For regarding a week now, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has been testing and PC is one of the platforms available as part of the beta. And, as it is not at all surprising, cheaters have already flooded the game.
In turn, this is pushing console players to turn off cross-platform play in order to avoid matches with opponents on PC. And Infinity Ward is already taking action to ban violators.
Now cheaters use wall hacks to detect enemies behind walls, as well as aimbots for accurate and fast shooting.

In social networks, you can already find dozens of videos showing the activity of cheaters. All this despite the Ricochet anti-cheat software that Activision is so proud of. This solution was introduced back in Warzone and Vanguard, analyzing player activity on the server side, as well as using a local kernel driver for protection.
Less than two weeks ago, Activision insisted that the new version of Ricochet for Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0 works even better.
Alas, perfect protection does not exist and in the near future developers will have to look for new ways to protect games from infection.
