world at war

does anyone else miss this gem of an online FPS? I cant wait too see if it will be popular as it was BEFORE all the hacking that has plagued it since.

My last point on this subject and one that keeps coming up time and again when discussing how broken MW2 is. Any discussion you see online about MW2 I guarantee you at least one person will say "this wouldn't have happened if it had a public beta" and people
will sagely nod their heads, stroke their beards and generally agree that a public beta would've solved all the problems before they even became problems.



I have some harsh and deeply troubling news that may shock those people even more than the Bruins winning the Stanley Cup shocked Vancouver.



COD4 (MW1) had a public beta and it's been hacked since not long after release. WaW had a public beta and it's been hacked since not long after release. Black Ops didn't have a public beta.



Says it all.

I should say as well because I know people are going to come back and say "we've paid our money for the game and DLC" etc that this has been going on the for years now in all three games and nothing has been done. Robert Bowling kept talking up the fabled
One Man Army patch a few months after MW2's release that was going to fix all the exploits, change how OMA works etc. It's now nearly two years later and said patch still hasn't appeared yet in that time IW found time to pump out two map packs and not bother
to fix the rock on Fuel. I could fix the rock on Fuel and I got confused by both Hammer and UnrealED! Treyarch were also well aware of the exploits and hacks surrounding World at War yet here we are coming up to three years since the last map pack and still
nothing has been done. In fairness to Treyarch the security in Black Ops has been outstanding, any developer who can hotfix modded lobbies out of their game inside of four hours and keep them out since then like they did is going to earn some brownie points
in my book. The response to the PS3 being jailbroken was also brilliant (insta console ban from matchmaking).



I know it's tempting to persevere with the older CODs for whatever reason whether you want to stick to the hackers, get your money's worth or whatever but you have to ask if it's worth it. I'm sure everyone knows about deranking in those games and how it
makes the multiplayer unplayable for that GT. Now if hackers have found a way to alter something like that without any input from the player then how long until they're able to do something far more serious to a person's account? I think it was Grey who first
floated the idea on here of removing access to the older COD's multiplayer and while the COD fanbase will not like it one bit I think they need protecting from themselves in a case like this. There's a point where you have to put a stop to something before
something really bad happens and if does happen I guarantee there will be right across the internet and in the media demanding to know why MS and/or Sony didn't step in. Activision may also not like the idea of losing out on potential DLC revenue and game
sales either but I think a strong message needs to be sent that you cannot just leave the online side of your games to the wolves so to speak.



Those three COD games are going to be remembered for just how broken they were rather than any sort of greatness or quality, I doubt we'll ever see games especially ones from the same series and especially series as big as COD be completely ripped apart
like this ever again.

 

What do you mean , have I missed something somewhere about a re-make for current gen consoles ?

 

of course thats what I mean, Im pretty sure this game will be made available onto the next gen, I just hope that its HACK FREE, It was a solid game as I ever played, best call of duty game ever made on the 360, Im also looking forward to mass effect 3.

 

Ahh , just wishful thinking then , one can hope that bac/compat sees it re-appear but I doubt it will be as popular now as when it was released .
