I adminned servers for many years, from TFC to CS to UT to JK2 to BF2, and I have always found the best anti-cheat to be visible admin presence and an active community to report cheaters. This is why VAC is a fantastic anti-cheat system, as the delayed bans create a hesitancy there, especially with the added bonus of losing your Steam account. LAME! Not necessarily a better chance, but in my experience: - PB causes significant issues for many people (myself included, albeit not in BF3) - Admins are a significant deterrent - Cheaters often look upon PB servers as a challenge - Instant-ban anti cheats like PB are ineffective against cheaters with a brain, as the guys developing the cheats will always be ahead of the anti-cheating software (ala viruses vs anti-virus software).

When I see these " players " join the server I'm on, I quickly leave! It's a shame that some choose to use these cheats and ruin the experience for everyone else on a regular basis. It's more trouble than the occasional cheater.Īnd why is it that PB can catch some but not others? I check the PB BF3 ban list every so often and see a ton of aimbot bans, but at the same time, I know there are some aimbots that come and go freely on PB enabled server I go to and NEVER get caught. said: said: I always play on non-pb secured servers. It just seems like alot of them wouldn't want to risk being banned if they know they are cheating.Īnd why is it that PB can catch some but not others?

I know PB isn't the greatest as I have been on PB enabled servers and have seen known hackers/cheaters join and play regularly, but I have always though of PB as more of a hacker deterrent.

So you think that playing on a non-PB enabled server with an admin or not stands a better chance of being hacker/cheater free? I'll take a no-PB server with admin presence (or even without) any day. LOL.that's funny.where do you think all the " cheaters " go once they have been banned from the PB enabled servers? *BINGO*The funny thing is that you seem to think PB is at all effective at catching people that cheat. It's more trouble than the occasional cheater. Said: said: I always play on non-pb secured servers.
