With all the ambiguity surrounding the ongoing issue of wait binds, weapnext binds, and packet binds it is time to lay it straight. As the rules state, the use of a bind or script in game is illegal. Simple as that.

This includes (for clarity's sake) some of the favourites of many of you (and yes we have been watching you for a week or two now):
maxpackets or packetdup binds along side your movement keys
weapnext; wait x; weapnext binds - even without +attack on them

If you are found to have an illegal bind or script in your configuration through the traces that will be run at least 3 times during a single map match, then you will be subject to a match ban. If it is found that you actually used any of these binds, then your team will lose the round in which the bind was used as a minimum, and this may scale up to a match loss depending on the level of use involved. Of course, all penalties are at the discretion of the admins, and these may apply on the fly in game, or after the match as appropriate.

cool so if its just in ur config you can get banned? coz i dunno what the hell is in my config so... uh oh. im not familiar with any oher binds apart from the weapnext bind. shud be safe

what about packet binds not near your movement keys?

If it creates anything of the warping, then of course it'snot going to be allowed, but if you are purely toggling your rate based on your connection, then it will be fine. Use common sense, if you're trying to create some sort of advantage for yourself in using the bind or script, then it's likely you shouldn't be using it. If it's just optimising your connection to a server and making your game smoother (which is the intention of the various commands being exploited) then it's fine.

If you're not sure, then ask an admin.

Good to see these exploits being stomped on, nice work

LOLL BL FRAY WONT EVEN WIN A ROUND ANYMORE

you forgot exec's

still wont stop someone from hotkeying tho

[sm-bawl]there goes my mysterious teleporting secret

No more flesh light?

Can someone please host up a config that DOESNT have these lame ass binds that people have been using for 8 seasons and have become bannable suddenly?

They have always been illegal narkie, it'sjust now they are becoming rife in the community, and things like maxpacket + movement binds are taking it to extremes.

bannable suddenly?

they've always been against the rules?

Yeah ok bazz, so whos been banned in the previous 8 seasons due to it? ( im not complaining here either guys).

im just one of those people who have a 'pro 1337 downloaded config' and is not sure if i have these binds and do not wanna get banned for something stupid like this.

It's simple, all you have to do is just into cod4, don't enter into a server and type /bindlist in console.
Look through your list for stringed binds that usually have are listed like this for maxpackets binding:
[key] "+forward ; cl_ ~~~"

Or if you've got the weapnext bind it'll of course look like:
[key] "+weapnext ; wait 2 ; +weapnext" or some other variant of that.
If it just plainly looks like the one below then that's the only allowed binding for it
[key] "+weapnext"

Just simply type in /unbind [key] and then remap it through going into your controls. Not all that hard and it's pretty easy to fix up so there shouldn't be any whinging about it being too hard to do.
