Infinity Ward has kept up the PC version of Call of Duty 4 updated regularly with patches; up until this point. From rumors circulating online it would appear that there will be no 1.8 patch coming to Call of Duty 4 PC players unless a huge exploit or monumental change to the game occurs.
Console players are also going to be out of updates after the new game types and playlists are updated.
This is disappointing given how well received the 1.7 patch/map pack was. It is also troublesome because a number of obvious glitches still exist in the game, the G3 knifing bug and various wall glitches to name a few. The PC version of the game also totally lacks the new kill cams that console players got, which were supposed to be released in the 1.7 patch but were pulled at the last second due to technical difficulties. This is by no means signals the death of Call of Duty 4 though, the game continues to be wildly popular on both the console and PC. This will likely remain true even after Call of Duty: World at War comes out, just based on how popular COD2 still is.
Cheaters of all sorts are an unfortunate aspect of any online multiplayer game. There are hundreds of hacks out there, most of which are infected with viruses to steal your CD keys or viruses. It doesn’t matter if you are playing on a PC, Xbox, or PS3 or any other type of systems, cheating happens. In an effort to educate gamers and discourage and prevent the use of aim bots lets take a look at some of the most common methods used to cheat in multiplayer games.
AimBots – An automated program like the own in the video above that aims puts your sights quickly and perfectly on the target players head. Most aimbots while efficient at getting kills, are extremely easy to identify because the rate of kills and number of headshots are so unnatural. There are aimbots which try to be more natural looking, but to an observant player they are easy to foil.
