I feel your pain man, but honestly, they won't read this, they don't care. They are playing with thier little kiddy consoles and we can go to hell as far as they are conmcerned. You can do as many of us have done and complaign to the Better Business Bureau. BTW, I'm older than you, and have a grand daughter

I will start me reading on that ongoing process, I was not aware how bad support is around here, what a sad thing man, sad sad thing.
It is also sad as well when you have to force their hand into doing something which the should take pride on doing, this is not a franchise to be proud however as it stands...
I will join this effort no doubt, I wonder is any of the older gamers out there with a law degree has any info in a class action suit...Thanks for your input and congratulations on you grand daughter, must be awesome... I am hoping to see some grand kids but not too soon lol! my son still finishing his Junior College an so is my daughter, they both going for a medicine career

I agree with you and the OP. I'm 28, grew up playing CoD1 on PC and only switched after MW2 back to console precisely because of this garbage. I play on PS3 which seems to run OK, you still get some LAG but it's tolerable. Too many low lives in this world that just sit at home and hack to fill there overly inflated ego's. Why don't they put that knowledge to use and say, hack Syria's networks. After all, that might make an actual difference in this world but no, they ruin the experience of a GAME for the honest hardworking people that play by the rules. Some human beings are just seriously damaged goods if you know what I mean.

well hacking this game in pc prob isnt very difficult, id guess its alot of copy and past a string from notpad, and there ya go
"hackers" in ps3 or any other console arent really hackers at all, they just dl 3 party software that give them aim bots, wall hack etc.
real hackers are whom ever hacked playstation, and had the capability to take personal info

I hear you. Just started playing MW3 and can not believe how bad the hacking is. I am not sure what it is hackers get out playing and hacking. There's no skill involved. What's more pathetic is when you can tell someone has been hacking and they rage about someone else that's hacking. They are the first and the worst to cry about it during a gaime.

Well the sad news is
I've just done a google search on game hacking, and the big one is those using aimbots etc will if found get a ban, the ones that the devs will take to court are the ones who can copy the game and play for free, as that costs them money "or the loss of it" aim botters etc only effect other gamers and in the short term don't loose them money. But I think if they don't get there act together the Devs will loose monies on all future cod games no matter what they say they have implemented in the next game, and I am a mature gamer who enjoyed MW3 when it first came out and had high hopes for the game and looked at it as the first true Cod 4 replacement " but it has turned out to be a big disappointment to say the least, and thats down to little or no support and the lack of RDS. - Report Abuse

I'm so old, Moses owes me money, and I will not support this game any longer, hacking has ruined the fun.
And as far as reporting hacks, have any been banned? I was in a game and there was a player named Oxford University that was a blatant hack, even going as far as stating that he was hacking, but did anything happen? Not that I know of. When I hit a lobby that has someone in it that I have seen hacking, I just leave, and I play the game less and less. Looks like I will be moving to Medal of Honor, and see if it's any better, if not, I'll find something else to play.
Let them count their money, they just won't see any of mine...

Lol at the Moses reference
, but in reality, us mature gamers are living proof that old age is just a state of mind, you only get old if you want too right?I don't know how effective this hack reporting with video evidence is, I never done it, it is my son who does the MW3 gaming, I just passed on the info to him on how to go about reporting hackers, only time will tell, but so far, it is discouraging, it seems to just get worst, that is really too bad for everybody, including the game developers, they just shooting themselves in the foot...

I just wish the reporting did some good, if I thought it would, I would try it, but I keep seeing the same hacks doing the same things, so I don't have a lot of faith in the system.
But, if everyone would stand their ground and let them know that we will not be buying the new product, maybe it will open someones eyes to the problem.

Are we still talking about this? P2P networking is a FAIL, for online video gaming; let's cut our losses and move on. already.
There is no FIXING this, without DEDICATED SERVER!

There are 2 kinds of multiplayer game play, P2P (Peer to Peer, meaning computer to computer) and Servers (Dedicated Servers). IF you are able to Rank Up while playing on a dedicated server, it's a Ranked Dedicated Server.
Both methods are essentially the same thing.
P2P will select the best computer to host (be the server), out of the players in the lobby, and that player becomes the host or server, for that game.
Dedicated servers are static or stationary and dedicated to running that game, and everyone just logs into that server to play. The game runs on that server and all the players interact with that game/server.
The biggest difference is, with dedi servers (dedicated servers) you get to pick the host/server you want to play on, and the ping (time it takes your computer to interact with the server), closer is better.
There are cheaters on both platforms, but if you have an admin that cares, they can kick cheaters from the dedicated server. But if you are host in a P2P match, you can do that too.
P2P is not a failure per se. It has served very well, but it's not perfect. Experienced players that grew up with dedi servers prefer dedi servers.
The down side to dedi servers is you play with the same people all the time and you have to play by "their" rules. The up side is you can have more control over eveything... IF the game developers give you access to those parameters.
The dedi servers in MW3 are not any good to me. They are too restricted.

Sry about that: I'm just getting really frustrated with this game developer; and their total lack of documentation, and responce.
And how these forums have turned in to nothing more then a plile of unresolved complaints.
I realize you are new to the forums; but this has been gone over...and over ....and over ...
If you want to see a good disciption of a Dedicated server look here http://community.callofduty.com/message/413355465#413355465
The real issue is that IW has tried to remove the entire concept of dedicated servers from their games starting in MW2 where they where not even included at all.
and in MW3 they gave us un-ranked dedis- but locked them down tighter then a goose....with little to no documentation, hidden game server browsers...you need to go in to option>dedicated serve to "activate the server browser (something a lot of people still don't know... that wasn't documented, and couldn't be bother with stickling (pinning) to the forums)
And broken rcon (remote consol, the tools used by server admins to "police THEIR SERVERS)
I was the biggest advocate for unranked dedicated servers in the beginning: I had hoped in vain that people would realize the futility of P2P gaming (guess i was wrong)
I wasted over $300.00 of my clans moneys on broken dedicated server (broken dedis- is an other long discussion all together) which I finally closed down for lack of use; due in part by the lack of documentation.
but it has been gone over extensively:

just to name a few.
I have been playing and facilitating COD since 10/2003 (inception) so yeah i think i know A little something about COD dedicated server.
I've been active in theses forum for years, I've done my part with the bbb; and done my damndest to try and help people.
And I've been in these forums long enough to know that I will probably be shut down by the thought police soon. (something B.B.B AKA cheaterssck, codb@man etc...can attest to)

No worries Poison Pawn, also thanks for this reply, this is the kind of stuff we can all use and learn from, informative and right on point...
And yes, you absolutely right, looks like all MW3 buyers complaints are going unattended, but I am sure they are aware thanks to this seemingly useless threads that their customers are unhappy, this is not healthy for any business, in the long run, it tends to break things for them... So, my point is, never stay quiet on any issue, not just for this, for for anything in life in general, if you don't express your discontent, nobody will ever know, and nothing will ever change...
Thanks again for the useful info and links on this reply.

the game simply dissapoints players that, like me, got addicted in COD since the Single-player games.
i just wish that MW3 was managed by steam with VAC and servers tools

There are a lot of players that post on this forum, that like myself have played Cod from it's birth, supporting the game, creating a clan etc, and just having fun,
but the lack of support for the PC gamer and the amount of hackers, just makes this game a farse, yes it would have been nice to have RDS, but that was never to be, simply because the devs did not want to lose control over the game, and have modded servers popping up all over the place that inturn would give the game extra life, "as with Cod4" and that stops them selling DLC, and making money. - Report Abuse

The best your son can do is to put the game down and start playing something else. This happened in MW2 (an earlier title in the CoD series) and nothing changed. The devs turned their backs and kept working on their future release.
It's the same with this title. I don't play PC but I've seen sooo many PC hacked videos on youTUBE it is ridiculous. And these were out not too long after the games release. Sad really.
On the PS3 side we are experiencing game debilitating lag and horrible matchmaking to the point of unplayable games. I live in the Midwest US and I'll get matched to Russians, both Eastern and Western Europeans and South Americans... Makes no sense when I know well over 50,000 people are playing alone in the US.
Please heed my advise and buy your son a different game.

Hey BBB!
Thanks for addressing the troll, those troll comments at forums are as welcomed and as useful as cheater in gaming...
My son went online for a bit yesterday, he didn't see the clan, he was tired though, they had a karate tournament, him and his sister competed, they did well

I am glad I came to post my frustration about MW3 here, I got to meet BBB and his online gaming clan, great group, skilled gamers, asset to the gaming community, they were kind to accept my son into their clan, he has nothing but positive comments about gaming with them...

You are definitively entitled to your opinion, after all, that is what forums are for... Same as I, I can express what is on my mind.
The issue discussed, here, may seem pointless to you, and that is fine, some folks rather stay quiet when presented an unwanted situation, and tend to give up on possible solutions or even consider the possibilities... I do see your point, I think you do fail to see mine, but that is fine as well.
You can defend IW al you want, it wont matter to them either, their game is a financial success, and that is where we, the ones who spend the money on their games could do something about it.
If I was to take your response to heart, I might as well forget about PC online gaming... That is not likely to happen, solutions are for those who actively search for them, defending the developers and calling customer complaints pointless, well, let's just hope that that opinion is not the majority, because if so, then you are right and we might as well Graigslist our gaming PC rigs...

The main point is a simple one, hackers and how to control the amount that plays in the game, the main control has been taken away from clans, i.e. RDS servers with a decent r-con tool... we can do little in P2P as a player other than report "if that works at all". We had an excellent server "COD4" with lots of players in each evening, who followed the rules and played for the fun of it, and made lots of friends from all around the world. We also have no or very little feedback from the devs on whats happening with the battle against the hackers if in fact anything, I know I do go on about the lack of responce from devs, but I have been around a long time and remember this forum when you asked a question you got an answer from the devs, not just responces from other forum uses. and remember we did not create the P2P system they did? and it should be down to them to fix the hackers not us.

There are no dedcated servers because if there are then we can all play the game for free ... they prefer to have cheaters and to lose money slowly than to put dedicated servers and lose money fast ... this is corporal decision they don't care about people they care about money ... that is why my coppy is a russian retail version and it costs about ... 10 euro ... registered it in Steam through a proxy and everything is ok
When the company don't care about you ... you stop caring about the company. There are plenty of alternative ways to play MW1, 2 and 3 than just buying the game.
I bought my copy because I thought I want to support the company for making this great game but then I started playing and now I believe that my 10 euros are too much for this piece of crap ...
I will 100% not buy BO2 or if I do it it will be a russion retail version again it works perfectly and it costs 80% less the money ... unless I see that it is cheater free ... but I highly doubt it ...

Now not the biggest or best first person shooter. But pickt upp MW 3 to refreesh and see if I likt it to see if I deside to buy Blackops 2, that is comming soon. First 5 games I see aimbots, wh and so on, even a guy that has not been around for months sees it strait upp. Now get some games were there are none hackers are enjoy em alot, but in all 8-9 out off 10 have a hacker. It is not a once in a while, it has turned out to a part off the game. Did a quick Google cheack and are sites out there that have hacks for all CoD games and promises for Blackops 2 within hours off launch.
Now want to try Blackops 2 since it is suposse to be cheater free and a good game, but do not wanne spend my money of it turns out like MW3. So deside to cheack my contries laws on the mather and contact my lands costumer service. Turns out that if I buy a hard copy (discs) to play the game online and said game does not have servers upp and running or is ruined by cheaters I can get a refound since said product is sold with faults on it. This aplies as long as I bought the game inside of my countries borders, even if the multi player part is on the net.
Now cheeck your contires laws and rules on sales and coustumor rights. Clearly they only care about the money and not giving a good game to us. By safe guarding yourself and doing 5 min off net work you can make em lisen with hitting em in the money sack that is all they care about. By buying and returning if they **** upp again you as a counsumer get a voice, to bad jussely takes some off us to make a diffrence. Worst case you buy hard copy (discs) return it for your money and get it on steam later on.
Sorry for bad english, not my native tounge.

You've been playing PC since the 80's and you're just now noticing hackers? PC will always be hacked, the devs have said there is nothing they can do about it. The way things are now a days is you can pirate a copy of an online game and still hack it without worries of being banned. Buy a console, i know it's not as superior with the controls but it's a lot harder to hack and on xbox you will get banned for cheating in anyway.

While your condescending tone tells me to just ignore your reply, I guess I'll take a couple of minutes (watching the Chargers vs Raiders game but is half time).
I don't play online, my son does, and yes, I been gaming since the 80's, some of my favorites were mostly from a company called Sierra, titles like Space Quest, King's Quest, Manhunter, Leisure Suits Larry, were among my favorites. I love first person shooters, one of my all time favorites was/is Far Cry (the first one), but I have play many many single player titles, I have not played online where the hacking takes place. I am not naive, or anything near that, I live a full life, I do try to make time for gaming, sometimes I can't...
Now, consoles, we got them all, I don't touch them, both my son and daughter use them in occasion, but they always go back to PC, I guess they appreciate the much superior graphics and eye candy, that and the keyboard mouse control...
To each its own bud, peace and thanks for your input... back to my game.

Sorry if I came off condescending I apologize. I have also been playing PC for years and anytime you play FPS there will be hackers it's unavoidable. It's best to stray away from them online, or play servers who have admins and can watch players closely for hacking. There are some good servers out there you just have to look for active ones who enforce the rules and stick with playing those.

Basically it all boils down to what has been said in this forum over and over:
Hackers are inevitable, it's all about finding the best way to deal with them, and on the PC platform that means proper ranked dedicated servers run by clans and admins who appreciate the true spirit of gaming, enforce the rules for the benefit of all that want to play decently, and ban the cheaters.
This is the way it has been done (sucessfully) for years, attempting to create a locked down P2P console-style multiplayer experience for PC has been a big FAIL, lets hope we don't see it ever again.
There is a compromise, and DICE do this with BF3 (and is likely to happen with BLOPS2), and that is to only license certain providers to rent game servers. This gives the developers some semblance of control that those companies seem to like, while at the same time allowing clans and admins to set up and run their games as they want to.
Naturally we'd love to have full control ourselves (like CoD4) but I think those days are gone for new releases.

yes you do get banned if you cheat on a console xbox or ps3, thats why you pay for an gold account, for those extra features. we as pc users donot, but there should not be an extra cost in playing a cheat free game, and have a working anti cheat system. you would think IW have planned to upset the PC gamer from the day of releace of this game.

I've put CSL Bans Pluggins, sourcebans and steambans, The first game with it, 10 people quitted and 10 came, other 10 quitted, never see this, the tomorow, who I think cheating in a game quitted between two games, and in displaying players, like TOG team, players playing black ops, only one on 6 playing mw3 anymore. Activision definitively don't want rage quit or here guys quitting the game in the middle.
