As we saw yesterday, the constant suspicion of cheating enrages many players leading to all kinds of abuse and accusations which in turn make the game on the whole a hostile place to play - especially for young kids. Whatever the reason Activision and the developers chose to stay with matchmaking on PC, it would be helpful if they helped players manage the situation by allowing votes to kick blatant offenders. The list of available exploits is huge: Aimbot

The hacks are all available for sale and while the site claims they're undetectable, opposing players tend to notice when one player has a 10:1 ratio on everyone else. Sites exist saying what cheats are available for previous Call of Duty games but the depressing list is huge. These mods should appear on the unranked MW3 dedicated servers and will benefit from not giving players actual XP - which can be very high. One mod rolled a dice every time you spawned which gave you either a (potentially-massive) power-up or a (potentially-massive) burden. These occasionally appeared in MW2 and allowed for highly-variable gameplay. Occasionally, however, it should be noted that some hacks can be incredibly entertaining - when they become mods. Other popular MW2 hacks allowed cheats to see and fire through walls. The easiest solution here is to hit 'Prestige' and start again. This can occur whether you want it to or not - if you inadvertently appear in a hacked lobby. Other hacks we can expect to see include the instant 'maximum level promotion hack'. However, hacks plagued MW2 and look set to affect the trust of MW3 players already. Security from hackers has been a major excuse by the developers for not having proper, ranked dedicated servers. Previous advice has been to report people to Steam, but Steam is deluged with accusations, coming from people who confuse lag for cheating and don't trust anyone who displays signs of great skill. The released video shows a player score over 100 kills with no deaths: Furthermore, finishing a game and changing lobby all too often dumps you right back in the same place with the same person - they can't be got rid of. With no server admins or server rules, cheats (and other types of freaks) can't be kicked or banned. The problem is, due to MW3's matchmaking system, as with its predecessor, once such a player appears, it's nigh on impossible to get rid of them.

All three are generally despised in gaming communities.

They are typically used by those wanting to rank up quickly (and unlock items), trolls who just love to annoy people and scumbag cheats who struggle to function in life. Similar hacks appeared for the game's predecessor, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The aimbot package makes it impossible to miss and allows cheats to annihilate all comers and make games unplayable. To absolutely nobody's surprise, the first Modern Warfare 3 hack (for the PC version) is now in the wild.
