Something to look forward to

(Angel1) #1

Well ive heard about some games that are plagued with people using hacks of all kinds and recently talking about it with a friend he pointed me to a site (which im sure is well known).
I just couldnt belive that even with a game like ET:QW not even launched prepurations are being made to get hacks ready :frowning: and altho im not goin to put a link up to the site i will list what they will be attempting to bring to the game.

###IN DEVELOPMENT###

Features will be:
100% Punkbuster proof. You will never get caught
Minimap w/ enemy radar (shows you where the enemy is on radar)
Nametags - Shows you where the enemy is by making a bright red nametag
Health ESP - Shows you how much heatlh enemy has
Aimbot - Auto aim or Auto shoot to the enemys head or stomach. Vector or hitbox
View Distance - Lets you see really far away
5 crosshairs
entity wallhack
Chameleon Skins - Lights up the enemy in bright colors
Nosky - Removes the sky for better FPS
xqz2 wallhack
Nofog/smoke/flash - Removed so you can see better
Save / Load Function - Lets you keep your favorite settings one click away
Asus wallhack
Anti PB Screenshot - Keeps you from getting caught by delivering a clean screenshot

I think it will be a damn shame if this gets of the ground in a game so many people are looking forward to but i guess this is the way of gaming online these daysā€¦bastards

Yea, hopefully they wonā€™t spread that far and can easily be kicked/banned. I really wonder how some people enjoy ruining the fun for othersā€¦ luckily my reproductive organs are big enough. :moo:

All of these hacks were in Battlefield 2, and I can tell you that the game did NOT catch these people cheatingā€¦ it took players like myself seeing strange behavior to catch these things. 90% of the time nothing happened to the cheaters however due to BF2ā€™s crappy voting, and no admins on the servers.

I remember a guy on planet battlefield posting a screenshot about stat-padders (score listing), and you could see bright red and blue players through walls on his screenshotā€¦ idiot forgot to turn of his hacks and you could plainly see it was a ranked server.

I hate cheaters, and hope that something can be done to combat these hacks, since currently it seems they can do what they want without getting caught.

The one that seems really bad if they can get away with it is the 100% punk buster proof hack if they get away with that it will make punkbuster totally usless in the future.

I know that bf2 and CS are both plagued with this problems and judging by what is on the website more games are goin to be involved in the future, it a bloody shame because it put a lot of people off from playing these games anymore.

Isnā€™t this possible with ET normally anyway with r_fastsky 1?

(ouroboro) #7

Of course ET:QW will be hacked, the question is how soon? A matter of days, I suspect. The best anticheat solution is still a vigilant admin presence, along with shared community-driven banlists.

Just remember: ET:QW is going to have bannable accounts, and isnā€™t going to be cheap.

tell the site nd see if ne1 can find out the posters ips sorted

If those haxs are going to be 100% pb proof then how will they get banned, iā€™m sure that a server admin can only ban them from their server, and not their game

(ToonarmY) #10

the cheats will arrive in a matter of days afterb the demo i would bet

(bobjones) #11

bannable accounts? what kind of proof would it take?

sounds like a great idea to me. eliminating cheaters from the game entirely would put a big deturrent on potential cheaters.

(Bravo) #12

As someone said, vigilant server moderation is the key. Cheaters can always be spotted in the end (depending on the cheat, some may take longer to spot than others, but will still be spotted eventually).

Being able to ban their version of the game is a good answer, even if it is only from one server. The choices of server will rapidly diminish in this case.

All that remains is how effective the individual IDā€™s of the game copy is controlled, because you can bet your last shiny penny that the cheats will also have a fraudulant copy of the game also. Will they be able to simply redownload the game?

(DG) #13

he means ETQW will have proper CDkeys, so when a server admin bans a player they stay banned on that server unless they go buy a new game. With ET you just have to delete a file to bypass a ban.

The only ā€œglobalā€ banning is if Evenbalance catch you hacking punkbuster itself they deny you the ability to use PB, thus you cant join most servers because they use PB. Thereā€™s also the admin ban-share systems at pbbans.com and punksbusted.com although theyā€™re both optional and unofficial.

AFAIK the cdkey system on id games is generally pretty solid, I dont think you get many players with pirated copies playing alongside purchasers, they mostly have to stick to cracked servers. I guess thereā€™s people copying cdkeys in stores or whatever and getting away with it though, they should be kept in something sealed IMO.

100% Punkbuster proof. You will never get caught

This is almost certainly bullshit. It isnā€™t that hard to make cheats undetected for a period of time, but unless they are doing something with external hardware, it is very unlikely that they will be truly undetectable. Once copies get leaked to PB, they will be detected until they update.

Also, they may claim to be developing it ā€œfor ET:QWā€ but in reality, they canā€™t do anything specific to ET:QW until the game is leaked or released.

It should not come as a huge surprise that cheaters are also liars. Especially cheaters who want to sell their cheats for money.

I have some swampland in Guam that has T1 with ETQW ready to go. Need 1,000,000,000 for entry.

(Rhoades) #16

what is wrong with nosky?

(thewonderfulcar) #17

I played Wolf ET for the first time in ages tonight. Within a few minutes, we had 2 cheaters on the server. Itā€™s a complete joke now.

I desperately hope that Quake Wars will be a bit more hack proof. If the same thing happens as with Wolf, Iā€™ll probably cry.

(RosOne) #18

How do you know they were cheating?

Happened a couple days agoā€¦ been alone on a pub, map battery, allies, eng. Someone joined, went axis. Map started, I ran to the wall, threw a grenade in front of the axis bunker and killed that guy.

He: ā€œwallhack?ā€

I ignored himā€¦

I build the ramp, went to the gun, planted, he came to defuse and I killed himā€¦

He: ā€œLOL, aimbot too?ā€
He disconnected.

Iā€™m sure he went to <put forums here> and posted a thread about how many cheaters there are in ET. I seriously donā€™t see all those cheaters people are talking about. Sure, there is one occasionally, but cā€™mon, itā€™s not that bad. People make it seems like there are more cheaters than non-cheaters.

(thewonderfulcar) #19

it couldnā€™t have been any more blatant. impersonating other players, running around with the scoped garand constantly headshotting, knowing exactly where you were at all times, you name it.

and yes, it IS that bad. hackers have ruined ET.
