I have just been playing a game online where i found 2 members of my team cheating. I tried reporting them to steam i found this.

The Valve Anti-Cheat system is enabled for servers displaying the Secured shield logo. If a user connects to a VAC-Secured server from a computer with identifiable cheats installed, the VAC system will ban the user from playing on VAC-Secured servers in the future.

While server admins may choose to ban specific players, server admins cannot VAC ban players. The VAC system is automated - contacting Steam Support to report cheaters is not necessary, nor will Steam Support act on any information provided.

The VAC system reliably detects cheats using their cheat signatures. Any third-party modification to a game designed to give one player an advantage over another is classified as a cheat or hack and will trigger a VAC ban. This includes modifications to a game's core executable files and dynamic link libraries.

Now i dont know about anyone else but as this is a steam only game i cant choose which server i play on just the type of game i want to play. Now if VAC really works why haven't those cheating been banned.

I think we should all gang up on online cheater by letter others know that they are cheating and name and shame them in game too i have 2 names for you.

Tryent/CPX the / is a striaght vertical line not a forword slash.

Also where do people stand on under age players as i keep having a 10 year old try and add me as a friend on steam and is playing MW2 online. The game is rated 18 as you all know and i think its wrong for anyone under that age to be playing it.

i think its wrong to attempt to self enforce age restrictions that don't matter, another thing is M is 17+ not 18... there is such a rate as AO *adults only* and thats 21+

in the uk the game classification is the same as our film but the rating starts at 12 and not U or at least i think it does as ive never seen a game rating lower than 12 then its 15 then 18. Most parants would let there kids watch an 18 film when they are 10 so why do they let them play the 18 rated games when they are.

Big corperations dont make it easy to enforce it either when they manifacture toys for kids that are from a film for adults at one point you could bye the Alien and Preditor toys from the two Alien v Preditor films and they were aimed at kids who were too young to watch the film.

Age classification laws are there for a reason and should be enforce better and more often and big toy manufacturers should have better guide lines when it come to selling toys for kids that are base on charactors from films.

For those who are concerned about VALVE's Anti Cheating system, aka VAC, their are quite a few hack programs out there. All will get detected in time, due to this title releasing way out of porportion patches, since this game was "NOT" finished, but "RUSHED" to meet the deadline.

When the new patch is released, the VAC setup changes the MD5Checksum verification file to go through your computer to see if any other programs running a different k/b sec match is running. This is why the hack programs online do not last not more than 2 months.

With the delayed ban setup from VAC, you never know when you get picked up for using any cheating infraction or device on a secured server. This is what they use. I myself have used aimbot for this game and didnt like the fact that you dont have to do much to get a ton of kills.

The game itself gets old really quick for MP, maybe its just me, but Call of Duty games coming up just need to RIP for a different style. World at War and MW2 use the same game engine as COD4: Modern Warfare. I would like to see Treyarch come up with something new.

currently vac only bans the well know pub hacks there are still several pub hacks that have gone undetected and then there are the private hacks that they don't know about...

PunkBuster is an independent company...anyone can buy it and use it in their game.

It's just that the first PunkBuster was designed to work alongside Half-Life and Valve didn't like it, as I read a long time ago in PC Gamer, so Valve doesn't let games that run through Steam use it.

MW2 installs Steam by default, for copy-protection purposes, and therefore uses VAC.

In the end they will lay their freedom at our feet and say to us, 'Make us your slaves, but feed us.'
