Last minute The world stood up after Putins decision in

In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 there have been some reports of allegedly false, permanent bans since the weekend. One user says he paid $100 just to have his account flagged as a cheater on Steam now.

This is the situation:

  • As of Friday, October 28th, US media has been reporting that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 buyers are complaining that they have been banned for “no reason”.
  • The basis of these reports is a tweet by online journalist Jake Lucky, who has built up a wide reach via Twitter.
  • Lucky says he’s received “hundreds” of letters, including from people he trusts not to cheat. They all tell the same story: They were wrongly banned. An objection was rejected by Activision Blizzard within hours with a standard rejection.

    First a permanent ban, then a quick rejection of the appeal

    What people say: Users say they were banned from CoD Modern Warfare 2 for using “unauthorized software” and “tampering with game files.” They found out after appealing the permanent ban.

    In order to protect the integrity of the game, the decision was made to permanently ban the account, Activision-Blizzard support informed them.

    After the objection and the rejection there would be no possibility to proceed further against it.

    Where is the problem? The problem is that people say they were wrongly banned. They would not have been guilty of anything.

    Players are also annoyed that their “appeals” were dismissed so quickly. It’s hard to believe the cases were properly investigated at the time, says a Twitter user.

    Another player says he only did a game and a half, then CoD Modern Warfare 2 would have crashed and when he logged in again, the ban came with a quick response from Activision Blizzard after the contradiction.

    A frustrated user says: He had already received the rejection 6 hours after his objection. He spent $100 just to have his account flagged as a cheater on Steam.

    How is this discussed? It’s always difficult to look at such bans and the complaints about them from the outside. We on MeinMMO also regularly receive complaints from users that their account has been unjustly banned from an MMO or MMORPG. We as a site should now focus on this “injustice”.

    However, this cannot be checked without the publisher’s data. Therefore, many are now reacting skeptically to the report:

  • Some users who are not affected themselves believe that some “unlock tool” that many use has suddenly been discovered and people are rightly banned.
  • Others recommend two-factor authentication to prevent others from hacking the account and then causing trouble.
  • Third say: Ultimately, it is everyone’s job to take responsibility for their account and to see which programs are installed there.

    • It is not possible to check from the outside whether the players, as they say, were really “wrongly” banned or whether something happened after all.

    Apparently a lot of people are affected – we will keep an eye on MeinMMO:
