Yes, its true. Punbuster is useless for Bf2. I am not aware of its ability for 2142, but for BF2 it is
and always has been a sham. 

A well known aimbot/radar hack for BF2 that came out within a couple weeks of BF2's release
still works to this day.  I will not post its name, nor its website, as its easily distributed on a website
for download.  Its videos are shown on youtube. It begins with the letter 'M'.  I have seen posts by
persons claiming this hack was thwarted over a year and a half ago, however this is not true. There is
an entire clan using it on a ranked server every day. I have repoerted this hack, as well as players
who bragged about using it in forum messages to EA on at least 20 occasions.  I have submitted
screenshots, fraps video, as well as text forum messages from those users and nothing has been
done.

This hack has dozens of functions, including hitscan aimbot.....enemy in players view his crosshair
stays on target. Also, colored player tags through walls and objects giving the hacker ability to see
all enemies behind objects as far off in the distance as his wants.  According to this aimbots readme
file, it also has the ability to keep your opponent from firing back at you when your crosshair is on
him.  This hack has been downloaded now 2800 times from this one website alone. I have seen this
hack being used personally not by myself but by friends who tell me its been working since they
bought the game 18 months ago.

I agree, most people dont cheat. I agree, without evidence you shouldnt accuse someone whos
beating up on you, but my point is even with evidence, even with admitted use, even after reporting
players and servers over 20 times, nothing has changed. 

Punkbuster is useless. A waste of time. They have been practically ineffective against hacks since its
beginning in not only Bf2 but every game they have been involved with.

Even if only 1 out of 50 players use hacks and cheats, this is much too high....Is very common for a
player to compete against 50-100 differant players daily. Thanks EA for another sub par effort.

Yay? I have never had a problem with hackers in bf2 or 2142 so apparently the system works ok
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

Punkbuster has always and will always be a complete joke in the fight against hacking. They try to cover way too many games with a small staff of people... completely ridiculous. Now, Punkbuster does stop a percentage of hacks out there which IS something, but the percentage is so small. Hackers ruin online gaming and I'll never understand why any mature person would want to cheat. I can understand why kids use them... some suck and think they'll never get caught... they just want to be admired as a good player. Pathetic. All hackers are caught eventually, but I would absolutely LOVE to see a magical Punkbuster release that stopped every single bot. Wow, what a different game BF2 would be... how many respected players do you know might get busted with that?? I bet it was really surprise you.

Punkbuster isn't the best, but it's better than nothing and not COMPLETELY useless.  Our clan is signed up with punksbusted.com, and to date we have caught 37 hackers on our servers . . .

Agreed

Punkbuster isn't the best, and to be honest their pretty much the only company providing that kind of a service.  If you can't beat a cheater, then honestly your not a good player.  Most people using said cheats rely solely upon them, and pretty much sucks when they get suprised or you actually use some accuracy.  I play CS, and I know how it is to play with cheaters, its not fun, but when youve got several thousand servers to choose from you just move on, bitching is gonna get you no where.

True, it sucks but there are plenty of other servers.  We pride ourselves on not having hackers on our servers, but it's scary to think there are hacks out there that can't be picked up by punkbuster or random screenshots of players screens.

certain hacks produce clean screenshots so its not a case of ohh take a screenshot

for example the "M" mentioned produces clean shots.

why are we refering to it as "M" btw im prety shure most people know what it is

MSX sucks ass. The only hack thats undetected begins with a T. There are over 15,000 members on that website. Of those between 10,000-14,000 have the hack. Thats about 14k hackers using an undetected hack in BF2. Dont bullshit me or anyone with this "no hackers in bf2" shit. But thats 14k people using T.. Thousands more use shitty MSX. Thats more hackers in the game. Those 14,000 hackers populate the popular servers. Most hackers are easily noticed on Inf only karkand. Others are less easily found because they use vehicles etc or play on large maps where long distance kills wont be noticed as much.

Keep in mind. Punkbuster updates itself. Thus catching cheaters.

actualy 187 recently added in screenshot protection

this means its harder to get pb screenshots, but if punkbuster catches them they get a hardware ban
punkbuster works pretty well considering how small of a staffing they have and how many games they have to patrol

First off much less than 1/50 bf2 players use hacks. Also BF2 hacks are very hard to make, unlike CSS or CoD2 hacks. Hacking is a problem in all games, but BF2 much less than others. There are only six types of hacks for BF2, aimbots, wall-hacks, radar hacks, and various types of commander hacks. While in CSS invisiblity hacks, no-recoil hacks, speed hacks and many other types exist. Also BF2 hack's are more expensive than in CSS or CoD2. Punkbuster is far from prefect, but it is much better than anything else. VAC, the anticheat software in Valve's games is the worse PoS ever, it defects very little hacks and is just crap.

I watched the TV missile aimbot vid.  Pretty weak there.  I don't know if I would call that an aimbot, since he steers it and when he tries to shoot at the jet, it just continues on it's course after he misses, until he corrects and goes after the tags.  I think that vid is more just names than it is an aimbot.
