Anyone who’s been playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 online has probably seen the hackers. People have found ways to tweak the game to suit their means, like increasing how much experience could be gained to help people level up quicker. Some people even found a way to get infinite care packages to keep their stats up. My personal favorite exploit was a diabolical one that would penalize people who killed other people, sending them all the way back down to the first level. But those days are at an end.

Infinity Ward announced today via the Infinity Ward Forum that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2‘s latest patch, 1.08, will take care of all those troublesome and unfair exploits. No more XP hacks, no more infinite care packages and the speed of care packages, emergency airdrops and sentry gun marker grenades will be back to normal. A few other issues, like Model 1887: Bling damage and range, sentry gun placement and player collisions, are fixed with the patch as well. The PS3 version should be available tonight (January 29, 2010).

Joystiq is reporting that, initially, the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 patch 1.08 caused problems when it was released in Europe, disabling online multiplayer. So the patch will be live and available again once it’s working properly and not crippling copies of Modern Warfare 2.

Sorry Xbox 360 owners, it still isn’t safe for you to go online with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Infinity Ward reports Microsoft is still working on certifying it and doesn’t offer a release date.
