Hacked Lobbies Return to Modern Warfare 3

StickSkills.com writes, "A few weeks back, you may recall an article we put up about hackers looking to ruin your Modern Warfare 3 experience. Today, we’re bringing you both a report and new video that showcases hacked lobbies have indeed return to Call of Duty."

[Buzz7S]

Umm... that looks sped up.

player theater, now. that will prove it.

[stickskills]

If you remember Modern Warfare 2's hacked lobbies, they had the exact same issues. I JUST played one tonight as well. Wondering if it has to do with this new patch...

[Buzz7S]

By all means, I know MW2 was plagued with such things, but it's just funny that EVERYTHING is sped up in the game. It looks altered to me, that's all.

[GodKing1337]

yeah dude we're not doubting you that their back, but the video in the link just looks fake...

[malol]

dont know
it may be sped up
but then again you see him bump into alot of walls so
it could be true
and alot of rubber banding too so IDK

[jadenkorri]

if this is true, last time i ended up in a hacked lobby my stats were reset and lost everything in mw2 along with 2 of my friends, and IW told me they weren't responsible for other peoples online actions. Yes i was stupid enough to get MW3, but now with a paid online service for elite, IW cannot cold shoulder us this time, or at least i hope. Suggestion to all, get in a hacker server just leave, actually hold ps3 logo/xbox logo and quit or pull the power, dont let any stats upload. Found that out after I got reset in mw2.

[papashango]

"IW cannot cold shoulder us this time, or at least i hope. "

the most common things I hear regarding cod.

They need to make it more like cod4...

They are making more like cod4!

Launch will be seamless considering the engine is X years old.

There will be no bugs or glitches because they got that sorted out X years ago

They won't ignore us this time!

[Iamback]

this is FAKE as s..t.

[Shackdaddy836]

I thought it was fake too at first. Look at 1:27. His friend sign is at normal speed. That would be pretty dam hard just to edit in...

[banana420]

nope would take about 2 mins

[FlameBaitGod]

looking at the dots when it says waiting for other players should answer the question if this is altered.

[Eiffel]

The player signing in pretty much debunked the assumption it was sped up. But of course it could be a pre-recorded game sped up, recorded to a video format and played over on the Xbox, while signed in.

[gedapeleda]

They're just on speed...

perk

[saladthieves]

This was bound to happen anyway. After all, it is pretty much the same game. It just shows that these devs are too lazy to learn from past mistakes and fix them.

Anyway, for the holidays I've been recommending my friends to buy better games like Skyrim, Uncharted 3, Battlefield 3, Arkham City etc. instead of Modern Warfare 3.

[GodKing1337]

yeah man I sorry to say this video is fake, but I wouldn't be surprised if the lobbies were back. Proof for this video being fake; no one can react that fast, voices are sped up, and the player running makes no mistakes at that speed.

[stickskills]

There's more than one video included in the article showcasing even more proof. Search for "Modern Warfare 3 hacked lobbies" & see the plethora of forum threads that emerge about it going on.

[Craftiii4]

he does make mistakes, also look at 1:27

[Buzz7S]

I will believe it when I watch the match in the players vault. Otherwise, I can say it's fake. Until then, dunno...

[csreynolds]

Fake. This is just sped-up gameplay footage - notice the round timer is running in quad time as well, as are the Killcams countdowns.

[DrRobotnik]

1:27 proves its not. Look at the friend notification in top right corner.

[rajman]

You can just take that out from another video and edit it in, not that hard to do

[Whore_Mouth]

I looked at it, and it has a halo effect around it. Looks super imposed.

[DonaldBeck]

seems people were living ona prayer hoping if wouldent get hacked, then bam!

[3GenGames]

It's fake, especially the edited in ONLINE tag because there's a white boarder around it that wouldn't be that white one the edges at all. Plus the points at the end after he said "I got like 40000 points" only said 1000ish. The video is fake, but still I doubt that it isn't hacked yet, it's the exact game as last time anyway.

[cr33ping_death]

gotta say i love me some Battlefield and refuse to buy this until it goes down in price....but this is fake, reaction time of the player at that speed is super human......FAKE

[cr33ping_death]

HMM i guess this vid is real?? going by the disagrees

[Vecta]

It is real, the servers have been hacked, just look around on the net, I myself have wound up in a few servers like this.

If you don't believe the video you can go check out the guys online theater and watch the match yourself.

[darkgoon3r96]

For those of you people with a tiny brain, I suggest you check the comments of the video, this is real, and not sped up, you can check this gameplay in theater mode if you desire so.

[SnakeCQC]

this is real folks look at the speed his friend sign in notification was at in relation to everything else in the video(happens at 1:47)

[banana420]

edited in its easy

[SnakeCQC]

no one would go through that much trouble and its not you can tell from the area around the notification box

[Eiffel]

You can easily record the gameplay, edit it, render. Then import the video file to a readable format on your Xbox 360 and by stage or luck, have someone sign in at a normal speed, then rerecord the edited video.

I have an HD PVR, it's simple stuff.

[SnakeCQC]

okay it sound easy to do but i also find the existence of hacked lobbies in mw3 very likely because of issues i've faced in the game personally, that shouldn't be in there. Basic stuff lik,e when i shoot at someone's body it doesn't register as a hit and lag. mw3 uses the same code as mw2 and mw1 and there are still problems for that reason i dont plan on buying cod games ever again. I mean if it looks the same as previous games they should have atleast made the game play flawless without these problems. I have a theory that the people that left iw were the actually the most qualified and if they in iw we would have had a new engine and it would graphically match bf3 but the awesome mw gameplay.

[Eiffel]

I'm not denying it's fake or real, just tossing a possibility on how this CAN be faked.

[Majin-vegeta]

COD hacked??Stop the presses this is an outrage /s.Is anyone actually surprised??

[J_Cob]

I don't think the video is fake. When one of his friends signs in the pop up logo pulses at regular speed.

[ghostgaming]

This is real all - this happened to me today. Joined a TDM, Hardhat and had the same issue as shown in the video.

[FlareDReborn]

Of course hacked lobby's return i mean come on its running off the same code MW2 had.

[MRMagoo123]

The vid is def faked i suspect by the look of the timer going fast as well unless somehow the hack affects the speed of all game assets, but i think hacks are def out there in game or being made as we speak.

[Dannehkins]

By the looks of this, I am calling fake.

The timer - as people have already mentioned - is going down too quick. I have also looked at 1:27 and I can't see what people are going on about.

Regardless, if it was a speed hack, it would be making you go faster... not making the round go faster.

[Laughing Buddha]

So let me get this straight... He rage quits in a match he claims is laggy and has bad hit detection but decides to stay in a hacked game? Fake or not, I've been in hacked games in both Modern Warfare 2 & World @ War but not Black Ops or MW3. I'm hoping this is fake who knows, they still have those damn annoying face button clan tags! That shit should have been fixed already!

[Gamerita]

this is expected because SLEDGEHAMMER made a copy of MW2 & made slight changes (bad changes if you ask me),they didn't make the game engine,the axed infinity ward staff are the ones who made it,the few who stayed with greedy activision are the ones who used to make the tea & coffee for the axed staff. so don't expect SLEDGENOOBS or the TEABOYS to have a clue how to stop hacking.

[thespaz]

If it's true, it won't last long.

Hackers know this engine all too well... there's a way to hack any piece of software and with a game as huge as MW3, there's bound to be people hacking it.

There were even hackers in Black Ops.

[Muffins1223]

I think they used Cheat engine

[MRMagoo123]

LMAO

you know with MW3 engine i wouldnt be surprised

[XboxInnovation]

Who cares, Call of duty has ran it's course, let them hack all they want.

[GamerPS360]

I joined one of those hacked game. My experience is -ve 1 trillion now :D

[manitobawpg]

joined a match with the name r3 l3 and so on. i thought not this again

[Getowned]

fake the voices on the mic are sped up as well.

[olLANDSHARKlo]

The best guy in the game was like 18 kills 7 deaths, wouldn't you think he would be like 25 and 2 or something crazy, it's a fake video.

[vman8126]

The video IS NOT fake folks..... I jumped into a MW3 team deathwatch round earlier today, and it was sped up, exactly as in the video, complete with chipmunk voices and all. I restarted my 360 and the next round was back to normal.... But it is NOT fake......

[frankiebeans]

i was just in a slow mo room it was kinda cool killing people like the matrix lol i saved the replay in my game.

[acemonkey]

looks speed up to me...but idk but who cares anybody in here got in a glitchy room like this?

[JohnP26]

To people who are saying this is fake, you are speaking nonsense. I participated in one of these lobbies in MW2. Everything gets sped up, not just movement speed. There are many videos of sped up lobbies n MW2 on youtube and there are some on MW3.

Its a hacked lobby, that is all nothing more, nothing less. Lets just all hope IW gets on to fixing it.

Here is a slow mo lobby. Watch the gamechat at the start of it, the guy talking is normal the game is slow.

[2v1]

I know is sad and that it hurts.

[RyuCloudStrife]

fake and gay. get a life. fake and gay.

[Der_Kommandant]

That's the best selling game ever... T______T

[Colonel_Dante]

Hey ! Dice! *looks at Dice* . you gotta come see this!!
;)

[kingPoS]

When did MW3 get bullet time?

[Colonel_Dante]

^^ He speaks THEIR language. He must be a COD veteren. He must be right! It is fake!

[R834]

I have no doubt that MW3 will get hacked, and perhaps already is, but this could have been faked very easily.

The fact that his reactions are the same speed as the gameplay makes it suspicious to me.

[Kahvipannu]

This is hardly news, pretty expected.

I'm more wondering why won't they fix theyr game already? It's not like they don't have resources or capital for it... I don't play the game, but I am astonished by the devs and Activisions way of dealing things. It's a god damn game that millions of people buy and play every year, and what does the consumers get from theyr support?

They push out one game per year, that sells more than anything else, and all same problems keep happening. They do spend theyr time making new features (which no one asked) which they will get more money from the gamers, yeah, but not fix the damn game.

[StankyChicken]

it was only a matter of days....

[OmegaGunner]

Fake or not all hackers/modders should be BANNED. Simply report any modders and eventually they will be banned.

I report at least two modders everytime I play COD4. I love COD4 MW1 but the modders and leeching punks try to ruin the game for the legit players.

The fact is that 90% of these modders/hackers are either punk kids or 20 something losers with no life. They should all be perma banned from both Xboxlive and PSN.
