Call Of Duty 4 Gets Hacked Up, Infinity Ward Preps Patch

11:30AM August 4, 2009 | Michael McWhertor

Seems the PlayStation 3 version of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare has been rendered nearly unplayable, thanks to exploits that grant cheaters game-wrecking bonuses like infinite ammo, plus the ability to fly and walk through walls. The good news?

Infinity Ward appears to already be on top of quelling that nonsense, as the team’s director of communications and community manager Robert Bowling writes on his Twitter, “A patch is in the works for PS3 and Xbox 360 to address the recent COD4 exploits. I’ll keep you posted on the progress.”

Thank official Call of Duty 4 forum moderators for bubbling up the issue, something that Infinity Ward is looking to quickly address. Ah well, it was the complete opposite of fun while it lasted!

    WHILE YOU’RE THERE COULD YOU PLEASE ADD COUNTRY FILTERING?!

    It’s in COD:WAW. Australians are desperately hoping it’s in MW2.

    There is no reason why in 2009 we should be constantly stuck in laggy US-hosted games.

      protip: the in-game browser in cod games has always sucked and is almost guaranteed to suck. Use xfire or something similar.

        Protip: Realise that Jeremy was talking about the P2P-hosted only consoles versions. There are no alternatives.

    I was playing CoD4 just last night and some dude was walking around in the sky shooting at people down below. It was like WTF? Also there are MAJOR issues with private games.. they NEVER work. For as long as I’ve had CoD4 on the PS3 i havent been able to successfully run a private game with any of my mates. Its ridiculous.
