PS3 Hack Opens Call of Duty Online Exploits
Developer Infinity Ward has warned players of the PS3 versions of Call of Duty 4 and Modern Warfare 2 that the recent key-level hack to the PS3 has opened the titles up to online exploits that can't be fixed with a simple patch.
Hacked servers reportedly have the ability to reset players' accumulated stats and unlocked abilities, as well as granting players temporary abilities such as auto-aiming and super-speed.
Writing on the developer's official forums, Infinity Ward creative strategist Robert Bowling said that while the company is looking into ways to fix the problem, they may be at the mercy of Sony to correct for the broader PS3 hack first.
