BASH

In this week’s episode, we discover the world of Call of Duty Tactical Gaming (TG). To help us understand what this gameplay is like, we asked Jazz, General of the the fabled [509th] Tactical Gaming clan to come on and give us the full scoop.

I will be the first to admit that, my first introduction to TG scared me away. There was a lot to absorb for a noobie like me and the speed of the game was much slower than I had been expecting.

It was only on the second attempt that I started to “get” this form of play - and now I have been hooked. Hopefully you will try it out, the benefits are many.

The slow play brings your imagination into the fray. In this game…being fragged counts for a lot as it is very difficult to recover positionally if you are eliminated: spawns are relatively a long way away in TG. For this reason you are on pins and needles all the time…so much so that play becomes exhilarating and yes…addictive.

This week on BASH, we have the eSheriff of on-line FPS gaming on the program: Rob (RodeoBob), co-founder of the online anti-cheat service pbbans.com.

He has come on the program to tell us what pbbans.com is all about and to chat about all the great things his organization is doing.

Here are some of the questions we ask RodeoBob to answer:

What is PBBans and how did it start?

Why does the FPS community need PBBans?

What is the relationship between PBBans and EvenBalance? What is pbbans Master Ban Index? How does one get added to that Index? What are the minimum requirements? Does it always take a PB violation to get on the list?

A few weeks ago there was a DDoS attack on pbban’s website - what happened and what steps have been taken to prevent another outage?

Players and admins should listen to this program to get the inside scoop on the latest anti-cheat technology in online gaming.
