Hackers on the rise?

[-Slayer-]

Absolutely yes. I think that there are now quite a few hackers on node servers - probably even more so than other servers in oceania.

Not really, most of the servers are pretty equal, we stop a huge lot of the overseas cheaters gate crashing in on servers because games.on.net runs a ping kick stop them.

Then we only have to deal with the local trouble makers once the ping kicker has done it's job.

Also welcome to the forums Chester 1 post, I see the second game alias you have is a funny one.

biggest problems i have are on GA servers...

oh wait, i cant join any servers anymore anyway cause the game is made of broken

[DeusIgnis]

I dunno about on node alone, i play on pretty much anything but GA...

but i have definatly come accross a few in recent times. One that i am 100% sure of was when i come around a corner to see a dude just standing there looking at a chainlink fence like he was AFK. Now i realise that he was standing behind it and just using it as cover as whatever hacks he was using gave him some wall hacks beyond a simple red triangle.

I had managed to flank him and keep out of his FoV, was AT with a SMG, from about 30 meters away i unload on him, not the best shooting, aimed for chest, kicked up into a headshot. but in that half second or soo he swung around with his VSS and put 2 or 3 rounds into me to kill me at the same time. Which makes me think that he is running something that takes advantage of the damage direction info you get and auto aims you with it.

guy ended up with something like 42-3

my 1 kill of him being in those 3...

yeah, I don't like to call hax, but HAXXXXXX

didnt notice it in the early days, dunno if that was cause i was **** and everyone seemed that much better, but in last few weeks it seems to have become more prevalent.

there was some esp type stuff in some promo vids i watched on youtube today looked like it warned if you were being aimed upon. quite sad really

[mazmatt]

Couple of weeks ago there was a guy on GA first time he shot me I thought hmmm, second time was wtf!...suss, third time was without doubt a hack.

He wasn't aimbotting but was definetely using wallhack, and it showed the most when on Panama Canal.

I was hiding in those burning tankers on the train line near C flag and he runs straight up and unloads a full clip except he didn't hit me because a small piece of metal was blocking his shots and he got killed by someone else.

So I took the opportunity to move realising I had been found out only to die by a single headshot from him even though was in a completely different spot and virtually invisible unless you were 5 feet from me.

By the end of the map half the players were calling hack and he and 1 other douchebag kept saying he was legit.

If you find someone is doing some very sus stuff in a server drop into IRC and grab one of us admins here IRC

One last thing please do not mention any names in this thread, if you want to you can PM them to me who you think is sus and I'll look into it, I won't tell you if I think there sus or not but I will follow up the name.

ur mum's a hacka.

[ChainsawMcP]

An (example) with a faux germanic name in particular comes to mind over the last few weeks. This idiot'll headshot you with a pistol from across the map while on the jump everytime.

Is he the same one who runs around using an M24 to headshot you... at close range... while running/jumping... and being shot at by three people in a squad...

I think HE might be hacking.

The only issue is that the vss recon/motion-sensor combo makes the kit that the alleged hacker was using very potent. While a 42-3 score should generally ring alarm bells, it is definitely possible with this kit. Also, the accuracy of the vss makes a turn around headshot not as difficult as people who don't use the gun would think.

I am not saying that the guy you were talking about wasn't a hacker, it's just that as an exclusive user of the vss, my scores occasionally reach into 40+/(<5), so I could see how he could get that score legitimately.

Haha speaking of hackers. I was playing on a 24/7 Atacama Desert server the other week and me and a mate were using the helicopter. Lasted the whole round without dieing once (I was flying and would jump out to repair the chopper if we took damage) and some guy on the other team goes "Whats with the chopper hacks?". Me and my mate laughed so hard. Good times. (were not hacking at all btw, i just like to fly alot)

I haven't came across any.. I don't think. Its too hard to tell like others have said with there being no KC or spec mode

[Rega]

Exactly. I wonder how the Admins can tell whether there is a hacker or not

We have our ways of knowing, but not I'm not telling you lot.

Yeh, Because I'm a hacker

But, Seriously. I fully understand that you don't want to share that sort of information.
