But, there is only one way to find out.
From Main Menu> Multiplayer>Options>Hit select on controller.
If its A.B.C.D.E.F.G.H.I.J then your not banned.
If its A---D----G---J (or anything without all the letters and dashes then you are BANNED!)
Hope this helps buddy.
somebody has been doing some investigating XD.
i hope treyarch did all this as just a warning, and they will unban us all and pretty much say. last warning! because i knew about the hacking and stuff but i never really imagined what it would be like to see "warning, your console has been banned" i nearly fainted
