FourZeroTwo and Infinity Ward issue Bans!

4.4
As of 30 minutes ago, bans were handed out to all (or most?) of those who abused the Prestige Token Exploit. This info was released on the twitter page @fourzerotwo. Don't say we didn't tell you so.
This is a direct quote:
"Witness as the #MW3 ban hammer falleth. Prestige Token exploiters banned, stat reset & removed from leaderboards."
Please take a vow of silence for all those Gamertags that got banned for 2 days.

I dont think they should ban people and reset they should just fix the problem its there fault they are the ones who made the game. We making it better for them we finding all these glitches they should learn from past call of duty games. Honestly the people who bybass the tu and are able to mod the game could make a better game then them.

Not to sound like an ass, but even if it's an exploited glitch, it still shouldn't be taken lightly, it may be IW's fault, BUT there's always that one person sitting at home with their 360 and PC linked up to try and find ways to alter the game play, could take hours, could take days! HOWEVER, once such a thing is found and exploited to such a degree it's not IW's fault! It's your fault for being the certain people who waste half your life trying to cheat on games and it's your fault that most other people who followed you got banned! So don't throw this on a company that's just trying to make things right and when all the players want to do is find whats wrong and make the matters worse! Get your focus straight before confronting such bold situations!

TehNomming Dear Activision/Infinity Ward/Robert Bowling,

Honestly what you are doing is not right. If a friend comes up to you and says, "Hey man, I know how to get unlimited prestige tokens, it only takes about 5 minuets!" You're gonna f*cking take the offer. People would use this glitch/exploit to their advantage, just like the javelin/care package glitch in MW2. Nobody got the ban hammer from that, people would just keep doing it to use it to their advantage to do better in the game. Just like this glitch, so why does it have to be different then any of the others, why can't you just patch it and that be the end of it. Instead of resetting all of us completely, swinging the ban hammer, and consider us all cheaters when it's your game that you f*cked up. YOU didn't test this. Of course people are gonna use this glitch, don't be f*cking stubborn. The fact that you are doing this when it is really your fault disgusts me. It ruins my taste for the Call of Duty series. I am never going to buy another COD again if I use a fun little glitch, that doesn't affect my gameplay whatsoever because this game is "balanced and every gun has equal power." You guys at Infinity Ward think your doing something good for the Call of Duty community, you're not, you're banning a good fraction of the community because of YOU'RE game YOU created, therefore YOU created the glitch, and this whole exploit is YOU'RE fault. Of course people are going to do it. You're acting like a bunch of fools at Infinity Ward, you need to chill out realize this is your mistake and you need to patch, not BAN a fraction of the community and think this mistake will go away, no it won't, it will stay with us forever and it will stay with you forever because YOU F*CKED UP YOUR OWN GAME. Consider what your doing. Don't act like my facts are wrong just because your leader of a big company, all my statements above are correct and there is pure evidence to prove it. You're ruining the series. Just. Consider.

- Mitch B.

Monster9969 I laughed at my ban. I went and Twitter and thanked Robert Bowling personally. I told him when i came back that I was going straight to 10th prestige level 80. With no stops in the middle. Who cares if they ban you? Its the worst Modern Warfare of the series. Geez. I just love the fact that someone cared enough about little ole me to do something about it.

>implying you care since you gave them money
you're the loser here bro


No ****. Im implying my balls are bigger than yours. I go straight to the source. I just dont give a rats ****. Im only pissed at 14 year olds trying to piss me off. Like you. I thought the ban was hilarious.


Grow up. Some sort of respect for other people you have there, eh?
Also, It's your opinion if it's a bad game or not. Doesn't mean it is. - Only saying that because you didn't state that it was only just your opinion, and not trying to prove everyone wrong or something.


Grow up? Hahaha I'm old enough to be your dad. **** you eh eh eh eh. Dumbass canadian. I admit my guilt. You are a mindless ****. Read what i said. I laughed at my bann. I deserve what i got. Its a **** game. I'll just get there quicker this time. No big deal. Yes. The game is horrible. **** off punk.

Did i know about this glitch when it first surfaced? Yes. Did i try and take advantage of it? HELL NO!!! Why? Cuz i have a brain and realized that i could possibly get banned for this. Good job Infinity ward/activision/sledgehammer games. Ban all the useless scrubs who cant earn their cod stripes the right way.

they didnt even ban all people who did it. my friend had -980 tokens and he beat me to 10th and he is terrible at cod and i have a 5 kd so i got my whole friends list to report him but he did this glitch that made him go from -980 tokens to 0 and he didnt get banned today. so i guess he gets to keep all of his 20 days of double xp/ gun xp and this glitch came out right around new years so fu iw u fail and to all people who play mw3. when you get to 10th cod is so boring and unfun so buy a game to play when u get bored with cod like skyrim or a good single player game
