Punkbuster? Yay! Options

[Morphious]

Just got an email from Grant Collier, President of Infinity Ward, concerning the patch and PunkBuster.

Since the release of Call of Duty, Infinity Ward has been researching the various cheats that online players have been coming up against.  While we have made fixes for many of the cheats out there, Infinity Ward knows that this will be an on-going issue.  So with a long-term "Anti-Cheat" strategy in mind, Infinity Ward has worked out a deal with "Even Balance" to have Punkbuster added to Call of Duty.  This will be an optional addition for players, but we expect that certain servers and competitions will make it mandatory.

Since Infinity Ward is determined to get the current patch out as quickly as possible, Punkbuster will be added to the next one in production.

Looks like we'll be getting PB after all. Lets hope they can knock out two patches fairly quickly.

Thanks to Grant for the update!

IW was willing to spend money on the AC...they weren't willing to spend the kind of money that Even Balance wanted, though...so they had to come to some kind of agreement, which is what took so long.
