I was a little bit late on listening to this, normally listen when I get home on Friday, but it sounds pretty cool.

The cheating bit, On COD 1.3, If you had MSN running and a contact comes online, the screen would flicker creating a wallhack like effect. Now I can't get banned for that because it's a developer issue, yet with 1.4 with Punkbuster, If I want MSN going while I'm playing COD, I get kicked for silly things automatically by Punkbuster, though it doesn't have the same effect as it did on 1.3.

I'm behinf Punkbsuter all the way, but I don't like the idea that you can get hardware banned unless they have any real evidence (screenshots, videos) to prove it. I accepted the EULA when I downloaded Punkbuster and abide by it, but if they were serious, shouldn't something like this been brought out when COD was?

As for the XBOX 360.... bleeh. I'm not really interested in it, I want my PS3 already.

Nice Podcast guys,
Supersword

Even tho I downloaded this episode last week I only got arount to listening to it friday night - while playing COD2 MP What a great mix Turn your COD2 sounds down so it doesn't drown out the pod cast - easy peazy
