Modern Warfare 3 ‘Prestige Token Glitch’ will be fixed in the next title update

Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer have been punishing those gamers who took advantage of the prestige token glitch. Earlier today there was a hotfix for Modern Warfare 3 that prevented users from exploiting the ‘Damage Proficiency’ glitch, while at the same time reseted the ‘Prestige Token Glitch’. Here is the problem though, the Prestige Token Glitch has not been fixed, therefore some gamers can still take advantage of it.
Well, here is some good news as Robert Bowling has just tweeted that the Prestige Token Glitch will be fixed in the next title update. According to Bowling, the Prestige Token Glitch requires a code change that can not be done via hotfix. Therefore, we’ll have to wait a while before we can kiss all those glitchers out there goodbye.
Robert has re-confirmed that they will be banning all those who will be caught cheating. Keep it up guys!


Update #1: Added the prestige token glitch fix confirmation and the proficiency hotfix.

Modern Warfare 3′s Robert Bowling reiterates what’s confirmed to be fixed in the next title update and hints at the likelihood of a hotfix to address the proficiency glitch.
Proficiency Hotfix

Robert Bowling previously stated that patch 1.08 will include a fix for the proficiency glitch, but as the exploit is becoming more popular, it turns out that Infinity Ward is trying to ”hotfix this exploit” before the patch. The glitch enables players to use any proficiency on their weapon of the choice. For instance, assault rifles aren’t allowed to have the “damage” proficiency equipped; however, with this exploit, players can have damage on an assault rifle. *The glitch has been fixed.
What we know about Patch 1.08 so far

Bowling stated that both lag compensation and PS3 voice problems “are already improvements planned. The PS3 mic quality will be in the newest update specifically.” So, we might have to wait for further improvements to lag compensation. Bowling also said that the ‘out of memory 7 error’ will be addressed in the next title update, “along with many other theater improvements.” *The prestige token glitch “will be addressed in the next title update”, unlike the proficiency glitch which has been resolved through a hotfix because the prestige token glitch “requires a code change that can not be done via hot fix”.

Beyond the next patch, Bowling would like to see further improvements to lag compensation, which is “always a priority”, game balancing, and connection.
