I see your two posts above. I appreciate that you posted them. However, what is PGI going to do about those who exploited this challenge? What about those who have struggled to complete these challenges the honest way?

Chances are if you can't control the outcome of your results in a predictable way you'll be fine.

I think Alex's post implies that PGI would rather we not talk about it until they decide what they want to do, if anything.

[RustyBolts]

I agree Davers. However, that will not fix it, nor make it go away. They need to address it or there will be no credibility to these challenges. Also, it will only lead to more people exploiting them. The planet challenge was hugely exploited, almost everyone knew it and nothing was done. So that led to even more people and units to exploit this challenge.

If you're looking for a scam/exploit proof system.
You're not going to find one.
Ask Apple or Microsoft.
Point being just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.
And those few that do will always ruin it for the rest of us.
Shame on those who did and I only hope you get whats coming to you.
Yeah I know it's a video game, but there no need ruin it for all.

I think its pretty funny that Russ said post screenshots then Alex comes and cleans house then tells you we can't discuss them.

I would tell Alex that he can't stem the tide until they clean house. They know how rampant it is and how open many teams are about it. There is no hiding it any longer.

I know many are hoping that Steam and their protocols will change some of that but PGI is building a culture by ignoring it.

It is said it takes three generations to change any culture. Not sure what a gaming generation would be but I would venture we are at least three deep already.

Do something, don't tell us to shut up about it till you do.

I keep hearing that 'everyone knew last challenge was rigged', but I never heard of it, and I am a forum junkie.

It is not because nobody speak about something that nobody know about it.

People just know it because they have guessed it since long and it's almost an habitude now.

People been exploiting titles and challenges and events since they were introduced.

The more shall we call it competitive, a person is, the more likely they are to exploit something to win more, even sad reasons things like PC games, bring out the worse in people, anything that involves a title or money or rewards, look at how many death stars there are out there that couldn't hit the floor if they fell out of bed.

Cycling federation, the vast majority of competitors are clean just a few exceptions, then it turned out that the few exceptions was an entire team..

Athletic's at amateur status, it was well known that the international teams of the former East Germany, U.S.S.R, China Korea, were all at it, since its gone Pro it's now world wide.

Soon as money gets into sports even E-sports, another reason to think e-sport is sad, it becomes corrupt at some level, some sports more than others.

Basically the bottom line is, the more competitive you are, the percentage that your a ********* in life, is vastly increased, as if you'll cheat to get an advantage in a sport, or game, your likely to do it in other things to, why should M.W.O players be any different.

It's been talked about to death just not on this forum. It would be censored anyways like yesterday.

Everybody knows then there are the zombies and you can't tell them sh***.

Simple logic.

One can easyly guess that people will find a way to exploit and cheat during competition and event.

[Nightmare1]

I just wish that PGI would:

1) Fix it so that people can't disco. It's awfully unfair to have one quarter of your team disconnect as soon as the match starts. There should be lifetime bans for such behavior to discourage it.

2) Fix it so that we can actually get the maps we need. I've dropped all day and have only seen Tourmaline and Mining Collective once each. They're the last two maps I need, and I just can't get them in the rotation cycle. However, I drop on HPG, Canyons, and River City so much that I'm starting to see them in my sleep. The map rotation really needs fixing.

Aaaaah, so when you play a game or enter a contest the first thing you try to do is figure out a way to cheat?
Or, it's an open secret so it's ok to cheat?
How sad.

Very sad, Read on another forum where the same people are coming up with ideas to downplay this fiasco. Can't link to it because of the rules and what else is mentioned but these guys talk like its just gaming as normal. The other thing was reading it I learned two new ways to cheat I never heard of. Do they ever play straight or does being elite mean anything one can get away with?

What's the point of competition when half the winners are a lie?

I am so glad I don't fit in here because the measure of a man is the company he keeps.

Yeah, well if these are evenly weighted maps I'll be damned.

Pretty much everything about this tournament sucks.
