    You still have to buy it.

    This trash talker (I think) was probably confusing stories about MW2 (CoD6) the PC version is full of hacked servers, that level you up when you join them) & making stuff up to frighten your child.
    I agree about the age restrictions though, it's full of teenager using the N, F & C word all the time (that's when there not calling ppl gay)
  • Hi all

    Thanks for the comments. This wasn't supposed to end up a moral argument. Basically, I am the parent and I will decide what's right and wrong. I know kids that drink, smoke, swear and have sex at 14 - 15 etc, but I don't go banging on their door and taking this issue up with their parents.

    Also, I am not worried about the bullying etc. I started the topic to see if it was actually technically possible what the kid was saying.


    SO, BACK TO THE TOPIC IN QUESTION AND PLEASE NO MORE MORAL ARGUMENTS..............



    Yes, my son used the word prestige. He said "The kid is able to Hack you and he has proved this because the kid has now got himself a massive prestige score which is miles higher than you are ALLOWED to get". My son went on "He has got a prestige score really high and he hardly ever plays it. It's because he can hack in and make his OWN prestige really high and build up his own score and he can also put anyones prestige down that he wants"

    Again, I'm not concerned about the bullying etc (School boy stuff), I just wanted to know if what the kid was saying was technically possible.

    Thanks

    Whilst it is not possible to Hack in to someones account without passwords etc it IS POSSIBLE to use a hack to increase your prestige.

    What the other kid is doing is telling him that because he has a high prestige level he can hack his account when in actual fact all it means is that he has hacked his OWN ACCOUNT.

    The other kid is obviously a loser and probably can't even play the game very well as he got there through cheating. He is probably upset that your kid killed him.

    Any wonder why we are in the state we are in now?
    Do I want it? ......Do I need it? ......What would happen if I don't buy it??????

    Main question
    Hi all

    I was going to buy my son the latest Call Of Duty (Black Ops) for his PS3 when it comes out in November. However, after being totally addicted to C.O.D 4 for months my son has suddenly gone off C.O.D now, saying....

    "This kid called **** says he can hack into my account so there's no point in playing anymore. He said he's gonna put a virus on my machine and strip me of my level"

    I told him I'm sure a 12 year old kid couldn't outwit Sony and do such a thing and that I doubted this kid was telling the truth. However, my son went on

    "He can do it. He has a piece of software that makes him up to level 1000 etc and the same software can strip you of your level and put you back down. He can hack your C.O.D account"

    When I say Level, I can't remember the exact word he used in place of Level.

    Surely this is not true? Is it?

    Correct answer:

    just to throw a spanner in the works but it is possible to unintentionally join a hacked lobby, and without a certain password your stats get reset, this applies to COD MW2 not sure if it possible in COD4. This has nothing to do with the PSN account though which i doubt he can hack


    Think the persons PSN name is Mrcodes, and he charges £5 to get your stats back - big thread here about it


    http://www.avforums.com/forums/call-duty-cod-ps3/1328702-sad-day-ps3-mw2-hacked.html

    Hacked lobbies are a pain. Don't join them as the hosts will simply take money from those and help them and sucker others in.

    Mrcodes 's PSN list is full too.

    You can hack your own and other peoples prestiges in MW2 if you have the knowhow.

    As for PSN ID stealing...can't comment.
