Infinity Ward Fights Against Modern Warfare 2 Cheaters 203

Posted by Soulskill on Tuesday December 01, 2009 @07:56AM from the be-careful-they-cheat dept.

Faithbleed writes "IW's Robert Bowling reports on his twitter account that Infinity Ward is giving 2,500 Modern Warfare 2 cheaters the boot. The news comes as the war between IW and MW2's fans rages over the decision to go with IWnet hosting instead of dedicated servers. Unhappy players were quick to come up with hacks that would allow their own servers and various other changes." Despite the dedicated-server complaints, Modern Warfare 2 has sold ridiculously well.

The project is a continuation from last year when some other Cornell grad students broke the altitude record. The progress of the team can be tracked via their Twitter feed or by monitoring their APRS beacons. For all the HAMs out there, downlinks are available on a 30m wavelength, too."

Blockbuster has a 2-day turnaround for me...although I live just outside the DC metro area and the distro center is only about 40 miles away.

Last month I went through 15 movies, which could've cost me $45-60 to rent locally (assuming I could even find that many movies worth watching amidst the rows upon rows of garbage), but instead was only $15.

I used to split Netflix with my roommates in school...but I have to say I went with BB on my own because of the price and the two free movie/game local rental coupons per month.
