COD Modern Warfare hackers ruin my weekend

Flying soldiers, unlimited ammo, and walking through walls are results of a hack on COD4 Modern Warfare that someone decided to explain how to do in youtube tutorials. As of Friday night (july 31) there was not a single online match available that didnt have 2 or 3 of these console kiddies flying around ruining the game. I get it. Infuriated people are funny. I'm no stranger to the amusement that comes from annoying the everliving fuck out of other people so I don't really blame the "hackers" for doing it. I wont even blame Infinity Ward for whatever made them think allowing a client side injection scenario to exist. I do however want IW to be embarrassed enough about this to fix it. According to their twitter account, they are investigating and possibly preparing a patch which is great but for some reason they havent even acknowledged the incident on their own home site which is chock full of up to the minute information about the upcoming release of modern warfare 2.

I dont have or want a twitter account and I cant help but worry that if they didnt make this announcement on their official website that it might not be an official announcement. Make no mistake IW. It is your responsibility to fix this problem. While your at it, fix the handful of other problems that we've been pretending not to notice.

There are tons of things in COD4 that piss me right off.

For example, I never should have to pay for a game that instantly loads a map of an ongoing game with 10 seconds remaining just to find out that I'm on the losing team and will instantly get a demerit on my record, in addition to wasting my god damn time. If you want to put me in an ongoing game, fine. Just tell me the score and how much time is remaining so I can at least choose whether to join it.

And another fucking thing, when you put me in a countdown for a map that I don't want to play (or with people I don't want to play with), don't put me RIGHT back into that same server when I exit and try to join a new game. Pick another god damn server. I've spent an entire 40 seconds (about the intermission time) exiting and rejoining hoping to get another server until finally I take the shitty disc out and play something else.

And ANOTHER fucking thing, don't make the intermission time 42 god damn seconds. If we wanted to read Moby Dick in between matches, we wouldn't be playing your stupid game. If you're going to make us wait that long, at LEAST give us the option of bypassing the wait time by allowing people to vote on whether to play the map instantly in the same way as you vote on a map. Majority rules. If more people want to play now than later, then we play now.

AND ANOTHER THING, YOU FUCKS, let us vote on a map for each map presented. I don't want to play Bloc. Nobody does. So when we vote off Wet Works because fuck Wet Works and the grenade fest that ensues which makes me just sit still for the first minute and a half until everyone's grenades have exploded, don't put up Bloc like you're fucking Jesus riding on a dinosaur coming to save the day and then not give us a choice to shitcan that map as well.

AND ANOTHER FUCK FUCK ASS, nerf all grenades for the first 30 seconds. At least then people would want to move around before throwing them from across the map like we're all a bunch of monkeys flinging our feces at each other.

And finally, the only reason you CAN throw them from across the map is because your maps are the size of a onesie. Give us enough room to scratch our balls a little bit and I'll play your games more.

Oh yeah, and let me mute everyone while in the lobby. I don't want to hear your asthma wheezing or your crying Spanish-speaking baby while I wait.

yeah. i really hope they got a little pragmatic with the server / host functionality in MW2. As for the grenade throwers. i could care less. i never get killed by the grenade fest and i almost always get a kill or 2 on them. and on certain maps when idiots clump together...ahhhh, nothing like calling in a UAV in the first 10 seconds of a match.
