regarding the latest hack of Punkbuster many things come up in my mind.
talking about the positive:
The hacked part seems to be some core procedure of Punkbusters code in detecting "bad" signatures of other processes in RAM. it would not surprise much, if it was used in several editions of Punkbuster for other Games (that are still supported) too. COD4 for example.
[edit: CSS removed :P]
That hack then applies to all supported games, and this will really STRESS coders at Punkbuster. they need to fix that soon, or other games will have the same problem soon.
That means if assumption 1 is true, the Punkbuster Core Code needs to be re-written, which would in fact be really good for ET as a new Punkbuster would be released.
Anyhow, nC didnt do evil things here i think. Its the first time i consider nC Coders as hackers, not fucktard Moneymakers.

since when?
CSS has way more Lans with more prize money and a professional community where the top teams are sticking together for more than one event.
But true, the professionel level is much bigger/better than on ET + more supported by companies etc because the game is popular.
Thanks in advance ^.^!
and CGS
cs 1.6 got around 40 undetected PUBLIC cheats....

The old PB procedure with an updated db and some general fixes should fix this all afaik.
Insta-fail.
