MW2 Xbox live hacking?? Aimbots?

[mward69]

So I play warfare 2 a good bit. I know there are modded controllers {Example FAL full auto thing}
But 2 thinks happened in a open game the other night.
One was the colored text scroll across the screen in gameplay
The other which really pissed my off was a guy I THINK was using an aimbot or some sort.
I usually run and gun, and typically get a kill record of 10-15 kills to 8-10 deaths.....no this one guy was getting 15-20 with 2-3 deaths and he was running and gunning.....
I camped and did not fire to see if maybe he was just faster, he found me EVERY time, and got 2 kills on me through walls on highrise KNOWING I wasn't in the field of view as I JUST spawned. After I called him out on cheating, he left.....

Are their aimbot cheats?

the PS3 MW2 is fricking rife with that stuff - started a few months ago. I don't have an xbox so I'm not certain of that platform, but there are cheats out there for the game itself.

In one instance, at the _start_ of a match a guy on the opposite team called in 5 emergency airdrops before even a single kill was logged. I snuck around and snatched 10 of the drops and killed a bunch of them - that was awesome. I reeeeeally hate cheaters

On XBL I play WaW alot and sometimes there are guys FLYING around the maps! Some engage GOD mode and cant die. You should see the aimbot stuff, identifies, and shoots based on a variety of programmable criteria (distance, cover and other parameters...)

Sounds more like a wallhack, with aimbot he should be getting way more kills.

That's not aimbot, it's probably a wall hack or something that makes player names or models appear all the time and through walls. Aimbot locks your aim onto the opponent when they enter your line of sight. Some will even shoot for you. You rarely see them used because it's blatantly obvious. There are lots more people using wall hacks than what you notice. The guy you were playing was just obvious about it.

Unfortunately since you play console you can't do much about it. Just report him and move on. Personally I sold my copy of MW2 about this time last year when it was clear that the company behind it didn't have the manpower, care or resources to deal with all the hacking back then. Looks like they still don't.

Console FPS games have an aimbot built into them, but in a very discrete form. It's called aiming assist or something. When you look near a target your crosshair will lock onto them briefly. That's to make up for the limitations of the controller. Otherwise it would be too difficult to play because the d pad and joysticks are not very suited for precision aiming.
