Frated1 Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 I feel like not that many people know about Punkbuster. Just yesterday, a regular (Kantane) started using an aimbot and was immediately kicked by PB. It's sad to see people I've played with give in to the temptation of cheating. Is there a way to raise awareness of how PB operates? Thanks.
Krayzie Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 When you join the server it tells you that the server has PB. If you don't know what PB is then you could always google it. But most people who are stupid enough to get a cheat, know what PB is.
Antichrist Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 I don't see any reason to raise awareness to save the stupid people in the world.
Lo0n Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 it's a shame to see regulars give into cheating but it states that this server is protected by PB everytime they join, imo thats enough.
Brisk Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 If you're trying to cheat on a [non-aimbot] server and get banned, I think you just got what you deserved.
stabak Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 not all kicks are hacks, cheat or hack violation numbers are 50000 and higher.

Chuckun Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 When I first installed ET when it came out, I didnt know what PB was when it asked whether to enable it or not.. But it actually tells you what it is.. So I dont see how you could install ET and not know.. Anyone who feels the need to use a cheat doesn't deserve our energy, hence I wont be raising awareness. >.<
