Bare with me here, i just installed evilnat latest cfw on a slim and put my account on it. I installed multiman, webman and some dlcs for cod bops 2. I logged in online and when I went to run the game it crashed and has never stopped crashing ever since. I even went back to ofw and did not connect to my net and it still crashes. Crazy. The game disc is essentially a virus now.

I've read cod bops 2 is notorious for this and I did manage to bypass it with the quit in game trick etc., but idc. I'm not banned with psn, but I am banned with EA and probably a lot more for all I know. Fight night said I was banned and even UFC on PS4 said I was banned.

I've played for years offline on ps3hen on super slims and even played other cod titles online. Never had an issue. And I had another spare account as the the activated account on the system. I also could not log into EA games on spare account but no ban warning just could not retrieve server info for login. But I can play cod 1 etc. online.

Now what I want to know is, if I make a new account are all my ps3 consoles banned from Activision and EA and wherever I go online forever now even if I go back to ofw because of this? Cod reported the idps of console to Sony right? Won't my new account on the system be linked to it and eventually get banned on PS4 if I play cod on PS4?

Is the console now a virus that bans every new account that touches it? Cuz I would like to trophy hunt offline on ps3 at the very least and not find out I'm banned on PS4 again with certain game servers in the future. How safe is it?

Are all the consoles I have done? And ready to be thrashed?

Thank you

CoD BO2 and all subsequent games in the series are notorious for actively scanning your hard drive looking for common homebrew (e.g. multiMAN) and reporting to Sony / Activision if found, leading to a ban as soon as you select the multiplayer option. BO2 specifically has an Anti-Ban EBOOT, which is a patched version of the game executable with that check removed. Later CoD titles don't have working Anti-Ban EBOOTs AFAIK, so if you want to play them online you need a separate PS3 that you keep on OFW.

I don't know exactly how bans work on Activisions servers but if it's like PSN itself, then when you're caught by Sony then (1) your PSN account is completely closed, meaning the account cannot be used on anything, not even a PS4 / PS5, and (2) the hardware is blacklisted, so you can't login on it to PSN with any account.
Note that attempting to login with a valid account on banned hardware does not automatically ban that PSN account as well, otherwise it'd cause major issues with people who bought 2nd hand PS3s
Then again. I'm talking about Sony here, when it comes to 3rd party studios like Activision, things could be different.

Regarding your other super-slims - if you've never been online using those there's no way Activision or Sony know about those consoles' IDPS, their modding status, or they being owned by you, right?
The game is not a virus that infects everything it touches - the only things banned are the account that was caught and the hardware that was caught. Attempting to login with the banned account on an unbanned system, or with a valid account on a banned system, will fail, but by itself will not result in further banning. Again I'm talking about Sony's servers - I have no idea how Activision's servers behave.

That said, if your systems have HEN and homebrew, unless you use Anti-Ban EBOOTs, that will be detected and your console / new user banned too even if HEN is not loaded. The fact that there's homebrew on the HDD is enough. If you want to play BO2 an Anti-Ban EBOOT is required. If you want to play later CoD titles (or Destiny, which also has those checks) online then your only choice is to revert your console back to OFW (or DB if supported) and format your HDD to remove any trace of homebrew ever having been installed on it. Obviously you will want to create a new PSN account too if the previous one was banned.

Playing CoD in single player mode when you're not logged in to PSN is safe, so there's no way your super slim consoles are already banned or will immediately get banned when you login (assuming you follow my previous instructions). Also, earlier CoD games (before BO2) are also safe, well at least in the sense of not being more dangerous than any other online PS3 game.

Good luck.
