MW2 Prestige Cheaters To be Suspended
It’s a shame that Modern Warfare 2 has been rife with hackers, glitchers, cheaters, boosters, mods, and all sorts of unscrupulous goings-on virtually since release. Even worse is the fact that nothing seems to be done about it by the powers that be (a patch that takes weeks to be certified just leaves the problems to fester).
One problem that has been prevalent is modded ‘10th Prestige Lobbies’ which enables users who join one of these special lobbies to get an enormous amount of points-per-kill and reach 10th prestige within a matter of a few games.
Well, this news from XBOX Live head of Policy and Enforcement, Stephen Toulouse AKA ‘The Pro’, is music to our ears. In a post on the official Xbox forums The Pro addresses the cheaters with a clear message that people who have obtained prestige in Modern Warfare 2 illegitimately, will be given suspensions from Xbox Live. The guys running these lobbies will be permanently banned.
The Pro – “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.
p.s., it doesn’t matter if you gained 10th prestige, 2nd, or 1st: illegitimate gameplay = suspension”
That’s awesome news in many people’s books. It may also stop the spam 10th prestige lobby invite threads we keep getting on the forums (and swiftly deleting I might add) and over Xbox Live.
Maybe the fact that this guy admits to getting 10th prestige in a modded lobby and swiftly gets suspended shows that Microsoft are serious about clearing up Modern Warfare 2.
If you get invited to a modded lobby over Xbox Live be sure to report the user and lets wait and see if the cheaters start dropping from the system.

@a father, unfortunately things like that happen, it is as if your son was talking to strangers. You are quite lucky though becuase qnother thing people like that do is ask for your password so they can make you prestige, when they do this they can steal your xbox points and maybe money ( I don’t fully know due to the fact I have a ps3 and they are safer). On ps3 mw2 there are also alot of 10th prestigers that clearly hacked but I myself ha e never seen any body do the care package glitch!! I know if can be done becuz iv seen it being done on utube, no, but the annoying thing I often see is flashbang boosting and claymore boosting. There Is a glitch (not a hack) where you can shoot won flashbangs and ti’s etc. The thing I now enjoy is killing nuke boosters becuz I know where they hide’!! It’s all the places you wudnt normally go!! Simples!! But I just think to myself, killing nuke oosters is practicly a way of me boosting my score and kills. So what’s the point playing the game after you’ve all said. Boosting is bad. Get what I mean? Owning everyone in a game is basicly boosting to you guys. I guess some of us on here are just good at the game…

I say leave them in for a number of reasons.
1. There’s nothing nicer then kicking there arse and proving in every game they are cheats (these fools normally end up at the bottom of the team every game anyway)
2. It will soon dawn on them that they have nothing left to get now they are at the very top with no where to go.
Already we are seeing rank 3,4,5,6 in a lot of games telling me they are already getting board and starting new profiles so they can rank up again.

@mitchell865, before you talk smack you should learn how to type and speak english before you talk about brain capacity, dip****. It’s affecting, not effecting. And it doesn’t make the game any fun when you cheat. You suck so bad you have to cheat.
