Sometimes, PB WILL not do anything about it. PB WILL GATHER INFO on them hackers though, and I can confirm on that. It was doing the same thing in BF2142. It need to study all the variations of the same hack and how many people use it etc etc. It's a study first and BAN HAMMER afterwards. The creators of antivirus programs are doing exactly the same thing. IF YOU can tell me one antivirus company that came out with the solution before the virus, you're the MAN. It's always the virus first, then a quick study on it to see exactly what is it doing, what is it's code etc etc and then do something about it.
When I said it happened the same in BF2142, I personally found a couple of websites that were selling hacks for 2142. I sometimes look for them when I get bored ... kept doing this as a passion and been doing this since I also participated in the bf2rankedservers program. Anyways, I was also talking to one of the guys from PunkBuster who checked those websites and told me in a couple of days/weeks he'll show me the result. A couple of weeks later, at least 800 players had their stats deleted and cd-key banned ( confirmed by EA in a public announcement ), also several servers closed and those website that I've found not working anymore.
So give it a bit of time, DO NOT say PB sucks because you have no clue whats going on. COD2 had no "protection" in it and we ( the ones who played it ) all know whats going on in that game ... So, I'd be grateful that we have at least PB in COD4.
