I saw that MW2 got a fix on PC that addresses the RCE exploits. Has anyone tried it out yet? I wanna hop back in, but I'm pretty gun shy. Lemme know if it's safe or not.

I recommend to not risk it unless you have a PC with no valuable data or can run MW2 in a virtual machine. The exploits have reportedly been patched at least once in the past, but they quickly reappeared.

Running MW2 on PC is like driving on a bridge that was repaired solely using gum and hope.

Good luck and Godspeed.

"While decompiling the old MW2 (refering to the current build), we tasked the agents with evaluating the security of the code and documenting security vulnerabilities they find along the way.

They found 21 vulnerabilities so far."

"I haven't read through all findings yet. Many of them are likely uncritical. Yet, I saw at least one critical finding that was previously unknown (to me).

Neither have I checked if any of our findings have been fixed in the latest version, however..."

im sorry gang but your source is just "some guy"

The source of the claim that MW2 has become safe is also just "some guy". What.

The RCEs are fixed but there are still plenty of hacked lobbies. The game is fun if you're lucky enough to get a lobby without any losers trying to mod the game.
