I've just been playing a few interesting games of Hardcore Team Deathmatch on Modern Warfare 2! biggrin The majority of games have started with some modified physics, in the form of low friction and low gravity ...

Players were running at fast speeds, sliding across terrain, bumping off walls and generally being able to reach higher areas on maps. You could cross the entire Estate map within 5 seconds!

Supposedly the IW servers have been hacked (XBox 360 - Jan 9th/10th). Has anyone else been playing under these modified settings? hehe Anyone know what has happened?

Yup, had the same thing happen on a game of FFA in Favela earlier. Very weird running about the map at top speed!

Yep, same on Domination on Subbase - flying about all over the shop. I quit after about 10 seconds.

ETA - but to clarify, there are no servers. At least, not in the traditional sense (IW's are only used for lobbies). Games are hosted on an individual's XBox, so whoever was hosting is to blame, as they've hacked their copy.

Talking of which, is there any way to determine which of the players is hosting? I'd love to emit a choice epithet directed at the cheating s when it happens again biggrin

Not to mention report them.

I had one game of that earlier. Just left almost straight away. It isn't that fun. Not like 18 man rust free for all. biggrin


To see who the host is bring up the scoreboard and have a look at the connections. A lot of the time most people will be on 3 green bars. The host will always have 4 green bars. You can check at the very start of the game usually as the host connects first and everyone else is on a red dot.

Yep had it on a game just before I joined the 18 man Rust free for all, which felt like a glitch in itself hehe

yikes So...you mean as soon as we are unfortunate enough to enter such a game, everytime we then host we will also be having the same stupid 'physics' applied? If this is the case, this takes the hack/glitch biscuit - and I have put up with them so far, but this will drive me nuts!

Having said that...anyone online tonight? getmecoat

What I heard in a comment on a Youtube video showing it. That's why I put 'apparently' on the end.
