Well, then theres my sad truth. Getting a VAC banned account without me even hacking on it.
Valve wouldn't give me my status back, so Ive got a useless account.
Thats even more fail. Had somewhere around 300 steam friends and lots of games.
I honestly don't trust VAC security at all. Once you're banned, thats it.
I can play Black Ops though, not sure why it didn't carry over there.

Edit: is it possible for VAC to see a program in the bg running as a hack when its not even effecting the steam files?
Okay, lets get this all straight. I played counter strike source since '04 and TF since '08, as well as about 15 other fps' from different companies. The Valve Anti-Cheat system is a big bag of [censored]. I know this from a first hand experience. VAC doesn't detect bypass' and/or close and run cheats. Which is about 20% of the cheats around. The cheats that update weekly, wont be detected simply because Valve doesn't keep up with them. You go on any server on CS;S as of right now, and even with their "Improved" anticheat system, there will still be aimbotters, wallhackers, bypassers, etc etc.
On another topic. You didn't get banned from Black Ops. That's because it's not massively produced by STEAM, but by Treyarch. I'm guessing you got banned from whatever you bought in a package, the Orange Box for example. But being put simply, if there is a console in BRINK for the PC, there will be cheaters whether or not there's actual hacks installed in the game. There's always wireframe in any game, and I know for a fact, Cheat Engine* will never be detected by VAC as well as mouse-hacks and click and hide cheat programs. As well as ORGANNER etc.
In conclusion, the cheat system was a HUGE disappointment, but there is still a few things we can look forward to, which has been said by Darksider:
I don't think they will be lot of those type of people in this game, since the game is not doing leaderboards, KD ratios and 1 Shot Headshots snipers, etc.
Console gamers can sit back and relax and if even possible come in contact with that 0.000004% of people playing the game that cheat..
But as for the PC gamers, all I can say to you is I hope there is no console/console cheats pre-programmed for the designers. Because if there's a will, there's a way. I don't like it as much as anyone else, I myself wont be playing on the PC. But I do have my final doubts that there will be cheaters as well.
Don't be scared away from purchasing the PC version though, one thing you all forgot to mention is that being good takes teamwork, and since there's no OSKs, you have nothing to really worry about.
Happy Gaming. Cheers.
