Zold, i think that isn't a good idea because even if u're running in a HB 204 server with a 203 HB or Fake i think the Server's HB is which checks the cheats, and not the HB in ur VC folder, this is what i think, but however it would be possible to make a fake HB extracting it, but this doesn't solve cheats detection problems i think.
Think more about this.
Why would the game download a file to your folder as an HB update if the server did all the "thinking"?
Take it from me...a "faked" HB file revision does work.
You can join any server no matter what the HB revision it wants you to have.
The GAME PATCH revisons are what tells the game engine what to do and all other anti-cheat information is in the call to HB file.
Now as anyone who has played with "whatever-name-of-the-day" I may be useing can see by my scores...I do not bother to cheat. In fact tho I may not be the best player..I am not the worst player.....however I am old and I kind of SUCK over all if I can't camp for hours.
But I do NOT have an HB file "per say"...and I CAN join any server no matter what the HB revision # they are useing.
As long as the "seen" revision # is at LEAST as high as the one the server is useing you can get into it.
Test it yourself...just remove the HB files down to 202 (201 had problems as you may recall) and start your own server. People have no problem joining it.
Now if you don't want to use a "blank" HB just rename the build on # HB202 to HB204 and go into any server you want. If you have any issues with CRC just pad the file to the same size.
It is not rocket science!

Myself I just have problems with any software that wants to instal itself without me saying "ok" the way HB trys to do.
