One of the biggest probems I have with this is when they say
Last I looked, everytime someone tries to report someone for cheating they don't tell them to e-mail somewhere, they tell them not do put steamids on the forums. They have even banned people for doing stuff like that cause they wouldn't stop.
Also it bugs me when they say they are going after hackers. Thats giving them too much credit. All you really see out there is script kiddies using someone elses programs and code.

Quote:Now with CounterStrike:Source with 20,000 players 15,000 servers, and no VAC available for CS:S servers are being flooded with hackers. I was personally in a public server and mygot a well known hacking group came in and cleared the entire server with thier hacks. It disgusts me when people pay good money for their game server and to lose all the people playing in their server.
But a recent chat with my friend that works at Valve said that to expect a release sometime next week. VAC 2 also will be ten times more aggressive than the original VAC for half-life, and will also be equipped with all the recent cheat detection system. Although I was able to talk to him he didn't give me much info, but VAC 2 will be an actually release not a BETA that VAC 1 was.
I myself would like to see VAC 2 instantly ban hackers. But it is good to see steam is trying their hardest to try to ban the steam accounts that are reported. If you happen to get the STEAM ID of the hacker you could email steam and they will look into the problem and with success ban the account. Until then reporting it to steam is that only way to fight "The War against Hackers". Also expect a steam update sometime next week for VAC 2's release.
