he basically hacked the ability to kick people off the servers.

What he did was bad but jail time? Maybe I'm missing something.
Lol overreaction?
Sweet justice... About time they jailed someone for a DOS attack.
Haaaaaa. A world where being a D-bag is a crime, that's a world I'd want to live in :D
Kinda misleading. He wasn't jailed because he was cheating at MW2, he was jailed for using DoS attacks, which is a punishable offense. :-X
I promis if I'm in the uk I will never try to DoS or DDoS anyone's mw2 match. :p
I'm kidding, but I wonder how long he was jailed for.
He deserves the jail sentance, we could use less of cheating (nerd raging) kids who cant play fair.

Apologies for the late post in this thread, but to be fair most people hack just to see other peoples reactions. A.K.A, they feed on your rage and despair.
As a person who doesn't take games too seriously, I laugh at people who go bat shit when a hacker enters a server I'm in, even if I'm on the enemy team. It's just amusing to see how people react to a simple hacker, people have been around since the dawn of gaming. But I agree that it can be quite annoying.
