new aimbots on 360 (list of players to avoid)

Kids will be kids.

Simple fix, just swap your weapons once. If General Techniq does indeed have extensive footage of players doing what he claims then they surely knew what they were doing since there is no way to use Parkour extensively while holding a Heavy weapon. Even if they fired the weapon once they would be aware of the mistake, chances are they were enjoying the use of the glitch even if it was accidental. There is a huge difference between accidently using an exploit and continuing to use one.

Lights/Mediums with heavy weapons:

It seems I’ve once again made the mistake of overestimating the median cognitive functioning of this board’s userbase. I apologize for my presumption.

It’s just that I’d thought it apparent that, if I mentioned spotting heavy-weapon-wieding lights/mediums parkouring all over the place, I would not only be speaking of TRUE mediums/lights carrying heavy weapons… but also of players that were consciously aware of their situation and therefore actively cheating.
Anyone that climbs a container or wall-walks while carrying a heavy weapon… aint using a heavy body.
I appreciate that some people could actually see the obvious, though. :slight_smile:

Additionally, it should be noted that the fact that I’ve already seen SD acknowledge this very exploitable GLITCH (as half-assed as the acknowledgement was), also plays a big part in why I have not bothered to upload captured footage of this exploit being abused.
With the devs already aware of it, further exposing the cheating would only serve to increase the numbers of cheaters using it, especially when common sense would likely lead more than a few to reproducing it with no further help than video evidence of it’s existence.

That glitch really pisses me off. I have probably spent over an hour and a half customizing all my characters just for them to be messed up.

[QUOTE=GreasedScotsman;348113]I am not at all surprised by this thread. Its content, its source or its fallout.

PC players, please avoid replies to this thread and let the console folks clean their own house. Just nod sagely. Thanks![/QUOTE]

This made me chuckle. Uh wait, no, it made me nod sagely.

OP as usual half clueless and half fail troll.

FWIW a 360 drive mod only bypasses the backup protection. All code is still signed and it is impossible to modify the code of the game or the system. As such Aimbots ARE NOT POSSIBLE.

Custom Firmware hacks which allow unsigned code to be run are detectable and get a hardware ban almost instantly on live.

In short there is no such things as aimbots or hacks on the 360. Only exploits, good players and whiners.

In my personal experience hacking on console is way more prevelant than you might expect. It’s certainly possible there are no aim bots, but there’s plenty of other hacks out there. I work with children and one of the number one things they talk about of course is video games. Tons of them know how to hack 360/PS3 and I’ve followed up on their getting banned because I had always heard it is quick to occur. I’ve yet to speak to any that have been banned. Mind you I work with the same kids continuously for years sometimes. These kids tell me how they get pistols to shoot rockets at SMG rates of fire, no clip and see people through walls, have infinite ammo, etc. They’ve even told me how they can access other peoples accounts and raise and lower other people’s prestige in CoD or just wipe out their accounts altogether for example. In some cases it’s really sad the joy that they take in destroying other’s accounts. One individual in particular that comes to mind was telling me weeks before Brink’s launch how there was already hacks available.

This is just a piece of anecdotal evidence so it certainly might not be true for the vast majority of cases. But as far as I know while there may be less hacking and cheating on console there’s still plenty of it going on and probably more than people would think. I was always of the mindset that it was occurring pretty rarely until I started working with this population and hearing these tales. Even worse it appears like most of these people really don’t even understand what they are doing and are simply following some directions they found online on a variety of sites (basically a console skiddie if you will). By the same token despite their lack of knowledge they’re still not getting banned as far as I can see and while I didn’t state it before they definitely all play online on Live or PSN.

It serves MS and Sony’s best interest to have everyone believe that if they hack their console it will lead to an instant ban. This is the reason that several people I know have yet to engage in this activity. However, I have yet to find anyone who has been banned for this activity. Certainly there was a huge wave of bans with the release of MW2 and such waves may occur in the future with the release of large titles, but these ban waves appear to be few and far between. Especially considering how many people that were caught in that MW2 ban. I mean those kids didn’t just hack their Xbox for that game or 5 minutes before the ban happened. They had probably been engaged in that activity for quite some time.

I am not commenting on the individuals listed by the OP as I have no experience playing with them ever (to the best of my knowledge). I’m simply commenting on console hacks in general.

(General Techniq) #48

You spend 1.5 straight hours doing nothing but Brink character customizing?

(nick1021) #49

On 10 characters to fit each character uniquely. Yes. Looking at almost every combo and tatoo. And remember 10 characters, 2 per characters. So that’s basically 20.

Oh and straight. All together, 1.5 hours.

(iezza) #50

Yep, because you have to track your targets aim assist ALWAYS makes it worse, unless their right infront of you, and you have the Carb.

This…+1

I have seen NO evidence of 360 hacking, EVER. What I do see, A LOT, is players who are better than me…I get over it.

Time for Mr ‘It’s AL’ to go on ignore (his no-punctuation style annoys me anyway:mad:).

I was just trying to draw a distinction between the belief you can run one program on a console which then enables features in another, such as a aimbot. This is not possible unless someone wants to get their system banned for running a custom firmware. Those bans are very quick to come by as the system stands out like a sore thumb to Live.

Now hacking the console. Yes you can do this and avoid being banned with varying degrees of success BUT such a hacked console would still be unable to run things like aimbots. Hacked consoles (to bypass copyprotection) do tend to get banned in waves. Why would MS tip off the hackers that they could detect their hacks?

Doing the other things you’ve listed, well I wouldn’t say it was impossible but i’d be pretty confident it relies on exploiting the security of the game in the same way people did with Brink when it was first released and got access to the console commands or in CoD by editing saved games (I think). Again, unless the developer included an aimbot in the game then I doubt you’d see one in the game.

In short. Hacking the console does not give you the ability to alter games, only pirate them.

[retraction] not a true statement here, lmattersl

nor photon cheat, lag massive problems though just getting it handed to me.

its a real glitch and i know exactly how to exploit it 100% of the time, teniq if you got xbox u can get screenies

(nick1021) #55

Oh yeah that glitch. Completely forgot about that. But it’s not a hack. Just another one of the developers faults.

(General Techniq) #56

I have an xbox360 (GT= General Techniq), as well as a PS3 (GeneralTechnique, GeneralTactic) and PC (Steam= GeneralTechnique), but I don’t really need screens or new video, seeing as I already know how to trigger the glitch in two different ways (which you too already seem aware of).

Yeah, I try not to talk about things that I know little about. So, when I do comment on something, I usually have much more first-hand knowledge of the situation than what it would appear.

Thanks for the offer, anyways. Wouldn’t mind still playing some games with you, though.

(nick1021) #57

btw tech. Remember me nick the troll from homefront forums lol?

Btw people. The first few days of brinks release, I did not troll the forums, I was for the game. I only troll (if you really want to call it that) game forums that failed and that I bought into. Homefront was one of them.

Yes, I would call it trolling. You have said literally nothing constructive since you arrived here.

I was not fooled by Homefront … I didn’t buy it.
I was not fooled by Brink … it has been a fun game.

(nick1021) #59

W/e. Maybe I could be nicer in posts. And maybe I could of saved 60 bucks.

And btw, just because an opinion is different from yours doesn’t mean it’s trolling.

If I think this game is a hot boiling sizzling bucket o’ fail doesn’t mean I’m trolling.

No, but when you say something like that in every post you write, and are proud of the bad reputation you have subsequently earned, it is.
