Just wanted to inform you guys, just in case you want to buy this game. 
When will Ubisoft ever learn?
Probably never.

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.
