Gameloft anti-hack update

During the initial weeks on the release of Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation, a hex-edit injection hack was released to jailbroken devices to allow near infinite amounts of B & G points, one-shot kills and infinite amount of ammunition and magazine rounds (which provoked the need to reload).

The hack was released roughly three days after the final publish of MC3: FN. Many were shocked to see players constantly calling in Bomber Support, this was the after-effect of Gameloft including the ability to buy kill chains.

Gameloft's retaliation
On the 3rd of November, Gameloft's Lead Game Designer posted on TouchArcade's forums in respect to the issue:


 * "Everyone,


 * Our first phase of anti-hacks has been deployed and is now live on the Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation multiplayer servers. No client update is required.


 * From now on, all Military Supports (Bombers, Air Strikes, Turrets, etc.) have a limited amount of uses per match. We also added a delay between each use. In other words, whoever has been using hacks to generate Gold Credits won’t be able to buy and spam Military Supports for an entire match anymore (example: constant call of bombers).


 * For everyone who has been playing legitimately, this change will have minimal effect on your gameplay experience and you will still be able to use your rewards when you gain them in a fair way.


 * We have more fixes coming. Stay tuned."

The update was a patch on Gameloft's servers which added a timer-restriction so the calling of constant military support was disabled.
