After the appointment of the new Game Superivsor & Cup/Ladder Supervisors which can be found here, we have promised to review our rules, listen to your feedback, suggestions and alas have decided to amend the most hot topic this year, yes, the use of PunkBuster & Game-Violation Streaming.
The Enemy Territory ClanBase Crew has decided the following:
- Disabled for EuroCup
- Disabled for NationsCup
- Forced for OpenCup
- Optional for Ladders
- Disabled for servers streaming to GamesTV
PunkBuster
- Disabled for EuroCup
- Disabled for NationsCup
- Forced for OpenCup
- Forced for Ladders
Which means that PunkBuster & GV Streaming will not be used for the NationsCup & EuroCup (therefore EC/NC Matches played on GamesTV Matchservers will not use PB or GV, PunkBuster will only be used unless both teams agree on it). Please keep in mind the following may change according to what anti-cheat will be used (if any). We have the right to force any anti-cheat.
In the OpenCup & Ladders Case, PunkBuster will always be used while GV-Streaming is only forced for the OpenCup (unless the server is streaming to GamesTV) therefore all GamesTV Servers can remove GV-Scripts & Streaming.

e: I would say leave it to the teams wether to play with or without punkbuster, if one team wants without and the others disagree, then always with. only if both teams agree to play without, play without.
...
Atleast use GameGuard or something... playing without anticheat is stupid. Sure PB lags but GameGuard has no footprint whatsoever.
Antipro is almost ready. They're probably going to use that as soon as it gets out.
Let's just hope that's before the cups start...
Rather disable it if both teams agree, that makes it more fair. And pb lag isn't THAT unbearable...
btw: is there any NL site where is possible to check appartments / houses or smtn for rent? Will move to ned in a year or two prolly if everything will be ok :]
i have 1.5mbit, so cut the whine
+1
STOP FUCKING ASSLICKING EC TEAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT ONLY THEY PLAY ET FAGGOTS, ACTUALLY OC GOT FAR MORE TEAMS AND PLAYERS THAN EC!!!!!!!!!!!! SO IF U WANT TO DISABLE PB DO IT FOR EVERYONE FAGGOTS

I can see the future:
150 clans applying for EC after massive skillboosting
Nationcup captains will have their whole country applying for the team
And because you can't take it you will change the rule back and EC dropouts and Nationcup skill will be lower then ever.
GOOOOOOODluck clownbase :D
but why this rule anyway? cause of the complaining from the top-players or because clanbse thinks this will improve the competative scene?
so demos from gtv will do (or maybe antipro will be out by that time)
i can even use another anti-cheat if i want, but let's see how it goes now
you're just giving ppl a free chanse to cheat. sure pb doens't detect private bots. but it will still scare some ppl away. Some ec players also get bord of the game sometime. like edit did, and now you just give thouse ppl a free chanse to cheat ... imo pb still scares alot of potensional cheaters away. good job!
As for the noname clans suddenly appearing in EC; not going to happen...
For example, blurred vision, gnajda, etc have played eurocup. More random polaks will follow.
:d
a bit late imo
Finally all the "high" players can stop whining too
Now you better stress foxdie :-p
I also hate PB but we still need it when there ain't yet a 100% working replacement
And just a hint : IF teams wanna play with PB on NC / EC level, they can surely do so :)
the cheaterteams won't do that so that's a stupid suggestion..
people will always be scared by PB, even if it sucks and doesn't find the private botters imo.if you delete the police, then people won't be scared anymore to commit wrong things
would much rather have possibly few guys cheating at EC that wont even make it to the playoffs than play with weird lags all the time
Like unfairbuster. For guys who just need to win by lame forfeits.
Just wait with pushing through changes till antipro.. if it ever gets released.
now just needs antipro
cb staff is really a joke
how can these kids kill our game so easily, this is really a stupid decision :(
thx kids
Do you think i cant give my opinion just because i'm low?
and its only like this until antipro is ready and et will get an anti cheat tool without lagging ;)
I find this to be one of the best decisions CB has done for a long time. in fact, I cant remember any single changes from top of my head that would be more influential when ruling out some of the config changes.
but : "not to mention that when you start playing with cheats, you are very easy to get noticed"
or not. A newbie starting to play with cheat is easily recognizable, but an experienced player can start to cheat and none will see anything. Someone who already has the move, the brain and a decent aim will just get a liitle more skill, just the little stuff needed to go in higher level.
and yes, ec is different than oc. skill and number of teams/players participating in the cup overall. prestige also.
i only wonder why it took them so long to actually do this (well i know - donex :p).
(np with your english tbh :). cheers! )
plebiscite or plebiscide
Just hope Anti Pro won't take too long because playing without any anti cheat is just asking for problems
PB is shit and lags people in EC/NC who are clean.
And it should be forced on in OC because that's mainly where you get the random 100 headshot pwners.
Good choice. Hope to see anticheat soon though.
If it comes down to a case where this is happening, it is most likely due to them cheating.
good example is FiF/YoYo who kinda poped up from nowhere, winning or at least taking maps from enemies that were considered much stronger... if some1 got similar opinion to yours they would be banned before they reached peak of their skills [cc6]...
same case with single players... for how long mAus or butchji were considered as cheaters... Yet, mAus got his chance in TLR, and he could show his skills @ lan... But what if some fucktard banned him because of some stupid avi?
We have to trust in other players, they have right to be better...
golly gosh indeed
(Oh wait... I'm low, so I've to go post this comment on "lowfire.eu", isn't it?)
imo good decision
"we know ET is flooded with hacks and we cant do anything about it. we know now that any player could have hacked for years. still we will make OC players lag even though they are not any less 'known'/trust worthy than the random EC/NC players these days that ET has to come up with to pretend there is still something to it. So we simply dont do anything about ETs worst plague and pretend its only the common folk cheating."
dream on killernoob.
cheaters won.
and i hope that this decision does only mean that you trust EC/NC players to pay for their hacks rather than the OC players who ofc use a public, already busted hack.
killerboy exposed more lists then anyone else back in the years as long as i remember right.
He got a great sense, abit arrogant but who's asking you.. he's making his job
Killerboy: atlist push chplja to use the existing version of anti-pro, it will make a part of the job i guess and it will give chplja more motviation to finish it
and even more this is about a "leadership" (speaking of ET this doesnt mean much, i know) that makes a decision without thinking twice, this is legendary... dumb.
- Nexus
- Palehook
- ETH
- Crushr
- etx
- WnX
Gream Team, Great Decision
ROTFL
anyway looking forward for antipro
if we dont use any anticheat - typical player (cheater) can easily googling for aimbots/wh/... and without any problems (and money too) use it
Love to hit PL with low-computers(not in a sexual way)
this is the biggest bullshit i ever heard of! Its not that you are finally ruining this game, you are just weak in defending this game from cheats!
Execuses like "Privat hacks are even with PB undetectable" are kinda weak and it CANT be a solution, to give up chasing cheaters. Thats like giving up anti-doping tests in sports, just because there are some meds/dops you cant figure out with todays technology.....
Why havent you waited for AntiPro to come out?....
Welcome to all the fkn gnajdas out there, have fun playing EC and NC! And plz, i see it come, plz dont reply to me, that the most of the EC/NC will consist of clean players (due to some captains doing a good job) - that doesnt count! You are telling me, that the PB laggs destroying this game and making it unfair? Oh yeah, every single cheater makes it ever more unfair!
This is just a fkn bunch of bullshit! With things like this, you are ruining this game for me as a fan. I doubt, that i could enjoy watching a EC/NC match while knowing that theres no way to know if someone is cheating or not.
hopefully antipro changes things, but for now, pb is only downside for legit players.
people cheat if they want to
means pb wont catch them after all????? wtf is that
pb is still more accurate then nothing imo
It's just some bullshit made up to cover the fact that you sucked during a particular game. And everybody just jumped on the bandwagon because it's so easy to blame something instead of looking for the fault at yourself.
Sure, PB gives an occasional lagspike but so what? Lagspikes occur in every game. People should just stop being such babies.
I used to pub all the time, now i don't even bother anymore, no fun in trying to aim for a guy with 15fps (more people, pb goes craaaazy). Any1 that ever played with me knows that I'm pretty good at this game and that I usually don't even need excuses.
so EC&NC players can play lagfree and the others got fucked because they are not "known" or whatever?
i mean if some1 rly wants to cheat he can even cheat with pb, so where is the prob to allow OC players to play without PB?
*wanna hv a answer plx* - myguess "OC is to random and we will hv a lot of messages in our inbox cuz of cheaters*
uhm? :D
anyway waiting for antipro
Public cheats are ridiculous (seriously go load one up they’re terrible) – you’d notice within 2 seconds of speccing them – private humanised shit is already undetected – end game being…?:)
Personally this feels like a brilliant ploy by Killerboy to finally put the cheat producers out of business… take away their customer base, push them under then bring back PB – noice!
SIMPLE.
I would say it's better to use PB when 1 of the 2 teams wants it. If you have to play some team with suspicious players, you rather want to play it with PB but if the other team really cheat, they will never accept to play with PB.
Don't really care about decision.
When pb is turned off it all magically dissapears besides the lag caused by my stupid brother that is :D
pb off: none if this things occur
conclusion: pb causes the lag
and yea, playing with/without has its pros and cons. but pb didnt really evolve in anything better and it obviously cant get any better, it's useful just to prevent pub cheats, the good ones pb will never actually recognize...so i dont really mind playing with or without it. GV was one one big FAIL, and that should be disabled without any thoughts.
But also we should remember that most of players whine about pb cause it isn't able to catch cheaters. And not about lag thingy
maybe get some skill and u can play ET without PB then? D:
instead of whining why EC players don't have to play with pb and u do.. it's simple .. OC is full of random hackers '-'
where's the logic here, let's disable PB for EC players and leave lag for OC, who cares about lower divisions. if we disabled PB for them, they would all start hacking obviously with public cheats like nexus and nobody will be able to recognize it
stop whining, pb only detects pub cheats.
