Pc version of MW3 is unplayble due to the huge amount of hackers. What Activision / Infinity Ward should do to solve this is:
a) make reporting easier via ingame menu
b) hire people to actually watch match recordings and such
c) make punishments more severe, using wallhack or aimbot should result in a direct ban
Present situation is that cheaters roam free, the game is not enjoyable at all. It is impossible to report cheaters even via steam becouse their hacking softwares hide their names from playerlists etc... frustrating.
Personally I am very disappointed with the game and too pessimistic to hope that situation would be getting better anytime soon. I doubt I will be buying further products from the companies mentioned above due to their slack attitude towards cheating.
Oh, and in order to make this a question I would like to add: how is Activision and / or Infinity Ward going to solve the problem mentioned above?
They will not, the games life is comming to a close, another game is now being produced to replace this, and just hope they "IW" will give you the heads up on how you will play online, and what type of servers will be available to play on "ranked" or "none ranked" they may even implement some anti hack or reporting system in the next game, as suggested by some forum uses. But I think it's to late in the day for any major changes to MW3.
But I found away of sorting the issue out, I uninstalled it, "no more hackes" to play against, now playing another game ![]()
Hooty is correct.
so why cant mw3 have ranked servers where decent admins can ban haxors,and therfore provide a better place for normal players to go to?
and in otherwords,
THERE IS ABSOLUTLY NO POINT IN EVER BUYING THIS OR ANY FUTURE COD TITLE ON PC?
COZ,
A) there is NO anti cheat sytem available
B) there is no ban system against haxors
Well that's a cop out by Mark Rubin. The threat of bancandy alone made a HUGE difference in the number of cheaters. She/they didn't do anything I don't think, but the fact that they took it seriously made a difference... and so does the fact that they don't give a damn.
Not so much a cop out but blatantly untrue.
Its not 100% impossible to defeat, but its pretty trivial to attatch a unique signature ID to everyone's account on the IW servers. There are a bunch of serial numbers in your PC, which can be interrogated and used to form an ID, encrypted and then can be banned regardless of the user ID on Steam or in game. I've personally used this method to secure a closed beta product before and it worked fine. It also works pretty well for Microsoft on Win7.
Hell even banning the MAC address on a cheater's NIC would probably be beyond most of the people using cheats to spoof, so saying you can't ban on PC is not the case.
Mark Rubin should perhaps just fess up and say that IW are adopting a strategy of minimal compliance in post launch service and support on PC and save people the grief of unfulfilled expectation. It would be a far more honest stance and isn't exactly going to cost the company a bucket of revenue compared to what they're making from XBox or PS3 users.
It would have been more accurate for him to say that pc's can't because we built a game that did not allow for that to happen.
Is this game not covered by the same laws, if a product is unsuitable for what it was intended for. If you purchase something that states on the box and it does not comply you get a refund or something of equal value. If "Mark Rubin" states they cannot ban PC hackers, it should have stated that on the box before you purchased it, but it did not say that on my copy of the game.... So IW I would like a refund ![]()
I would like a refund aswell. Explenations from infinity ward / activision do not interest me at all. The game isn't jus a disappointment, it's a hoax in a massive scale. I have delivered a complaint to officials that take of customer rights in my country (Finland), perhaps someone in the sale / resale chain can be forced to compensate.
I can't believe that a program like punkbuster can't be implemented in this game. I'm lucky to be able to play a few good rounds beffore some hackers joins and ruins the game with aimbots, and wallhacks.
Yeah hey check out these guys channel they r doing vids on hackers caught during matches

its clever how the hackers get away with it now huh?
if you read the post from Viitactiizz, twitter, you will see PC hackers cannot be band the same way as consol users, or as easy should I say, so the hackers can play in any game knowing little can be done. I am talking to our clan members hoping they go back to Cod 4 and have a modded server, new maps new blood. This is my last £40 going into IW bank ever, what a farse this game is.
