Cheating-Death in UA's hands

Posted by The Oracle at 02:22 27/12/2002.

It appears that United Admins - the creators of HLGuard - have been given control of the client side anti cheat program, Cheating-Death. CDeath, who helped fight the war against cheaters, is now taking a rest and has therefore given UA the reins (and sourcecode) of CD. This is good news to the guys of UA, and they look forward to working on a client side anti cheat program. Here's the official press release from unitedadmins.com

Thursday, December 26, 2002 - Today, United Admins ("UA") has acquired the client and server popular anti-cheat solution known as Cheating-Death. CDeath himself, wishing to pass on the development of his program, approached UA, which gladly accepted.

"This couldn't have come at a better time for UA." said Nick "HoundDawg" Slevkoff, UA Chairman. " Since HLGuard has already pushed the limits as a server-side only anti-cheat, we were planning on extending HLGuard to the client-side. Now, with Cheating-Death, this can now be achieved a lot quicker with the reduction of duplicated development efforts just to reach where Cheating-Death is today."

UA's HLGuard Project Team will assume control over the Cheating-Death project as well. They will have access to the source soon and begin designing the future of these solutions into a solid anti-cheat solution for game server Admins. UA will continue to provide HLGuard as a server-side only anti-cheat solution.

Nick continues, "It's amazing to see how two, once competing projects (Cheating-Death and CSGuard) can eventually come together and provide a more complete anti-cheat solution."

UA plans on working with MOD developers to integrate the new anti-cheat solution with their MOD which will help maximize it's distribution and effectiveness.

We look forward to see what UA will do now that they have the sourcecode of CD at their disposal. Best of luck to UA and CDeath.
