Absurd Posted July 29, 2002 Share Posted July 29, 2002 "[id] software taking action... Posted on Sunday, July 28 @ 18:01:48 EST by CAL|David Upon release of the new OGC cheat (available here), many leagues and mods for Quake 3 Arena have been very uptight lately. Wondering whether some players are eligible to stay in the leagues or whether they cheat. With the concern of thousands of Quake 3 Arena players nationwide, the Cyberathlete Amateur League has taken the first stand against the new wave of hackers and cheaters in the game...

As you know so far, there is a petition online being signed by thousands of gamers to show their support of the game and to give [id] software a boost in creating a point release. For all of you who haven't signed yet, you can find it at: http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?prid12 Sign it to help support the Quake 3 Community. CPMA, of course, the first of all quake 3 mods to take action against the bot. Creating a new 'official' release in hopes of stopping cheating/hacking in the CPMA modification of Quake 3 Arena. Orange Smoothie Productions is underway in creating a new OSP version for Quake 3 TDM. The new release is days away, but unfortunately will not make it on time for the Double Team Tournament. Talking to OSP creator a|rhea, here is his simple one sentenced comment: "a|rhea: well, I definately have a couple things to fight it" With mod admins taking action in helping to save the game of Quake 3 Arena, the battle against hackers/cheaters seems to be winning in this case. With the combined force of mod admins and [id]software programmers working a new point release, game play will be fair and eligble once again.
