Cheaters and Ways to Stop Them

donotreply@activision.com — Sat, 02 Jun 2012 06:54:36 GMT

Hey everyone. I have been playing FPS shooters since 1997. I have been ranked top 10 in several games. One was a FPS game, Americas Army. I did this without cheating and/or modifying my settings to benefit myself in the game (aimpoint speed discluded). I hate to share this info but the last time I shared info there was a huge immediate change in the game, maybe it will again. If you see someone that looks shady, or is possibly using aimbot or hacking, then follow these steps; Mute them, wait a round to see if they still seem shady. If they still seem shady, report them. If they still look like they are full of it then, "Hit your PS button, go to players met, find the name, block them" I tend to report them after blocking them because it seems to cut the ties to you and it works sometimes. It sounds crazy but it works for me consistantly. I can't wait to hear the hackers or "cheaters" repond to this.

Re: MW3 is getting as bad as MW2 for cheaters, hackers, lag-glichers, and I WILL NOT SPEND ANY MORE OF MY MONEY ON ACTIVISION GAME!!!!!!!

Yep. The lag compensation only masks the fact that they can't control it.

Why else would the American Army put out a game?

Re: Why Quickscoping ruined call of duty

"Quickscoping" is typically aimbotters. Most aimbotters try to cover it up by saying its "trickshotting". I've been a pro gamer for a long time. The spinny spinny perfect shot is basic aimbot, even the lowest end one I've ever seen.

no possibility factor at all. It's the worst.

Re: Kill/Death: Ratio

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 05:37:57 GMT

K/D or F/R mean nothing in this game, or any game. A good Frag Rate typically means you camp a lot, but you are a good shot. The best however don't camp and still have a good shot. Prestige doesn't matter either. There are and have been bugs in the game to get Prestige quicker. And when ranked high you can have a horrible FR. Weighing out everything is what matters. Good K/D + time invensted+plays legit and smart is the key.

I can't imagine doing good in the game while "high". It slows you down. Yet that might be why it works.

Re: Lag Compensation Is NOT the Problem!

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 07:04:34 GMT

I believe the real problem is Lag Compensation+Auto-Aim. When Auto-Aim is trying to shoot what your system see's, Lag compensation is making that person wherever he/she is fit for that server.

Did you see a cheater tonight? Post their name here.

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 06:47:22 GMT

Did you see a cheater tonight? Post their name here. Tonight, like every night I saw a handful of hackers. Aimbotters, boosters, exploiters and other (lag compensation exploiters and such). Don't bash them, just put their name in and say what they did. MYSELF tonight I played against a "duo" team who were boosting. One was an aimbot and the other didn't seem to be running it. I was #1 for around 9 rounds. These two showed up and they started boosting to get moab. They won 2 rounds and I told them "reported". They froze and sucked the 3 rounds after that. Which was consistant with their profiles. I was glad informing they were reported worked and they turned it off. Later I had ANOTHER duo show up. They didn't have matching clan names but again, a booster duo. The win replay showed them two boosting over a flare, getting MOAB. After telling them they were reported they said, "So what". I wondered why they so busted and didn't care. After that round they had a locked focus on me, both of them. Every kill cam I watched their gun whipped around to the "you", which is me. They would follow the, "you" and spinny spinny head shot me. One had spinny issues once and kept spinning like crazy. (Spinning is the easiest way to spot an aimbot hacker). They both had a way of stalking me. If I layed in a far corner, they would come and find me. If I ran, they would find me. I just broke the 10k mark in FFA and have a 1.20 K/D ratio, yet it is getting better fast. I've been world ranked top ten in several games. These guys were obviously hacking and got away with it. I couldn't turn the cam on during the gaming process because it isnt an option. In fact....one of them is in a "top clan".....DATSRIGHTIMBEAST is in the #7 clan inCK. i-_MACKK was his partner and isn't in the same clan. I hope they get busted. I love competition, but I hate sissy hackers.

Re: Why keep adding prestiges?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 04:40:45 GMT

Presige=Glory chasers which a lot of them use bugs. Showing you aren't high presige means you are legit and don't use bugs IMO

Re: Are you getting bored of MW3?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 04:04:49 GMT

MW3 presents no challenge. Good games require a gamer to play smarter than the other players. Figure out their patterns and capitolize on them. MW3 is different. Playing smart can keep you safe and protect your FR. But only the people who research bugs, hacks, exploits, lag and such actually win. Prestige means NOTHING because of bugs. Maybe you earned it, maybe you didn't. But it means nothing because the people who didn't earn it will say they did.

Re: What's the longest you've ever played CoD in one sitting

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 06:56:53 GMT

I've only pushed about 6 hours, but multiple times. When I was single and playing AA I averaged 50 gaming hours a week. That is a lot for FPS gamers, not RPG gamers. I only say that because I was playing an RPG during that "50 hour a week" period. I'm married now and only average about 12 hours a week.

I just noticed a related post, didn't realize someone had alread made one similar. Lots of people talked about washing their hands. I wonder if it helps with thumb grip, gonna try it.

What Is Your "Game Time" Ritual?

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 06:54:27 GMT

The kids are in bed. It's been a hard day. IT'S TIME TO SHOOT SOME PEOPLE! I center my recliner dead even with the TV. Plug in my headphones. I pull up my kids easle to have a place for my "choice" beverage. I take a dry erase marker and do something....I'm not sure is ok to do...so I won't mention that. I put my glasses on because my contacts won't support the rapid eye movement I have when gaming. I reboot my modem to make sure it's not buggy. I join a server and mute anyone talking (although I love to hear people talk about how I am B. S., I want to hear footsteps more). This seems crazy but when I played Americas Army my ritual was much more. Including using furniture polish on the surface before using my mouse, it makes for a faster reaction time. I even put a winter cap over my headphones to keep them tight and loud. WHAT IS YOUR RITUAL HERE?

Re: LAG, LAG, FREAKING LAGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 06:38:02 GMT

I shot 2.0 95% of the night tonight. Every round I was a 2.0 and only got first or second place, mostly first. A person showed up earlier and I started lagging "all of a sudden". My FR dropped to 1.0 and I got second place, he/she had something like a 3.0. This person left and my FR went right back to a 2.0, consistantly. Another person showed up and my FR dropped again to BELOW a 1.0, yet I was consistantly #2. In fact at one point tonight I felt guilty. I joined a server and I was running 2 bar ping. No one could touch me, no one. They were shooting but I could simply walk around them and shoot them in the back. I averaged a 2.5 or so at that point..................Lag Compensation is idiotic. And Lag Compensation+Auto Aim hurts anyone that isn't the "valued player". When I'm not the "valued player" which is often, my Auto Aim is trying to help me. Yet it thinks the enemy is somewhere it isn't and actually hurts performance.

I Am The #1 FFA Player

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 04:52:28 GMT

The title is sarcasm. But I have been gaming for ages and been playing FPS's since 1997. I have been top ranked in lots of games. I get beat some and hate it, but work hard to beat them. But I have never been beat on FFA in terms that I think I should work harder to play better. Every single time I've been CONSISTANTLY beat by someone there is huge lag. Sometimes I even predict the lag and use sound to prefire but strange enough I start slowing down, get laggy, then the sound starts getting quiet. I get shot because it doesn't affect him/her. I typically see people better shots than me in other games and either respect them or hate them. No one has ever consistanly killed me long enough for me to respect or hate them. I have only lost to lag consistantly.......................................Fix the game

Re: The skill of quick scoping! (SARCASM)

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 04:15:00 GMT

I see too many of these kids. I can predict their game play but their advantage is the new players that camp their territory and pick off people trying to kill him.
