Oh, cheat (or 'cheaters'). Will they ever learn? Infinity Ward has just slammed the ban-hammer on some 2,500 PC players, as
Modern Warfare 2 experiences a surge of questionable activity online. The news comes from Community Manager Robert Bowling’s
Twitter account.
The developer caused controversy a while ago when it announced it was removing support for dedicated servers in favour of its IW.net service for online multiplayer. The benefits were to include a tighter grip on cheating accounts and a more reliable networking experience.
Specifically, Steam’s VAC anti-cheat system is in place for abusers of the PC version, and this news is either proof that the setup is proving more efficient for catching cheaters, or proof that even with this arrangement Infinity Ward still can’t get rid of the cheating problem.
How has the online experience been for you,
MW2 PC players? Let us know in the comments section.
