Punkbuster allows people to play the game hack free unless ofcourse, the hack hasn't been discovered yet. You are considered uneligable to play unless you have it installed and updated. In order to update PB it's automatic but can also be manual. I've tried manually updating PB becuase it wasn't kind enough to be implamented into the game for my convenience. I've done this before and it worked, but sometimes it doesn't. I don't know why.
There are massive online games that don't have PB that work just as good. Take "World in Conflict" for instance. When you are banned from a server by an ADMIN, who either owns the server or has extensive rights to the server, your IP address is blocked from that server. You can't just remake an account to get in.
PB needs to have some sort of attachment in the game. Such as Call of Duty 4. There should be an option in BOLD letters saying, "CLICK HERE FOR PUNKBUSTER AUTOMATIC UPDATE." Then... every time you launch your game, it will search for new updates which should ALWAYS get you into the server unless previously banned by PB I don't know how that works. Since even though I update PB and my CoD4, it still wont let me into the servers. This is a constant battle I have it might have somethng to do with Vista. Even after I run the programs under Admin. I think PB should either fix their stupid problems or let someone else do what they do. It's so unorganized.
