Counter-Strike v1.2 & Cheats
Upon release of Counter-Strike 1.2 this month, the Cyberathlete Amateur League will require all match servers to be in the new "pure" mode during official matches. I wanted give everyone a nice advance notice so you can get used to playing with all the default player skins, weapon models and crosshairs.
Pure servers settings. That should cut down on at least some of the hacks. A pure
server setting generally speaking will compare all the files on your drive to the server
and if you're running any different models or skins it gives ya the boot. Keep in mind
this doesnt have any impact on the wall-hack video drivers. (Unless of course the phrase
'pure server' also encompasses something other than how Q3 works) Hopefully Valve
has something in mind for the wall-hack too.
Speaking of cheats, CAL recently booted
a team from their top league for cheating and banned a couple of the guilty player from
ever playing in future events. Cheaters = suck.
