"We are pleased to announce that Even Balance, Inc. has been contracted by id Software, Inc. to integrate our anti-cheat technology, known as PunkBuster, into the newly released yet already highly acclaimed Return to Castle Wolfenstein (RTCW). We are working hard to get the integration code written and tested for an upcoming patch to the game. Based on preliminary work, we fully expect to be able to support and enhance all areas of the PunkBuster system and sustain only a brief beta period with RTCW. The PunkBuster software will still be a separate and optional addition but will be directly integrated with the game when it is enabled by players and server administrators. As always, there will be no direct cost to players and server admins for non-commercial use of PunkBuster and we fully intend to support the clan and league communities, as well as mods that develop around RTCW with both free and premium support services and add-on software.
It is a real pleasure to work with game developers who are committed to supporting the anti-cheat movement, and the guys at id and Nerve have been extremely professional and great to work with so far. We want to encourage all PunkBuster supporters, who haven't already, to jump right into RTCW. There is no better way to support the anti-cheat movement than to buy products from developers who support what we stand for."
