[cod] PunkBuster ?

[Morpheus]

Hello,

I've never seen a package that helped "custom" installation of 
unsuported punkbuster files. I've also never seen the autoupdate feature 
to work on any cod2 installation I had to do (say, update punkbuster 
files with the version the server provides and uses). My own experience 
the last time we organized an event to play with old friends is that 
Punkbuster was disabled as many were kiked out from the server and no 
one really managed to get it working flawlessly anymore.

For hacks that won't be detected, even punkbuster was not perfect when 
maintained, so I guess with many years having passed without support, 
the list of undetected malwares have grown also. In the same time 
bastards writing this kind of software switched their attention on more 
recent and growingly popular titles, with a yearly new game in the CoD 
Franchise, and the engine not seeing much changes, working on a 10+ 
year-old game is not "bankable".

Even when supported, I saw that "cheater" claims all the time on public 
servers, regardless the servers were cracked or not. All the time, to 
the last CoD title I played online, BlackOps 2. So if your players are 
so paranoid, I guess they should better stop playing completely online...
