if this is novas attempt to stop cheats being able to play then it'll do for me however miffed ill be at no hexing..the less cheats the better..but i think its also their way of preventing warez geting used which is also good because it means to play online you need your own original version of the game..this will ensure that the game makers get the royalties they deserve and have worked for, i dont see any valid arguement for the log-in except the hexing of names which tbh imo half of the hexed names you struggle to read anyway..its a good attempt by nova and if thats what it takes then those that want to play will no doubt enjoy cheat free servers with decent players in, if you personally dislike all the rules they have imposed then DONT buy the game..im sure that nova will be sooo upset they'll think sod it and let the log-in and hexing be available just to get a little more cash..NOT..its how they insist online gaming in Jiont Ops is gonna be..live with it or dont play Joint Ops..easy decision really but ffs quit all the whinning cause nothings gonna change so theres no point..the final thing will be wether YOU will play the game or not..end of story..ill still be in the servers anyway so will others no doubt..those disgruntled or upset will have to decide for themselves..if ya not about then hey enjoy whatever else you can play if its cheat free or theres no log-in and hexed names..we'll all be happy then wont we..cool..nuff said i reckon
ps..isnt Chief a god then? omg thats news to me
