Infinity Ward taking on PS3 hackers

Those using hacks to exploit the online component of Modern Warfare 2 are on borrowed time, according to the game’s developer Infinity Ward.

Last week Activision warned that it might be forced to withdraw online support for its Call of Duty games on the PlayStation Network unless Sony moves to address the problems being created by the recent growth in PS3 hacking.

"I just left a security meeting with the coders here at Infinity Ward where we discussed a lot of solutions," Infinity Ward’s creative strategist Robert Bowling stated on the IW forums.

"I feel good about the meeting, but of course I can’t go into detail on the possible solutions we discussed as we don’t want to give out any information that could potentially hinder the security any further.

"The key factor I want you to know is, that while any update takes time, we are looking to make the process as quick as possible and nothing is being left unattended."
