När nu alla kör sin spekulation så kör jag min med då.
För en tid sedan ca 1-2 månader sedan så medgav Bungie.net i samarbete med M$ att det skulle komma en stor banhammer framöver. Dessa bans gäller då framför allt folk som lirar Halo 3 och fuskar, samt folk som fuskar med sina spelpoäng. Vissa skulle få en tillfällig ban på allt ifrån 12-72 timmar så att de lär sig en läxa och som en varning och vissa skulle bli bannade helt beroende på i vilken utsträckning de har fuskat.
If you're a cheater or an online trouble-maker in Halo 3, Bungie has it in for you. Last Friday they posted a message?more of a threat, really?saying that they know who you are, and they're not happy.
There are those of you doing things you shouldn?t be in Halo 3. Some of you have gotten a little too famous for your own good. This ain?t a church and there is no redemption or salvation once you have been judged. Apologies are now officially too late to save you.
The storm approaches.
Love, Bungie
The tongue-in-cheek message is clearly meant to send the online community into a frenzy of terrified squeals, but what's really going on? A member of the Ars Technica forum community who happens to work at Bungie chimed in with what the message means saying that they're "almost done dialing in the Banhammer, and a few people who helped us test Phase One are about to help us test Phase Two." What are they looking for?
Network attacks, by and large. Hard to prevent, easy to detect, but we've had to wait and make sure there were no game issues that could be confused for abusive behavior.
Banning a false positive is worse than missing several legitmate bridgers, DDoS'ers, and their ilk. So our process has been pretty methodical so far.
You can't run, you can't hide, and your accounts are forfeit. The reckoning is coming.
