It took long enough, but the the long arm of the law is finally falling upon those players out there intent on cheating the Modern Warfare 2 system. Though, it'll be a while until the game is perfectly playable, it seems. Patches are something we can get used to for this game. The Xbox forums yesterday saw an update from a member of the LIVE team, aimed directly at those who continue to exploit MW2's Prestige system, obtaining rank anyway other than through hard work and long hours. In short: suspensions have been and are being handed out. If you've obtained the sought-after online position fairly, though, you have nothing to worry about.
"Attention MW2 cheaters:
(and you know who you are)
People who have obtained prestige illegitimately, will be given suspensions. People soliciting other people to gain prestige (whether for free, or for points) will be permanently suspended.
To all those users who are attempting to play MW2 without cheating, please have faith. Hang in there, because the cheaters are being caught and the game will be patched."
Victory. That's one small step on the road to better experiences on the near-future battlefield. Until Battlefield: Bad Company 2, anyway. Nice work, Microsoft and Infinity Ward. Now get on that netcode, please.
