Infinity Ward's creative strategist, Robert Bowling, has revealed that more than 1,600 players of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 have been banned after cheating or using exploits to their advantage within the game.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 had the most successful entertainment launch of all time, but with this huge popularity came a big number of players who wanted to cheat during the online multiplayer mode by using special programs or exploits.

This won't be tolerated by Infinity Ward, the co-developer of Modern Warfare 3, as the studio's Robert Bowling confirmed on his Twitter account that, "Any attempt to cheat, hack, or glitch in Modern Warfare 3 will not be tolerated. 1600+ bans issued. Updates in works. Please continue to report offenders."

As such, you can see that even if you can still use exploits or cheats to gain an advantage in Modern Warfare 3, Infinity Ward will track you down and swiftly issue a ban.

I read the above article with joy thinking I could finally start to play without people using aim cheats.. so I went and ran 10 matches in assorted types domination, team defender etc .. and guess what ? Every match I was in (except one) had cheaters in it all using aim cheats one match I was in the the entire opposing team was using aim hacks. Is any real action ever going to be taken to get rid of these punks ???????????????????

I've moved from PC to Console FPS because of how easy it is for hackers to have the upper hand. I honestly think here will ever be any real action taken against this because the companies are making even more from the hackers. They get banned, they buy game, they get banned, etc. All this is for them is $$$$.

whole thing is junk.....I rarely get in a game that doesn't have someone cheating. Ruins the game? Yep.....I've even played with people from Infinity Ward that are using cheats. They don't care. 1600 people....lol. Hardly nothing when there is millions playing.

I think that the punishments aren't strong enough. I think that unless the game comes with cheat and code functions in its programing like the GTA codes, cheating, moding,boosting, and glitching are for cowards who are afraid of having thier asses handed to them by real players. And the fact is Im not a good player at MW3. Its actually my first COD game and yeah I suck. still way in the negative with a .5 kdr but im not cheating to get ahead in fact im logging on day after day and dealing with the people that are. Cheaters take all the fun out of on line games for thos of us that want to just play for fun. Too all of you real players who got to 10th prestige without cheating or boosting, MAD PROPS TO YOU! And to all of you cheaters out there SUCK IT. I think life time bans for even first time offenders is fair get rid of them and let the real players have fun.
