<div>Even if they were cheating, how would you REALLY know without PB? Sure you might be able to visually see an older version aimbot that jerks around, but what about wallhacks? how could you really tell. And what is the point of having a GUID when there is no PB to utilize it. Being that Punkbuster uses the pb_sv_guidrelax variable to control unique GUIDs, etc; and being that there is no Punkbuster, I'll bet one CDKEY could be used in multiple places at once.

<div>I feel abandoned as their focus is probably on XB360 or PS3. After all this time and waiting to only see the many prevalent problems that exist now, and how can we expect these things to be fixed anytime soon or at all based on their track record.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Anyway;</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My advice to get rid of people that you think are cheating, and if you are running on linux, you can null route their IPs gathered by a /rcon status command; example</div>
<div> </div>
<div># /sbin/route add <a href="http://24.24.24.24">24.24.24.24</a> gw <a href="http://127.0.0.1">127.0.0.1</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>(Must be root) and in this example, <a href="http://24.24.24.24">24.24.24.24</a> now has their traffic routing to the machines' loopback address, ie: your server disappears off the Earth to them.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Some linux flavors such as RedHat WS3 & 4, you can use the reject command for even better results.</div>
<div> </div>
<div># /sbin/route add <a href="http://24.24.24.24">24.24.24.24</a> reject</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>you can then view your null routes and other routes by issuing</div>
<div> </div>
<div>netstat -rn</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>You can also accomplish this using iptables - with linux there are many options. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Later</div>
