Im not sure if this has already been said, but I was just wondering if there will be some kind of punk buster or anti-hacker programs that will be incorporated in this mod, Cause I know that hacking does happen but nearly impossible to prove. Still I love the idea of this mod and thankyou for puting your personal time into making this mod possible. thanks.

There will eventually be PunkBuster enabled and even moderated servers, but first there must be a mod.

I have an essay about hacking and how it will be eventualy stoped in its curent form. maybee i will throw it up here. A mod like MW:LL is ripe for some of the more forward thinking methods of dealing with hackers.

Lets not forget that modding in general started off as hacking the games. Either adding features, changing behaviors or something along those lines.

There already is a solution but it seems most people dont think its worth the trouble of doing.

Actually, he may be talking about memory randomization (which honestly is a beyond my skills as a programmer right now).

To answer this question, from what I know of punkbuster it searches for modified game files. Unfortunatly it is NOT the end all that EA seems to treat it, as so called "memory hacks" can access the data directly during runtime. (Consiquently, WoWs system of active monitoring of running programs IS a much better way of preventing hacking, but does also bring up privacy concerns)
