So what does everyone make of the hacks?

Was he using an A-10 the whole time or something? That's the only possibility

Agreed.

He doesn't show on the ABR stats sheets with that nick... unless you 'shopped it you cheeky monkey

On devfile 24/7, personally the only way i can see you could get a score like that is sniping 90 odd people at 1000m+, but its not my place to judge.

I come to that conclusion because as far as i remember your score increases with range, or has that changed now?

Wasteland · Post by **Wasteland** » 2007-04-09 23:50

You could pull that off alright with a bud feeding you attack commands the whole round. Hell, I could pull that off doing things that way, and I suck at the A-10.

It's certainly "above average", let's put it that way.

92-0 on an infantry map would be highly suspicious but for an A10 pilot on Basrah it is not unusual. A smart tank/APC driver can also rack up some incredible scores.
Some months back some very well known players got busted using hacks and presented some very lame excuses so the tolerance for "experimentation" is very low.
Personally, every time some one makes the cheating accusation in-game I always claim that I do cheat but I do it so subtlety that no one notices.
I always make sure I have a negative KDR when I say that though.
If you do notice something, screenshot it and PM to the server admin.
The MODS frown on threads accusing people based solely on scores.

Agreed: always best to post these kind of things on the forum of the server it relates to.
Keep in house cleaning in house.

I'd still like to know why the OP is impersonating Fritz.

Nah, they either had outstanding teamwork, got revived a couple times... I've gotten like 89-0 in a matter of minutes. Remember, it's pretty easy getting points in PR without doing anything... I swear, it's like I get random points for just doing nothing...

Wasteland · Post by **Wasteland** » 2007-04-10 01:37

That's kills buddy, not points. And the points for nothing are when your squadmates get kills.

A good A10 pilot (who can hit a marker), plus a Commander doing "Forward Air Control" for him can easily do 80-90 kills in a round.

I've done this with =ACE= WhiteTiger on Devfile Albasrah numerous times; him on the A10, me in the Commander's seat.

- JM40.

However, an A10 with 80-90 kills, with NO COMMANDER is suspicious.

Smitty4212 · Post by **Smitty4212** » 2007-04-10 04:19

It is, but at the same time, I've seen people pick up that many kills just hitting facility and the obvious spots over and over and over again the whole round.

I think if hacks were a person they would die in a burning fire, then they would go to hell; burn there some more. Then they would be resurrected as a zombie shot in the head with a Desert Eagle (.50 cal version of course) by that emo looking guy from Resident Evil 4. After which they would go back to hell, lit on fire forever and become Satin's personal slave...

That is all.

hacks are for wee girlies.
I think every hack should come with a free set of pigtails and a dolly.

Desertfox · Post by **Desertfox** » 2007-04-10 07:08

What do I think about hacks, well when I think about hacks I think about '!b RandomCheatingNoob Hacking"

In fact, as soon as I finish some stuff up, im reporting THREE more cheaters =) Server admins! Hands on your ban buttons!

DirtyRat · Post by **DirtyRat** » 2007-04-10 10:13

lol Eggenbert, i totally agree hacking is so pointless, surely it has to be the realm of 12 year olds, I cant imagine any adult wanting to even touch a hack, its like playing ten pin bowling with the rubber bits down the side i.e. too easy and oh so boring!

I suspect some people will always hack, but its normally a small minority, and if you are doing well with the knowledge there could be hackers on the server, and you are beating them fair and square, it makes you feel like Luke Skywalker battling the dark side

PB does find hackers eventually and then promptly bans them from all servers...only recently a new player who joined my 2142 clan C3LL, just passed his trial and then he was attempting to join us one night for training...only to be told he was banned...we quickly checked PB and sure enough he had been caught using a wallhack! he was a nice guy, but we still had to let him go otherwise the reputation of C3LL would be soiled forever.

I just dont understand kids these days and all the cheats/hacks they want for their games, it really does make me think "why bother!?"

Yeah....just same lame emo's...
I sometimes still play Delta Force Black Hawk Down on some clans server, they got 3 kids in the clan and they kick *** without any hacks or even knowing the map - since there are a lot of custom maps for the game....

I used to play C&C Generals so much, that one day, a friend downloaded me a trainer (and a couple of viruses with it), said, that I'd be better with them, but could manage a whole army with 5000 credits, while he just spammed G.I.s with his million bucks hack...lol

I usually cheated Single Player, since some missions were unbeatable (and still are, havent completed some campaigns and I got the games for 2+ years), but never multi-player....
I had a hack for Civilization III, since the AI opponents always grabbed the whole world, and I was left with some bare land without even a single ore mine, lol...but after I figured out the tutorial and tactics, I managed to develop my civilization faster than the computer....had Egyptians on a 17th century level, when the year was 1200

Thats my story, and I agree, H4X gtfo of here!
And shame on the hack devs, they could use their knowledge on something better than this...

He cut and pasted the link from the sticky that Fritz made about adding PR ABR Stats Sigs. He never changed it from Fritz's example.
