CPL Releases Anti-Cheat System

From the cpl press release:

Dallas, TX - Nov 9, 2006 - The Cyberathlete Professional League (CPL) announced the initial release of a software compliance solution for its online league, the Cyberathlete Amateur League (CAL). The CAL Anti-Cheat System (ACS) is a multi-game solution that will ensure fair competition in CAL tournaments and CPL online qualifiers.

CAL is pleased to offer its registered members an opportunity to experience ACS through a special preview edition, available at http://www.caleague.com/acs/.

The preview edition will be used to gather valuable feedback from the gaming community and provide enhancements to the client. All members are encouraged to utilize the client during online play and provide feedback on their experience to acs@caleague.com.

ACS will be gradually deployed into all divisions of CAL, beginning with the next season of Counter-Strike 1.6 following the CPL 2006 Championship Finals. Use of the preview edition of ACS is free of charge.

This new software is part of an ongoing initiative that will elevate CAL online competitions to a more professional level. The initiative includes an exclusive partnership with GameRail, the first nationwide network designed exclusively for optimizing online gaming traffic; and PlayLinc, a CPL-branded online game browsing and messaging platform that offers gamers more control over their multiplayer gaming experience.

If the CPL can come up with an anti-cheat tool that works and that replaces the lag inducing beast that is Punkbuster then more power to them. That is something that needs to happen at some point regardless of who does it. Failing that, at least something needs to provide enough competition to motivate PB to unlag their software.

For those of you that haven't tried PlayLinc I will give you my opinion of it. It looks like a great idea...but the server browser sucks. The VOIP component is peer to peer and it seems to work great. The fact that you need to get a AOL or ICQ screen name to use it is idiotic and nearly unforgivable. That took me an hour to find one that was available. Bottom line is why? There are other aps out there that do the same things better.

The last thing mentioned is GameRail. If you want to read up on it go to their site and check it out (and you should). The concept is so ingenious you would have to wonder why no one though of it before. All I know is that's something I would pay for gladly, assuming it works.
