I don't think this will be as effective in Planetside. Dave said that they had some pretty ingenius code that made it so that you wouldn't be sent information about people that are behing hills or in buildings so as to be able to maintain high framerates even if there are 500 people in the area.

So if there is someone behind a hill and you modify your rendering to see behind the hill, you still won't see them.

1) This is pay to play. The only way to cheat more than once, is have multiple PayPal accounts, and maybe even then the credit cards might need to be in someone else's name.

2) Multiple NIC.

3) One time someone hacked the JumpGate server and gave themself an uber ship, not God Mode. Word got out fast about this person in an uber ship, and everyone was hunting him down while others reported him. Was great to hear about enemies working together to kill a hacker.

Oh man you wanna see cnc renegade its like a mafia run game.So many cheaters and fixers.I hope ps isent going to be like that after all we are paying for those types of things.

Games like CS the devs just make the game and throw it to the hounds. They dont have much to lose if cheaters run rampant. On a pay-to-play game, however, the devs DO have something to lose if people cheat.

My guess is that only people VERY dedicated to cheating will create successful cheats, and they will be few and far between, plus hounded by the devs 24/7.

Of course, if people spend that much time to create good cheats they are just waisting their own time.

Edit : Its going to be sad when people think World of Warcraft will be just like any other Blizzard game. Good example.

I agree with most everyone else, due to the pay to play aspect, devs will actually care about how people feel in game, and will need to ban cheaters and hackers.

say someone does find a way around the ps security system. the people should end up being blacksheeped by everyone else that knows they're cheating. that alone will keep cheating down, i would think.

Damn, I started this thread as a joke (which any who clicked on the link would know), but it's actually turned into a very nice discussion

I was just gonna say that.....uhhhh guys it was a joke click on the link

In anycase, anyone thinking about how hard it will be to notice a cheater? Theres no headshots, theres gonna be tons of people shooting at you, how will we pick out cheaters?

Zetre · 2003-02-24, 09:49 PM

also, there are some cheats that ARE SOOO FRICKIN discreat it's really hard to see them. Although, i think since everything goes through a server it'll be a lot harder. However, i've watched a guy with a really nice cheat, and you couldn't even tell by watching his monitor that he was cheating.

Games don't need to be pay-to-play to cut out the cheating. Tribes 2 is almost entirely cheat-free. The patches that n00bs complained about having to download was actually aimed at eliminating alot of bugs that cheaters were exploiting. Plus, the community in Tribes doesn't put up with cheating. I don't know any other communities, so I'm not saying they *do* put up with cheating. Just sharing what I know.

What's really amusing is that someone is paying for that domain name. Now that's an idiot.

There is another version of that that has 10 windows pop up with the same thing when you close the first one. Nasty stuff.

Actually, I don't think he's an idiot (though it's more than likely that it's hosted by an organization, probably a clan). Heck I would probably pay for the domain name to host something like that. It's funny and it make's fun of cheaters. Domain names are cheap, and many people have server space/bandwidth to spare.

i don't think cheating will be a problem for PS or WoW. But I wish blizzaed would get ahold of the map hack problem in WC3. People don't even hide it. I submit numerous reports and never get any feedback (BTW they are hacking b/c I watch the replays and that way i know wether they scouted or not before i even send it). If they do ban someone is only for 30 days. I think it should be a perma-ban.
