I know that in HL games you can observe unique Steam IDs with console commands and ban players based on these IDs. Will RO be able to use this information? Will admins be able to use Steam IDs to identify players?
Will Steam IDs be integrated into RO?

I hope so, as far as I know you can't change your SteamID like you can your IP -- when you get banned.

For the MOD you can ban by player hash, it is a number only you have and cannot change unless you have another UT ID.
In the retail game, you will be able to ban by ID as well. Whether it be a Steam global ban or just on one server I am not sure. Maybe another Dev can answer, or we will have to wait a while to get more info on the specifics.

I do believe that both can be done by Steam ID. All infractions on steam do not nessicarily lead to a system wide ban. Steam ID is used for temp banning and kicking also.

SteamIDs can be used for kicking/temp bans on HL1 based games.... I'm not sure about HL2. Perhaps it is server mod dependant?
Regardless, it is a great feature to have.

Steam IDs have been integrated into the game, and server admins will be able to ban players from thier server by Steam ID.
VAC = Valve Anti-Cheat and yes this would be a global ban. This is more for hacks and busted id's. The steam id is for server admin and is more for asshats.

There are a few resources out there, such as steambans.com, that if you're banned from one server that uses it, you're banned from all of them.
