Title: Modern Warfare 2
Post by: Doug on November 08, 2009, 01:26:39 PM
Any of you nogs played it yet? Got it on download, but seems like a lot of people are getting banned off it so tempted to just buy.

i just started playing it, pretty cool.

but i think MS can read firmware with the last update, i have NEVER played anything early and use ABGX on level 3 and i still got banned the other day.

I agree MS might be able to read the firmware now. I was against this idea completely until the most recent ban wave. Everybody is getting banned, not just for MW2, people who haven't even played backups are getting banned.

SCAMMER!!!!!

I paid 220 for my xbox retail, if I want to PAY to play it online, then i should be allowed to do so. I don't let corporations tell me what I can or cannot do with something AFTER I buy it. Once my old console makes its way back to m$, they will unban it and sell it as refurb.

It's funny how they usually ban consoles right around Christmas. Am I seeing a correlation here?

also, I would keep it as an offline for backups, but I'm buying one already modded and banned for $70.. crazy cheap!

I wonder if it's something to do with the Wave 4 junk?


So they say once you are on the list you are on no matter if you come online or stay off. So I say fuck it and go try. Won't connect to internet. I'm like FUCK and run test....cable was unplugged  :noel:


Run connection test again: Console Banned page pops up....oh well was a good run. Been modded for years now and never payed for Live anyways, hell bought the 360 on eBay so MS never got any of my cash. Now I can play games as early as I want. Might just pick up another cheap one that is broke or banned on eBay to.....fix....for future online play.

I just bought this game, extra wired controller, and Xbox Arcade from Walmart.  I also have another Xbox Arcade coming from Amazon because of the good deals this weekend.

Anyone want an Arcade for a reasonably good price?  Once I get it in the mail, I'll probably put up a FS post.

I'm thinking not. I don't think they can read the firmware, if they could EVERY modded console ever connected to live would be banned, but not the case.  I think it's something the console is storing and then sending when connected to Live. My console has been offline, plugged it in and bam banned, so it's not anything to do with the Wave 4 crap or anything here recent. Just keep an eye out for a banned one on eBay or craigslist and pick it up on the cheap to play modded games. They ban the console not the profile.

No I'm running iX 1.6, but I don't think it has anything to do with the firmware. If it does then I'm sure it also stores if it has been changed at any point. Like I said just pick up a banned one on the cheap that's already modded.

No clue. I used the three free one month new profiles that came on the 360, and my brothers 3 for his, then had some one month cards. I don't play much online. Only World at War and Halo 3

So the thinking with 2 units is, buy the games you want to play online legit and then use the other unit to play any other game you might want but have no interest in playing online?

Either way, it sounds like you are buying Modern Warefare.  If you are, Amazon/Walmart/ToysRUs and a few other stores are offering $20 GCs for buying the games.  I got mine from Walmart because I had some Walmart money.  It probably won't come for a few days, but oh well.

i beat the single player in 1 sitting, but i played it on recruit cause i hate a challenge. this game is off the hook though.

i got to the store at 11:30 last night thinking i would be there early. turns out about 200 people got there before me lol. didnt leae the store till 1:45. the night vision goggles are a joke though.

Eh I'm not that worried about it, I just like the challenge of some of them. Took me about a week of playing here and there on World at War to beat on Veteran, but I use my brothers unmodded and legit copy of MW2 to play online right now whenever I can so switching the HDD would corrupt my saves.

The ban has more to do with than just MW2. I was banned before I even played it. They just tend to have their big ban waves around the time of a big game release, pretty close to christmas.

I still don't believe they can read firmwares.  If they could, then everyone would be banned.

I'm going to check if mine is banned tomorrow.
Title: Re: Modern Warfare 2
Post by: jagojon3 on November 13, 2009, 09:32:38 PM
General consensus is that the latest dashboard update allowed them to read firmware, or somehow detect it's modified. It wouldn't make sense to ban ALL the people with modded firmware, it's a great way to keep the community guessing. It's pretty ingenious actually how they are going about all this. Sucks right now, but MS is pretty smart.
Title: Re: Modern Warfare 2
Post by: Jorsher on November 13, 2009, 09:36:38 PM
Dunno.

If I'm banned, I'll buy another for online-legit play.

If I'm not, will keep playing til I am.

[02:58] <@[X]nWo[X]> excellent news
[02:58] <+dialtone> u the man
[02:58] <@[X]nWo[X]> anything new in the live logs ?

[03:01] <+c4eva> until tests are completed, no eta on liteon fw!
[03:04] <+c4eva> live logs look good!
[03:06] <+c4eva> fw itself not detectable!
[03:06] <+dialtone> thats forsure hehe
[03:06] <+dialtone> knew it wasnt gonna be that
[03:11] <+c4eva> they are going hard on warez releases and incorrect use of abgx!
[03:11] <+dialtone> but i cant wait to do a victory dance on the proven track record of bad rips =p
[03:12] <+dialtone> thats why me and fishy are unbanned cuz we have been stict on verified only online boots for the past year since last wave
[03:12] <+Fishcake> see, this is why kids shouldn't rip :>

The guy behind the firmwares doesn't believe they can detect the firmware.  I guess 1.61 is the new, safe cfw?

IIRC, ABGX using level 3 attempts to correct bad rips...or at least if it doesn't pass on level 1 verification, it's a bad rip.

Title: Re: Modern Warfare 2
Post by: Jorsher on November 13, 2009, 10:05:06 PM
Yeah.

According to C4EVA the LT firmware will be as close to the original firmware as possible and won't care about the different waves.  It's believed the modded consoles are being detected by how the firmware acts, not by reading the actual firmware, so he's redoing it without a lot of the hacks/patches and making it as similar to the original firmware as possible while still allowing it to play back-ups.

I guess I'll keep mine offline until the new firmware.

Jago - did you get axed from live?
Title: Re: Modern Warfare 2
Post by: bryantaylor on November 13, 2009, 10:15:28 PM
of course C4 is going to say MS can't read the firmware.  but the fact remains that as of right now over a million consoles have been banned in the last couple of weeks and people that have flashed and have NEVER even played a burned game have been banned.  so if people that haven't even played anything yet have been banned its very obvious that MS can read the firmware.

and you can check to see if you have been banned online.  register your box if you havent done it yet on xbox.com.  then try and request a repair, if it says:

Error

This service is temporarily unavailable. Please try back again later.

then that console is banned.
Title: Re: Modern Warfare 2
Post by: Jorsher on November 13, 2009, 10:51:05 PM
You don't need to read the firmware to detect it's modified.

You send the drive a challenge, and it responds in a way that an original firmware wouldn't.

You don't need to read a firmware to detect it's modified...they've banned countless times before.

Fact is, nobody knows, and I choose to believe the opinion of the person who has created all the firmwares over someone on an auto forum.

If they could read the firmware, he wouldn't be working on a new firmware.  Changing a single byte will cause a hashcheck to fail, and if they were reading the firmwares they'd be able to detect any change, and thus it'd be pointless for him to make a new one.

What do you mean about c4?  He's always told where he fucked up or how they caught people using his firmwares.  You using his firmware is your own risk, why should he care if you get upset?

what an awesome ending. when is mw3:soap and price against mankind coming out?

I loved the ending too. Playing through campaign again for no reason today.

I finally got this game on Friday.  Man am I terrible.  I won't even bother playing online yet.

I wouldn't bother playing online until you at least beat the campaign. You'll naturally be way better by then.

Yeah, I'm working through the campaign now.  I think I'm about half way.  I'm playing on recruit or regular.  I forget which.  I'll probably play it again at the next higher level and beat some more of the special ops stuff before I go on XBL.

I started the special ops last night.  Jesus christ, how is it possible someone goes through the training facility in 35 seconds without killing a civilian and killing all of the enemies?  My best was 50 seconds.  I know in a week, I'll be able to do it in 45 seconds, but 35 seconds seems impossible.

I guess I'll keep mine offline until the new firmware.


I would keep it offline if I were you. If it gets banned then your HDD profile data gets corrupt so switching to a unbanned 360 to play online or what not is annoying as hell. Mine got hit with the wave, but found a guy online on CL that wanted to swap his unmodded 360 for a banned/modded one.

Met up with him some older dude, said he didn't play enough to justify $70 on a game haha. Swapped with him and his is the Hitachi (which I was hoping BenQ, but oh well). Hopefully will have this one modded here soon and then will have a permanent offline console without the annoying HDD corruption or inability to save games to HDD.

Easiest thing to do is just memorize the targets. They are always in the same spot. I got like 43 seconds on the third try and said enough of this.

Yeah, again, they can't READ the firmware, they just detected them because the modded firmwares didn't respond correctly to certain challenges since they were so hacked up.  If they could read it, it would mean the end of modified firmwares as they would simply just need to do a hash-check...one byte different will make the hash-check fail.

Another bit of "proof" to that...you need to jump a couple connections on the drive's controller in order to read the firmware/key from it.  There's no way MS could do that with software alone.

LT will no longer do wave checks or any of that mess...it's simply an original firmware modified as little as possible to play burned games (hence, light touch).  It would fail a hash-check if the firmwares could be read by MS, so the fact that it works is more proof they cannot read it.  The reason this one (hopefully) will not get anyone banned is because whatever challenge MS sends to the firmware should be "answered" correctly since the firmware is barely modified.

As far as COD4:MW2 -- I'd be playing that SOB on PC if I had internet at home :/

It's pretty good, but I feel like they dumb'ed it down from COD4. As usual the game has hella shitty spawns. Nothing like the enemy getting a chopper gunner or a AC130 and continually spawning you wide out in the open.

I played about 4-5 games with DRQPQUT.  I'm a terrible teammate, but I think we won all of the games we played as a result of my massive killing capabilities.   :P

For anyone that cares, if you are new to the game, use the following setup:

Primary: Scar-H
Secondary: Doesn't matter
Frag Grenades
Stun Grenades

Perks:
 - Marathon
 - Stopping Power
 - Commando

Just run around the perimeter of maps looking for people.  If they don't see you, run up behind them and stab them.  Commando is great for this.  If you do need to shoot someone, Stopping Power makes a HUGE difference.  I'd say the way I've been playing the last week is 90% kills via knifing and 10% via my guns.  I don't even have a tactical knife because I can't stand hand guns.
