We have suspended new violations for Multihack #79542 and removed all current bans for it. Far too many bans over such a short period of time and many players contacting us stating they do not cheat. Even Balance has not said they are false but after 7 years it's not hard to see when a false positive occurs now. Actual cheaters don't contact us in massive numbers. 469 Bad Company 2 Bans have been removed from the MBI and unban commands sent out on Jan 28, 2011 for hub streaming servers. Update: Even Balance have confirmed to us that this is a false violation.

There are more details at the following: http://community.homefront-game.com/blog-post/homefront-pc From what I understand anyone can host a ranked server when the server files are released within 2 weeks after launch.

Now on steam with 20% off at $11.99 http://store.steampowered.com/app/72300/

I remember when games never had ranks / unlocks and great gameplay was what kept people coming back. Now it's all about rank whores who care nothing about playing the game or doing objectives. Instead they camp for the best K/D ratio. FPS online gaming is all but dead for me now. It's not fun anymore. I play games to unwind and have fun, now I just get more pissed over idiots camping and not doing the objectives.

Speaking of cross platform http://www.nowgamer.com/news/5030/portal-2-mod-levels-for-all-platforms

bc2 lacks a lot compared to other games and even older bf games. This game offers a lot more with the exception of destruction.

Yes it was mainly the principle for me. PC gamers have been getting ripped of for years with unfinished console ports and the price is now $59. I was not letting Activision keep my money for something I could not play.

I requested a refund in Nov, part of D2D support is showing a support ticket with the publisher showing you attempted to get help. I kept asking, even filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau against Activision. I never got the credit offer until I showed them that Activision was going in circles after 7 weeks of failed attempts. They offered me the credit then.

It's still in my steam account but I bet it will be removed soon since it's the weekend. Direct2Drive wouldn't give me a refund but they did give me store credit as a good will gesture . I've been dealing with them and Activision support since Nov 25. Activision support was going in circles at the end having me repeat the same tweaks etc over and over. I think the game is so messed up they ave no idea how to fix it.

Well after many weeks of dealing with activation support who were useless. I finally got a full credit for CoDBO and I used it towards my Crysis 2 pre-order. Glad I never lost the cash I spent on this turd of a game.

And it never did shit about the studdering problem for me. Seems the game is just plain flawed and can't be fixed.

Least PC owners aren't the only ones that got a crappy, unfinished game. Activision Support: http://www.gamepolitics.com/2011/01/18/activision-ps3-black-ops-player-shutting-down-psn-servers-option

Considering Portal is about solving puzzles more than anything else I assume it won't be dumbed down on PC. Co-op implies players vs the ai in single player.

Now this is what sets Valve above the rest http://www.joystiq.com/2011/01/18/portal-2-on-ps3-features-cross-platform-chat-multiplayer-and-a/

Guess you would know since you're a forum mod at that hack site :P

You need to ask Even Balance that question as they are the developers of PB.
