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

Are you saying that it appears that 12,000 people are using a hack in MWO or are you just saying there are12,000 people registered on the that particular un-named website?
I think we'd notice 12k's worth of hackers,...we'd never win a match

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.

I agree

a few days a go i got a lucky headshot on a hunch right after i killed a lol's knell with a shot to his back. So there were 2 kills from me in a few seconds. They called me a hacker, and a cheater and an ***... i was sad

I've played this game quite a bit and I don't think there are any 'hacks' in MWO. I do believe there are stat padders, which is a form of cheating. On the MWO reddit there's a lot of talk about teammates doing team damage for the tourney to increase their scores. I feel this is happening. After 7 hrs of continuous play there was one guy that made his account two days ago that was in first place. A player like this can take advantage of doing damage to teammates as well as play against low-skill teams. Such a player's team is also low skill, so they won't react to friendly fire as much as an experienced team.

I did this a few days ago on 2x Atlas headshots one after another...I thought for sure I would get called a hacker...I got lucky but, to be fair I did aim for them. Usually when I do nothing happens let alone 2 in a row.

I personally don't think hacking is rampant as some people say but it is becoming more suspicious.

[Redacted] What can be done?

okay, a few things there champ that I'd like to go over with you.

1. if you suspect someone of cheating, this is slander unless you have irrefutable absolute proof of the deed
2. if you have irrefutable absolute proof of the deed, turn it into the authorities ONLY. In this case that would be the support team. I know we live in the facebook society where everybody thinks its okay to get into the private business of others, but honestly if its a rule breaking situation that's detrimental to you and/or other people then you give it to the rule enforcers so they can do what they're paid to do. Of course "detrimental" is subjective but I like to think in this case it means "endangering others or spoiling fun"
3. in the event information does leak out, make sure you have no connection to it
4. Did you see the policy against name and shaming on the forums? that's there for your benefit as much as theirs and the people you have issue with.

Report the player in question to PGI, realize that there is a 99% likelihood they aren't a hacker and you're wasting PGI's time. Continue playing and getting mad about people with better skill and/or variations of a game in beta state.

I see a lot of 3Ls with pings too high to be accounted for by being on the other side of the world.

If you're on a crappy line, pings can get insanely high. If I try to play during the evenings, about every other game I'll have maybe two minutes where my ping goes up to 2000+, sometimes 5000+. That's not something anyone would want, though, there's no chance to even pilot when that happens. You just jump all over the place constantly.

Intentionally throttling your connection speed to gain a lag-shield is an old trick that goes back to any game with an auto-aim feature, such as traditional "WoW-like" MMOs. FPS's don't tend to have an auto-aim feature, so a high ping becomes a liability. However, streak missiles work on an auto-aim mechanic in this game, so you can exploit a high ping to get an advantage.

It does happen but, like any other kind of cheating, but I don't think it is really widespread. There have only been a couple of times where I have seen it be fairly obvious, like a 3L walking at half speed through an entire group because he knows he can't be touched with a delay of a second or more.

Always remember boys and girls: You must have pitty on someone who's only joy in life comes from cheeting on internet rockem sockem robots. Cheaters always exist, and most of the time, they are just pathetic humans in general.

You know last night I actually had a guy telling me he was videoing me and reporting me to pgi for "hacking" on my 3-D, maybe he overlooked that I was ranked third and fourth all day yesterday and played over 100 games alone. I haven't even edited my files in any way. Makes me realize how the Witch Hunts started. HATERS GONNNA HATE

You can't prove you're not a witch until we see if you float or not.

[F lan Ker]

S!

There are a lot of accusations floating for sure but very few proof have been put out. Hacks/modifications/cheats will always be around, nothing can really be done to it. MWO having them? Sure. Widespread? I do not think so.
