BF2S Forums I'm just about done with BF2

Balloons fall from the ceiling...

Congratulations, you're the millionth person to post a "I quit bf2 'cos of hacks" threads.

And they're still lame.

I encountered my first wall hax today, grenades started flying out of the hotel at me and my squad at kark as we were capping it......WTF!?!?

That's not a hack, it's a glitch.
Remember:
glitch: a programmer at DICE and probably the beta testers screwed up
hack: someone bought a program that helps them screw you up


About hacks in BF2... yes, I have seen them in action, but there's only 3 or 4 occasions in about 1600 hours of total ranked playing I am totally sure about. Two were aimbots/wallhacks (one of the the guys belongs to a group that publically made and sold them, before BF2 for other games already), the other two were commander hacks.
They do exist, but definitely not to the extent some people would love to have them quite obviously, because that would be a more comforting explanation than the simple truth: they aren't as good as they think they are.


On a totally unrelated sidenote, I do not understand why people keep bringing up Project Reality in discussions about vanilla BF2 and official expansions/boosters. From my personal point of view, PR uses the engine of BF2, nothing more. The games aren't much alike at all. PR is far ahead in realism, but that is not what everybody wants. I am not a camper, but that mod made me camp a lot, because sooner or later you just get fuckin tired of dying, waiting 35 seconds to respawn and than walking across half the bloody map just to die again on the way to your next objective. As far as teamwork is concerned, I still think one can actually find the same level of teamwork by joining good squads on vanilla/SF pubs, of course not on every server and at any time, but from what I can tell, you might as well end up in a clueless nublet squad in PR, EoD or any other mod.
I consider PR a quite boring and frustrating experience. I am not interested in experiencing war-like situations at my computer, I want to have some good old-fashioned fun, join a server, kill a few people, die a few times and maybe play two or three fast-paced, action-focused rounds, not wait until my hair turns grey before anything exciting happens. From my point of view, PR adresses the America's Army community by far more than the actual BF2 community.

There are alot of hackers - if you don't see em then you are either
1 Very lucky
2 Play Great Server/s
3 Full of shit and most probably one of them
PR is the way forward I think - I haven't played it yet but i've spoken to a friend who has it and its the bollocks - no kids no hax, the way it should be.by all accountsits a bit harder and you have torely more on team work hence the title I guess.

1) Maybe

2) I dont play Wake, karkfuck or an vanilla city maps - so yes, they are great servers
^ ^ I believe that that is probably why I dont come across any actually.

3) Do I have to even answer that?

I think people most people are ignorant to how much of a problem cheating really is in this game. Sure at the beginning and about a year after it came out hackers were pretty rare besides the occasional commander hack of course. But there HAS been a surge of botters or people with tag hacks and general bs since the last couple of  patches. The reason people don't realize that this cheating is going on is because most of the time the hackers are either smart enough not to get too suspicious of a ratio or simply suck too much the game dominate. If you play on a daily basis on 64 kark servers I'm willing to bet that you will run into at least one hacker a day, discreet or not discreet. I wouldn't be surprised if there were at least 2 hackers in every 64 player kark server out there at one time.

Snake the fact that you barely seen a hacker in over 1000 hours is pretty alarming and can only be explained by:

1.) You don't play alot of IO or Karkand IO(tends to attract more hackers)
2.) Your skill level is too low to differentiate between what is possible and what is not without enhancement
3.) You're just ignorant without reason
4.) Stay out of 64 player servers(also attract more cheaters)
5.) Lucky

Well couldn't really come up with any more good reasons for you not to have come across the botters that have been rampant since the last couple of patches. I suggest you search youtube for some SVD botting videos and you will see what me and other people are talking about. SVD bots have been pretty common a couple months ago. G36e botters also come to mind.

Just change servers. Or become a jet whore. If your good enough in the jet no "hack" will save their weak ass.

Someone's using a hack...

Nah, its when that [teamkills]-random nub comes up.

What can I say, theres just way too many cheats floating round and its ruining the game for me.  I swear, I almost can't go a single round without seeing evidence of it now...repeated long-range L85A1 headshots by the same guy, rockets shooting out of the ground, you name it.  Its just no fun.

It was never like this in BF1942, what the hell did you do DICE?

Rockets shooting out of the ground? doubt that.  In over 700hours of play i can count the amount of "real" cheaters ive seen playing the game on both my hands. I think people need to stop whining and just play the game. Supposedly everyone in bf2 is a cheater according to most people. I think you were just getting owned by an l85 in single shot mode.
