Punkbuster picks up non hacks better than hacks. My buddy SaladFork got busted with a multihack. Only problem was he wasn't using one. He was using something that shows you how far you have until you get a certain badge. PB hardware bans him so he has to buy a new PC. No, lets not catch the actual cheaters though.
dude that sux ass...u should contact punk buster or something
Bullshit.... why would you use such a tool when you can see that info on this UBER stat site we are on now.
Good question ! There has been some cases when someone has been "hardbanned" because of using a hack. Usually the explanation from the banned guy has been like
"No..I was not cheating. It was the display driver that caused the ban.." or
"Blah...that was one of the BUGS in PB-system...you know what I mean..".
Even when I do not trust 100% in PB or MD5TOOL, I trust that they do their job for "certified" hacks.
This has been checked and confirmed multiple times from Evenbalance and among the ladder-players:
If you are busted by PB or MD5TOOL, so that PB or MD5TOOL clearly gives their identification about the hack, then YOU ARE GUILTY. PB:s or MD5TOOLs positive identification does not come for no reason.
The only NEW problematic issue concerning BF2 was "unknown Windows API function" but that has been fixed now too.
Anybody can check the master banlist and how many banned players has been removed from the ban from this site:
http://rep.punksbusted.com:9000/cgi-bin/bans.cgiAs you can see there are 749 positively identified cheaters and ONLY 2 ([=UBA=]Anger and MERC staal-burger ) that really has had some other problem when PB has identified them as cheaters.
So...if some tool has error marginal below 1% (0.2%) , I think it does it's job more than well. The only thing why I don't trust PB is the fact that it does not identify these newest hacks...yet...
Conclusion...SALADFORK has used the hack on-line or there are marks from the hack in his files.
P.S. In fact, the story about Saladforks permanent PB BAN seems to be only a story...just search his nick from the master banlist. There is no data on that nick so there is no hardban for that nick either...
Also Saladforks stats says "kicked/banned 10/0".....
