Considering 99,9% of all reasonable servers are VAC secure and the game has no offline-mode – yes, it does stop game access.

“The game”? Nobody mentioned a specific game. He said “any of my games”, not “TF2”. Not all games on Steam are MP, and even of those which are, not all use VAC.

Quoted from GeneSIS^

pretty much only valve games+mw2 use’s vac. There are also some other games which uses vac, but the games arent so popular. And vac bans are engine bans, if u have vac bans for cs 1.6 u are able to play source games normally.

But not vice-versa.
A VAC1 ban is only active for the game the user cheated in.
A VAC2 ban is active on all VAC2 secured games.

You can still play MW2 when you are banned in TF2 for example and vice versa of course.

Source?

Are you kidding? It’s a well known fact.

Ahh, awesome. That means I can turn console on without getting huge consequences on MW2. (if console hack still works)

if u get bans in mw2, u cant play multiplayer at all after that.

Quoted from Skyride

If you ever buy MW2, you should get banned.

+1. cod sucks.

Quoted from Rudi

How come this guy got away with being a cheating bastard? VAC uses delayed bans, so unless SPYderpig didn’t bother recovering his account for about a month, he is the one who cheated on his supposedly “hacked” account.

I’m not even going to bother to grace such a stupid post with a reply, you clearly don’t understand the concept of delayed bans — it would be more helpful if you understood how the system worked before you accused the OP of wrongdoing.

yea, go for it if u wanna nice red banner on ur steamprofile stating you as a cheater. Also whats the point for consolehack, you use it for 2 weeks then u cant play game at all after that, hope its worth it.
