Globel Punkbuster Ban

[BlackMaria]

Ive had a GLOBEL PUNKBUSTER BAN come up on my screen.
I can not play online at all!
I think its a complete piss take, that Punk Buster/EA can make people spend alot of money on a game and graphics cards ect, and be banned completly for online play especially when youve got a high rank and been playing for months! They should be Sued!

If anyone knows how to get around this Ban, then please let me know.

thanks.

LOL EA makes mistakes, a lot of them... but I'm still betting on hacks, I guess dude just didn't know what's the "punishment" was for getting caught.

Yeh... not to mention all the money you spent on buying hacks (if you bought them) on top of all the hardware updates.... sucks doesn't it :laugh:

Re: Globel Punkbuster Ban

That's a shame.

A good way to prevent hardware bans, is not hacking.

Re: Globel Punkbuster Ban

If you didn't really hack (*cough*doubt it*cough*)you can contact them and see if they made a mistake.

That was his first post, and probably his last post here.

Re: Globel Punkbuster Ban

And how can they be contacted?

Re: Globel Punkbuster Ban

You need to send an email to whoever made your hack and ask them to contact EA for you. Duh.

Re: Globel Punkbuster Ban

Buy a new computer to circumvent a hardware ban? Holy cow, that's like nuking a common housefly. It costs too much and is completely overkill. PunkBuster hardware bans are based on your MAC address and/or harddrive serial number iirc. Chances are you got a GUID ban for using some nametag hack while the admin was on her period. Your GUID is calculated from your CD-key, so buy a new key or start playing on non-pb servers.
