How do I find out if a player I suspect of cheating is?

[sgt.collins]

Hello, my question is pretty much in the title. I was playing o the =EU= jalabad server today, and this guy called haxxxxzoooor was on, he was first place. Anyways, he made some crazy shots, turned around crazy fast, and was shooting through walls. Am I just being paranoid, or what...
how can i find a screenshot of him playing?

You'll probably have to use BattleRecorder and FRAPS at the same time to get proof.

If you didn't know, battlerecorder lets you play back battles in freecam, so then use FRAPS to record at the same time.

Then donate the footage
to as many server admins as possible.

With PB there is a way to take screenshots, and it works, seen people get busted with it many a time. But I'm pretty sure it's an admin only thing. Look around...

okey dokey... i've actually dedicated today to finding suspected cheaters. my latest one is ]UH[Joskitt
he was shooting grenades across the map hahaha
is battlerecorder on every server?


i was watching one of my karkand rounds on that, and i decided i suck really badly. When i jumped in the water to get across the bridge, the ladder after, i jumped RIGHT over this prone guy and neither of us saw each other. I don't like watching myself play, i make too many mistakes

If you want to play battlerecorder servers, go to the filters in your server connection settings and make sure BattleRecorder is checked.

Yes, PB has a system to take screenshots of players (what they see) it's called a punkbuster screen shot or a PBSS, and only server admins can do that through BF2CC. Some servers have it set to automatically PBSS all players in the server at certain time intervals.

See if you can join the same team that the suspect is on and then suicide or get killed somehow. Don't respawn yet, make sure none of the spawn points are selected and click the x in the upper right corner and then press c to switch to other players until you find that person. You can watch other players this way in third person view.

With a name like "Haxxxzooorr" i think your instincts were probably correct.

:laugh:
I wouldn't worry about it. I've watched quite a few of my games back and I'm amazed by how many enemies in close proximity that I don't see and they don't see me. You can now appreciate the advantage a hacker would have if they had some sort of "show enemies" cheat on the mini map turned on.

Cheers. Didn't know that. As long as I've been playing BattleRecorder servers though, I've NEVER seen a hacker. Must be due to the fact you have recorded evidence at the click of a button.

As soon as I step out of a BR server though, It's a different story. Especially Karkand or Sharqi. :hmm:

Cheaters cannot shoot through walls. Hit detection and player location is handled server side, so that's technically impossible. Anti-lag may have something to do with what people percieve as "being shot through walls."

my battlerecorder never works

This shows how much you know about BF2. Cheater can shoot thru walls ,they find an exploit. Such as Strike at Karkand, Wake Island. Turn in your Total Gaming Moderator status .

No they cannot shoot through solid walls. Any data that is handled server side cannot be used. Memory editors and code injectors can only affect data that it run client side, so it' possible to track and see someone running through walls, but not shoot them

However, you may see videos on the Internet with cheats that show shooting through walls, but that is just singleplayer server mods.

[{USI}_DirTyDeeDs]

THEY CAN SHOOT THRU WALLS, your statements are incorrect.

when they are glitching inside a building shooting out, they are clearly shooting thru walls.

I have been shot like that near Insurgent Hideout and Palace on Warlord
