There are hackers in pretty much every game sadly, just have to report when you see it and hope it doesn't happen too often. Generally hackers don't affect the game THAT much though, you can always just switch to a new team

We all hope but unfortunately they probably will be. Also we have a thread more or less on this topic.

PC gets Valve Anti-Cheat as part of thier Steamworks integration.

It's just like any other hack detector, but when it finds a hack (You don't even have to be running it), it takes note of it, but won't ban you right off the bat.
Instead, it waits an unknown amount of time (1-3 weeks) to ban you when you least expect it. Even better, this means hack makers don't know what got through the scanner and what didn't - they can't make better hacks.

If you're still not convinced, look at Counter Strike. World's most played game*, and VAC is the sole reason it isn't hacked to hell and back.**

*That's not an exaggeration
**There are still mat hacks, but those are different.

There is not really that much of a worry about this for me as I am on an Xbox 360 and we all know that XBL in comparision to other online platforms(not PC) preforms very well. Rarely do people who even modify their Xbox's to store illegal games on the hard drive get away with it for very long. Any XB player who has grown up on the system knows someone who got IP banned by Live.
