Single player is awesome but I, like others, have stopped playing MP. MP is full of hackers and it ruins it. I haven't touched it in 2 months - playing BC2 instead and love the switch.
Get it for single player, avoid for multiplayer.
Hacking is no more a problem in MW2 than it is in other pc games.
Ive played CS competitively since 1.5 and I can guarantee you there are not that many hackers as you think there are. I don't want to strait up say your bad, but many people that never go into leagues cry hacks whenever someone CAL-M+ joins the server.
Fortunately for the pubbers most CEVO-P players stay out of your games and stick to their match servers.

So excited

My understanding is that because IW maintains all the servers, and disallows private dedicate servers, cheating and hacking are rampant. However, I'm sure there are hacks and mods that you can get to play on private servers though. If I recall, those were some of the first mods to be made for the game.
Still, lot of hoops to jump through for a 60 dollar price tag. I'd spend the money elsewhere.
There's always people that assume the other team is hacking despite zero evidence. I got accused of hacking this morning even though I had only 12k and 4d at the time. The guy just totally flipped out and started asking people to "report" me because I had killed him three times in a row...
People are dumb.
I get accused of hacking as well, but I am talking about obvious hacking.
There is a wide definition of what is hacking.
Some say that doing or using anything but what a game ships with is hacking. For me I classify it as running any program that alters the original game code in any way.
That still leaves macro programs which are technically not hacks but do give an unfair advantage to those that use them. For example there is a macro that will allow people to fire a non repeating pistol so rapidly that it kills faster than anyone could ever press the mouse button. There are also macros for mice and keyboard that allow people to be running forward and immediately turn 180 degrees , something not possible just using a regular mouse. If I am a sniper and have the proper mouse I can dial up and down sensitivity on the fly allowing me to target someone much better than someone with a different mouse.
Others that allow people to make jumps or perform maneuvers with a keystroke that no human pressing buttons could pull off every time.
What the hell are you people doing that you're getting in games with all of these hackers? I play this game daily and I rarely see it.

I played for maybe 10 hours this weekend and I've encountered, by an extremely conservative count, AT LEAST 6+ obvious hackers (full server hacks, experience hacks, AC130 hacks, chopper gunner aimbots, etc). It's probably due to the free weekend, but still - that's a lot of hackers.
I've been playing with the steam free weekend and I'm not sure if I've experienced any hackers. However, idk how but I've been doing very well and I've been accused of hacking at least 3 times. I mean, I played the first MW but not for a long while now. I tried a 3rd person 1 on 1 match for the first time and got matched up against a level 70. I'm in the low 20s. I started the game 8-0 and he quit. I'm not trying to brag but I don't see how I am that good, the competition just seems to be weak all around, so I'm hesitant when people call "hacks"

AC130 hacks? Chopper gunner aimbot? what are these? chopper gunner has no need for an aimbot, it is devastating on its own (i'd rather have chopper gunner over AC130).
how many times did you get into a hacked experience server? I've been playing since release (182 hours) and I've only run into that once. I've also only run into 1 obvious wallhack, but have suspected several others but there was no concrete proof.
