A "game hook ban" is a detection by punkbuster that looks into certain memory addresses of the resident program (in this case sof2) and can tell whether or not an outside program has hooked into the "Soldier of Fortune II" window. Yes just like your gay porn sites Sof2 runs in a window on Windows machines. Each window is assigned a name and therefore can be hooked into with a dll file program. hense, pb started scanning the sof2 folder for files that didnt belong like somethingbad.dll. but the hackers got smart and now it has to detect it through the memory addresses...
hate to tell you mate but he had a cheat on his pc at the time of the kick...
