Re: hackers

Believe it or not, there are not many hackers out there, and many are not willing to share it publicly, due to the fact that it will get banned by PB soon.

Its more of the suspicion if you get owned. Sometimes they're using Macro's, a good connection, a Good rig or they're just a good player. Most of the time you "zOmg I can't kill j00 n00b zOMG admin Hax0rz, can l33t zOMg!!!1111lol" it's because of Lag.

I haven't witnessed many hacks, only time where a spent 5 second shooting as this guy who wasn't bunny hopping but yet merely walking straight with the G3 only for them to turn around and shoot me. Again lag issue, it looked like I was shooting him, but I wasn't. So far there isn't a God mode hack out their as I'm aware of.

Re: hackers

How many people have ran into hackers lately?

One hack I found was 1 kill = 10 kills

Another was 1 TK = 1 Kill

Any others to add to the list? Anyone seen these?

I say come with some proof.... At least a screenshot.

If you kill someone with the nametag bug then it says in the text he was TKed when in fact it counts as a kill. Easily explainable.

WALL HACK = UAV


(Yes, it's hard to belive but the other team has UAV, and they use it sometime too! That means they can know where you are without having seen you. That means they could know you where on the other side of the wall and could just shoot through it and kill you. Yes they can do it and you can do. It's called UAV.)

Very good point!
It's basically impossible to know if the guy who just killed you was using any form of hack, or simply a spot/UAV. I make so many "dodgy" moves (and have been accused of hacking quite a few times) when I'm in a UAV-area, as I use 90% of my concentration/vision on the mini-map.

Re: hackers

Don't forget the clipping issues! When you are too close to a thin wall (like a fence) you're likely to have your arms or legs sticking through it. I just love it when people do that and I'm packin my PKM.

"WTF?? He shot me through a wall and I couldn't even see him!! HACK!!"

Wow I thought they fixed those glitches from the early games!

Re: hackers

It's not a glitch... it's an artifact of optimization. It's simply impractical to check every part of the player model against every surface. It would cause some rather CPU intensive overhead.

So, as a tip, don't wiggle right up to fences when you get down ta hide. Give it a little space or some smiling bastage (like me) is gonna get a free kill off ya.

Re: hackers

Can't they just make the fence not show anything that is too close to it?

Re: hackers

Suspicion is damn right. I can honestly say I don't think I've ever encountered a hack on bf2. Coming from CS, gotta say it's VERY good for the lack of hack.

Not in any reliable/practical way. This isn't just a problem with BF2. Almost every game has it in one form or another. Even in HalfLife2, I've seen enemies sticking though strange places.
In Tribes2 there was an exploite problem where you could shove you mortar cannon (really big fuggin gun) through certain walls and drop a shot right inside a proteched base. [It was later fixed by moving the shot's origin back behind the gun... unfortunatly, it looked a little funny.]

The thing is, you normally don't notice because the walls are thick. BF2 has to do realisticly thin walls, they they're kinda boned.

Re: hackers

I've only seen one that was without a doubt a hack. Was on Karkand the other night and this guy killed my with the AK-101 but it just kept firing on and on and on way of the 30 round magazine capacity. I figured it was just a soundloop bug, until he mowed down 2 squads without stopping. Worst part is he had to be the server admin, since ammo/health is dictated serverside.

I'm just glad that, that's really the only one I can say for sure that I've seen.

Re: hackers

sometimes they are not wall hacks though. I was accused of this just a few days ago. I knew the guy was on top of a roof, but I couldn't actually see him, so seeing how I was in an APC, and apc's have exploding rounds that produce something called splash damage, I aimed for an object on the roof and started firing. After a few hits I got the guy, and was promptly accused of wall hacking :p

as far as other hacks, I maybe have seen...one or two in my time playing bf2...and those were more of maybe they just were lucky or something...though then again, I did see a guy using a g36E the other day that was somehow firing full auto??? Seriously, he killed a bunch of guys and before I could shoot him I noticed the g36e he was using was firing full auto. I knew it was a g36E because a few seconds later it said "joebob (G36E) raceacontari" . I'm not saying it was a hack though, it might have been just the burst but because of the game lag or something looked like full auto

no it wasnt lag, if you just tap it fast... but slightly slow (like towards the end of the burst) you can make it full auto.. its not technically full auto, but it is just as fast and smooth... but your clip is gone within about 2 seconds.

Re: hackers

Just to comment ont he first post. These hacks are quiet simply, IMPOSSIBLE. Sure I;m no expert but I know enough to know that hackers can't hack 'server side values' (thats why you never get god modes ect). Whether you killed someone or not is registered byt the SERVER and the SERVER counts how many people you have killed and you can't spoof it. It's just not possible.

Thats now cheating thats stat padding. Another player constantly revived the guy getting killed.

I have not played against any hackers/cheaters and in my more then 200 hours never even seen someone get accused of cheating I think. I pay attention to chat too.
There are far less hacks or cheats in Bf2 then you think....
Sure there are some like the commander hack, but thats the only one I've seen proof of.

I've often thought "bullsh*t hacker" in my head but im quick to realize its just my reaction for getting owned.
