This is a picture I took a few days ago, it's the first I've seen where someone has been caught with a hack and auto kicked, and I've been playing a while.

Yesterday I saw one for "Multihack" and then a second player banned for something else, and it always happens at the beginning of a round.

So has anyone else noticed PB has some teeth now? Bit late in the game, but nice to know PB does stuff other than cause connection issues.

Just started seeing it in the last week, but seen about 6 people auto-banned now.

tbh didn't think there were that many hackers still bothering

Shock to me too, but seeing something similar at least once a night when playing now.

Punkbuster actually catching hackers?

You shopped that, didn't you?

Nah, only took it as it was first time I'd seen such a message.

Should have changed the name for a laugh I suppose, but I haven't got PS.

Play on a ranked server for a few hours, you should see something similar. IO kark should get a result in no time

Someone could start a post where these screenies are put up, available to be shamed in public, if it's a new thing we'll see more often now.

Wow, someone still cares.

That's what should be done MORE. It shows that even after a while, the company cares about the games they release still, at least a bit.

Nice!

PBBans just started announcing recent additions to their MBI automatically. PB isn't catching any more or any less.

EA couldn't care less.

Yeah, I was playing on my clan's server yesterday and a shitload of people were getting banned. It nearly killed the server from 32 players to 10.

It looks more like PB bug, because there can't be that many cheaters imo...

I was about to leave the server when I saw the picture above, got it just before the menu screen opened.

I've been seeing this a lot of recently as well. 5 hackers in one round of GT taken out last week.

I'm not sure if PB is being more active, or more kids are hacking. I think it's the PB updates. Now they show people getting banned for public humiliation, which makes me feel safer. Still, if PB is being more active, it's good to see people can't get away with hacking, and hopefully this will cross over to new games, BF3, namely.

Blehm98: conservative hatemonger; +150|6470|meh-land

usually it just says they were removed, and you have to check console for the message describing what they did and such

hmmm
i used to see it once or twice a month, depending on how much i played, back about 6-8 months ago
