Critical Vulnerabilities In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, CryEngine 3
hypnosec writes with news that two security consultants have found vulnerabilities in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and the CryEngine 3 graphics engine that could harm game makers and players alike. Presenting at the Power of Community (POC2012) security conference, the researchers demonstrated how a denial-of-service attack could affect Modern Warfare 3, and how a server-level attack on CryEngine 3 allowed them to "create a remote shell on a game-player's computer."
"'Once you get access to the server, which is basically the interface with the company, you can get access to all of the information on the players through the server,' Ferrante said. In general, game companies don't seem to be very focused on security but rather on performance of the game itself, Ferrante said. Adding security checks can slow down games, and if the companies don't deem the problem a very critical issue, it will usually be ignored. 'These are games that have a very large market,' Auriemma said."

If the masses want something that YOU don't, it doesn't make them dumb; It just makes you the odd man out. Guess you are used to being there. I can see how that could make you bitter.
I like diablo 3 being online, sucks to be you.
Hacks, cheats, and massive dups are such an awesome feature, that doesn't exist in Diablo 3 because they don't allow antisocial rejects to play offline by themselves.
Considering that a vast number of your previous posts degrade into nothing more than you trying to prove your awesomeness by insulting others, I'll just let the rest of your post slide and speak for itself. I'd wager that I am vastly more technical than you, and I understand sometimes people have opinions are desires that aren't an exact match of my own.
