MW2 Patch 1.12 LIVE, Does it stop Hackers?

9:32 am in Infinity Ward, Modern Warfare 2, NEWS, PS3 by BuckeyeTC

We’ve been hearing about the upcoming security patch 1.12 for Modern Warfare 2 for what seems like forever. Well……..It’s here and live……at least on PS3 (other platforms soon). As you well know, MW2 has been riddled with hackers running a muck, at least on the PS3, rendering the game pretty much unplayable. I downloaded the patch (ALL 17 Megabytes of it) to check it out and see if it actually works. I played roughly for about 40 minutes or so and NOT ONE TIME did get thrown into a hacked lobby. :) So one can assume that this lil patch fixed it (at least for now) I will say this; however, that it is surprising (VERY SURPRISING) to me that it took SOOOoooo long for IW to come out with a fix for this issue and it was only 17MB. Whew! That must’ve been some really tough “Coding” there, huh? MONTHS of creating it, and forever in the “QA” process…..for 17MB, Really? At any rate, (Sorry to sound cynical here, just hard not to be) the game did seem to me to be quite playable and just as enjoyable as before (with exception of Danger Close….GRRRRR) BUT!!! I have also seen on various forums/Youtube/etc. That there is a EASY work around 1.12 that looks easier than blowing your nose. So stand by and we’ll see how long this thing lasts ***Still Cynical***
