14 DAY TRIAL // Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was one of the biggest titles to appear at the end of 2007, introducing at the same time a new prestige and critical acclaim for the first-person shooter, which hadn't really brought the house down in terms of originality up until then.
The team at Infinity Ward created a solid experience set in modern times, which consisted of both an intriguing and fast-paced single-player campaign, but also a top-notch multiplayer mode that still holds the attention of gamers after two years since its release.
But even though the game is still being actively played by a lot of people, especially on the Xbox 360, cheaters are also present, despite the efforts of moderators and administrators who “hunt” them down. Now, though, it seems that Infinity Ward has its sights set on these cheaters, as Robert Bowling, an employee at the studio, has revealed, through a recent Twitter post, that a patch will soon be released for CoD 4 in order to eliminate cheaters.
“A patch is in the works to eliminate the cheaters in COD4 on Xbox360,” Bowling said and also revealed that it was currently going through Microsoft's process of certification and that it would appear in the following weeks. He concluded by adding that the days of CoD 4 cheaters “are numbered.”
Hopefully, we will receive a concrete changelog or at least a few details about this patch in order to find out just what problems will be addressed and what things will be made better by it. But until Infinity Ward will shed some “official” light on the subject, it's nice to hear that cheaters will, indeed, get what they deserve for ruining the experience of other players in online matches.
