    Hey guys, after getting my M11x I'm back into FPS games. I'm trying to convert from the 360 due to aim frustrations and I'm curious how bad the cheating is still today.

    Any feedback? Is it even worth throwing $30 out there for a key?

    I would still get it, but I have encountered a lot of hacks... I was playing one deathmatch and went from level 14 to prestige just by playing the match. I had to start fresh again to remove the hack. There are also a ton of wall hacks people are using, but if you stick to the team deathmatch, it's still a lot of fun. I think that I must suck at multiplayer, but I keep wondering if some other folks in the match are cheating? Just have fun with it!

    I used to play MW2 a lot when it came out, but i've gotten so burned out on it mainly due to the fact that no dedicated servers = lag. I'm just holding out for 2 more months for Black Ops to come out. At least they support dedicated servers and seem like they're support the game better than $#!tty IW net.

    Just wait for Black Ops. Dedicated servers and server side profile storage should reduce the hackers and lag.
