<div>I don't really go along with that philosophy, anything that bypasses PB gives Evenbalance the incentive to make sure it doesn't in their next update. I've seen so many cheats that people say get past PB, only to be squealing when the next day they are banned (from the cheat forums I watch to see whats out there). That for me is always the test of something thats kept up to date.

<div>It's possible a different person/organisation could do better, but given the amount of resources PB has now its hard to see it. I know I get replies as a player (not server provider) from PB/Evenbalance which are pretty prompt and accurate and have fixed my problem each time. There's only "so much" smaller setups can deal with, and typically I find something has to give one way or the other. Are they likely to deal with players on an individual troubleshooting basis like Evenbalance do? Why are they more likely to succeed? Chances are half of the cheats that are stopped by PB will suddenly be easily adaptable and work on COD2.

<div>Naturally all speculation, I just don't really go along with the scenario where one person can suddenly do better than a long term established setup, just because they aren't as well known.<br><br> </div>

<p><font face="Arial" color="navy" size="2"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Now think about it for a second. The hackers already know how to bypass BP if they really wanted to. With a new system, they would have to learn all over again or we wish they would. I kind of like the idea of a new system. Granted we will all have to learn something new but that also means the cheaters/hackers will as well.
