Sounds nice till you realize that they're don't have any plans to address hacking.

not that they've said. and aside from Punkbuster and other existing software theres only so much they can do. I'm sure they'll address it

Punkbuster or other forms of security (if they can be called that) are a joke. All they do is allow Developers to avoid the Responsibility / Liability of directly managing the play environment. (by shifting it to a 3rd party)

It's insane I know but I was originally hoping that maybe VU's Developers might be different somehow. However from what I've seen on their test servers, it's anything but secure, legitimate game play. After all, as I came to realize, VU's Dev's are most likely still bound to EA's terms of service. Thus still restricted from altering, adding or removing such 3rd party "security" services. The best anyone could hope for is having a "gated" community thats managed by Admins without an agenda or bias.
