Modern Warfare 2 exploit leaves some Xbox 360 gamers wondering “Dude, Wheres My Rank?”

According to the user “Noctis Everto” on the Infinity Ward Forums, A new exploit in Modern Warfare 2 (on Xbox 360) is allowing griefers to reset their opponents’ ranks back to 1 by awarding them a large amount of negative XP at the end of the round.

ME and my clan (SC) went into a game of HxC SnD, we found a group of tenth prestiges, we thought they were merely boosters, we were very wrong.
We knew something was wrong when they just waltzed out of their spawn in Highrise and let us kill them.
After we won that round, they said “AWW look at the level 1’s” and we noticed…
Killing them made us LOSE xp…. we won the match cause they ended it.
Match Results: -899999453xp….
What the heck…..
I was 2nd prestige rank 50, now im 2nd rank 1. everyone else in my group is reset as well.
to add to the weirdness:
all of my guns, camos, challenges,attachments, killstreaks, all still set as I had them in my Custom slots.
BUT when i went to customize, they were all locked as if I didnt have them.
So we decided to go play a match, I can rank up and everything, its as if I never got to 2nd. Rank 50.
People Say pics or it didnt happen. heres 2 videos of the other clan members (Including
myself) showing our loss:
SC ShadowTSI: https://www.youtube.com/user/SHADOWTSI
SC KINGCOBRA: https://www.youtube.com/user/kudude2
This Needs to be addressed, or else almot everyone will eventually have their stats reset.

The good news is that prestige ranks, titles, emblems, killstreak rewards and already configured custom classes remain untouched. The bad news is that all previously unlocked weapons and perks are not available to when editing or creating a new custom class.
No official statement from Infinity Ward has been made. Unfortunately, both PC and Console versions of Modern Warfare 2 have been plagued with exploits.

   I'll just speak to my experience on PC.
   I was a defender of matchmaking on the PC at the beginning, but damn, its screwed everything up.
   I do enjoy the ability to get online without having to search servers, but the community's lack of control in dealing with the PC hackers is getting way out of hand. Valve's VAC is not cutting it.
   I have been a very good COD gamer. On COD 2 there were a few stat tracking servers that would consistently have me near the top of their ranks. On the original Modern Warfare it took me a while to get going, but once I had about 20 hours on the game I became competent and once I got a couple particular combinations of gear I was fairly dominating.
   I have noticed strange behavior on kill cams. Guys that just intuitively know where a guy is moving, over, and over again in a match, and generally its two or three guys in any match that I suspect. For the record, I am not a griefer, I rarely complain, if I don't like it, I just search for another game type and hope its with a better group of guys. I know some of these guys are wall hacking, and its destroying the competitive element of the game. If I were to take an educated guess, I would say at least 20% of the COD MW2 community is dirty on the PC. Seriously, one in five players is my guess, maybe more.
   Don't get me wrong, I have far more important things to worry about than my COD kill to death ratio, personally, I don't have the time to fight the battle with IW or Valve. What I will say is that if they can't clean it up with some the combination of VAC and some reporting mechanism then what they need to do is enable support for dedicated servers so the admins can monitor the behavior and take control. Otherwise this will likely be the last COD title I add to my collection.
   I have seen guys win entire free for all matches in under five minutes only dieing once or twice, and you watch their killcams and have a pretty good idea why. Its really pathetic. Its not like being good at Call of Duty makes you more popular with the ladies, I should know...
