Make custom classes with the max level account, then back out to main menu & go back into the class menu with the other controller on the low level account. Everything you picked, including perks would be unlocked permanently until your next prestige!

3:05, Here's the thing about that: they didn't tell the entire truth. They switched to a hybrid setup, not fully dedicated servers. They even publicly admitted that later on, making the sale of the game a false pretense condition. They got away with it too. Even now, in 2024, people can still lag switch in CoD. Some have even accomplished making software that does it, and all the cheater has to do is set a macro on their controls to activate it. Can't tell the fanboys that though, and that makes for an incredibly frustrating discussion.

The Barrett 50 in mw2 also was hilarious as it shot so fast the gun would empty the whole magazine and move across the screen in less than a second. When they tried implementing fixes and slowing fire rates with later games, jitter came out which iirc slammed the reload button while shooting, allowing for full auto again on burst and even pump shot guns. (Blackops 1) Then in blackops 2 you could make burst fire weapons full auto, just by holding down fire and flicking your mouse wheel to constantly change weapons while still firing, making RK5s and the like full auto, no mod required.

A few related things I’ve highlighted Ricochet anti cheat is meant to detect hack/mod tools and automatically ban you, it also runs off player reports too. So if several people report you for being sus or just outright good at the game after a certain amount of reports it will ricochet you into a shadow ban you. It will kick you out of your current game and show everyone in the game the ricochet logo so they’re going to think you’re cheating. You’re then in a shadow ban lobby until it gets reviewed, normally takes a few weeks until you’re then permanently banned or go back into normal lobbies with everyone.

I remember a guy in like 2011-2012 giving me a Nuke in a care package infection for MW2, it made so I had a 100% of getting a nuke in a care package, it was fun to mess around with for awhile especially if the enemy team was winning if I remember correctly it only worked for me or the person who had it. And there was also a way to make it so nobody else could get the care package. So I trolled so hard with that throwing care packages outside the map seeing everyone go for it because it had the nuke symbol above it. 😂

The modded Xbox 360 being shown upside down while standing is so funny to me

[@willkocher9283]

Bro is that chill asf through the fire and flames playing in the background?

[@stanknasty9168]

On mw2 the speed glitch would work for private match on ps3 and I remember being with people and using the map to launch ourselves out of the map, on Karachi the sprial stair case would ramp you on top of the roof in which you would jump out from the telephone pole, you could even find the old blacklot building out there. Same thing on bailout and skid row with speed ramping onto the fire escape. Spent so much time playing that with dudes I’ve never talked to since

I had a legit bug happen to me (twice!) in 360 WaW that would reset my profile back to level 1 with a pistol im every slot. Pistol for perks, pistol for grenades, pistol for everything. After that the the profile was permanently bugged where you couldn't use default items in create-a-class. The bug would happen if i went to search for a co-op campaign lobby then back out to the main menu. The only way to fix this was use a zombies mod menu to prestige my profile.

[@Bsidheq]

used to be into the halo content but i’m glad they have diversified but also have really unique topics

[@Hack.SignXx]

You have to be hosting the lobby for stuff like this. Which is a nightmare if you arent running your own server.

[@Slimjim2147]

I remember getting my hands on a rapid mod controller as a kid, I don't remember how exactly but a friend of mine got it. I even went as far to disassemble it and put the modded controller inside my cool custom 360 controller shell. I still have it to this day. Wonder if the rapid fire still works. Nowadays at least on pc, you can just enable turbo on your gamer mouse software and get rapid fire for free, although anti cheat is better at picking that up

[@noahkrause2835]

COD expert here. I'm currently at 2,556 hours between MW2, MW3 and BO6 (COD HQ) Xim was banned by Microsoft and Sony. Ricochet has done nothing to help cheaters. It actually made it worse because it advertised that cheating was a thing to people who didn't know cheating was that bad. I play on PS5. The amount of PC player I go against is crazy. BO6 Beta had cheaters. THE BETA!

[@OriginalT2APoptart]

At least the modern gave you 11th prestige in WaW. My younger brother got deranked to which he could only play Basic Training which you couldn’t find a match to level up to play the in the standard matchmaking pool.

[@noahpauley]

I ran into a glitched lobby on MW2 PS3 in 2020 where once I left the lobby it gave me max rank

[@rico1057]

The problem with hosted servers is is an inexperienced player who doesn't understand skills like map knowledge and pre-aiming will think that that's hacking and ban you

[@originaltturtles]

They brought back quickscoping in mw3 because it was a different developer

[@JPkilla8116]

I remember getting mod locked, all the time, but I never had turbo mods. I used to play paintball and could easily set off the mod detector. I then had to switch to smg.

[@xzs432]

i tried the beta for mw2 2022 and before i made it to the main menu, was on the setting the brightness setting, and my activision account got banned, then i saw reddit post where just having msi afterburner running caused bans, i previously had MW2019, Cold war, and vanguard just played against bots, never cheated on these, didn't think is was possible to because of improved security over the years, but now when i play cod i just play the older cods on steam in private match with bots, or just play cod mobile on my ipad.

[@Kenfuy]

man back in the waw and mw2 days wed make modded controllers by wiring into the rumble pack, having a good trigger finger ended up being most reliable but the barret spam was super fun

[@nasrinatiyeh]

I got console banned for queueing into an MW2 lobby. I didn't even have anything done to my rank or stats, but just the act of joining flagged me.

[@IIPetite]

Shadow banning innocent people is actually a thing and is why a lot of people stopped playing

[@Bug3ater2]

19:50 why is this music so oddly inspirational. I can't be the only one that hears Runaway from ye

[@thebearisradd]

The 10th Prestige in MW2 Lobbies typically weren’t automatic… You actually received enough XP to max the Prestige You were on with one kill, unlocking all the skins/camos (every challenge completed for every weapon) and got you to Level 70. You’d back out of the lobby, Prestige there as normal, get reinvited to the lobby and rinse/repeat 9 more times (or how ever many you preferred as I personally knew a lot of people who liked 9th prestige’s icon more than 10th prestige, myself included). If they upgraded them to just auto-10th prestige then hell yeah, sad I missed those. 😂

[@trevorwilliams1089]

Remember 11th prestige and how you could get a gold desert eagle 😂

[@DrMurdercock]

"pocket mercying" why does everything need a stupid label these days

[@ryandante898]

The G3 modded controllers in COD 4 still haunt me to this day.

[@CrimsoniteSP]

Cheating back in the day was almost respectable just because of the hoops people had to just through. I mean, it wasn't their fault a 2-hit kill semi-auto AR had 1200RPM. That and way back then, stuff like hacking was used for fun. I remember in MW3 someone would infect custom classes that was literally useless in online play, but with headshots only custom matches, these infected classes allowed you and friends to get outside the map. It was literally only used for exploration and nothing else. Or in MW2 someone would force everyone to use a sniper class and turn on anti-gravity. Like back in the day, it was just all in good fun.

[@kujokage1911]

24:50 this is what tipped the boat for me to quit cod i was going ham with the m16 on mw2 and because it was not the meta gun and i was shredding lobbies constantly i got disconnected from my match i was shredding after getting accused then my queue times were at minimum 5 minutes and 200-300ms connection and it was full of cheaters i haven’t played or bought a cod since minus pirating mwr for the h2m mod

[@tylermerciless]

Something I always found funny is that all of these cheaters are willing to take the time to mod/hack their way to success instead of taking the time to actually practice like the game intended 😂

[@53harka]

You forgot to talk about bo2 CODTV theater mode cheats

[@StarScream_47]

14:55 what a dumb AF question. How can you not immediately recognize the glaring fact that you have 0 cover in every direction whatsoever when on top of the wire. "Where is the line drawn????" Brother the answer is right in front of you, It's in the god damn title. Did a chatbot write the script?

[@MrSp3c]

I remember when I was 13 I wanted a modded controller so badly for Halo Reach (wanted to spawn in a pelican) and tried asking a GameStop employee where to get one and he just shooed me away

[@Draggo.]

I hit the trigger like 9 times a second for enough to empty most semi-auto clips so I got accused for cheating a lot back in the day lol.

[@feestinn]

I remember joining MW2 lobbies where everyone in the game was RPGing themselves and itd always take me a second to realize what was happening 😅

[@txoni]

In cod4 on pc, if you locked your fps to 333, you would do higher jumps, do bigger bounces etc. you also ran faster if you ran close to the wall

[@5150Failure]

with most glitches in game my opinion on it is, its not a bannable offense if its with friends but if you abuse it to gain an advantage it can be depends on the situation

[@CyberHangman]

In these games, I've seen Twitch streamers and non-streamers get killed repeatedly by the same cheating troll. Even when the troll's team was losing, that troll was only killing his victim over and over instead of trying to win the game. When the victim started another match, somehow that troll was on the other team, killing the victim again. The trolls often used multiple accounts to get around blocking. The dedication these trolls have to ruining just one gamer's experience is disturbing

[@cliffy778]

Have you ever listened to the Dark Net Diaries podcast? They have whole episodes dedicated to the Xbox 360 modding scene and the jtag Xboxes. It’s a great listen!

[@gemini__hml2378]

Can’t even lie. Shoot first die first has been my biggest issue with MW3. It’s thrown me so far from even wanting to play it as much as I used to play COD. It’s such a horrible experience.

[@kingkenofthunder]

honestly the only time i got shadow banned was for going out of the map once on mw3 the only thing that can get you shadow banned is three people to report you, it's common knowledge now

[@Vliffy]

The WaW mod stop was annoying when you had them fast fingers. I used to shoot with two fingers and get blocked. Glued a popsicle stick to my controller one time too to train to shoot faster.😂
