StarCraft II Ban Laser Strikes

[Apr 25, 2011, 7:56 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Battle.net announces more account suspensions and bans in StarCraft II: Wigs of Liberty, Blizzard's RTS sequel:

We recently issued a new round of account suspensions and bans to StarCraft II players who were in violation of the Battle.net Terms of Use for cheating and/or using hack programs while playing. In addition to undermining the spirit of fair competition that’s essential to play on Battle.net, cheating and hacking can lead to stability and performance issues with the service.

As always, maintaining a stable, safe, and secure online-gaming experience for legitimate players is a top priority for us, and we'll be continuing to keep watch on Battle.net and take action as needed.

Anyone care to explain what Laser Strikes are?

At least that's what I thought the first 3 times I read the headline, before I noticed "Ban" was missing an 's'.

Its not missing an s. Blue used the word "laser" instead of the usual "hammer." As in Blizzard has struck with the ban hammer/laser.

When you get banned from a game/forum/website, etc, it is said you have been struck by the ban hammer.

I meant I misread the title as "StarCraft II Bans Laser Strikes"

So I didn't understand at first why no description was given about the so called "Laser Strikes". I'm well aware of the ban hammer, now quick without looking it up where does it originally come from?! goony goon goons
