Cheater banned from Modern Warfare 3 for 5000 days
So when Infinity Ward talked about the new banning system taking a firmer grasp on the likes of cheating and boosting, we never expected it to be this severe.
By this, we mean what is essentially made clear in the title, one player has been banned for 5000 days (what Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling calls a 'permaban') for the aforementioned cheating and boosting. To put this in a different context, this is 13.68 years.
Tesco Comes Up Trumps With Modern Warfare 3’s Best Ad Yet
As keen purveyors of gaming advertisements, recent months have seen us indebted to some of the most inventive, engaging and seductive ads in quite some time.

This time around, we have 4 maps from original and one from the second: Crash, Crossfire, Strike, Overgrown and Highrise.
Editorial: Stop hating, haters. Modern Warfare 3 deserves it's plaudits.
Infinity Ward has a knack for attracting controversy. Whether it’s in attracting the negative attention of the mainstream press with the unceremonious firing of ex-employees and founders Vince Zampella and Jason West, or fuelling anger with the misconceived inclusion of the now infamous ‘No Russian’ airport mass genocide. Modern Warfare 3 is no stranger to contentious issues either it seems - last week we highlighted another emotionally provocative scene in which a young girl is subject to a roadside bomb.
