Spent ages and ages earning all the various gun attachments etc and completing nearly every challenge, and just lost practically everything to some heartless hacker...
Didn't even look like a hacked lobby at the time (e.g. no-one obviously in god mode shooting akimbo thumpers all over the map etc) which I got put into about mid-game - but after the game, the pre-match lobby text was full of insults/profanity and all my challenge stats etc had been re-set (with the loss of most gun attachments and perk power-ups being the biggest nuisance).
How rude and destructive are some people's nature, to just mess up anyone who randomly comes across their lobby? Cheating/boosting can be pointless enough, but at least understandable - while this is just totally perverse and anti-social!
I emailed Activision, but they say they cannot restore any profile info. Haven't they ever heard of backups?
All rather depressing really...
