So CD isn't any good cause it's third party, but turning it over to PB would be different how?
As for using a third party solution causing a division between everyone... I think that's a cop out as well. I find it very, very hard to believe that anyone plays CS/HL without the aid of any other program. Be it the GameSpy type application, an IM client to meet up with friends, (since Friends is often down) IRC, etc. That's like saying don't bother running a firewall cause windows is fine the way it is. Or don't use a anti-spam program cause junk mail can just be deleted. I'm sorry... I'm all for VAC, I really am. When it first started I had high hopes for it... but unfortunately VAC hasn't become what it should have, and I don't really see that changing. That being the case, there is no option but to look for a third party solution. Be it CD, some type of PB program, etc. CD is updated much more then VAC.. so my money is on that for the time being. This wasn't totally directed at David Lee - just my thoughts on the past few messages about VAC and CD.

It is a temporary fix. A patch on top of a patch where neither work the way they should. All current anti cheat schemes for HL dont work. Valve's best bet would be to just outsource the cheat protection to a group who has a dedicated team to handling the problem. Punk Buster anyone? At least if this were to happen, one group would be responsible for the blame. Currently, all complaints get directed to another group when a cheat isnt detected. CD dont work? Well tell valve to fix vac. VAC dont work? Well maybe you should try VAC. See what i mean? Neither work, and CD only causes problems with steam updates and does something that steam should do. Valve just use punk buster. Let them worry about the cheats. 1.6 in its current state needs enough to be fixed in the server code alone. You guys really can't afford to be wasting your manhours on VAC as well. Ender wrote: > C-D is third party. We don't want a third party solution.
