Obvious hacking.

World of Warcraft

There have been some gold spammers wall-hacking/speed-hacking/gravity-hacking in the main citys as a method of advertisement.
Guess that what Blizz gets for not keeping Warden up to date.

On this note, one time a long time ago, somehow or another one of those gold spammers managed to drop a bunch of female gnome corpses out of the ceiling in Ironforge right there in front of everyone, and it spelled out their website when you looked at it from above.

There was someone in de_aztec on Counter-Strike: Source who was flying around no-clip with an AK-47 killing everyone with a headshot. Oh yeah, and when you looked at him, he was upside down. No joke.

In Borderlands in my first session in the multiplayer I ended up having to reboot my account because these two little (Either 9 or 10) hackers were spawning overpowered shields that couldn't be unequipped and looked like money. So naturally I picked it up and all the challenge was gone, had a level eleven hunter gone to shit.

Mind you at least they offered help to get rid of the shield after I messaged them, I even managed to get the mario related achievement using it.

I also remember playing a game of tf2 on Dustbowl (This was the 360 version on the orange box) and every time someone got near the control point the defending team would spawn an instant kill lightning storm. Funnily enough I came across many hackers and modders on the xbox version, I haven't come across a single one since I got the game for pc.

Basically the same thing this time, except its not corpses and the ad teleports around town (Floating mid air)

I thought a bunch TF2 players were hacking, until I realized there are these "premium account servers".

Basicly some servers give you the option to "donate" a few dollars, and you'll get all sorts of cool stuff. And by "cool stuff" I mean, engineers get infinite metal, sentries have double health, and to top it all off, you can build 5 sentries.

That's totally fair, and not "win by wallet" at all.

I don't think I've ever seen explicit hacking, but my brother told me about this one time in some shooter he was playing when each team had a hacker, and when everyone else had died they both started flying, and had some kind of epic knife fight. It sounded hilarious.

 

[Clobbertron]

I was playing TF 2 on the 360 with a friend when the other team was flying around and then they built sentries in our team's spawn point so we couldn't do anything.

 

[Explosm]

I remember seeing one of those guys in Counter Strike: Source running around with his aim flying all over the place, as if the mouse sensitivity was ridiculously high and he was just dragging the mouse around aimlessly. Any person who came within sight died from an instant headshot. Hacks don't get much more obvious than that.

Yeah like super high sensitivty and spinnin in circles.. I seen that too. and one where he was walking upside down

 

[demoman_chaos]

I had someone in R:TW have 20 max upgraded elite units somehow while staying under 10k denari (you can maybe get 3 max upgraded normal units for 10k).

 

[Doomdiver]

Both on Battlefield 2142. 2 guys who I hit with a full clip of my MG each, a full clip of my handgun and a couple of grenades and they still didn't go down.
Also on 2142 a guy who's points were going up stupidly fast without him doing anything. I was the commander in that match as well and as he was on my team my points kept going up too. Luckily people saw what was going on and I didn't get the blame for it.

Oh boy, those servers. If it's the one I'm thinking of, they also run unmarked bots to inflate their player count.

It was incredibly satisfying to land a backstab on this one "premium" demo they had spawncamping my team right at the beginning of the round. Idiot never once thought to look behind him.

Yep, bots galore..

Another great example was having literally 15 lvl 3 sentries in your face when your spawnpoint moves back in a payload map. How did those engineers get behind our backs? Well they flew of course.

Before I had decent FPS games, I played Combat Arms. I remember having alot of fun making new accounts just to spam the AWP, and raping face. I decided to reboot that horrible game. Every time someone would spawn, one player would immediately kill everyone in the game with a one hit kill knife. So everyone accept him would die instantly.
It was pretty rewarding though, because I busted out an old mic and micspammed until he stopped talking, and left. There should really be a maturity test for playing games online. I mean, atleast a vocal register test. No one wants to play with pre-pubescent children.

That game has been ass rammed by hackers so much that it's impossible to be good without some one screaming hacks.

Case and point, I was going 1v4 against some clan (no one joined my team) and I kept getting head shots because it's stupidly easy to do so. "Keep getting headshots and you're gone." "I get headshots from aiming high." "Well stop running hacks." "The only other thing I run is FRAPs." "What's that do." "Shows my frame rate and I can take screenies." "Well turn it off it's making me lag." (it uses half a meg of memory) so on and so forth I get kicked because they sucked so clearly I was a hacker.

Right uhh where was I? Blatant hacking? Sure we'll go with that. What? Oh that's what the thread is about, that makes more sense.

In some Delta Force game this jackass was using speed hacks and auto fired a grenade launcher with infinite ammo, what a jerk.

That's been going for quite a few years now. Since they get Report Spam'd faster than their bots can automate their messages, they decide to litter the grounds with unremovable corpses spelling out links before logging out.

Being stuck inside a bus before I even had control of my survivor.

 

[Emissary Laito]

Well, some of the stuff attempted on Metroid Hunters was pretty unbelievable.

Combat Hall, I swear, I've faced way too many people with the Omega Cannon.
You cant even get the Omega Cannon on that level.
It's hardly inconspicuous.

I've also faced people who randomly got Death-halt whenever they changed forms, people who have survived a scoped headshot with the imperialist, people who openly make their character levitate...
It's a shame really.I loved that game, but thanks to all the blatantly obvious hackers, the multi-player is off-limits to me.

 

[ottenni]

A guy who never reloaded as the sniper on tf2. To be fair it was clever, no one would suspect the sniper of that particular hack. But limitless ammo for the SMG is dangerous.

 

[Guitarmasterx7]

Aim-bot is pretty obvious, since everyone who uses it moves in a fashion akin to Michael J. Fox having a seizure.

 

[Crystal Cuckoo]

When playing WM2, someone zipped right around and shot me in the head in one go.

In all fairness, he could have been extremely lucky, but I'd only taken one shot at him, I was behind him, and he pinpointed me with such accuracy there was no sway to compensate for his quick movement (i.e. he didn't initially point left or right of me then corrected it).

Needless to say, I was very suspicious... And cynical, given IW promised us "hack-proof" servers.

The corpse ads have been their for ages, these are live character ads that float and teleport around the town.
