PBBans supports Red Orchestra 2

I don't think that there is any anti cheat software banning for macros.And i believe they are undetectable,what kind of anti cheat software would check your setpoint to see what action you have bound a key on?
tofupunk said he got PB banned for using macros once, so I'm just asking. Better safe than sorry.
There is a valid reason to check for macros. Even in Ostfront there is at least one macro which would be considered a cheat.
Well,the only macro i can imagine of that would be considered a cheat is rapid fire with semi auto weapons.But that can be easily fixed by capping the fire rate at the maximum a human can achieve.I don't think someone could click 10 times a second for example
10 times per second sounds quite nice, I managed to be quite consistent with 9 clicks per second =). RnL has the garand capped at 7 shots per second, so that is what I am used to though ^^.

Bottom post by punkbuster staff. They did ban for it at some point.
hmm, sounds good but since RO2 must have steam running & punkbuster and the steam overlay arent really friendly, pb kicks for that so i hope they could do something about that, since i want to have my steam overlay on while gaming to chat with friends and stuff
Ramm said something like steam overlay will only be restricted in the most "harsh" level of PB, which would be 3. He said that he personally thinks that would never be used for public servers.
But even for competitive gaming... I personally had great use of steam while playing competitive matches as I really needed to be able to communicate with the opponent in matters related to the match =).

this is great news ... VAC with its lack of a communtiy ban list sucks and .. punkbuster at default setting suck .. last i seen anyway .. that whole kick for 2 min.s and no bann for a detected cheat was very weak. but with the streaming servers for communtiy ban list and VAC for when the PB contrat runs out .. this could really extend the life of the game.
always good to start the day off with good news
will punkbuster and vac both be running at the sametime, on the same server ??

Indeed, PB is known for its "trigger-happiness", e.g. not allowing steam overlay ui and blaming Valve for updating its software
I use the steam overlay to take screenshots in CoD4, Bad Company 2 and Medal of Honor and I have not been kicked for using it. I do believe some older games like Battlefield 2 still gets kicked for using it though.
This is one reason why PB is picky over what it allows to hook into a game.
I'm really starting to get worried about false positives now
There is the occasional false positive but anti-virus software is no different and that's basically what anti-cheat software is. When they do occur on a massive scale they are reversed fairly quickly.
In BF2 and perhaps ofter games now PB has an option to kick for them but it's not enabled by default.
I use X-Mouse Button Control myself for Bad Company 2 and MoH because I can't bind the mouse wheel to two different functions using the game.
I can understand why some people don't like PB but at least we have a choice. If you want to play Battlefield on a ranked server you're forced to use PB. In MW2, Black Ops and Homefront you're forced to use VAC. Both have their flaws and limitations. VAC tends to be favored by pubbers more because it's less problematic, PB tends to be favored for competition because of the additional functionality such as streaming, pb screenshots, MD5 tool scans etc.
This short MP3 from the Rush Zone conversation with Tripwire explains how AC will work.

Can't wait to get kicked out of the game AND VAC banned for opening the Steam overlay.
And have as much cheaters as MW2?
I would choose overkill any day
Until, boom, you get banned and need to buy the game again, get a new steam account and only for one game when your current steam account has dozens of them. Yay, that must be fun
