Bad players will call hax. Simple

Now heres a troll, Trying to ruin a perfectly good, legit and reasonable post.

Go find a rock to crawl under. Please.

Have you all forgotten the detrimental effect PB has on single core cpu machines?
It’s probably not an issue for ppl with current computer hardware but we aim to support all players.

Yeah, Legit. Enable punkbuster.. Srsly!

Have to say a big F1 here guys, i know there have been issues / complaints of lag when it was enabled on previous occassions, but serioulsy i and many others still suffer from major lag issues when playing. May be BR can explain why other major servers that are PB enabled dont suffer from this probs ( eg Ga servers ). Would be nice just to see a nice and even playin field. Just ask Joke, some protection would be better than none. Lol ( happens to the best of us )

Servers like GA7 etc are run by Telco’s that own the ISP & the wholesale network & have pockets deep enough to take on the Australian government.
Can they afford better Server Hardware? Of Course.
We are funded by donations , not by millions of customers!

What we should be asking is what is in PB that is worth adding!

My computer is old as you i0n. It has no problem with punkbuster. If theres a problem, then they clearly -are- the problem.

I doubt that , here’s a computer as old as me , it’s an experimental project built by engineers that I doubt could run DOS.

Perhaps Overmars is on the money with added cvar restrictions , question is which ones?

servers fine the way it is.

I seriously lol’d when I saw the topic…. Shame some people don’t really pay attention to PB-enabled servers…
You know the ones that kick innocent players for BS reasons like error #21004 or “service communication failure” and other crap.

Nobody on the server hacks so what would be the point?

Exactly…! the majority of hackers we kick/ban are very obvious Euro hackers. It ain’t that difficult for us to spot real hax.
OZ server is more capable than most – we can actually turn on r_shownormals WHILST IN GAME to spot wallhax. Usually can only do that in demos.

Sorry alch3my I would take your topic more seriously if you weren’t such a crying raging twit calling hax every few minutes of playing 🙂

EDIT: oh forgot to mention – if there’s supposedly so many hackers on OZ server surely it would be easy to demo some hackers, right? RIGHT??
I eagerly await some demos of these supposed hackers….I won’t hold my breath!! And don’t give me that BS excuse I’ve heard a thousand times
“oh that’s your job to demo hackers”….cheap copout 😉

Kind Regards.

Because you are an annoying, attention seeking twit, Alch.

Yeah, Legit. Enable punkbuster.. Srsly!

F1 – there is no genuine reason not to have punkbuster enabled on any online game. it helps keep out the obvious bots and subtle hax.

Thanks for the sensible reply. 😉

Alch, what vars do you think need restricting that aren’t already? Let’s move this forward constructively, rather than stick with a point that we’ve already said isn’t likely to happen any time soon (and also why).

Ah, so what you are saying is that all OZ admin are able to see through walls in game in order to stop people from seeing through walls in game. Wait, what?

lol go away frog

its 1am stop trolling and go to sleep lol

smart people will bypass PB anyways..

No.
Even Balance does not update punkbuster for ET anymore.
