Halo: Reach was released this morning, and hackers have already began trickling in; plaguing the servers of Halo: Reach's Multiplayer. But don't threat, Bungie's fully operational Banhammer Battlestation is preparing to launch an all out attack against the hackers.



Following the news of the hackers breakthrough, Bungie issued a very informative warning -- stating that their team overlooking Halo: Reach's Multiplayer have come equipped with all sorts of new banning methods.

"Our team is standing at the ready behind the sights of our fully operational Banhammer Battlestation. We take the Reach online experience VERY seriously," the developer said.

"Bungie has invested years of hard work creating a game that we want our fans to enjoy for years to come and we have zero tolerance for people who try and ruin that experience for others.

"We are already aware of a number of nefarious deeds by a very small percentage of early adopters and we have already been taking action. We expect that a few more will turn up once the population explodes on September 14th. We will be ready, watching, waiting, firing at will on people who deserve it," it added.

"We have all sorts of new fancy tools at our disposal now and as we start to come up to full speed we'll be engaging all of them," Bungie added. "Voice bans, host bans, console bans, gamertag bans, credit bans and the automatic habitual quitter penalty are but a few of our sharply honed weapons hungering for blood."
