Ahead of the game’s worldwide launch tomorrow, Treyarch has posted its official “Security and Enforcement Policy” for Call of Duty: Black Ops II, just so everybody knows what not to do if they’d prefer to avoid being on the business end of the developer’s banhammer.

According to the policy, bans will be issued for a range of transgressions, including 0bvious stuff like piracy, hacking, and glitching, and obvious stuff that apparently isn’t obvious to (some) people like being a massive douchenozzle to everybody else.

Under the heading “Offensive Behaviour”, the policy includes both temporary and even permanent suspensions for “any user who is found to use aggressive, offensive, derogatory or racially charged language”, so don’t do any of that.

Stay tuned for next week’s news, when tens of thousands of players are banned from Call of Duty: Black Ops II for being aggressive, offensive, derogatory, or racist, and file a class action lawsuit against Treyarch and Activision because their freedom of expression has been outrageously violated. Even though freedom of expression is not protected in private terms of service agreements like this one, and subject to limitations like obscenity anyway.
