Man these little hackers sure are getting creative.....or desperate.

PB takes screenshots of people playing to see if they are using hacks. But this little guy has a hack which makes a different pic appear. Say he was on karkand, hax0ring through walls, with red people everywhere, names tags and an aimbot, PB will take a screen but only see that Sar Wars thing instead of the hack. But dumb, considering BF2 isn't exactly star wars.

What would happen if you made a desktop backgroud of you playing battlefield w/o a cheat? Would that trigger the same thing? :laugh:

Re: why would pb ban for something like this?

Blockers usually give black screens because those are the least suspicious and easiest to make. Now this fella either wants to show he's a bit better hacker and has created a method to send any pic he wants. But that really looks like desktop, more pictures from different areas would be needed to be sure. As you can see, those all were taken from point x=50% y=55%. I would probably taken a few more just to make sure it's not desktop, because in some very rare situations can PB only show desktop.

Just speculation: Usually if a hacker wants to use custom image he either uses clear screenshots or send some stupid message to the admins (you can just imagine what that could be). Now this fella didn't do either, instead the pic seems to be part of a bigger pic, probably desktop. IMO, it's a lil short sighted to ban for this. And he may never be aware of it, just wonder why he's banned from some servers instead of submitting a ticket and clearing things.

I think Dave was either really wasted at the time,or really hyped up on coke.

So why not have a generic BF2 screenshot... like of you standing at the fence by Karkand hotel?

I may have said too much...

:edit: and please call them cheaters... these kids aren't breaking into websites... they are downloading executibles and clicking twice... hardly a hacker.

That's a good question. And there are those who always return the same screen of karkand in every single map. That's intentional for sure, but no proof of cheating.

and please call them cheaters... these kids aren't breaking into websites... they are downloading executables and clicking twice... hardly a hacker.

I understand your point, but if someone intentionally sends a screen he wants he does have some hacking knowledge. If some downloadable public/pay cheat would contain this pic we'd see a lot more those on the MBL.

For those of you who say that PB can takes SS' of your desktop...please show me one...

Re: why would pb ban for something like this?

Yeah, i was wondering how it can SS your desktop...

I think all of those posts were either in jest or confusion about what's happening.

Mine were in jest.


Okay, so this guy might have some programing and hacking skills.

Re: why would pb ban for something like this?

maybe the map they were playing was "the empire strikes back at karkand". :p

Re: why would pb ban for something like this?

I don't see how that is "PROOF" of cheating. I see it as some sort of error, but not proof of cheating. If you walked into my house, and saw a PICTURE of a cocaine, does that mean I snort cocaine? Those punksbusted punks are goin' a little to far here.

Re: why would pb ban for something like this?

Dude, Punkbuster took a pic of him playing Karkand and the screen shows Star wars. Doesn't happen on its own?
