On the other hand, the amount of completely innocent people who get kicked out of server because their punkbuster fails to update automatically, or who unknowingly have an incorrect setting in their config file is far higher than the amount of cheaters caught. Not to mention the performance issues with punkbuster constantly thrashing your harddrive and the numerous video card incompatibilities that have occured.
While on the surface it seems as though it is a good idea and will create a better experience for the basic user, in practice punkbuster seems to me to create more problems than it solves.
