If you want to be in on the loop with submissions by your clan, then assuming your clan structure is fine with it - you should contact someone on the SGA team to have you added to the account. Everything is dealt with on an as it comes in basis but we'll very rarely share any information with anyone who doesn't appear to be authoritative for a team/clan.

Loads okay here... Get TS3 :P

And just to think... he may be on a bad luck run. August 5th is the Infinity Ward vs Activision Lawsuit date!

@Piggy: I think the images were just copy/paste embeds which weren't supposed to be there (happens with me sometimes). @OP: EA Answers Link: How do I report abuse of the scoring and ranking system in the Battlefield series? PBBans MBi/Ban Submissions for BF2142 * The only acceptable demo method is from an in-game demo recorder; there are no BF2142 demo bans at PBBans; * PBSS submissions are acceptable via a Team Account for an actively streaming team; * MD5 Violations and EvenBalance Violations will also appear on the MBi for those actively streaming to us. Your best bet in this situation is a report to EA. The only manual evidence the streaming team could submit to them, as above, is any PBSS evidence (and this won't show any possible aimbot).

Have done a little bit of digging around; see the "How to report..." EA Answer link. http://www.pbbans.com/forums/reporting-bfbc2-rankscoring-abusehackers-t125748.html

Recently we've had quite a few topics created by individuals wanting to report "hackers" in BF:BC2, here's some useful stuff: EA Support Answers * What are the Rules of Conduct for Battlefield: Bad Company 2? * How do I report abuse of the scoring and ranking system in the Battlefield series? Battlefield Report Forum @ EA UK Forums: http://forums.electronicarts.co.uk/battlefield-report/ Looks like it's a bit of a BETA idea but EA/DICE are also facilitating reports about cheaters/accusations in a dedicated forum on the EA UK forums. All reports are visible to you and appropriate staff only. PBBans MBi/Ban Submissions for BF:BC2 * Demos are not accepted for BF:BC2 as there is no in-game demo recorder; * Third party videos are not accepted for BF:BC2 due the possibility of editing; * PBSS submissions are accepted via a Team Account for an actively streaming team, from a streaming server; * MD5 and EvenBalance violations will also be banned for, and appear on the MBi, from streaming servers; * There are no CVARs for the Battlefield Series. PBBans Streaming Information You can make an application to stream to us at http://www.pbbans.com/account_application.php Our streaming application requirements are at http://www.pbbans.com/forums/streaming-application-requirements-t82423.html Submitting Cheat Files / Information PBBans Cheat Submission: http://www.pbbans.com/submit_cheat.php If you want to report unapproved software which provides an unfair advantage, or manipulates the game in a way that it was not designed to be played, use the cheat submission link above. You should not intentionally research, or test, cheats; ending up on our MBi and using cheat research as an appeal excuse will get you nowhere. Also, please do not post any information relating to cheats on our forums - we provide a cheat submission facility, please use it (or expect your topic to be edited and locked by staff).

Yet another reason for COD:BO to use PB... http://www.pbbans.com/forums/valve-reversing-accidental-steam-bans-t125740.html I think EB would have noticed this issue a lot sooner had they being doing AC instead of VAC; besides we certainly would have noticed once our MBi started filling up!

Add the following to your Punkbuster config file: pbsv.cfg This should verify that all clients connecting have valid GUIDs.

I agree; just because host migration and match making is in the game it doesn't mean we won't see the true dedicated servers we're use to. This is where MW2 went wrong, they did a complete replace instead of introducing "new" "easy" features for the apparent demand for those features. There's no doubt that MW2 could survive with both.

Due to the lack of integrated in-game recording in the BF series we do not accept demo's; the only method able to generate a ban in the BF series here is PunkBuster detections / MD5 matches to known cheat files and PB screenshots. You could try making a report to EA...

I split your topic to avoid reviving one from a few months back. I guess you could try... only EA will be able to give you a yes or a no to your request (all we can do is speculate).

Same difference :P

... come on PunkBuster and Public Server Files... *fingers crossed*

Let's hope PB/Public Server Files are announced soon!

Just ditch the /forums.html off the bookmark, never seen /forums.html here before.

Looks like Pisi-Deff gave you the link to the Staff AdminCP, SGA link for BF:BC2 tools is: http://account.pbbans.com/servertools.php Bear in mind GameTracker will only help you identify servers, it won't tell you which stream to us or not.

All of the servers on that list (http://www.pbbans.com/msi-server-list-bfbc2-36.html) stream to PBBans, MSI Link is the link on that page labelled 'MSI Link'. An SGA is you, or other members of your clan added to your PBBans team account (these should only be the most trusted members within your clan).

There is a list of streaming BF:BC2 servers, however it's only accessible to SGA's (so you'd probably be wise to hand pick a select few and post them on your forums). You'd need to click on MSI link and copy the server description in each instance in order to find the server. Unfortunately there is no way to mass import/find by IP - can't say DICE would see a huge demand for this either... http://www.pbbans.com/msi-server-list-bfbc2-36.html

nincompoop

How embarrassing for that GSP?! (news must have slipped by me, d'oh). Anyway, no DC - no streaming.

I'm confused as to how you can have a Battlefield: Bad Company 2 server, not hosted in a DC (by an authorised reseller), when there are no public server files for this game...

Suppose you could even say that! Either way definitely isn't going to get a ban here.

It reminds me of smoke or grenade effect. It's just not conclusive enough to warrant a ban.

Inconclusive.
