Modern Warfare 2 gets an anti-hack update for PC [UPDATE]
Update: Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling has revealed that the patch released for PC today is currently undergoing testing for Xbox 360 and PS3.
The reason for the delay from PC to consoles, is so IW can update IW-NET directly, as the console versions require additional testing through their respective manufacturers.
Original: Infinity Ward’s issued a patch for Modern Warfare 2 on PC, which will update automatically when you log into Steam.
