I've heard they work and I've heard they don't. I've never tried to bypass one with a hack, so I can't tell you. I'm definitely not a fan of GameGuard, though. It's essentially a rootkit that hooks into your OS. I became aware of this only after I tried to launch Exteel one day, which BSoDed my system. It turns out that the version of GameGuard Exteel was using was incompatible with my firewall (Comodo), which has anti-rootkit features. Comodo attempted to stop GameGuard from doing it's business and GameGuard tried to disable the firewall - the conflict forced a reboot. That's bullshit and, as a result, I now eschew all games with GameGuard. There's no game I want to play badly enough that I'll tolerate it hooking so deeply into my system.
honestly i dont think DF will beable to afford PB as it costs a pretty penny to get a client version of PB i know people who have inquired in abtaining a legal copy of PB for a few games. its not cheap not just for the program it self but for everything that goes with it.
as for GG. HAHAHAH i disabled my comodo root kit thing to play a game (as i dont use bypasses) and i regretted it ever since.
i have come to the conclution given that in 10seconds you can get about 30 versions of GG bypasses.... its almost more worth while risking the danger to get a bypass for GG so it doesnt even install. not that i promote hacking im quite against it. but when its GG which as anyone knows GG blocks 0% of hacks. anyway HAAHH
id think GG is a public paid to use auto hacker ment soly to provide the require root kits and code to allow access to the game its paid to protect
IMHO opinion applications like punkbuster simply pass the problem onto a 3rd party PB developer. Battlefield 2142 for example I still see new aim bots hacks which are detected by PB and sometimes not. I personally am uncomfortable with PB for several reasons :
Game Developers ignore security aspects and client validation (some of the early BF hack were true awful.. e.g. commander lanuching many many airstrikes at once)
It does not replace good and FAIR server admin and talking to supposed "cheaters"
A process is always running on your machine
Hates some other applications like rivatuner or hardware temp monitering
Doesn't update fast enough sometimes
With BF2142 I personally feel the PB application is causing soft lockups sometimes
Someone with WAR might fill you in on its use there

I was SO dissapointed in GTAIV doing that to me after waiting so long for the pc version
Playing polished, lag free, feature complete games is carebear. Whining about a game you hate but still play is hardcore man!

Is this tacit acknowledgement that the game is rife with cheats hacks and exploiters?
People will always try to cheat, however punkbuster would make it hard for them. The question is if they have funds to implement it or not.

War used PB? Thatd explain a few things!
