Infinity Ward Reveals Punishment for Infinite Warfare supply drop Cheaters

4.6
Users who exploited a bug in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare’s 12 Days of Winter giveaway to accumulate hundreds of rare items are today learning the full extent of their punishment.

In addition to being temporarily banned, an in-game message has informed affected users that they’ve also had their salvage and in-game keys reset to zero.



While it had already been reported that affected players would receive a 48-hour suspension in line with Activision’s Security and Enforcement Policy, it was unclear as to how else they would be impacted. Developer Infinity Ward’s actions are clearly meant to serve as a deterrent to future exploiters.

The bug in question, which led to the first-person shooter’s servers being temporarily taken offline last month, allowed users to open a reward box containing 20 keys indefinitely.

Completely deserved it, I'm happy to see that care about their games, well, the most recent ones at least.

I just like that they take care of their games while they matter.

Good to see them cheaters get banned, people just can't play legit and enjoy it I guess.

I can't believe they would blame the people that used this method you have to pay to win these supply drops and they should just let it slide.

Again it is a waste of time to do it on such a good game, it should be played properly.

NudiesPosted:

Like Supervisor said, it is a waste of time to do that

SupervisorPosted:

It's a waste of time to even cheat on a trashy gamr

TomPosted:

the taking away keys and salvage was enough but 48 ban is kind of harsh. It was their fault it was out for so long

Jayadelic I didn't know about this, and a 2 day ban is nothing!


Some people play everyday so this is a big deal for them


I dont know how someone can play IW for 2 days tbh...


Might be down to them liking the game? Maybe that is why ;) ;)

When I was a lot younger, and I played Modern Warfare 3. I remember there being a cheat, that allowed you to get unlimited tokens. And with the tokens you could purchase double xp, and I done the glitch to see if it worked. It ended up working, but I never got banned. I'm surprised that they found some of the cheaters and ended up banning them for this, because they never done anything to me when I done a similar cheat in MW3.
