MW2 Cheats Face 'Steam Ban Hammer'

Infinity Ward set to punish Modern Warfare 2 cheats
When Infinity Ward announced they would be dropping dedicated servers in favour of the peer-to-peer IW.net on PC, they said one of the reasons was to make it easier for them to crack down on cheats. IW.net initially didn’t stop hacks and cheats from doing what they do however, and there were quickly videos posted on Youtube showing their nefarious deeds using aim bots and endless ammo cheats just to name a few.
“The Steam ban hammer is coming down on about 2,500 confirmed MW2 cheaters”
All that is coming to an end, at least for the moment, as Infinity Wards creative strategist revealed via his tweet on Friday that Steam would be coming down hard on MW2 cheats. “Top men are on it”, he tweeted in response to a question on the problem. “In fact, the Steam ban hammer is coming down on about 2,500 confirmed MW2 cheaters on PC today.
