Microsoft: Call of Duty 4 exploit-related bans only 'slap on the wrist'

For you naughty folks who used the exploit in Infinity Ward's Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare(PS3, PC, Xbox 360) beta for the Xbox 360 (and subsequently got banned from accessing Xbox Live), here's a news update that should get you back in high spirits: the ban itself is only temporary, and not a complete and total lockout like the ones they meted out on those who had illegal modifications on their consoles.

This little nugget of good news comes from an official statement recently released by Microsoft, stating that the ban itself is a penalty for violation of the Live Terms of Use, and should be considered as a warning for heavier, more drastic penalties. This means the big ban hammer - a complete console ban from Live.

So for those of us who got the slap on the wrist, let's use every bit of those Xbox Live-free 24 hours to think about what we've done, and what could be in store for us if we do that again. Don't want a permanent lockout from Live, you say? Well, now we know what not to do, don't we?

They were never banned from Live, only from playing the demo.

I wish microsoft would ban all you "glitchers". It's people like you that destroy all the beta testing fun.
