Thats right, just played a game with a guy who had infinite fuel to boost and boosted seriously so fuzzy bunny fast. Im not a noob, this was not passive skill tree buffs, this was retarded. I killed him, went to check his name and then got my first crash ever (Awesome!) anubis something was his name... WTF I HATE THESE PEOPLE... dont call them hackers, they arent hacking. They are exploiting, call them exploiters, it makes them sound as sad as their lives really are.

Are you sure it wasnt just a scout using its refuel ability once his main tanks were out? thats like 30 sec of non stop use.

Don't hate me for this but, are you sure it's not lag? Since you crashed and everything.

Yeah I've seen some people move around with unreal speed. Turned out to be a lag burst. (Still killed him though, nobody escapes the wrath of Fred)

It's known that these functions are in game right now, but require secret developer codes to unlock and implement the commands. As far as we know noone has access to them outside of the dev team, but someone might have found it by accident and be abusing it secretly. Keep a note of the player name next time you see it so the dev's can check their logs.

No idea what happened in the situation- but i'll give a +1 to the OP being a good guy. I played a string of games with him a few nights back, great player and good guy. Don't see why he'd make this up. Just my 0.02.

I'm not certain if it's the same thing but this may have actually happened to me once. I was boosting forward then tried to stop, but my mech kept drifting forward as if it were on ice. I noticed my boost meter had frozen too. I could still boost/not boost but my mech was permanently functioning under the boost sliding physics. I didn't do any testing of the bug so I don't know if I really did have infinite boost or the meter was just stuck. Either way, hitting a jump pad made it stop. If this is what you saw then don't go crying HAX. It's an unintentional bug just like everything else people blame hackers for (in my experience anyway).

This, Silk, is not what I saw. I saw a bruiser or assault mech dodging in all directions around 3 times the distance and speed and destroying everyone that came at him. The only thing that saved me was my devilishly (i cant say s e x y?) scout, and my pro skills with the TOW.

No doubts OP is a good guy....but lag seems much more likely to me.

Lag causes clipping backwards, not warping forwards in a dash to 3x the distance like the OP describes. There have been whispers of hax all around the forums, but this is the first plausible sounding one.

Once in one game me and a friend used teamwork to inescapably slaughter a hacker who was doing something that made him able to singlehandedly indefinitely attack an area.  He called us DT-noobs (in a team game), and I had a laugh.

--edit-- uncapped hacker, really script kiddy is the more proper term.  Hacker implies that they have the technical skill.
