I must say multiplayer for me is definitely making this game worth $60. The IWNet system really works great. I don't see the need for dedicated servers for this game. I am amazed at how smooth the p2p system can be for multiplayer gaming. I think this is going to start becoming a standard for pc gaming.
Also on another bright note, 2500 pc cheaters have been banned from mw2:

Good stuff. You can also report people hacking on steam:
FYI:
You can report players for hacks in Steam.
"During or after you've played the game with the hacker open Steam. Under the players menu, you can go to previous game. Under that menu click on the player who is hacking and open their Steam ID page.
On the top right corner of the Steam ID page you are able to "report violation". If somebody is suspected of hacking I will put in the comments "suspect of hacking - {whatever hack}". If it's something confirmed, I will put "Confirmed hack - {whatever hack}".
Not sure how effective that is. I suppose you could always create a video of them hacking as well, lol. Talk about extreme though.
