Bungie heeft vandaag bekend gemaakt dat ze genadeloos gaan optreden tegen iedereen die betrapt word op het cheaten met Halo: Reach. Want deze developer heeft een serie aan nieuwe 'tools' tot nu beschikking en zullen niet twijfelen om deze te gebruiken. Wat terecht is, want online cheaters zijn behoorlijk triest te noemen.

"Our team is standing at the ready behind the sights of our fully operational Banhammer Battlestation. We take the Reach online experience VERY seriously," the developer said.

"Bungie has invested years of hard work creating a game that we want our fans to enjoy for years to come and we have zero tolerance for people who try and ruin that experience for others.

"We are already aware of a number of nefarious deeds by a very small percentage of early adopters and we have already been taking action. We expect that a few more will turn up once the population explodes on September 14th. We will be ready, watching, waiting, firing at will on people who deserve it," it added.

And with the new game comes many new types of ban, so no form of bad behavior is impossible to punish.

"We have all sorts of new fancy tools at our disposal now and as we start to come up to full speed we'll be engaging all of them," Bungie added. "Voice bans, host bans, console bans, gamertag bans, credit bans and the automatic habitual quitter penalty are but a few of our sharply honed weapons hungering for blood."

You have been warned. Don't ruin the fun.
