lol? I don't get it :(
What kind of console mods would be a concern to them? Is there a common mod i am missing? Their reference to the PC doesnt really help their case i think. I am sure modding on the pc is not the same thing they are talking about on the consoles so why go there?
I would understand if this was about hacking alone but console modding doesnt affect the experience of other players at all...
Is there a codwaw console mod going around or something?

You are right semitope, this guy doesn't make things clear enough. So much for the zero tolerance warning lol.
What does the modding of console have to do with disrupting the online community and the fun of playing online? We're not talking about game cheats, that would disrupt an online game from having fun but otherwise it looks as a very unclear message.

Oh when is this BS gonna end?!
Ok, let us all hopefully agree upon one thing. These corporations are all after one thing, money right? So with that said, they shouldn't give a crap about this kind of stuff.
I think they are confusing modding with hacking here personally. I don't see anything wrong with either. This kind of thing will always exist and I seriously doubt they have the power to stop it.
I feel that if people cough up the vast amount of money to purchase the consoles they should be free to do what ever they feel like with the system. This includes modding/hacking it. What do these guys care for? If someone mods/hacks something, they instantly void the warranty plus any future support for the console should an issue arise.
Bottom line is that this kind of thing will continue until the end of console time. People will always modify, always try to hack something. These corporations don't need to butt in to people's personal lives, let alone their personal gaming lives. Let it go! As long as they aren't losing money over the mods they have no say.

My guess is that this is related to the cheaters on COD4 for PS3 that were recently stopped with a patch. Of course the PS3 hasn't been hacked and there is no mod for it, so their entire point is a fallacy.
I don't know if its a PR move, an attempt to ban modders who have nothing to do with this, or if they are just too stupid to know the difference, but statements like this piss me off. The cheaters (and they are cheaters, don't glorify them as hackers/modders) also piss me off. When they cheat online they ruin the experience of everyone else. If they don't have enough talent to play a game online, then just don't.
And a side note: if people cheat by exploiting flaws in the game, that is the developers fault, not the cheaters or modders/hacker's. I saw a friend play Halo 2 once and the buggy physics engine was so bad that if he jumped where different types of terrain met, he could moon jump out of the map and snipe people from the sky. Unmodified Halo 2, unmodded xbox. Developers need to fix their damn games before pointing the finger, and learn to point their finger at the right people.

I agree with Kraken. People who glitch and cheat in online games ruin it for everyone, and it sends all a game's leader boards to hell. The number one zombie player on the ps3 on der reise has "apparently" gotten past 2000 levels by himself. Not only is that impossible, but it just ruins the game for everyone who is looking for a fair challenge.
P.S. I think mods exist for the ps3 as I was playing a game of Cod:WaW today, and red text came up saying something like:
" ___(player name)_____'s secondary weapon is not a pistol and perk two is not overkill." The message continued with some warning that I didn't get to read due to the info moving up as new kills were made.

Yep I also agree that this is a reaction to the CoD cheaters. But about the finger pointing, I would say it is always easier to say : "If you cheat we're going to ban you, ok?" than to fix all the bugs in the game. In other words, as was said, people cheat due to a bug in the software, a.k.a. complete developers lack of competence to fix all the major bugs.
And I also agree that they are mixing the cheaters, using a completely unmodded console and exploiting a bug in the completely unmodded game he own with hackers that, in my opinion again, are in their rights to hack, mod, bash, kick or do whatever they want with their overpriced console. :crazy:
Cheers
