Chain reaction !!!
Callvoting pb on is awesome.
Tartaros: Callvoting pb on is awesome.
Except on 1v1 servers.
why not 1v1 servers..? what is your thinking necro?
Well, if you're 1v1 with someone who's cheating and do /callvote pb_sv_enable... what's the chances they're going to vote yes? lol
Best case that can happen there is they'll disconnect (a cheater gets away) or just not vote at all, forcing you to leave the server.
hmm....id decided not to say anything about the pb issue considering that i cant play pb on at the moment...atleast not most of the time..however i would like to say one thing....pb is not the be all and end all on the issue of cheating....its not and it shouldnt be.....saying that someone who doesnt play pb is by default is a cheater/noob is simply stupid....as far as im concernced playing with pb on is simply a matter of dispute prevention....so playing cws with pb on is a good idea..however turing pb on on public servers isn't a good idea cos then ur simply dodging the issue of admining....if servers have good and active admins then u dont need to turn pb on all the time...
PB alone is useless. PB + Pure is the way to go. However, Wonko, that's why we've often decided to leave most servers without PB + Pure and have only well-known/highly-populated servers be PB + Pure at all times -- like 2!Sweet freeze.
The problem is servers become overrun with cheaters, and as a result people are driven away from playing at these other places. And not every noob is going to want to go to a place like 2!S freeze or MR Freeze (which are the only 2 servers I know of that are ALWAYS with PB and Pure on) because skilled players are almost always there.
What we need is a BALANCE between servers for experienced players and servers to attract newcomers. Having 40+ servers without PB and without Pure all the time is simply ridiculous considering there are only a handful of servers WITH them -- not enough to meet the needs of the community, who have a large number of regular and experienced players.
I think the right thing to do is leave one set of servers without PB and without Pure -- one server for each gametype, say -- and then have one other set as always PB, always Pure.
For example:
HK Euro TDM
HK Euro 1v1
HK Euro FFA
HK US 1v1
HK Euro CTF
All non-PB / non-Pure
HK U.S. FFA
HK U.S. TDM
HK U.S. Freeze
PHC U.S. Freeze
All PB / Pure
2!Sweet servers that aren't always PB + Pure almost always have an admin close by (Bert is a great admin and easy to get in contact with when other 2!S member admins aren't around). However HK have SO many servers in both the U.S. and Germany, it's very hard to track someone down in the event of a serious cheater problem.
Other new U.S. servers (such as the new PHC server through Gbit) are still in beta phase and testing, nobody knows their potential but we see many of them being populated regularly. Having only 5-6 admins to take care of 30 servers isn't very effective because they don't want to be server hopping all the time.
We need a team of admins who are also avid players so we can count on there being at least 1 admin in reach for any given server. E.G. experienced players who can play these servers intended to attract newcomers without worrying that they can't help a cheat situation any -- because no one else is around!
I seriously think we need a team of larger numbers to handle the problem.
i think the problem is that there is too many servers....
just now 121 servers and 228 players.... not even an average of 2 per server....
or MR Freeze (which are the only 2 servers I know of that are ALWAYS with PB and Pure on) because skilled players are almost always there.

sv_punkbuster 0
sv_pure 0
and btw if u callvote enable there are no cvars checked->missing pb_sv.cfg
and i think same problem on europe hk servers!
the only servers with pb+pure are some 2!sweet and ALL LEMON/EVOL/KO/DEST and more servers the highest skilled clanservers) servers
think again
