trust me it can be worse on consoles. Sony/MS don't do their "sweeps for modded consoles" often enough and even those can be defeated with the right measures. I personally know someone who's been able to play on xbl for years with a modded console running bootleg games. He doesn't cheat, but he has the ability to and no one can do anything about it.
Good PC servers always have admins to take care of hackers, in addition to idiots trolling the voice/text chat. Heck in a really serious game you can often see people getting kicked just for playing like an ass (i.e. jumping into the helicopter and crashing it 5 seconds after takeoff). I have encountered hackers before, but they get banned very quickly. A lot more quickly than a console hacker.

I think Activision/IW just openly invited DICE to pwn them outright. BF3 = $50 full price, 64 player dedicated servers, free DLC to make up for lack of mods, and guaranteed god-awesome discounts several months after release. MW3 = 18 player laggy player-hosted servers, paid DLC, and $60 full price without any kind of "limited edition bonuses".
e: just realized Limited Edition says "back to karkand for free". Ok, I'm a bit skeptical now about the DLC part but either way it's a better deal than MW3

In all my hours on BC2 Ive only come across 1 noticeable hacker. I was a small rush map so he just stood in the trees outside the base and instantly head shot everyone who spawned with the Saw. He was banned rather quickly, after that I haven't seen any.
