yeah it sounds like its more of a tea party than a war game. plz.
Really-I think that except such things as #%@-style filters and that hilarious Half-Life 1 thing, filters should be left out (excessive swearing should be handled by an admin who queries the person before kicking). Auto-kick filters should really be left out.
I gotta add that Sexual relations you n00b, ur a little parentless child. water blocking device cigarette. to my sig. Hilarious.

AH! LOL That's a horrible situation to be put under! Yeah, some of the server's punkbusting filters are kind of... horrible.
It's not PunkBuster that has a language filter; it's [url=http://www.bf2cc.com/]bf2ccd[/url], which then kicks you via PB.
EA Official ranked servers don't have this installed (it's required for admin features), so that's why you can curse all you want.
Coincidentally, bf2cc is an extremely poor piece of software that's been known to break the server if you look at it the wrong way.

Oh, I did not know that...so in reality, Punkbuster IS completely worthless.whatnot wrote:

What do you expect from a company you don't have to pay every month? Actual quality service? All they havta do is sucker you in once for $50 and then they don't care if you get killed at every server by noob toobers, bunny hoppers, l337 h4x0rs, and get sworn at by cruddy admins, stat padders, and accident punishers (as long as you don't complain about it to your friends who don't have it yet. Then, they care).
It's funny how far things have fallen...this argument you're presenting used to be prevalent only when talking about free software..."what do you expect for free?" Now we're using the same argument for software you pay for, but don't pay a monthly fee for? =Sstarman7 wrote:

Should we now only expect decent support if we're forking over cash every month? Jeebus, I sure hope not.
This game is six months and three patches old and we're still seeing the red/blue bug...yet the intro movie to SF kicks ass and they vastly improved the SP AI in a predominantly MP game. Priorities = out of whack.
But...I digress. What do I expect? At the very least, working, effective software. Is that really too much to ask? Hell, I'd even settle for quasi-effective software. For me, Punkbuster has caused more problems than it has solved...it has kept me from playing on a couple occasions because it's refused to update itself, yet it doesn't seem to get rid of cheaters, which is the job it was signed on to do.
I've seen many cheaters in recent months, but nary a PB kick for it. That makes me question its inclusion in the game for anything more than deterrence.
Problem is, when you've got dim bulbs like S=Unit92 linking to hacks every chance he gets in as many threads as possible, it sure doesn't help matters. Yeah, they're easy to find...but why make it easier?
All in all, it really doesn't matter. I love the freakin' game, and play it way too much...and I will not stop playing because some mental midgets have to hack to win. My SPM is over 1, my K/D ratio over 1, and my W/L ratio is over 1, and I have fun playing. That means I'm happy. If others feel the need to hack to get outrageous scores, so be it. However, enjoying the game doesn't preclude some basic expectations on the support front, like so many |33t fanbois want everyone to believe...and it also doesn't preclude some complaints.
Squeaky wheels get grease...with most game companies, anyway.
HAHA! Funny, sucks to get kicked for somthing lame.

Same here, just today; that angered me so much.DrDestruction wrote:
I've gotten booted for saying "cockpit".
Shouldn't it be easy to program the problem words like 'asset, cockpit, assault and night'?
Such a poor piece of software should be improved upon.
