If I edit a file while mucking around in single player, forget about it and enter multiplayer - is there any warning that I may be doing something wrong?
I feel there's a massive potential for being accidentally banned with such a system. don't get me wrong, I want to stop cheaters entirely - but they definitely need to put some warning in that you may be infringing the rules.
Also - what exactly do they mean by "banning the account"? From the last few years of buying through Steam, I have several hundreds, if not over £1000 worth of games on my steam account. If that all disappears, with "no recourse" to getting it back if I'm innocent... crikey, that's a bloody sobering thought.
I might be wrong - by "account" they might mean playing online multiplayer in CoD, but I strongly suspect that any Steam account accused of cheating will be locked down entirely, and I've heard plenty of nasty stories in the past about people having their Steam accounts locked by mistake, and there's apparently very, very little you can do to unlock them.
I certainly won't be playing MP until there's some proper clarification on what files can/can't be changed, how the ban mechanics work, and hopefully some kind of warning system is in place.
