Even Balance has dropped support for Call of Duty 4. The CoD4 section on the EB website has been removed.

Streaming support will continue for the time being.

if you have installed and updated your pb before you will be fine...

 

if you are going to (re)install it today you need to copy this pb folder into your game install

 

thats it...

To answer my own question, the appdata pb files seems to be built from the files in the game directory pb folder.

I deleted the appdata folder and then extracted the pbbans files into the game directory. After running the game the appdata pb folder had been rebuilt based on the new files in the game directory.

I installed a cod4 server the other day, was wondering why the pb update tool didn't work lol, I had to manually upload pb files from a working server, now I know why.. hope this isn't going to be the end of cod4, I know activision have had it in for us pc gamers since mw2.

what is pbbans stance on this?, will you continue to support streaming from our servers? if so for how long? coz with NO anti cheat its game over..

We will still support it as much as we can, same as COD2, CODWaW

- Servers can still stream

- MCi will be updated (MD5 and cvar)

- Screenshots can be submitted

 

Only there will be no PB updates, kick/ban violations, etc.

I am trying to connect to server where i'm one of the admins but ob keeps kicking me after few minutes. I tried to download files mentioned here, put them to pb folder in cod4 install folder, replaced some of them, deleted pb folder in appdata but no use, it keeps kicking me. What should I do now?

Agree, that is one way to kill a great game. New hacks will be undetectable I guess.

Okay it does not work now. I did the same thing as last time & put it in my game file but PB updates itself & restores to the non supportive version. I do not know what I am doing wrong or if this file is out of date, HELP.

Not sure if this is the place to post this...

Ok...Trying to help anyone that can't figure out the pb+legacy stuff.

I couldn't get the drop down in pb update for cod4 either. The Instructions given through google seraches and forums are confusing. I simply put the legacy files on one half the screen....and the actual cod4 pb file on the other half the screen.  I then deleted the idividual cod files, in the pb folder of cod4, one at a time. Then dragged and dropped the legacy file that matched into the pb file for cod4. After that there were files still remaining in the legacy files...so I dragged and dropped them in the cod4 pb file. Started the game and was able to sit idle for a long time without issue from punk buster.  If this helps ...great.

My thoughts about the whole thing is this: Why cant punk buster leave cod4 in the drop down? When players need to install pb using pb update... they would only recieve the files that were last updated before evenbalance stopped updating. That is the simplest thing in my eyes view. However there also may be other reasons for Evenbalance not having cod in ther at all. This may be because EA approached Evenbalance to have P.B. in BF4? Maybe EA said we will use Punk Buster...But you have to remove anything cod related...I Don't know...just a theory. Sort of a way to garuntee cod gets the least amount of attention? Who Knows. Spelling errors are a given...read through them as if they were the correct spelling. You should do fine.

Download the files above and place them in your COD4's PB folder:

 

C: > Program Files x86 > Activision > COD4 > PB

And...

C: > Users > Name > AppData > Local > Punkbuster > COD4 > PB  (Make sure you can view hidden files and folders or you wont be able to see this folder)

I have read this thread with interest, having been involved in Call of Duty 4 Clans for over five years. I am now a Clan Leader of a successful Clan and have never installed PunkBuster on any of them.

 

PunkBuster is unnecessary if you Admin your servers on a regular basis and lets face it, if you are running a server for the benefit of the players, you should be.  PunkBuster has so many shortcomings that any benefits of using it or outweighed by the problems.

 

I find it hard to believe that serious CoD4 players think that PunkBuster is somehow essential, as some contributors to this thread have said:


"with NO anti cheat its game over....... hope this isn't going to be the end of cod4"


In common with many Clans who run successful Call of Duty 4 servers without PunkBuster, I see no sign of the popularity of this game decreasing. Subsequent versions of Call of Duty have been forgotten, but Call of Duty 4; Modern Warfare lives on.
