BF2S Forums My opinion on the hackers.

SonofASniper wrote:

When a hacker is discovered via whatever punkbuster type program, there should be an instant change in the following codes:

1. Hacker appears to all players dressed in a bright pink ballarena outfit and his location be visible to all players on the mini map.
2. Hacker has enough health for anyone to kill him with one shot.
3. If Hacker gets in a vehicle, the vehicle should instantly explode on the first speed bump it hits.
4. Hacker's weapons should be negative values so that it adds health to any player that he hits, with the exception of other hackers.
5. Hacker should instantly die when trying to grab med packs, ammo packs, or comes in contact with a crate.
6. Point value should be triple for everytime a player kills a hacker, regardless of which team he is on.
7. When the hacker is killed, instead of crying for a medic, the following should be substituted, "I'm such a pussy".  A nice sobbing voice would be perfect.
8.When a hacker is identified and the neccesary coding has been changed, the same hacker should also be permanently global banned after 48 hours of being identified.  No ifs, ands, or buts.

I wish!

All the french hack?,every french clan i have ever player against,this include dod dod.s cc.s etc,they all hack.ban the french???????????.

I was banned* from a french server last night, the Punkbuster reason on the screen just before I was ejected was "Reason unknown". The window when you get back to the server browser was the standard one about "because of excessive team killing or a successful kick vote" so I don't know what the hell happened. Maybe the last guy I killed was an admin and didn't like getting killed by a pistol?

*No bans showing up in the stats though.

I have never seen a hacker in this game.... not 1... ever... in a year of playing...

I've been suspicious a couple of times previously (back when there was no solid proof that PB could be bypassed) but I'm realistic and put it down to the other guys being better, there being a lag/latency issue, or a combination of those. However now we have the 'it's raining vehicles!' thing, which since it comes along with another entire set of cheats is proof positive that there are cheats out there; for those that were in denial

Last night on Karkand I had a very suspicious death where a guy got me with a single shot as he dived. Doesn't sound like much but I was prone inside the last car at Train Accident and he was close to the limit of visibility through the scope of my sniper rifle and he wasn't a sniper.

...and I've seen some shots that are decided dubious, like a pistol headshot from 100m away, but it could all be luck...

Yeah, that's the sucky thing: it could sometimes just be a lucky shot. I'm sure anyone who's played long enough has had one or two fluke shots that they could barely believe themselves.

I got a headshot on the driver of a pickup on Warlord the other night... nothing that special? Except that I was unscoped. What's even better is I didn't even intend to shoot, I was spotting the vehicle as it drove past and eased of the commo key too quickly!

Thanks for the karma everyone.

People who suck at the game hack, so usually hackers suck at the game

You had me at pink ballerina outfit.

I guess I have never seen someone cheating/hacking, besides hotel glitch.

I have been suspicious though.  When my MEC squad leader died and spawn at the left USMC spawn point on Karkand.  He did that a few times.

Good ideas though.  Although, they will never happen.
