Call of Duty: Ghost hackers explain their motives
The cat is out of the bag or should I should I say somebody let the dogs out. Ahem most gamers, either fans or haters, know that Call of Duty: Ghosts is the latest installment of the ongoing money train that is the Call of duty franchise.
The eagerly anticipated game was just released current gen (PlayStation 3 & Xbox360), and will also be available on next-gen consoles. November 5th marks the day that CoD: Ghosts can officially be bought in stores, and I assume many a fan already have their copy.
It now seems developer Infinity Ward has a problem on its hands because supposedly the games has already been hacked and played online on PlayStation 3’s, before it even was released.
I remember back when CoD: Modern Warfare 2 got hacked on PS3 and the game became virtually unplayable for me. Not that the game wasn’t already full of cheaters, remember how players used to abuse the tactical insertion to get quick kills. The fact what bothered me most was the lack of fixes provided by Sony and Infinity Ward. I am not sure who I should point a finger at but for I as a consumer felt left out in the cold. I paid good money for my copy and couldn’t enjoy the game anymore.
Anyhow, YouTube was so kind to provide us with a clash between party A) who I assume is a self-righteous reviewer in possession of a (legit early) copy of the game and party B) a cocky group of hackers.
Captain self-righteous feels the need to “name drop” higher ups in the chain of command at Infinity ward and the Hacker Crew responds by threatening to destroy his router. In-between what at some point became a *** contest the hackers manage to explain how they hacked an at that point unreleased game and played it online on their PlayStation 3’s.
Who do you agree with team hack or team reviewer? You can show your support for this kind of article by sharing through the usual social suspects; aka Google+ Twitter Facebook ect. You can contact me directly on twitter @italkgame or leave a comment below.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
all hackers need to die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not all hackers make harm, some like people like wololo want to hack a console so it can be the best it can be like putting on homebrews.
A story talking about YouTube drama, but no YouTube videos O.o
Doh! My bad, I messed up when I published the article! Fixed now
The video was funny, especially how silly it got, just a note though, its in their 360’s, not PS3’s :p
Judging by this article, you’ve never seen a Minnesota Burns video before.
He’s a fail troll notorious for faking videos, much like the one you linked.
I did not write the article so I assume you do not mean “me” when you say “you”, but indeed, I didn’t know.
“Doh! My bad, I messed up when I published the article! Fixed now”
Yeah, that confused me.
@Bulshiters:
When you can submit a grammatically correct post with proper punctuation, then we’ll have a discussion about intelligence. Otherwise, I shall not waste my time conversing with a hypocrite that doesn’t even know how to spell “bullshitter” properly before using it as a display name.
Also, your playground-grade insults do not affect a seasoned troll such as myself, but good for you; you took the initiative and tried regardless. A truly excellent display of low-level intelligence if I ever did see one.
ps. MJ is scary
The heck is MJ?
nvm its Micheal Jackson -_-
Should I feel old for knowing what “MJ” means without even having to think about it?
I allways think of Instantly Micheal Jackson then
Michael Jordan 😀 Either or.
I blame news/media and Ice Cube’s song “It Was a Good Day”.
Flashed console = xbox 360, not ps3
RGH = xbox 360 as well
He’s playing on xbox 360 not ps3
I agree with everything from both parties. Moot argument.
All they did was use an XP hack on their lobby and play the game a lil early. As for the dude knowing someones email, thats *** threats. Same for the “hackers” threatening to destroy his/their routers.
In the end we have options, play with hacks in your own lobby with your own friends who own a modded system. OR play a retail copy on a regular *** lobby.
Its only a problem if ppl abuse the systey, use aimbots in regular lobbies just to *** ppl off. ETC.
What’s stupid is that people can download a game and play it online before its release date, but I can download a game, never play any games online, and have my account banned while my ps3 hasn’t been turned on in months because I’m away in Japan. Why don’t people actually playing pirated games online get banned?
They do but thats what alt accounts and spare KV come in
lol PS Fan boys don’t realize that 360 Games are on the underground scene a few weeks before release usually and people download them and play. They don’t get in trouble because people like Minnesotaburns gets retail copies early because every 12 year old watches his YouTube videos even though they are dumb troll videos.
Did the *** that posted this article not realize the party console and the voice mail console were Xbox Dashboard??? Do you even have a console bro????
are you ***? xp hack??? they burned the game and played it online… no big deal…
No wonder you *** are so far from hacking the Vita.. you don’t know that this is only xbox360 playing iso online just like it has been for 6 years now…
You sound pretty arrogant for someone who can’t make the difference between a blogger and a hacker.
These are not hackers, these are scripties; Fact that someone is “claiming” he will break the router is also pretty lame, since allot routers are breakable (as in you can get in) but to “destroy” them, that’s a different story;
Honestly, the term hackers here is not how “real” hacking looks; This is how drama boys look. If you wane get the motives go ask some real hackers who are around on the board;
Is it just me or is that video not available anymore?
Anyway cod ghosts got some really bad critics on metacritic so I gonna pass on that.
Maybe in a year when steam offers a sale… but right now no interest in any cod game.
Some people just want to watch the world burn!
I THINK HE WAS MAD CUS HE FELT SPECIAL tht he had a ligit copy and come to find out these guys had played it long enughf to hack it/ its not really fun for them after a week either but if you get into a modded lobby all i can say is have some fun or back out/ not run and tell it, takes 2 seconds to hit b
This is why I never play ghost until it was released I been had the game and mods but I’m not in to putting myself out there like that I never play with the mods online just Campaign mode just like gta 5 I been had it and the mods but I never try online its not any fun.
they didn’t sound cocky… they were friendly and happy to answer questions..
until the guy asking the questions started to get cocky
Assuming it -is- a real video..I’m all for the hackers, honestly. Sure, they got the game early (again, assuming it’s real), and sure they’re using a hacked lobby for exp..But really, they didn’t do anything to anyone yet.
We all can assume and ‘know’ they will, because to most people, those who do unscrupulous things are automatically branded as bad guys in our moral-based society, but at this point it’s little more than a witch hunt.
I mean, heck, even the video guy has the game already. So, he’s also being morally unacceptable by breaking the street date and “ruining it for everyone else” by playing early. Yet, this guy gets high-horsed for using a modded lobby, in a game that’s not even released yet, to a guy who hasn’t harmed -anyone- yet? He even said to the guy ‘you can leave if you don’t want to be a part of it.’ You don’t have to partake in the hacking, and likewise it doesn’t harm you because he’s doing it somewhere in a place you’ll never run into.
heck, honestly? These kinds of people can be -helpful-, stupid as that may sound to some people. Because they’re hacking the game before it’s even out, they’re: A. finding useful information for websites that like knowing what level you unlock this or that, what challenges are unlocked etc etc. and B. finding glitches which can later be prevented, before the game even goes live.
No, to me, the real asshat is the guy who made the video and started talking ***. Sure, they were cheating. They weren’t harming anyone, because the game *isn’t even out yet*. Yet this guy (again, assuming it’s real) just goes all ‘well i know daddy who works at nintendo and he’s going to get you in trouble’. *** talking begets *** talking. Fire unto fire.
