Well, not the best solution, but at least CAL is trying - CAL Mandates A/C for COD2

[Mark J. DeFilippis]

CAL has mandated A/C client side program called "octinium".
It is basically a MPEG4 demo recorder.  While not exactly an anti-cheat
system, CAL is requiring ALL COD2 match participants run this demo
software, and for the matches, it does the Job.

It is a step in the right direction. We have had teams doing
some amazing things, and amazing since the new system
has been in place how all of a sudden the "magical shots"
and Ravage players seem to fall to "human" from super human.

It isn't Punkbuster, but then again who knows when that will be out
and CAL does carry a heavy stick.  I think CAL-o/m/i and CPL have
kept CS where it is.  There is a lot of money at stake there...

Yes, I know we said "We would rather have it "Right" then 3 patches
over time.  I think that was a "Blank check" for "we will get to it when
we can".  Meanwhile, I have had requests from our CLan to put
back up COD and UO servers.  Already bored with COD2, they
got the idea (from what I am told) from other clans that appear to
be doing the same thing.

Humm. Could it be possible that the thing COD:UO needed to
give it a kick in the butt was a poor sequel??  We will see.
Personally, I would like to see that trend die quickly when the
Patch for cod2 is out...
