Its Official - BF2 Is The New CS
Well, I knew this day would come. Thanks to EA abandoning their game and userbase once again, and PB just being a load of crap on honest machines, BF2 has turned into Counterstrike where just about every I/O server has a cheater/hacker in it. I've been playing I/O servers for a few days now, I have seen at least 5 different aimbotters. One night, I saw three in one server. They were making it rain ammo crates and advertising where they got their hacks.
I actually got to chat to one of the cheaters which it appeared as though he was a aimbot developer. He was telling me what the cheat was capable of and by all means, he proved it. He knew which squad I was in even though he was on the other team.
On the 64 player version of Kharkand, I was USMC and decided to see what this aimbot could do. I went on top of the hill on the left side of the map as if I was going to capture suburb. I told the aimbotter to kill me and as he was moving around near the market/train accident, I noticed a few bullets flying past me but his aimbot did eventually kill me from across the map. Pretty impressive.
Punkbuster apparently has no effect on this guy or his buddies. They either have multiple BF2 accounts or they can change their name on the fly or they have some sort of account masking technique. The same guy kept coming back into the server with different names, thats why I say this.
This sucks. How do I know if someone is skilled or if they are using an apparent undetectable hack. While I play in BF2 servers, I have to play as if everyone is a cheater because skill apparently doesn't exist anymore. You either cheat, or you suck, no such thing as skill.
While punkbuster keeps me from joining a server the first time I try to join one, Punkbuster allows people to cheat and use aimbots in servers. Just like any other anti piracy, anti-cheat, DRM technology, The honest folks are punished while this crap doesn't stop the people who want to cheat.
