Muaha!!! Epic goes after the cheaters in UT2k4!!!
A2597
Fanboy
in Zocalo v2.0
As we know, UT2k4 was released early this week, and epic is doing the same thing they did with UT2k3. Let the cheaters run RAMPENT with absolutly NO protection in the game....for one week. Then MASSIVE CD key bans. Let them have their fun, give them a chance to play fair, see who uses hacks...then kick them out.
Here is the message (Actual screenshot posted by someone complaining they were banned globally)

and here is the reason for the poor grammer (Epic confirms that IS the message a cheater would get)

"The ban message was written in a little 12 character edit box via a slow vpn at the time. And I forgot it already said "until" by default. Sorry. I'll try better next time "
Just as a sidenote, before a ban like this goes into effect, you have to be flagged as a cheater by a number of servers, at which point one of a few epic employees keeps an eye out for your CDKey, then spectates you in a game. they get 100% confirmation that you are cheating before banning you)
it's not often I say this, but I think I can here...
OWNED. :D

"You have been banned from real life until you learn to play fair. Until then, have fun living in the Matrix with boring bots."

on the issue of banning, i also know a few people that were master banned for not cheating at all (here's to server admins that are good friends with the people that can make permanent bans happen, bleh!) if you got solid proof, ban him/her/it but too many people scream "bloody cheater" after they get killed 3 times in a row.. big thumbs up to epic for taking up the burden of actually enforcing that though (i'm sure they'll be very busy very soon)
Worf
Though it would be better to have their ISP account shutdown ontop of that.
[B]Good for them.

legal action was a possibility in this case... :D
