Just a heads-up, a NEW player named "DaIlasCreeper" has been spotted in game, and has been jumping in and out of servers and openly using cheats in an obvious attempt to soil DallasCreeper's name.

 

I'm sure one can guess who's responsible based on what's been going on in this thread.

I don't have a screen shot of that, but HubbaBubba9849 might have video. He said he was recording during one of the matches.

 

I do have a screen shot of a hacker admitting cheats and saying they got them from 4chan IIRC.

Heard that on the TS earlier. HOHOHOSANTA kept saying "DallasCreeper was using an aimbot" and I was so confuzed

[HubbaBubba9849]

I wasn't going to say anything... but I guess if you really want to see, message me and I'll pm you the video.

 

I wont be posting the link here. And for the record, he said 4chan, not reddit.

 

Edit: On second thought, I've decided I'd better not share the video and just leave it to support.

Merely 4chaners grabbing names from these forums, or other forums, activists, etc.

 

It's all in good fun, it may even make the developers wake up to real problems, not pay attention to useless graphical back-end updates.

[Sam123456]

Nothing better to do than take some video during the 'killed by' cam to see if you catch any obvious hacking during that time. Now that there are devs again, I assume hackers would be banned if video proof is provided.

 

As has been said before, maybe some email verification for new users would be an easy first step.

I have always been of the mindset that hacking is relatively rare, including in Hawken. I have even been accused of hacking when dropped into servers with newer players.
I believe I have about 550 hours in game, 2100mmr, and about average in skills. (I know i must frustrate my 2200+ mmr teammates because, although my aim and movement are decent, I struggle with situational awareness in the high mmr games, when enemy tactics and positioning change radically and rapidly, often leading to me over-committing.)
I notice that people who accuse me of hacking are usually in one of 2 camps-
1. Uninformed Casual gamers- people who hop into games occasionally and understandably, do not invest much time in improving by research or practice.
2. Low-skilled players with some insecurity, a lack of imagination concerning the Human skill ceiling, and maybe some immaturity/egotism who are also unconvinced of the benefits of discipline and practice. (We're talking about a video game, but the principle can be applied elsewhere in life.)
Lately, however, as my hours invested and experience have grown, I have seen highly skilled veterans accuse some players of being 'obvious hackers'.
Overall, I do find the situation disheartening.
I, too, have respect for some high skilled FPS gamers, especially those who demonstrate the modesty, humility, grace and maturity that is all too rare in the world these days.
When I was recently presented with evidence that some of these may be hacking, I found it surprising and disappointing.

The long and the short of it: I anxiously await a patch with some anti-cheat.

[Nov8tr]

I await anti-cheat game coding as well. But that will be a ongoing battle as it is in every game that does it. But I am still a huge advocate of being able to "follow" a player inside the game while NOT BEING ON EITHER TEAM. And having the ability to switch which player you are following. It's been done in other games already. It would not only allow you to see just what a player is doing but to record the exact activity for review by Reloaded Support to see if there is indeed cheating going on. It would pretty much do away with extremely good players being accused. Not perfect but a hell of a lot better than what we have now.

Come on people, what are the chances that they're not working an this stuff? Lets get real.
