Hackers are back

[Emperor Newt]

Until now I have only seen speedhacking (movement as well as firing speed). Even have this on video.
In terms of invul I only encountered an unmanned Vanguard which we were unable to damage and one infantry player which did not move and despawned after a while, so at least this one was most likely a bug.

I've seen people fly around in my own outfit due to some sort of network lag/server issue. One of them was flying a prowler about 30' above the ground and spinning around.

I've seen a lot of the desync guys, however there is a new one I've noticed. People have been teleporting, as opposed to speedhacking. Unfortunately for the individual I found doing it at Peris he teleported to high and fell to his death. I've seen two different NC doing is lately, both low rank. I guess they don't have active admins over weekends?
I've also seen more guys "blinking" in and out, I don't know if they're doing it on purpose but a TR max ran around and killed like 40-50 people doing it because no one could hit him. He had to know something was up considering the length of time he was doing it and how long he lived solo against so many enemies.

[JPUK]

The problem with blinking is plausible deniability. As with all induced packet-loss cheats the only way to fix it is lock out everyone with a high ping or bad connection. If SOE felt this was a good idea I think they'd have done it already.

I say it again the best way to deal with things like this is to eliminate the hackers in the real world. Governments need to make this a crime that has minimum 2 years jail time.

I assume you're joking? Last thing this world needs is more government control ;P

This wasn't a glitch that you describe. Ive also seen this.

This was a speed hacker that could fly around like superman. No glitching, no bug, but an ultra blatant hacker. I, along with a few others, watched him for twenty minutes as he killed vehicles.

I seen a guy flying and ran to the top of the bio lab dome from the ground on Helios on the TR side. That's not a bug thats just hacking, especially when all sides are calling the player out about it.

Theres a hacker VS side on Connery who keeps popping up and we keep reporting that person. They keep showing up with different name variations and its pretty obvious they're hacking. They have absolutely perfect tracking and aiming. Shooting at them causing them to instantly snap and gun down anyone in less than a fraction of a second.

It's really depressing to see these people constantly roll new alts and play. It's also impossible to get the drop on this person. We tried to rush a building which we knew they were in, but they just popped at the window and gunned us all down as we ran from one building to the next in a less than two seconds.

[Beerbeer]

The guy I saw last night acting like a literal superman was also VS on Connery.

Prior to that, NC on waterson.

[RaTzo]

I've only seen two potential cheaters. One was beyond obvious, first was he was using an aimbot and defending a biolab all by himself... then he started using a speedhack which made him look like a speeding bullet. He wasn't getting many kills that way but he was impossible to stop.

The great thing about PS2 is that even if 10% of the people are cheating, there's a TONE of places to go where they aren't. In BF3 if only 10% of the people are cheating the game is ruined... heh for that matter if 1 person on a server is cheating it ruins the game.

I don't even remember what the second person was doing... it just wasn't that memorable and being able to simply leave them 5KM behind you is wonderful!

Just editing to see if my signature will get added.

You sure claim to see constant hackers that no one else has seen. I don't understand why you have not used the simple in game video record to back up all these accusations.

Everything I've experienced that could be a hack could also be a bug/ glitch.

[yadda]

My server must suck, Iv seen a grand total of maybe 3 hackers. 2 of which I tk'd so much I weapon locked myself.

One of them was spamming "Enemy Sunderer Spotted" 24/7 when there was very clearly nothing around. That was really annoying.

Why so quick to discount someones experiences? I see blatant hackers every 3rd or 4th battle on Briggs. Though, Briggs is much more hacker infested than the US servers I play on, i've only seen 2 or 3 hackers on Mattherson/Connery.

FYI by "blatant hackers" I don't mean laggers, and I don't mean bugs. I mean people who teleport into the spawn room and kill your entire team, people speedhacking with 100 round mag weapons and killing 10 people in 5 seconds, etc etc. The type of hacker that immediately results in 20 people all /yelling "anyone see that hacker?"

Hell there's an entire outfit of hackers on TR Briggs who have been banned multiple times and they keep coming back.

I'm not talking about purely suspicious behaviour like 3x headshots with a gauss saw the second you come into line of sight from 200m away, if I added in the people like that who only aimbot rather than using "ragemode" it would be much more than one every 3 or 4 fights.

Until playing this game I always used to laugh at people who threw out hackusations like they were nothing, but now I feel like maybe they were right. Maybe hacking really is this rampant? Or maybe it's just because the game is f2p and has lots of people for them to kill.

There is a reason why people cater to this and make a business out of it and it is because there is a high demand and the money is definitely there.
