Hackers claim to create dedicated servers for Modern Warfare 2

We suspected that the second that the PC version of Modern Warfare 2 was released somebody, somewhere, would try to create some kind of dedicated server hack for Infinity Ward's first person shooter. It looks like that someone has created some kind of way to get into the dev console and make such a hack possible.

Of course, they haven't created such a thing to prove the point that such servers are better than the peer-to-peer system that the game's IWNet uses. Rather they have done it to tweak with the game's settings for things like speed and jumping boosts, experience points increases and more. Oh, and they claim that their servers are listed as "ranked" on IWNet. As you can see from the above video, there's apparently lots of fun to be had in such a set up unless you are someone who's running the IWNet service trying to keep such a hack off their system.
