that'd make sense...but i do a strict verification of ALL my burned games with abgx. and i've been using that copy of mw2 for about 2 months online and haven't been banned...if it had a bad video partition i would have been banned long ago.
i'm thinking of goign to the unstealthed 1.6 anyways though...as long as everything is correct with the image/disc that is no less safe than 1.61, right?
yes i understand none of safe, at all, just humor the above question

Well we all know MS skips over a lucky few people every ban wave to keep people guessing, and no one knows exactly what they ban for, so you can't say just because you weren't banned nothing's wrong. Easiest way is to just run the disc through again.
But yeah, the non stealth should be no more unsafe as long as your discs are good...only thing you have to remember is to add splitvid as the firmware is no longer correcting that for you
