Despite SSBB troubles, and whatever the haters may say the Wii has had many excellent and flawless online games.  

However FPS's have recently been a sore spot because of hackers.   The Conduit's great (when it didn't crash) multiplayer was ruined by hackers and so was CoD:WaW  (can't speak for Reflex, never played it).

Now reports are already coming in about hackers messing up Goldeneye.

Recently Nintendo agreed to allow publishers to patch online games and CoD:BO and Conduit 2 will both be doing that to combat hackers but for whatever reason, Activision didn't seem to deem it necessary for Goldeneye despite multiplayer being it's main selling point.  (Unless they announced that when I wasn't looking)

Has anyone seen evidence of hacking?

Personally, I've been going back and forth on whether to get Goldeneye or CoD:BO.  Both had some great features I like.  If Goldeneye's online is already compromised and there's no patching then it's lost value to me.  That'd give CoD:Bo the nod instead.    I'll still get Goldeneye for the single player and local split-screen but after the price drops, and probably after I get Conduit 2 as well.    This is very disappointing to me, as I was excited for this game as it's more up my alley than CoD.   Hopefully I'm wrong and it's patchable, otherwise this could really hurt sales.

Aww man, good thing I didn't intend to buy it. But I might get it for Christmas as it is on my wish list. Luckily I have a 360 to do my online shooting on. Halo isn't overwhelmed by hackers! I hope Nintendo or Activision patch up the holes before the hackers ruin the game for everyone.

This slightly impedes my hype for it.

I haven't seen any hackers yet. Hopefully it doesn't get too out of control like The Conduit.

Reflex has it's fair share of hackers too, but it's not very serious.

Can Nintendo ban those gamers?, that's some kind of solution.

Couldn't hackers find a way around a ban? I mean they can hack into the game and change even the leaderboards it seems Nintendo's consoles are very easy to hack. I mean I remember when getting Prime on DS and people hacked that almost instantaneously.

Man their aren't that many hackers on Live. Nintendo needs to step up online security!

True they can find a work around but it will mean more trouble so it will deter the "light" hackers those that use the easy way to do it and don't really know about the topic. The idea its not to squash the hackers entirely but to reduce the number to manageable numbers, so the other players don't leave the game.

So far I've only seen experience point hacks nothing in game, you can tell who used the experience point hacks by looking at the records, its obvious 4 people hacked their games and will likely be wiped off soon.

-edit- oh so they're using the Reflex system where if a hacker uses a hack it unlocks it for everyone, it actually reduces the number of hackers that showed up on Reflex immensely, no real reason to hack if they can't have an advantage, just wanting to screw around.

I'd seen that on WaW too, where everyone had the hack.  Thought it was the hacker's intention, but occurred to me it might be some kind of anti-hack device.   Still, took away from the game.   If it's not too bad I'll still consider getting the game (full price).

Already! I'm still going to get the game, maybe next week.
