know they added all the prestiges in that update; you would have thought they would have just unlocked them all, but then, the prestiges are just an added extra for ELiTE not working properly, so they must just be keeping them for later on.
I think something like this would be in the "premium" memberships right now if it's there. They won't make it that easily available until it's widespread.
Trust me when I say I keep an eye on them
I am premium lol (worth it to make sure the devs know IMMEDIATELY whether something needs dealt with)
I'm surprised that I haven't seen more 20th prestige hackers. One of my friends did it on his noob account a while back and said how easy it was, but i've never seen any wallhacks or aimbots, fortunately.
Like i said, it's far from impossible to hack this game; it's just as easy as MW2, the only difference being that the anti cheat system detects it and allows the devs to hotpatch wherever the problem is coming from, coding-wise.
I am guessing your friend didn't last long as was quickly banned? yeah, thats the system at work.
Yeah, it got banned within a day I think. He just did it to show on youtube that it's possible.
I saw that clip of Aero's friend. The 10 extra prestige levels were built into the game so they always intended on "adding" them. It wasn't related to the issues with Elite.
I just started chatting with XBL support... I'll let you know if they can do anything on this matter...
BTW, this is a little off topic but I found some TI boosters yesterday and just messaged the clips to BC. When I went to check his game history on Elite, he and his friend had different gamertags. Any chance this is intended to/will throw of BC?
Sometimes when boosters know they are caught they will change GT's to avoid banning. But you should be able to use their old GT to find them on the ELITE site.
It's worked for me on a few occasions.
Yeah when I typed in his GT it took me to his Elite page where it said he had a different name. Still hope BC resets them. I might resend the message to her on Monday with the added info that they changed their GT.
So long as their old GT's take her too their new GT's, she won't have a problem resetting and banning them. ![]()
I warned them after the first match that they were boosting and could be reset, but they just told me they would tell xbox I threatened to reset them and proceeded to boost in the next match. It would be kinda funny if they spent 10 bucks to change their GT and still get reset.
Oh yeah. No worries. I found a guy boosting a while back, recently he changed his GT. Well, all I had to do was type in his old GT, which led me to his new GT which also showed he was a token glitcher.
Long story short, banned and reset.
These kids just wasted their mom's hard earned money. hahahha
Actually, if you change your gametag after you link your account to ELITE, it'll still show the old gamertag until you unlink and relink your account.
When I typed in the GT I saw, it took me to his Elite page where his name was different. The name in the recent games was the same as the one I saw, just his Elite name was different.
Exactly, once they unlink and relink, it'll be the same.
Regardless of your intentions posting picutres with a players gt in them and claiming they are boosting and asking for them to be banned or reset is naming and shaming and against forum rules. Remove the picutres and just send them to bancandy.
Did you even read? They're not REAL tags, and it wasn't boosting. This is something well beyond. AND it WAS sent to BanCandy.
Let's get this straight.
Simply because you send something to BanCandy does not absolve you from any repercussions. The same goes for name n' shaming. Just because you posted a piece of media instead of text does not absolve you from our policies.
