        Its already being done. The hackers are out there already. Look around now and you will notice them. They already have built in GUI and rank cheats.

        Its a damn shame that we cant ever have a hack free game anymore.
        The first thing I thought when I heard that the profiles are stored locally was hmmm lets go get a hex editor... No I didn't mess with it.

        Personally if people want to pay 50 bucks for a game and side step earning the rewards that seems kinda stupid. The other thing is is that the unlocks don't really unbalance the game at all. So I really wouldn't care if someone did unlock stuff without earning it.

        Lastly if they had relied on central account servers it would have jacked the price on server hosting

        So I'm kinda glad they didn't

          I cant find my player profile anywhere. My computer runs Vista, and I'm not really that great with it.

              To back up your profile in vista you will have to navigate to:

              C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Activision\Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare\players\profiles\<profile name>\


              This is where your profile files are...

                almost forgot! Then you copy the folder that has your GAME NAME and paste it in My Documents, or put it on a disk...flash drive...whatever.

                            Well, it should be there... did you make sure you went to your <user name> that you login to your computer with? (this will not likely be your COD4 game name)

                            Unless you installed it to a different directory purposely or a different drive, then check to see if you have a directory under this location:

                            C:\Users\<YOUR USERNAME>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Activision

                            You should have an activision folder there. I think maybe you must have clicked on the wrong username. Unfortunately, unless you indexed the whole hard drive, you won't likely find the folder using the Search function. I have indexed and archived my whole drive but when I try to search for my COD4 player name it can't find it either. But I can navigate right to it.

                              I had to click the show the compatibility files for this directory tab
                              and there it was.

                              thanks
