-- -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] They did try outsourcing anti-cheating, remember Punk Buster, as i remember that originally a CS thing, honestly there is no really good cheat prevention except good admins. no matter what yo do they will find a way around it, they get there jollies off just trying to beat whatever is put in place, hell i know ppl who crack satellite TV receivers all the time, just to see if they can, it's not the whooping of ass in the game they like, it's the challenge of trying to defeat the system, it's what much of our misdirected youth does, they have no other real vent for the energies, and they don't see a silly little game as doing anything truely wrong, i admit it i have cheated in the past, and its kind of fun, but i was always honest about it before i even fired a round, the things these kids come up with to defeat the system is amazing, so i guess what i'm saying is, fighting over what way is the best anti-cheat method is silly, they will always figure out a way to circumvent whatever method you come up with, that is most popular.
