UPDATE REGARDING RANK RESTORATION
-
Like (1)
We are currently conducting a live 'dry run' of rank restoration on our backend for those who suffered from the de-rank hack to ensure everything works as anticipated. We'll analyze the results and if the test recovery proves solid we're aiming to commence the real restoration for all affected on Monday/Tuesday after the weekend usage peak.
All appears to be proceeding smoothly thus far. Again apologies for the frustrating wait but we have to take extreme caution with any processing of player statistics as I'm sure you understand.
UPDATE:
The rank restoration has occurred for most people. Those yet to be restored to their previous rank have either been online and playing when we have conducted the process - don't worry we'll get to you; those that exceeded their previous rank in the interim.; those that were at prestige 15 because we could not determine if you chose to reset rank using a prestige token - the plan is to contact you individually and ask how you would like to proceed; and finally those that received a ban in the meantime.

I messaged my friends & one of them replied saying 'derank lobbies' I can't confirm it though. please bump so everyone sees it. Ty.
There is a video online that shows the deranked lobbys, it has things like god mode, infinate ammo, running IMS's. It is happening again, hopefully IW will shut em down quickly so we don't end up like MW2.

Ty for adding bud, not sure why this thread wasn't made officially by a developer or Elite moderator though it should have been. Any moderators reading this it should be stickied until resolved show some love for the people that buy your products and prevent this from happening to more people than need be?
Bump, people should see this.
What else is new?
Made this a sticky. A modding group created a mod which we shut down from spreading virally within 12 hours. Sadly, they have chosen to 'protest' this by inviting players to matches were they will force a de-rank on the unwary.
We are working actively on fixing this issue and also backing up player stats so that we can reset those affected by this malicious behavior.

Thank you very much
Ghandi you guys knew about this for over 2 days before anyone official decided to actually inform the community, now you're making out like its just one disgruntled group why not be honest its an infection spread via the filesave system and has gone way past said group of disgruntled modders now. Maybe if you had actually stopped in when you knew ablout it by disabling the filesave system until you patched it it wouldnt be a problem now would it ![]()
Ghandi PLEASE reply to this. Could the massive increase in lag be the result of backing up players stats? It would be nice to know that there is a reason for the increased lag & that it will go away. Thank you
i don't mean to say this but we told you all so, and it seems to just go in one ear and out the other.
And not only that it also seems that you really do not care look what happened to robert bowling. It's a fan going mad at thewrong person and people it'd the head and that is activision that started that issue and it's also acti's fault for not listening to any of us.
What just happened is only the beginning and no i'm not involved in this. Because i like playing cod i am still a hardcore cod fan and it would be lame of me to do so. And I'd be no better than them. But what just started was hacking war against cod, And us premiums are responsible and the rest of the fans that really love and care about cod, we continue to be ignored over and over.
what will it take for us to have you open your eyes to see and listen for yourself. And all we want is answers and all we ever wanted was to help build and make cod awesome. it continues to be ruined over and over and you exspect me and everyone to continue playing this game.
My friends miss me on cod and we miss the old days of cod more than ever.
So yeah i quit playing cod mainly because of that reason lol. All we ask for is a little participation lol.
i played with u the other night
If this was just a small grp of hackers the ban hammer would have solved the problem. Theres something larger at play if this is still happening. I again feel like were being mislead. Y not just try honesty and transparency and see if maybe we can rebuild the respect we both want from each other? Really i know you guys work hard and would like more positive feedback but its hard when you constantly sweep the issues under the rug. Meet us halfway thats all we want!
yeah i believe it. It shouldn't surpprise people at all to hear and see that happening lol its nuts lol. well i give up being an activision product gaming fan. because of that reason and many more crazy reasons for that being so lol.
It's horse sh!t that IW/Treyarch can't/won't keep CoD4/WaW hack-free.It's absolute BULLSH!T that now they have us paying extra for ELITE Premium and they can't even keep MW3 hack free. They should be sued.
No one is making you pay for anything, stop being so ignorant. But, they do need to keep this to a minimum and cleaned up ASAP.
I like how you have quite a political forum name yet your post is so completely wrong. Don't play cod if you're so mad. no one is forcing you to buy anything. Shut up and stop complaining about the product YOU bought. Activision doesnt have to care.
People like you shouldn't vote.

Get out.
What a shame... Can't play much of anything because there are people out there like these guys... How does that make the game fun, deranking people & being God? That just... it just... it's boring! If you find this stuff fun, maybe you should get out more, your recirculated air must be getting to you.
Would be hilarious if the origins I these hacks are disgruntled ex IW employees. They just seem to be coming in thick and fast with MW3. Was nowhere near as bad with Black Ops?
Happened to two of my friends not long ago and it wasn't a lobbie they where asked to watch a video in someones vault and all the video was was just a count down to the start of a game and then it ended once they closed the video they lost all there ranks and stats!.
yeah that friend was me!! has anyone had there rank put right yet ? still waiting on mine to be sorted
Ive been deranked from 14th prestige if you dont believe me look on my vault there are pics of me at 14th but i need to get back it took me ages to get to that prestige my gamertag is TRiKz v NauZiah so could you get me bact to 14th please?
my rank isnt back yet it should be ?

i have been offline fore three days now and its still not back and i have rang activision support three times and one of them said i will have my rank in 24 hours ?
I got mine back plus 48hrs of dblxp and two tokens.
My rank has not been restored yet. Are you still in the process of restoring peoples ranks or have you finished? If so, how comes I have not had my rank restored yet?
I was 15th when I was reset, but I wonder, how exactly do they plan to contact me individually? Through xbox? I don't understand.

We're trying to figure that out with MS now. In the meantime PM BanCandy here with your decision if you want to be restored to 15th or remain reset. The same goes with anyone else in the same situation and we'll get you fixed up.

Allow me to translate: (I've learned a lot about twitter/forum double speak since before MW3 was released)
It appears to say: Let us know whether you would like us to do this, or that.
What it really means is if you don't contact us with your decision to do this; that that will happen.
Am I right?
I reset my rank with a prestige token when I hit 15th. I then made it about halfway through prestige one and I got reset back to Prestige 14 level 70. I was given two tokens and 2 days of double xp. Would of been nice to have prestige 16-20 available before I burnt through that double xp.
Who thinks we should be able to rank up on the computer. so when we get our xboxs taken away we can still rank up.
I got banned and reset am I going to get my rank restored?. I did not hack mod glitch or anything online the only thing I could possibly think of was joining a hacked private match not knowing what it was..
Samething happened to me as the guy above me.... says i was banned for hacking.... i was 15th 80
GT: Devilreapr
is there any chance i could get everything back im gutted psn is JoRdYcEe and i was 13th 80 ![]()
