Been on LeadFarmer's server all evening, smooth as silk with players flying at pings well above the 250ies sometimes. The only guy that was giving a few of us problems had a ping of above 400.
Framerates are also a lot better in MP.
VAC=1 is usually there to turn on the Valve Anti Cheat. Special program that scans the .exes and .dll for predefined violations. If a player is found cheating on a VAC server, he will be automatically banned from Steam, thus loosing his games, etc. That is something every Steam user signs with the EULA.
I am not quite sure how this is intended to work with CoD though but the routines of VAC might just work in a sim as well.
