No some group with Teknogod has release a MP-crack and COOP-Crack

They work for both the pirated version downloaded from torrents and the steam version we all bought for 60$. Only the pirated version using this crack gets to play with all of us for the time being because they have a space in their name. like "Scotty TG" If you see anyone in game with a space its prolly cause they are using a downloaded copy and getting to rank up and have as much fun as you, just doing it for cheaper.

The MP crack also unlocks the console which is allowing people to change values in game like gravity/ammo/spawn/kick etc... and actually unlocked the "lean" feature which was locked for the PC cause console version didnt have it and Activision wanted to be fair to all platforms. For now people are using XFire and similar tools to host somewhat dedicated games, host just leaves the game running on their high bandwidth connection. The Teknogod group says they are VERY close to being able to allow people to host dedicated servers and should be released by the end of THIS week, allowing both the legit steam copies and the pirated copies to play on them.

Since XP is still client side the pirated copiers also get to rank up just like us and play in our ranked match servers... atleast till they fix it where since they have a space in their name they can play.

I for one am pissed the pirated players are having more fun than I am after I dished out 60$ for this game. Its only been a week and one sole modding community has unlocked a majority of features and also giving us dedicated servers. CANT wait to see the IW response to that.

*Also side note... people are still digging through code and right now they have found like 7 multiplayer maps that arent unlocked but have been textured and are fully functional. They are trying to figure out how to unpack it and add it to the map rotations that are currently going.

HUGE backlash from the PC community.

Have yall read about the security threat IW.net has caused with the NAT errors?

People are turning on UPNP feature on their router. Allowing all kinds of malicious security holes to be exploited. Few script kiddies probing your IPs for holes because you opened it so you wouldnt get the NAT error in MW2.

How do they get your IP? Well since IW.net is P2P when playing a game the hacker essentially netstat's and saves all your IPs, runs his scripts to find out who has enabled UPNP and who doesnt update their firmware and what not. Huge security hole and going to be very dangerous how that plays out. IW.net telling people to enable UPNP is a horrible idea.
