Hackers apparently create dedicated MW2 servers, gain super powers

Well, it couldn't possibly be because they're playing on a dedicated server, where such suspensions of the laws of nature are allowed. See, those don't exist. Sure, the video's description says that hackers have enabled these superhuman abilities on "a whole new wave of servers," but we all know that most of those people are total liars anyways.

Hoooah, slow down now, if this type of nonsense starts getting out of hand I may have to get this for the PC as well!

Next step: Vegeta mod
CheeziePotato @ Nov 16th 2009 9:06PM
And Duke Nukem mod.
sonicspike41 @ Nov 16th 2009 9:08PM
A Duke Nukem mod? I'm sure that'll take Forever to get out.

True

I totally called this while the rest of you were crapping your pants about not getting dedicated servers.

I'm bored, when are we gonna get real megatons, like a new trailer for Agent or Project Needlemouse.
Marius Returns @ Nov 16th 2009 10:51PM
you mean real news, well you have the VGAs to look forward to, there should be trailer or two that might peak your interest
WiredKnight: Keeper of Threads @ Nov 17th 2009 6:14AM
*pique.
Come on man, you weren't even close.
Marcus Carter @ Nov 16th 2009 9:06PM
wow amazing the need to make a dedicated server to make it fair
Tofu-Sama @ Nov 17th 2009 4:00AM
Major props if they managed it.
ill trooper @ Nov 16th 2009 9:07PM
I know that would be cheating, but it looks SUPER FUN too... I'm gonna be thinking about this video as I, hampered by normal gravity like all the rest of us mortals, slowly run around a corner and get shot, as usual.
Pantsparty @ Nov 16th 2009 9:07PM
You can't beat PC gaming.
Peter Moore @ Nov 16th 2009 9:16PM
Oh, I'm sure there are many things that beat it.
Like getting laid.
But I recognize your point, and do agree that it is a valid one.
WINterfang ( Now with the power to piss you off ) @ Nov 16th 2009 9:26PM
But I can beat a PC gamer.
RKN (Steam ID: nerdydesi) @ Nov 16th 2009 9:51PM
I dunno what's up with PC gamers being "losers" and console gamers getting drunk and laid every night.
Phix @ Nov 16th 2009 9:57PM
@RKN
Cause while PC Gamers accept their hobby and understand where they are in life... console gamers are just insecure jerks who have to spray themselves down with Hugo Boss cologne before grabbing a controller and reassuring themselves every 5 minutes that they're not just a bunch of losers playing some silly video game on a friday night and not in a club getting grinded on by a bunch of 13 year olds in some lame all-ages party.
Just kidding. :P

Ah......It's called "Perk-stige" mode hahaha
....it was bound to happen.
vidGuy @ Nov 16th 2009 9:11PM
Looks fun. Reminds me of hacking Halo 2 on a modded Xbox. I loved turning the gravity low and jumping on top of the maps, firing a dozen rockets out of a shotgun, that sort of thing. It caused a lot of framerate lag, but there wasn't many things better than surprising an opponent with a rocket out of a shotgun.
IGLAW @ Nov 16th 2009 9:19PM
I think you'd like Borderlands.
WiredKnight: Keeper of Threads @ Nov 17th 2009 6:21AM
There are few things as satisfying as killing cheating motherfuckers without doing so yourself. I remember one match a friend and me played where one guy had a speed/invisibility hack. We spent the whole match just hunting his ass down and ruining his fun. Vindication!
KID @ Nov 18th 2009 3:16AM
I remember one ass who decided to decided to make only 1 spawn point. When people finally got around to killing him/her, the person continuously spawned in the same spot, getting assassinated every time. They eventually quit.

normal games will proceed.. as normal.

I love it when servers ditch the "Realistic Gaming" and just go Bat-shit crazy with the game.
That shit is pure fun.

Indeed...I wanna use that AC-130 that's apparently on crack!
MasterInsan0 @ Nov 16th 2009 9:28PM
I'd love the fact that people have already created dedicated servers if it didn't also come with the whole "hackers and cheaters" thing too.
Levi @ Nov 16th 2009 9:34PM
if it grows to a big enough community, of course there will be plenty of servers that ban hackers
Reader @ Nov 16th 2009 10:07PM
Those hackers will be present on the IW servers as well, they just will take forever to get banned. I also think most are misunderstanding what this is about. This isn't about hacking, but changing gravity and other things like you could on any CS server.
DustoMan @ Nov 16th 2009 9:29PM
Umm.. ya that sure looks fun. Really missing those dedicated servers.
Special Agent Steve @ Nov 16th 2009 9:34PM
Lol, also, a crack was just released to allow people to play multiplayer through Steam. Man, Infinity Ward FUCKED up. Or was it Activision? Meh, I still like IW a little, so let's go with the latter.
deaftly (PSN,LIVE,STEAM) @ Nov 16th 2009 9:40PM
I thought the PC community was boycotting this, so I suppose no one will even be using these servers.

Torrent + 3rd party mod =/= adandonning boycott
In fact, this is the strategy I was espousing for all who were mad about it. Everyone is quick to point out not buying a product makes no difference since you are such a small drop in a large bucket, and I agree. But the one time I do know a big company listened to the complaining consumers was when everyone pirated Spore, choosing the more-functional illegal version, and EA could actually count the lost sales.
In this disturbing trend of companies not caring about what customers want, voting with your bittorrent client may be the only way some big companies will hear you.

"In this disturbing trend of companies not caring about what customers want, voting with your bittorrent client may be the only way some big companies will hear you."
Oh I'm sure they'll hear us.
Then go right ahead and make MW3 console only.
brian @ Nov 16th 2009 11:04PM
if they make mw3 for consoles only, do you think we will care?
especially if it is made like mw2?
mahouneko @ Nov 16th 2009 11:45PM
@aristokrat:
I really don't see a reason why you would resort to piracy just to boycott a game. If you don't like the decisions that a company made with regards to its product, then the best and most effective means of slapping them in the face is to ignore their product completely and move onto something else.
The fact that you're even resorting to piracy does two things:
1. Pirating the game only enforces the company's stubbornness because it feeds straight into the "All PC gamers are pirates" bullshit that they've been spitting.
2. That you're playing a pirated game that you're angry about and are supposed to be "boycotting" speaks a lot about your maturity as a person and your complete disregard to the responsibility that you shoulder.
I'm (currently) primarily a console (PS3) gamer and I spite Activision/Infinity Ward by not purchasing nor pirating Modern Warfare 2. It's really easy to do because there are BETTER things out there like the upcoming Bad Company 2 and M.A.G.
