The PC version is on something called IW net which lets them rule with an iron fist. Pretty sure the same thing is going on on the PC

That's pretty lame if the PC version is run like that....I wonder what the reaction among the PC community is. Ah, 1.5 stars on Amazon, so basically the PC community has heralded the game as a piece of shit. Not surprising given the developer's reaction to BAN users for poor coding. Shouldn't their reaction have been to reward the users for finding the exploit and patching it? That's what happens in the PC community.

I am reminded of the jump exploits in Halo 2...or rocket jumping in TFC...or the endless amount of map exploits in Counter-Strike. Usually developers let players use these exploits and they have fun with it, or they patch them up. Otherwise it usually operates based on server rules. If you want to run your own server for TF2 and you don't want people doing certain things, you can make some server rules and ban as you please. But then Bungie and Valve love their community. Or even Blizzard, who is adamant about banning hackers but have always had a patch-or-ignore attitude towards exploits. I guess we can't expect a quality relationship between every developer and the people who pay for their software.

Map exploits or rocket jumping is a little bit different than the javelin glitch. I dont mind when people use map exploits because ill usually know how to get them out of there. But when theres a guy running around doing nothing but waiting to get shot so he can explode and kill everyone around him it gets annoying. Hes basically getting rewarded for dying.

It reminds me of the illegal exploring in World of Warcraft.
Blizzard made a huge world, and they locked away some of the areas because they weren't ready yet. But because they messed up, players found ways to enter these areas.
It took a lot of skill, but it was worth it. I've done it myself a few times (Old Zul'Gurub), it was interesting to see how areas had evolved etc.
But it's illegal. Blizzard has banned people for entering these areas. I think that's pathetic. They give people the content, but forbid them to use it. And they don't even patch it...
