At the moment, I can't see anything that easily reveals whether a player has a cross game ban. I'm talking specifically in regards to PB_GUIDs within games; BF3, BF4 and MoH:W. Ideally I'd like for the MPi/MBi to notify me that the player I'm viewing has a cross game ban. I know technically Linked GUIDs could be used to confirm cross game bans, but that method isn't always reliable. Whereas the cross game ban will be. So I'd like to see that separately notified to the end user. Examples:- d20caa9bc1273967e6e08443dd7e1f7e (BF3 Ban - BF4 shows up in Linked GUIDs) 69a73dbda01b2e8f7ae0a1f2c45ae016 (BF3 Ban - BF4 doesn't show up in Linked GUIDs) Cheers, Singh

Bumping this again. I wanted to submit this:- But I can't submit it at all because the server is Lite. I understand if PBBans doesn't want to add it to the MBi, but I think it should be added to the uMBi at least.

http://www.pbbans.com/forums/favicon.ico needs updating. It's the default one. I think it should be the same as http://www.pbbans.com/favicon.ico apart from that, can't spot anything else.

Looks like we'll have the option to turn off FairFight, but I think it would take the server out of Ranked status much like disabling PunkBuster currently does for BF3 servers.

...is this serious..?

My concern is slightly different. A lot of my banning now is based on stats (i.e. Damage Mods). If the FF can detect that, great! However, how many of us here have been killed around a corner? I'm guessing a lot of us. That's down to client side hit detection. What we (the victim) experienced is impossible. What they (the killer) experienced was completely possible. As I understand it FF sits between the the game server and DICE? Does this mean that FF is affected by lag and latency? If so, will it see the aforementioned events described as possible or impossible? I'm concerned that there is a chasm of what DICE thinks is possible and what is actually possible. And as I understand it, it's DICE who will set the global FF rules that apply to all servers. I'm also curious as to see what control of control it says. I'll be severely disappointed if it can only monitor information that we currently monitor (kill streaks, headshots, kills per minute). It needs to monitor more than that, and deeply analyze the information properly.

I do hope that isn't the case. NFO are pretty good. I've not heard anything about Hypernia, but they do look very professional. RocketBlast looks like they were set up yesterday. Meh, maybe I'll just stick to being a player in BF4.

Half that list is unknown to me. Best start doing some research...

One hopes that they would use the upcoming beta period to extensively test FairFight out. I'm still very reserved about it.

Thanks for the compliment :D I can't find much about how FairFight works at all. It looks like a plugin (i.e. Insane Limits). Funny thing is DICE could easily stomp down on cheaters (particularly damage mod cheats) with the amount of statistics they have available to them. If us admins can figure out damage mods from a few battle reports. Then DICE could do the same, only much quicker and a larger scale. Hire me and I'll do it for you DICE! I'm really not liking FairFight from those videos as it seems punish good players. And good players != hackers. I hope they have finely tuned it. Yeah I'm wondering about this too. Is it a per-server basis? Is this a plugin? Can we enable/disable it (i.e. like PunkBuster)? I'm wearing my cynical hat today and I feel like this new AC could create more problems than it will solve.

...beaten to it. I was going to post this as well. I have a feeling this might epically fail. Those videos are hilarious.

Don't know much about EOR, what's the lowdown on them?

BF4 Alpha Server files have leaked...

Or you know...you might move one really good player to the losing side...>_> xD

Heard good things about i3D, terrible things about MP. And never heard of myis...

Too bad I was really looking forward to trying out GD and comparing it with Rackage, NFO and GS.

A single GSP == no competition == charging through the nose for a server.

I made Colonel in under 16 hours...;)

Haven't used Norton in years. It used to be pretty awful and full of bloat. I've never really liked AVG. And I lump McAfee with Norton and generally stay away. Eset's NOD32 was good for a while until they released v3 I think. That's when it started to go down hill. And now I use Microsoft Security Essentials. best AV hands down. Bloat free, no hassle, set and forget. That being said the best security comes in layers. So a good AV is just one line of defence. SpyBot + SpywareBlaster, both utilize passive protection by blocking bad domains (via HOSTS file) and bad cookies. Then you should have a highly customized HOSTS file, I block a ton of bad domains. And most malware is served via ad infected networks. Switching your DNS to OpenDNS helps too. Then using a browser that implements a full sandbox is good idea too (Google Chrome). On top of this use AdBlock to remove any left over adverts (not many) and something like Ghostery to further block dodgy cookies. Haven't had any kind of infection in over ten years.

I love embarrassing deaths like that. Don't know if any of you guys here played ET:QW but you used to call down a medic crate by popping a green smoke grenade. The amount of times I would pop the smoke, throw it in a convenient place, forgot about it and then be promptly crushed my own medic crate was down right hilarious.

Or, an infinite amount: https://www.bitcasa.com/ Edit* And my DropBox has around 25GB of space :D

The PB_GUID is known spoofed GUID. Having that GUID is a result of using a cheat. Really the reason should be changed to "Caught by PBSS (Spoofed PB_GUID)" to avoid further confusion.

Rules/guidelines are there for a reason. And if you are trying to convince PBBans to change their current policy calling it retarded and unethical is hardly likely to help your case.
