Thank god for anti-cheat software. If you aren't involved in MP gaming, you might not realize what a problem cheaters are, but programers like VAC, Punkbuster, etc. are the only way to keep the fucking douchebags from ruining the experience. The problem with a game like WD2 is that multi and single player are combined into the same game, toggled by an option switch. When that is the case, there is no way you can allow players to mod things. People would abuse it backwards and forwards when playing online. Nice one, Ubi.
