GameTracker’s COD4 rankings appear to have a serious issue with servers using fake or undetected bot players/traffic to artificially inflate their player counts and rankings.

My PAK PRONESS COD4 server has been running with 100% real, organic players and has held the #1 position globally for around two years. Recently, servers that appear to have almost no real players are ranking above it, despite showing unusually high player activity.

I understand that properly detected AI bots are not supposed to count toward GameTracker rankings. The problem appears to be servers reporting fake/undetected clients in a way that GameTracker is counting as real players.

Could GameTracker please investigate the current top COD4 servers and review whether their reported player counts are genuine? The ranking system should reflect actual player activity, otherwise legitimate servers are being pushed down by artificial traffic.

I would appreciate an official response on whether GameTracker has recently changed its bot/fake-player detection or ranking system, and whether suspicious COD4 servers can be manually reviewed.

It's the same in Call of Duty 2, it seems there are problems with the gametracker.
