[cod] AntiCheat?

[David A. Fuess]

On our server we simply watch, use the kill cam, and discuss what we see 
using Ventrilo. The Team collectively determines if a player is cheating, 
then we offer them one chance to turn it off or be banned. You do have to 
be very careful though, because there are a lot of awfully good players out 
there and we do not want to accuse anyone falsely, that's not whet we're about.

The most obvious are the high ratio players. The person that was 45/0 with 
40 headshots was a good candidate. Particularly as this individual was 
getting headshots from clear across the map without using a sight or scope! 
Other things we look for is clues (visual and aural) that could have given 
away a victim's position and for consistency of play (e.g. always nades the 
same route and sometimes gets very lucky). In those cases we give the 
player the benefit of the doubt. I guess, in a way we turn the frustration 
into a secondary game of "Find the Cheater" and we have some fun with it. 
If you're absolutely positive that you have a cheater then you can use 
Ventrilo (or other team chat program) to coordinate massive retaliation 
attacks against the cheater. Once we all changed to one team leaving the 
cheater alone against 12 opponents, ha ha.

Bottom line, until Activision either gets PB or develops their own 
anti-cheat, you simply have to learn how to separate the outstanding 
players from the cheaters and have some fun with it.
