Modern Warfare 2 hacked to reveal dev console, tweaks, etc

"Well, you can't keep a good PC gamer down. Certain cracks already allow some online play, and now the console has been enabled, allowing players to kick, change POV and FOV, and presumably do most of the stuff Infinity Ward decided had to stay in the cookie jar"

Haha, that's hilarious, *360 backhand slap to IW*

IdleLeeSiuLung5296d ago

To me it sounds like the PC version, but console version is mentioned.

LtSkittles5296d ago

No, the console is used to use cheats in some games by pressing ~ on a keyboard

Trebius5296d ago

They mean the special in-game console that lets you type in commands or codes to change things in the game. FPS games pretty much always had them in the past like Duke Nuken/Doom...even games like Neverwinter Nights has the Console to type cheats in.

toaster5296d ago

It's not just for cheats. Most PC games don't even use cheats anymore.

Console is used for changing effects in a game. Say, game X has explosion animation Y at a set level of Z. You can change that effect so it appear smaller, or if it's a gigantic explosion and it hurts your eyes you can numb it down to be less annoying. If you don't like the flash of light that a gun creates you can change it, or turn it off completely.

It's for controlling and tweaking the game to your liking, settings that are beyond the regular settings menu.

I got console consfused with Xbox/PS3. I guess I read n4g too much!

Console also means command line prompt (or similarly way to type in commands), which I use every day! lol....

Elaine Benes5295d ago

not console like a system---but like an in-game "shell" or command prompt.

I have something being extracted from a 6 gb file as we speak :D fck you too IW & Activision I ain't buying any of you're games AT ALL, even if you patch COD MW2 to have dedicated servers. Because it shouln't take a boycott and bi*ching and moaning for you to have taken out something as vital as dedicated servers for PC gamers.

MW3 shouldn’t leave Modern Warfare 2’s overlooked playlist behind

Modern Warfare 3 is set to be one of the biggest COD games yet features-wise, but it shouldn't leave out one of the best MW2 game modes in the rear view mirror.

Modern Warfare 2 Adds Pay-to-Win Items With Thermal Scope and Merlin the Dog, Here's How They Work

Some alleged Modern Warfare 2 pay-to-win elements were recently added, see what they are here and how they work.

PunksOnN4G280d ago

The DOG is legit Broken if ur hiding in a room or grass he turns his head even if ur behind a closed door he turns his head and barks letting them know where u at thats PAY TO WIN!!!!!

LucasRuinedChildhood280d ago

I hope all the assholes who buy these get stuck in lobbies with each other. I skipped new COD games for a long time and a short time with MW2 convinced me to go back to on a hiatus.

With the skill-based matchmaking (engagement-based would be more accurate), I imagine this will make the game even more miserable for most players when the matchmaking has decided it's time for a tough lobby.

I played the OG MW2 recently on the Series X and it's disheartening how much more fun it is. I don't even care about the balance issues anymore. lol

PunksOnN4G280d ago

My friends dont play with me anymore i am former pro player and i even streamed on MLG for RX gaming the team i played for... My KD is always high 5-6kd my friends who i went to school with are not good wht so ever so with SBMM kicking in its always putting us in TOP TIER lobbys and they cant hang now they dont even tell me when they getting on LOL

ManMarmalade280d ago

I recently started playing OG MW2 again and I'm having a blast. Feels like I'm in high school again.

fr0sty280d ago (Edited 280d ago )

Welcome to COD under MS. It's all downhill from here, they're going to be looking to make that $68B back as fast as possible, at any expense to the player.

StarkR3ality280d ago

The deal hasn't even closed yet you pleb. CoD has been doing stuff like this since the loot boxes in WWII.

Nice try though pal.

TheColbertinator279d ago

Activision has never needed Microsoft or anybody for that matter to act like greedy bastards

PunksOnN4G280d ago

why did my 2nd comment about SBMM get downvited LOL?? Do we have people who Enjoy trash SBMM tbh make sense it caters to LOW KD players and u will never get better playing with the same trahs everyday LOL

andy85280d ago

Probably gonna see more of this BS once the deal is fully done..Gotta recoup that 70B.

Jin_Sakai280d ago (Edited 280d ago )

Look at Minecraft. The game hasn’t went anywhere since Microsoft bought them. No 4K, no 120fps, no graphics pack, and no Ray Tracing. Just some new biomes, mobs, and more skins as usual.

Same could be said about Rare. Who knows what will happen to Activision once they’re under Microsoft’s roof. We can all take a good guess though.

PunksOnN4G280d ago

TBH they did update it by accident then they pulled the update down on xsx and xss i remeber the XSX version having ray tracing but the S did not. Then after people seen that it was updated it was removed that same day

peppeaccardo280d ago

No way !!! Nobody wouild think they would monetize on items that weak asses will use to get advantage during multiplayer action !!! I would never think they would do that ... I mean is a free to play game after all ! /S
Wait once M$ will put their greasy hands all over Activizion and you will see what awaits the "lucky" ones who will play this slot machine of a game. Sooooo Lame !

jznrpg280d ago

They way it works is you give them money and more money and more money.

anast280d ago

It's a true phenomenon that people haven't figured this out yet.
