Wow, that's pretty serious if true.

Is it happening while people are using IWnet and the matchmaking? Or is this related to the dedicated servers?

 

Matchmaking. This is happening through IWnet official matchmaking service, and is unrelated to the cracked console or dedicated server hacks. Basically, if you go online in MW2 on PC you are exposing yourself. I feel bad for all the legit folk who gave IW the benefit of the doubt , paid for MW2 on PC hoping against hope it wasnt as bad as people were saying only to get slammed by a trojan and get all their game accounts hijacked.

 

 

People engaged in this behavior are particularly dangerous, more than pirates in fact.  Such individuals who do this believe they are acting in the name of justice and think that they can punish a company by doing this, to get it to change its ways.  What possibly could happen here is that, if this continues, Activision decides to no longer do a PC version of the game, and just focus on consoles.  And if the virus and trojan invaders have their way, is the next step to demand a company not implement anti-piracy measures?

Aren't we taking this a little bit too far? Why would Activision, the company of evil, no longer support PC versions of their most powerful franchise? Losing money is not an option.

There's always the single player!
