Here's a concept... What if you let ALL players use whatever skin they want, custom or stock. Then everyone is on equal footing and you dont have to worry about the anti cheat programs that dont work. Someone yells, "Cheater! you are using a bright skin!". The answer is "Well, Duh!" End of arguement. Actually, itsb better than that, no one ever crys. You want realistic, you say? Whatever, its a game, and realistic comes second to game play. Go play operation flashpoint if you want realistic.

So maybe we should have admins that police the servers. Well, I have found that admins dont police all participants equally. That means that the playing field isnt level. Still not as good a solution as letting all skins play. The no-fog, no-sunglare, no-recoil, transparent doors and wallhacks are all unfair, but a good player can still beat a mediocre player that uses them. Those cheats are where the real danger is. But thats not really the point of this thread.

I mostly play on a server that assumes players use skins. You can tell when someone is using them. Its pretty obvious. That server has some of the best, most even game play I have ever had on MOH. Many of the "regulated" servers are garbage, due to the inconsistent enforcement. Like I said, its pretty obvious.

I have said it before, but I will say it again, I WILL ABIDE BY THE RULES SET FORTH FOR THE SERVER. Check my files if you want, and I know people do. But I expect everyone else to play by the rules as well. And I expect them to be checked as well.

The concept of anti-cheat software is a good one. I just havent seen an admin/anti-cheat package that works yet. We can only hope that spearhead will solve the problem.
