Call of Duty Black Ops

It’s fair to say that hack prevention isn’t exactly Infinity Ward’s forte. The developer’s hugely-popular FPS Modern Warfare 2 has been exploited to the nth degree since it launched almost a year ago. We’ve stumbled into modded lobbies, we’ve witnessed players geo-glitching – we’ve even played the hidden multiplayer mode Global Thermonuclear War, and the game’s online leaderboards are crammed with unattainable kill/death ratios, ridiculous high scores and page after page of falsely-earned level 70 10th Prestige ranks.

With Call of Duty: Black Ops fast approaching, the CoD community is rightfully worried that history might repeat itself. Not on Josh Olin’s watch...

As per a recent tweet by Treyarch’s Community Manager, the game’s leaderboards will be moderated, and players caught hacking will be banned from online multiplayer:

Tweet - Josh Olin, 13 SEPT

Expect no sympathy. Expect no leniency. The Second Chance perk won’t work here; try to cheat the system and you’ll pay the price. Don’t say he didn’t warn you...

You have a gift of writing good articles, attention grabbing content. I myself am a blogger and want to improve this slowly too.

I don't think clan hacks do any harm either Grey, though hacking's hacking I guess from Treyarch's point of view. My advice would be leave everything alone :)

Does this include Clan Tag hacks? I mean it's technically a hack but, you don't get any advantage from it whatsoever. It's just putting in characters that aren't normally available. What do you think?
