Bad Company 2 has officially been hacked by pb proof hacks

Vindication is a wonderful feeling, glad you guys seeing what I'm seeing

...I must admit, one thought I had is that these guys just move from server to server, mowing down the opposition until they get banned or bored. Kind of like a Borg cube.

ROFL Stinky you may be right.

Wow, sounds like I did the right thing playing away last night. Nobody was on when I logged in so I stuck on a server playing the desert map all the time.
Never ceases to amaze me with people playing with hacks. I just don't get what enjoyment you can possibly gain knowing you are winning by cheating so hard. I guess some people have to win at all costs.

I really haven't played many FPS on-line beyond BF42 and now BC2.

Is it common for a large group on clan members to all at once appear together on another server, and essentially dominate it?

It is not 'common' but happens from time to time. We do it sometimes but do not stack on one side, we evenly distribute and have fun with who ever is in the servers we go pubbing to.

As for those guys, I was there too and I can say that for sure 3 guys had given gaming Viagra in their computers. The others were playing just like all of us. One of the 3 might have been real good but there other 2 definitely had ESP hacks, but no aimbot (unless it was toned way down).

And I'll have you know that another cheat company was giving away their chams for FREE when the game came out. Publicity stutn that resulted in the massive wave of banning in the 3rd week the game was out.

Most of your admins have good feelings and have been playing long enough to realize that, when you get constantly owned , even if you're not a pro, it ain't kosher. If you don't want to ban wrongfully, just kick, most of the time they don't come back. Or ban and let them plead their case. 95% of the time, cheaters never plead.

See you out there soon

Well one thing I found very interesting is that they would leave one player at each point and it seeemed his job was to stay alive and be a place to spawn for the rest of the team. On the snow map they had one behind the tower at the barn and one down at A near the clif area. I don't understand how they capped so fast but I though the idea of the human spawn point was a good one. Could have been one guy from each squad or something like that as to their cheating I am not sure, but I am never sure so it doesn't mean anything to me. I die alot anyway, I just try and keep people alive who can shoot I guess the only thing I would like to point out is imagin if we didn't know doc and what it would be to face him for the first time. Not saying they weren't cheating just something to think about, what if it were a team of Doc's. oh and as for the tanks, there are unlock that make your optics better on the tanks, I haven't used them but they are there.

More food for thought -- in the past couple of days, new gamers entering our server have been regularly kicked by PB for hacks, sometimes specifying Aimbot. The hit rate seems seems close to 100% of new entrants. No proof of anything, except that plenty of gamers are using hacks.

[[JiF]Lt Gav]

Yes I noticed last night the amount of players that were trying to enter & getting kicked for hacks by pb.
At least it does seem to be working & picking up a fair few cheats.

Are you talking about the message that comes up in the center of the screen about someone being banned? If so that is part of the global ban system the server is part of. If someone gets banned within the system of servers, a message is shown on all servers. Our server hasn't detected anyone yet. Unfortunately that means that these weren't new players joining.

[[JiF]Gib]

oh good to know Mike. I hope to see fpscheats.com in the hack name/title soon

I'm good friends with one of the main guys that works on PBBans. I was talking to him the other night and he was saying they was ripping apart the new hacks so they could add them to the coding but they are changing the hacks so fast that they can't keep up with them.

He is one of the ones that buys these hacks so they have the coding for them and said the hack gets new updates on average of 6 times a day to keep it undetectable. I can see why they have such a hard time keeping up with the hacks. They also know about FPSCheats but there isn't much they can do about them until the game makers get involved in trying to shut them down.

I still have all my login info for Pb and PBBans from when I was submitting cheats from the servers I use to own and I browse through the bans to see what new hacks are being used that they have caught and it just amazes me that these people waste their time making all of these hacks when they could productive to the community. I hope to be able to get the game here in the next few weeks, would be nice to have it now since I'm going to have 2 months of doing nothing after my surgery this Thursday.

I felt the CDT guys may have been cheating too, but I usually rack it up as very good. They had a plan and they executed it very well.
I did question some of the kills, but I did not feel I was being killed without being seen. On the other hand if I joined a server like that with a group I would have tried to split it up after the first couple rounds of ownage.
I have played with Doc sitting behind me playing and if he was not right there I would swear he was cheating.
Very tough call to make sometimes. Usually the best we do is a small squad that spawns together with no great plan.
Those guys did seem to have a full game plan with multiple squads.
I was not aware of all the hacks for the game you mention either. Too bad they exist.
Still we have had some pretty fun rounds on the server

[[JiF][AARP]Grimp]

Oh, we kinda did the one guy stay alive thing the other day and it worked well. Gets pretty boring for the stay alive guy sometimes though. The oposing team eventually had to demolish the building I was hiding in and I still found places to hide and lob grens at them

[[JiF]Stepovich]

I always think of the "not knowing Doc" scenerio...
and it tempers how I think and react to people who are owning me in game.
It's like the old days when Bort ruled the skies, there was always someone coming
on yelling "hack!"
Hell, I've seen people yell that out ingame about Doc too

That being said, I think previous posters are spot on that, after doing the FPS thing for so many years, if your gut says something is wrong, it probably is.

Sometimes I chalk it up to being off my game, but it has happened where I've played several rounds and am really on a roll, then I'll see some new names come ingame and I'm suddenly 1 kill and 15 deaths in the hole.
I've left sites like that when it became obvious that something was amiss.

We can only hope that PB keeps up with the hacks so that they continue to be only a minor irritation... because this game has tons of promise!

[[JiF]Mike]

A few days ago PB released an update for BC2. You probably didn't notice it as it is supposed to update silently. I received an email from the host about it and meant to let everyone know. I forgot!

[[JiF][AARP]Grimp]

Well does that mean I can't blame bad rounds on cheaters?
Very disappointing That is gonna put a big hole in my ego
I am sorry about shooting parachutes last night, but there they are just floating down from the sky.
Actually I only shot a few rounds, but did see some messages from the other team complaining about it.

Base camping. I have never been one with strong feelings about base camping. Things get stupid and I back off or change teams when I notice it. What I don't understand is that why some maps that obviously need it don't kill players when they get into a starting spawn. Go out of bounds and die, go into a enemies starting spawn and kill. Seems the technology is there to stop it maybe it should be used.

I completely agree with this...
Nothing is worse than repeatedly spawning in your main spawn and get killed instantly.
It's a patented way to lose players from the server.
