BF1942 to Bust Punks [Dec 01, 2003, 4:57 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The
Battlefield 1942 Website (thanks Frans) has word that punks beware, Even
Balance's anti-cheat software is going back in time to World War II. Here's the
word:
In response to the #1 request from the community, DICE & EA are proud to announce the inclusion of anti-cheat measures in the next patch for Battlefield 1942. The Battlefield team is committed to providing an exploit-free gaming environment for members of our community. Our goal is to have measures in place which address both current and future cheats. As such, after researching existing anti-cheat programs, we've determined that Punkbuster™ suits our purposes perfectly. We'll keep everyone updated as to our progress. For now, we have successfully integrated Punkbuster into the upcoming 1.6 patch and we're in the process of testing it.
Some time ago Punkbuster was used (or was even initially built) for use with Counter-Strike. Considering that punkbuster is no longer used with CStrike, its fair to say that I think the cheaters won that battle. But, more to the point, it was a bit of a hassle because then, you had to have it running in the background before launching into a game. The process has been streamlined a great deal with more recent implmentations and I would agree that it now operates smoothly behind the scenes.
