How to Get Rid of Hackers on Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

"Uncharted 2: Among Thieves" features an online component in which you can compete against other players in various skill-based matches. The game is designed to offer players a fair and balanced fight, but sometimes devious players can get around the restrictions of the game and tweak it to benefit them. These hackers can make their guns more powerful than those of the other players or even make it impossible for them to miss when shooting. Avoiding these hackers ensures that your online matches are as fair and as fun as possible.
