Hacking & Exploiting on the rise again?

[Forces(UK)]

I've noticed a slight increase in the use of the remote deny-of-command hack recently.

I mean a cheater (even if he gets his stats deleted) will most likely try to do the same again. How about a montly ban for repeating offenders?

While a padder/exploiter will get a statwipe, I certainly hope that someone caught with an aimbot or other hacks will get a permanent GUID ban.

For the record, I've killed people outside of my visual range many times. (Not too extremely out of my range mind you, and I've never done it with a headshot).

I could do it because of the NetBat diamonds, I just pointed at them, shot and got kills. Got to love squadmates.

They have something that does that? Wow.

I was wondering why I my team could not have a commander the other day when we were playing.

[RichardDawkins]

i notice people getting kicked from commander position, but other than that i'm not too sure i've ever seen outright hacking

couple of players seem to get a ludicrous amount of kills in conquest, but i'd imagine they are just better than me. the netbat system can work wonders, as can the old 'remove the fog by looking through the corner of your eye' trick. i know i have headshotted people with the park from beyond the viewing distance by lining people up with known markers. they have to be stationary of course, but it still would appear dodgy for them.

regarding getting killed and not knowing where it came from... isn't that half of the game?

I've had a guy kill me 3-4 times in a row from more than halfway across the map with the Ganz... I really can't see any way it was possible other than an aimbot or something... He even shot me while I was cloaked with advanced active camo from so far away I couldn't see him at all... But I saw the tracers... coming from more than 400 meters away.

[RichardDawkins]

i dont see how you could get killed by a ganz from that distance... it would overheat and miss before it killed you surely?

this was exaxtly what happened to me last night...even with camo on and behind a wall in the tower he was blasting away from miles off!

nah, no rise in cheating here :shock:

Hey man, dont forget to add Anthony1977 to your list of banned azzhatz. :laugh:

Why do they hack OP? Read their forums [what is public] and you will see for yourself. They enjoy "owning" everyone because they can and they know it pisses you off. Believe it.

Yeah, apperantly they can do that. I "saw" it first time like month ago.

I was playing in Fall of Berlin, and EU was raping the s*** out from my team. I noticed that we have no commander. So i decided to volunteer for this mission. So when i was seleted to be as commander. I hitted the enemy with arty and dropped supplies for our APC/walker. Then i get message "you are no longer commander", i tought wtf happend. Tried to command again, applied and nothing happend. Tried again, and nothing. At that point i tought f*** this s*** and disconnected.

I've used the Ganz for distance kills like that many times. I can't say with complete confidence it was 400 meters, but definitely more than a few times my target was barely visible, and positively puny in the gunsight, but I dropped them anyway. I've also gotten kills on targets I truly can't see, but was shooting at the diamond in the Netbat, hoping for a lucky hit.

One other time, I saw a guy on Berlin way off in the distance, but my gun was empty... he would be out of sight by the time I reloaded, so I switched tothe pistol, aimed for his head...and the disappeared into the fog, but I took my shot immediately after anyway... blam. Kill. (I figure he must have already been pretty badly hurt for a single pistol shot to drop him at that distance).

So this stuff happens. I don't like it when I'm on the receiving end any more than you do, and I'm sure there are some less than above-board incidents out there, but... it happens legitimately pretty often as well.

[JoeG]

I dont think you gys that say "it just happens sometimes" really get the scale of how BS this is. One time in a hundred ... sure... but not repeatedly... and sure as hell not cloaked from that far away.

Create a local server and go stand 400 meters from something, and tell me you could hit it reliably once... much less 3-4 times in a row.... especially cloaked

Just to illustrate...
Silo 3 on Bridge at remagen...


Zoomed all the way in with the advanced scope...


And the minimap... showing just exactly how total Bull-sh!t this is...


Any more questions?

[StoneCold313]

Well, my longest kill has been 317m in the Bridge at remagen. I could basically see the silouette(spelling?) from the enemy.

I dunno, maybe that 400m could be done, to stationary target, and from bit elevated position. But that would definetly be 2 shot kill and you would have to spend lot of ammo to do it.

But to do it 3-4 times in a row, smells really suspect to me.

I think we may have all been on that server... I got killed by a Ganz from out of sight (saw tracers coming from fog) but no camo... took him a while due to weapon inaccuracy but he was following me as I ran, always aimed at my head (or so it seemed).

but mostly just been seeing a lot more admins kicking people for hacking, and these are admins I know pretty well so they weren't just pissed at getting killed.
