It's fun to listen to the hackers whine after you beat them with out using hacks.

What kind of changes would you recommend? And why are we even allowed to change those settings?

some people know how to mod their user cfg file to lower their mouse sensitivity (because for some reason PGI didn't think that was a necesary option)

Spoken like a true hacker.

Just joking...

Only thing I recall seeing was some sort of hardpoint hack/exploit where the mix of weapons carried was impossible based on the varient hardpoints and that was in closed beta.

What can be done by us the players? not much really.I reported someone a few months ago for hacking.We played a few games together and he told me about the things the hack could do,and showed it to me in action.I submitted the report with screen shots of the conversations and hacking in action.That player is still playing the game to this day.Far as I can,tell PGI doesn't care.
It's not really rampant enough *yet* to severely impact the game overall I don't think.Every online game has it's fair share of lousy hackers.MWO is no different.

OMFG.......

Well when they head shot you through a big old rock then it isn't good shooting. When they shoot you through a rock period it isn't good shooting.

I dont complain when I die, generally do quite well. But people on team speak lately are going nuts

Maybe


You and those other people pugstomped high Elo scores in 4mans and are now mostly playing good players, so it just seems like all of a sudden people are aimbotting more, but in reality that's just how good people actually are at the game and they are using 4mans on a competitive level, not the pugstomping level.



On a side note, Elo will definitely prompt more people to cheat if they can.

I have never seen anyone "hacking" ,personally, in almost 3000 drops played. However with 5000+ kills and a 6.5+ k/d i have been accused of "hacking" quite a bit. Perhaps you should refocus your efforts into improving your game play rather than googling for cheat sites.

...feeling catty?

Screen capture + report=win. Help the devs narrow down the search. Grab pen and paper and write down the names of Afk/dc and submit.

Since, I started playing I've only had one really suspicious incident on Forest Colony back when it was brand spanking new... got headshotted in my Jenner from across the map just as the match started and the other team popped 2 others almost immediately too. Granted the sight lines were much clearer back then and doing potshots with a gauss cat was viable especially if you dropped in the right location... knew the map... and aimed at a visable spawnpoint (mine).

No it's bad game design, that makes objects appear bigger/smaller than their actual model size, and its the same the opposite way round, there are a number of buildings on River City that extend beyond their model.

Sooo, for those claiming 0 hackers. Explain this. Singular jump ppc sniper having NOT looked over the horizon comes over just enough to clear guns and ct's you immediately at the begging of a match. Did you have ECM and/or under an ECM bubble at the time? If not, could he have had you targeted prior to the jump?
You relocate while watching and he pops back up 30 sec later repeating this with you in an entirely different location. Dead in 3-4 salvos. Did you have ECM protection? Were you being targeted by a different nearby ECM equipped mech?
Sometimes one of his buddies, also not having taken a prior peak does the same after you move. Most likely not a hack, probably just a matter of someone had you lit up.

Now, said individual(s) is
1)luckiest player in the game( luck happens with a little skill I accept that). as well as a hell of a shot.
2)hacking a 3rd person point of view? or 3) has a wall hack or/and aimbot. This has happened on several occasions. If you don't move and poptarts kill you thats one thing. If you are on the move(not directly at the poptart) with no other spotters, I submit that something is reeking in the trash can. Tell me how you can accomplish this legitimately if not. Maybe I just need to L2P , lol, educate me. High jumpers who miss occasionally but hit mostly are not suspects to me, they are just annoying .

Go to this certain kind of website, take a look into the MW:O section and ull find nearly 12000 player using a cheating programm of those guys. I wont call the name of the homepage, but im aware, that the devs know exactly which site i mean, and they still just ignore it.... dunno why

The only cheat I have noticed is people messing with their connection to give themselves a lag shield. This is a problem in many games and is a tricky one to stop IIRC.

LOL why do you think all these euros/aus want to keep their USA account? For friendship and warm fuzzy feelings? lolool

Tribes had this problem in the early competitive scene. Basically the game is capture the flag and the fastest class on the game runs flags (pathfinder class.) One of the best tribes teams had ALL Americans and ONE euro who was their flag runner...supposedly because he was "the best" at that role. Qualified to finally play on a lan tournament and got DESTROYED since people could finally hit him.

I mean with a good mouse and modding your User.cfg you can get head shots so freaking easy.

i ask you where is the setting to adjust this or yet another person who says yeah aimbots are bad, but hey, i know how to change the games files to suit me and get an advanatge over other players, but hey i'm not cheating.

Play the game as per how the devs intend or just know your just as much a cheat in my eyes as those who pay for aimbots. mmmm k

I can make a webpage in the next five minutes advertising a working hack for MWO, and claim i have millions of subscribers to it.
What you actually get, and what i actually have are two very very different things.

Well 1st off, i'd really like a Australiasia server, planetside 2 has one and it makes it fun since i can play with a 50 or less ping rather than 250 here, you try hitting things with AC's with that ping, till they fixed the netcode, an ac20 or guass rifle was useless to me as i'd miss more than hit.

So don't be assuming all us Aussies or Europeans want to play with high ping thanks!
