Screenshots? Video? Nothing?
Its a gosh damn shooter game, what did you expect lol. These people see mmo in front of it and think the hacking will stop? Dont care if it says mmo, its just a damn shooter game. Shooter games = hackers.
Well, to be fair, my thread that showed a video got deleted. I'm not complaining about that, I don't mind, but you can see why he can't post a video. Yes, it's easy to find them, just go to youtube and sort by the last 2 days, it's full of videos.
welcome to fps pvp..what did you expect

yeah but this is SOE.. they are notoriously slow/unwilling to act on things like this.

they should hold events for those caught hacking before they ban the account.. have a guide or gm walk the condemned out and then.. WHACK

And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill,

Only banning the account doesn't matter when new accounts are free to make. Anti bots/hacks is one of the reasons an initial cost is important in online gaming. Be that box price, setup fee, or something else, it just needs to be something you pay at full access account creation.

Yeah, but most of them are arena fps like CoD or BF3 or Counter Strike right? Big open world is diffrent + even more importantly game is freemium which means that cheater can just create another account for free and cheat / troll on another, while in other games you would have to buy another copy.
You guys can look back.. staunch supporter.,
I had to shut do the game this afternoon because something happened overnight. I had no fun. There were only a handful of them but they were in a group and bubbled us. Once they had us pushed far enough, well everything came to it's natural conclusion.
Still fun but I think the amount of reports of this have created people with a "me too" attitude.
PS2 is a perfect storm for hackers.
-an engine that is brand new, written by people at SoE who aren't used to writing engines
-they have no third party hack protection, they were going to use punkbuster but it's still not implemented
-it's F2P, hacking has no repercussion
-it's available to play in Russia and China, they're not using an IP check, incoming hackers
-it's a FPS, need I say more
-it's an MMOFPS, which means you can't make your own server and use administrator rights to kick hackers
-Using a hack makes you cert points really quickly, which avoids having to spend money in the cash shop
This is the perfect game to hack.
It does seem to be getting a little worse as time goes on. I thought SoE said they had a detection system in place on the official forums somewhere..go figure now I can't find that thread.
Not sure how they plan on getting on top of this.
I've seen various, speed hackers who try to "appear" invsible by enforcing "lag" so the server does not track their position clearly and they "fly" and "port" around the map. (No, max suits can not fly)
I've seen aimbot users who snap on your position and instantly firing a headshot hit by the moment you scope over them (which luckily due to range and weapon didn't immediate kill me)
But i've never seen anyone shooting through walls or insta killing 20 at once....
I've seen gunship players wrongy accused of hacking, because they shoot at a specific position so they could hit the interiours of the building killing dozens over and over while floating above the station. But the weapon which did kill you + the sound should have been a dead giveaway of what is actually going on..
How can people enjoy ruining the game. It takes away the skill and everything epic about the game. Somethings seriously wrong with them.
I saw a youtube video that someone posted yesterday on the official forums of an NC hacker that held a base by himself against probably 50+ people. All the typical goodies, aim bot, along with area radar/sonar so he could see on his screen where everyone was positioned. Honestly though, I've played the game a lot since launch and I still don't find the hacking all that prevalent. The unfortunate thing is that it doesn't need to be to have a major impact on the flow of the game.
This will be the death knell for any future plans for PS2 to implement player created/owned bases, a deeper system of alliance conflicts, etc. No one will want to invest time in anything persistent if it can be swept away by cheats/hacks.
The internet is about the "lulz" .. The 4chans and reddits of the world make sure that everyone will laugh at you while you rage at getting "roflpwned" by a hacker in an FPS...
They don't care about the "skill", the potential of becoming a pro player or any of that.. They just want to see how mad they can make you so they can turn you into a meme on a bulletin board site and lol at you with their friends..
They already said they dont delete them, just move them into a places where the mods can view them.
