yeah for sure. the bottom line is the pr community needs to succeed where ea has failed. they have failed to keep hackers out of the game. why? because the game is specifically for preteens and younger teens. think about it: no blood. no language. no realism. a spoiled b**ch 12 year old doesnt want to learn tactics or get killed with one bullet. he wants to run around like rambo and think that being in the army is easy and fun and when you shoot someone you get a point and when you get shot a teletubby will run up and heal you with his magic medic bag. well f*** that! i want a game with realism, where tactics can be used. one where "practice makes perfect" is actually applicable. an even, fun game for everyone that you can actually be proud of succeeding in. when i end an i/o game in bf2 with 21 and 4... well who cares? everyone does that. when i end a pr game with 21 and 4... well thats awesome. i feel good that im getting better at a game, and that my squad worked hard enough for us to get good scores / i was a good fire team leader or squad leader.

i played bf2 yesterday. i had a kid who was "99" (thats how old he said he was, so really he was about 12-14) call me a "faget" when i went to cap out the other team, because he wanted to spawn camp. he blatantly said this to me and the rest of my team. no pr player i have ever played with has ever said that to me. we are creating a mature community. lets try and keep the moron kids and hackers out. the forced teamwork (which is awesome) does most of the work for us, but we need to keep the vanilla players OUT.

funny thing about that kid... him and his clan buddy went on the other team and tried to gang up on me. the morons couldnt even kill me. i came out with a 2-3 kdr while they had a 1-1.2. f***ing idiots. i hate vbf2 players.

Just looked at that forum link. So are all "macros" and whatnot considered cheating? What about "BF2Enhance"? Somebody linked that a while back on this forum, and I checked it out. I only used it once, as it messed with my in-game chat. But I'd hardly call it cheating. It just allows the user to impliment some options that EA left out.

-Switching weapons with scroll wheel, not requiring a LMC to select
-One click switching between pistol and main weapon
-Toggle crouch
-Untoggle iron sights
-Allow paste in in-game chat

Is that hacking?

Haha. I've had that happen to me in PR. We were at their last flag, and the kid that was SLing actually said over VOIP "Don't cap their last flag. We can spawn camp them."

I was like "............"

........

"ummmmmm.................."

"........wow."

Then I global texted the other side (who were all [PRw] guys --the server admins) "uh, guys, you'll never believe what this kid is trying to do..."

You know looking at that screenshot say's ALOT to me. The main thing is that cheaters are so dumb as to get in a vehicle that pwns so easily (A-10) and let themselves get ridiculous scores like 100-1 or whatever. This is why I hate to see the scoreboard removed from gameplay, because its usually the first (but not only) step in identifying whether someone's cheating.

Like I was saying though, the screenshot seems to show that I was using the Support (PKM) kit for insurgents, which was spot on that round, as I was mostly playing PKM or Policeman. Knowing what kit someone has is a HUGE deal, especially when flying an air vehicle, because you know to avoid the guys hiding around the maps with AA kits. I suspect this is part of the reason why cheaters can get such a ridiculous k/d ration--because they know exactly where/who to avoid. I used used to always think that someone should just grab the AA kit and kill the A-10 cheaters, but OH NO! they cant because the A-10 cheaters know what kit you have before they even get close to you.

Scoreboard will not matter, AFAIK BF2CC will still display scores and I will be checking up on it every once and a while to check if they are removed.

It's certainly cheating.

Fishw0rk, that, and they know what kit you have, instead of choosing to avoid you, they can choose to go directly for you

Good work Desertfox, anyways. Good to see some tools going.

i wouldnt say that. maybe using a program to do that, but there are ways to do some of that without any programs. for instance, i can toggle through all my weapons by pressing one button, since i have an 8 button mouse. and paste in chat isnt really bad, in ut people would have spiffy looking "(.:'|\|1C3 $#07':.)" type macros. and you can change the .con files for bf2 and make your scroll up select the pistol or something.

toggle crouch / untoggle ironsights... well, i guess thats cheating, but it certainly isnt on the level of exploiting or hacking.

I definately can't ever go back to a regular 3 button mouse ever again. I've had my MX510 for almost a year now and I love having six buttons and being able to adjust DPI on the fly. I don't consider it cheating. Anyone who still plays with a 3 button mouse isn't a serious gamer really. I highly suggest a mouse like the MX510's and up with the extra buttons and ability to switch sensitivity on the fly. They are cheap nowadays and it should be standard. You'll never go back to 3button ever again.

PS. In ref to the pic above, I'll admit it must be fun as hell to fly that A10 w/o any fog.

Someone in the server section came up with a good idea! Ban them from the forums by IP.

Wasteland · Post by **Wasteland** » 2007-02-27 22:55

Wouldn't that cause friendly fire, so to speak?

up until recently i had a 3 button mouse. i used a notebook as my pad for a while since my desk was glass. commander doesnt really require mouse 4-8. you just point, click, point, click, right click... etc (im not one for commanding though, so i dont know that much about it). if youre team is doing things right, you will be protected at all times and not go into combat. pulling out your medic bag isnt really that much of a necessity as commander, so if you need to do it, you can take your time. if youre a groundpounder like myself, having fast access to nades / medic / pistol is huge. you should think about getting a new mouse man, it will make you that much better. i mean i owned kids in vbf2 with my 3 button. when i got my 8 button it was insane. i dont know how many times ive gone 5-6 kdr with this thing.

or you could just like to keep it simple, which is cool too, fo sho. to each his own.

i never played quake. ut99 is the best game ever made.

The fraction of a second I will gain from not having to click after a scroll is just not worth it when I'm quite comfortable and good with my current mouse.
