Russ:
"Ban wave happening right now. Official posts coming soon."

Also:
"So I think everyone would agree we gave more than fair warning that you should not cheat or use 3rd party programs in MWO."

Edit: Might as well post any further tweets from Russ on the subject.

"Will say the good news is that we were extremely thorough and the number of cheat users was far far lower than we had feared so that's good"
https://twitter.com/...632988237242368

"Other than that I will just say that although some of those caught will deny it."
https://twitter.com/...633187537969153

"We use a combination of methods to ensure that the conclusion we reach is the correct one. We made 100% sure before this wave happened"
https://twitter.com/...633437531070464

Edit 2: And the list is up: http://mwomercs.com/...d-for-cheating/
64 named players banned.

Let me be clear - bans were about Wallhack, aimbot exclusively any information to contrary are deliberately misguiding you

Cheating and 3rd Party Applications in game. Its all in reference to the cheating discussion from a couple weeks ago.

I take it as a compliment when I get accused of cheating. I've never needed to though.

Banhammers are surprisingly rough in a game like MWO. All that money you spent on digital items is now inaccessible. Don't cheat peeps!

I can't imagine what kind of cheats people would use. Unless it is a headshot the aimbot wouldn't be worth it.

It must be something entirely out of my range of knowledge because I've never cheated at an MMO.

Yes, but not of the kind that will bring the banhammer down on you.

I would imagine it's like the cheats for any of the other FPS games that have existed. Aimbots and looking through walls. Maybe on map too.

That's what makes it glorious. On other FPS games it's just a minor hindrance when they get banned from a server, but on here it's permanent and could cost the user a fortune, or if anything a huge chunk of time wasted building up an account.

Yeah I'm the same way. Hearing 100% certain for anything makes me squeamish. With that said less cheaters is good, so let's ban em!
