VAC ban

[Dybbuk]

Hi all, I need to know, what happens when I am banned on MW3 MP. Will it display an error, where it will be displayed that I am banned? Or it will be just impossible to log in to online services? Or how? Thank you.

It will say "Cheat detected".. and you just close that window and continue cheating..

I can close that window and play? That's impossible, I am not able to play, if I am banned, no? And if I open Steam settings, there is written that I have been banned, but if I open MW3, there is nothing written about some VAC ban. I am just not able to connect to Online services at the moment, I solve that.

EDIT: What is that? Am I banned or what?

I had that experience so I can tell you anything about it. First of all, VAC will not display any messages about your cheating or banning status. You need to go to your Steam profile page, then scroll down and see "Gameplay Stats", and at the right side of the column "VAC status", if you see "ban on records", then that means you have been banned, and you won't be able to play official MW3 multiplayer anymore unless you buy a new game and get a new key code. If you try to connect to multiplayer using your banned Steam account, then the loading time of "Connecting to Online Services" will be extremely long, then a box will pop up and say "The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 server is not available now. Please try again later or go to www.callofduty.com/status for details", something like that. No matter how many times you try, the result won't change, and the server is actually available for everyone, except the cheaters who have been banned by them.

That's all. Hope it tells you everything you want, and good luck playing.
