  So punk buster and EA Link are somehow the same thing??  WHATEVER....    Thanks anyway.  I guess the bots will be my friends...I was trying to get help and the EA site spit the following out:PUNKBUSTER TECHNICAL ISSUES
Before you begin:
  • PunkBuster is not an EA-made program. It is developed by Even Balance and used in many online games.
  • This guide will have all available information regarding troubleshooting PunkBuster issues for EA games. For more help, reach out to PunkBuster Support 
  • You must appeal any PunkBuster Ban with Even Balance by opening a ticket by finding and clicking your game on the Support page and then clicking "Web Ticket System." EA Advisors cannot overturn PunkBuster Bans

What games use PunkBuster? 

Quite a few games run the PunkBuster services, you can find a full list on their homepage. Here are just a few EA titles: 

  • Battlefield 2
  • Battlefield 3
  • Battlefield 2142
  • Battlefield: Bad Company 2
  • Battlefield Heroes
  • Battlefield Play4Free
  • Battlefield Vietnam
  • Medal of Honor
  • Medal of Honor Warfighter


Can I play without it?
You are not required to use PunkBuster. However, you will not be able to join any server that runs PunkBuster Services. There are servers that do not use PunkBuster services, but lack of anti-cheat software can definitely degrade your gaming experience.
 

How do I install PunkBuster?

Even Balance, Inc. are the developers of the anti-cheat software, PunkBuster. Working with game developers, they have created a tool to help identify cheaters in-game and remove them. Any server that runs PunkBuster enforces PunkBuster bans because no one wants to play with a cheater.
