The problems rolling in for MW2?

[mikecoulter]

Is that really what gamers have ended up doing now? Cheating? Really?

The shame.

Welcome to modern gaming. How was 1990 for you?

Are you crazy? Older games had far more cheats

Good old konami code...

ALL PC games have hackers. Another reason to avoid them and play console instead.

Punkbuster and VAC don't work at stopping them, I know this because I used to use an aimbot in TF2 for my own evil enjoyment (I don't play it anymore, don't worry, lol).

I'm surprised they got one out this FAST (probably re-used game code or something), but not surprised it exists.

It'd not nearly that bad. There are very few hackers I've come across playing games on Steam - and in most cases, if you report them it usually takes care of that. And if you have a mod to ban them, it's even better.

The last time I've seen aimbot on TF2 was... uhh... 2 years ago? And I play on a whole variety of servers for at least 20 hours every 2 weeks... If not more.

I played on many servers as a regular, was known and even vouched for many times by regulars and admins...all the while, I was using a wall-hack and an aimbot with a very small angle spread, like 3-6% and I was never caught.

This was about 1-2 years ago, but still. If a person wants to hide it their advantage, they can. I did.

How would you know if they are a hacker or just good though? This whole kick them mentality seems a bit off. If they are hacking and you know they are that is one thing but honestly how do you tell the difference between a hack and plain old skills.

By comparing it to the hundreds of other fair games youve played, and been killed on, and clearly knowing the difference.

Must have been a server full of morons then. I don't know how you could play on servers with wall hack with nobody noticing. The others I can understand however.

I've see about two people blatantly hack in two years on TF2.

Oh you mean the ones where if I get a kill I am accused of hacking.

Wall hack without being noticed? Thats easy.
-Don't watch people behind walls
-Killing people hiding in corners is "Checking your corners" and easily explained as such
-Do things you'd normally do if you didn't know players were around a corner.
-Play Demoman, its not wall-hacking if its nade-spam that just happens to be timed well

Its really easy

WIN WIN WIN WIN WIN
this is one of the many reasons why dedicated servers are good

Really VAC is delayed? I remember the day I uh "accidently" tried some hacks with CS 1.6, I got banned pretty quickly.

In any invention or game, there are always people who will try to destroy or benefit themselves over others. Am I right?

Thats how my friend's teacher put it. Just as long as it is up, people will try to destroy or benefit themselves.

Adapted from the diary of Ryan Andrew:

"It has been brought to my attention that some citizens have discovered ways to... hack the vending machines game. I should not need to remind each and every citizen of Rapture IWNET that free enterprise compliance is the foundation upon which our society IWNET the has been established. Parasites will be punished processed in a bureaucratic manner."
