Finally.. VAC (Valve’s Anti Cheat system) wakes up and started banning cheaters.

Valve’s official support page states that “this message indicates that the Steam Account has been VAC banned from multiplayer games in Modern Warfare 2.”
This means you got banned from playing multiplayer games _at_all_. It’s not impossible to even play, as in previous COD games, on servers without Punkbuster running, because, as you should know by now, there are A. No dedicated servers. B. No Punkbuster C. No possibility to turn off VAC.
In other words, you’re now stuck with a 60$ 5 hour gameplay single player game.
EDIT: I’m not crying about it. I totally agree that cheaters should be (permanently) banned. I just posted this article to let you show how long it took before VAC woke up out of it’s hibernate.
